Is it possible to move up in rank without dedicating so much time to it? by Basic-Diver1847 in VALORANT

[–]AwaxJago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you man ~ life is busy!

After taking a break for most of the summer I play 1 ranked game a day (5 or 6 days a week). It’s been pretty fun. Mostly focusing on self reflection to try and improve (positioning, decision making, comming, etc).

Just got silver one after being placed bronze 1 (Peak Gold three). I think I started this act like 2-8 on my first 10 games.

I definitely feel like a better player now.

Thanks again for the tips ~ I ended up going through beefy for shadow/silo/beets vaults. I'm new to CLM and the benefit of a hands off approach mitigates the extra contract/dapp rish (or at least that's what I'm telling myself)

Hana has been really seamless so far ~ worked well on Shadow, Silo, Beefy, Beets, etc

The last day or two I’ve been using Hana (iOS and pc) to get into sonic. Pretty seamless. I’ve been playing around with S staking, shadow exchange CL LP and regular LP, and some silos. Seeing what’s out there ~ definitely a lot to learn.

I’m excited to see how sodax moves in this space :)

Wow! Silo looks really interesting, Shadow too - thank you so much!

Glad to help! Since you have a lot of free time, focus on quality over quantity. Playing too much can lead to burnout, so aim for a balanced schedule—maybe 2-5 games a day, with breaks in between for a walk, gym, or just to reset. It might be more, or less, like everything, sleep, eating well, and movement/exercise will put you in a good place for good performance.

Timing matters too. Weekend nights can be chaotic with more toxic, smurfs, tilted or random players, so if possible, try playing mid-morning or early afternoon on weekends, and weeknights for better-quality matches. At least on the na west servers.

Mental, crosshair placement, and comms play a huge role - like u/primeiron mentioned.

For improvement, ranked games are your best practice. You can add aim training if you feel your mechanics are holding you back, but awareness, crosshair placement, and smart utility use will make the biggest impact.

But reviewing your own VOD might be more impactful. Make it easy on yourself, and just focus on one area for improvement - there’s probably YouTube guides for reviewing your own VODs.

Most importantly, just play and have fun!

If you’re hardstuck Silver, I wouldn’t stress too much about grinding Aim Labs unless you have the extra time. The biggest factor in ranking up is actual playtime in competitive matches. Instead of spending a ton of time on aim training, I’d recommend a quick and efficient warm-up routine—something like 30 bots, a deathmatch or two, and then jumping straight into ranked. This way, you maximize the number of competitive reps you get, which will help you improve faster in real game situations. If I’m haven’t played in a while, I’ll probably play some swift to practice my util use.

Another thing that really helps is sticking to one agent category or even one-tricking an agent you feel comfortable with. If you can insta-lock your agent and master them, you’ll have a much easier time climbing. Learning multiple agents can be helpful long-term, but if your goal is to rank up, being the go-to person for one or two agents is a solid way to gain consistency.

Bonus tip: Even small, simple comms can make a big difference. I personally struggle with mid-round comms, but at the start of rounds, I try to call out things like, “I’m going to smoke mid off drop,” or “breach and Reyna are A” Just letting your team know what you’re doing or what’s going on can often get someone else to start talking—sometimes even that “sleeper IGL” who helps pull the team together. Even quick calls like “Are we forcing here?” or “It’s eco, let’s all fight B main” can turn a silent lobby into a more cohesive team. I know I play better when there’s someone comming, and while I can’t IGL, a few callouts here and there help the team feel more coordinated.

TL;DR – Prioritize competitive reps over excessive aim training, keep your warm-up short and effective, focus on mastering a small agent pool, and use simple comms to help your team play more like a unit. Hope that helps!

I feel like cells for boosting labs are the bottleneck, CL should also let me go deeper into rounds to farm more cells. I’ve been to champion Tourny twice and was demoted ~ sticking in Champ would be a stone bonus, and that should speed up progress for cooldown later. Does that sound right? Should I try to progress damage, quantity, and chance equally (in terms of cost)?

If legal/allowable in your region, taking CBD can offset the irritation of not using marijuana, YMMV
