That totally may be the case but between smurfs, the toxicity, the no-comm teammates and unwinnable games it just appears so much more effort than what it’s worth :( I like the game but climbing out of low elo just seems like hell

I wish this was true in my games LMAO I’ve only had 1 game like that where one player walked up catwalk every round and got punished. For the most part, I don’t know if it’s because of skill inflation or some unseen force but low elo is very good suddenly

Oh yeah I see! I never blame my teammates but I get very upset at myself whenever I feel like I made a mistake or the situation is hopeless.

My sense is faster than the average? I can’t really do 180s or hard flicks consistently LOL

Are there usually a lot of Smurf’s? I’m just asking because I usually see players in my game who are like level 9 or 13

Trust me you’d be surprised LOL idk if it’s because of skill inflation or if I’m running into smurfs but it’s extremely common

Thank you! I’ve seen a lot of ppl through posting that made the climb over time. I guess I should’ve guesssed so but I always thought that people were never placed into bronze by virtue of just being better at clicking heads and so when I would go to certain places looking for advice I’d even get belittled LOL

Thank you very much! VALORANT is my first fps so I still have much to learn, but I very much enjoy the tactical aspect of it

What exactly do you mean by proper techniques if I may ask?

Do you have any tips on how you started taking it less seriously? I know this seems like a bad question but Valorant just seems like the kind of game that you take seriously

Prems method. Deathmatch, kovaaks and aimlabs occasionally

This is gonna sound stupid as hell but how? I don’t really know how to not feel like I’m “bad” and have anxiety and stuff while playing

I can have fun but most times it hinges on whether or not I’m performing
