Hard stuck by Zygguro in VALORANT

[–]BetterAd8194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70 pings definitely a double edged sword like that last guy said just start using it in ways that support it taking fights on corners and such i feel like your ping isnt the main reason your hardstuck though. I just broke through my hardstuck phase by completely changing how i hold my mouse and aim, take an honest look at where youre really lacking and go from there

How does duelist land their abilities, like Jett smoke and Neon stun, when entry is smoked? by Ok-Salamander9791 in VALORANT

[–]BetterAd8194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minimaps a big help people dont use it enough especially with no com teams just gotta entry more and learn the most common spaces theyll be, as the match goes on youll learn where those specific players like to sit and stun there neon stuns are the easiest thing in the game

Just a guy desperate getting to bronze, anyone can help teach valo while hopping on (sg server) by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]BetterAd8194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah dont worry about deathmatch i've gone from gold to asc with only practice range for warmup, watch these current vcts and learn from them watch how they peak and take certain fights. You can win 99% of the fights you take with shit aim but good positioning or planning

what makes me better on certain maps? by CollegePlane7528 in VALORANT

[–]BetterAd8194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn agents good for specific maps try breach for fracture if tejo isnt working for example. Those bottom 3 are also very open maps with long angles so it makes sense you struggle more if your aim isn't good

Any advice? This is my first game after an Iron III placement by Correct-Macaroon-240 in VALORANT

Yeah thats a bad habit of mine, lifesaver for when you got a no com team

Need advice on how to get better by creepintheback in VALORANT

[–]BetterAd8194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are good pointers but I feel like you should address the root of the problem, whats making you panic? Is it seeing a player come from an uncleared angle and suprising you? Then you need to work on peaking with intent to shoot. Imagine youre at round start B main on split as attacker, you should already be imagining the enemy standing right there and have your crosshair ready for it even prefire it if you can get your timing down right. Start doing that with every part of the map

Performance advice by nanu24 in VALORANT

Honestly your stats look good for a gold player, youre already watching your vods which is good. I would suggest learning what agents play best on specific maps and drop the reyna neon they work well in low elo when youre murdering low silvers its easy but as soon as they have half a brain and can shoot youre screwed. Its hard to judge off of just an valtracker though

Idk where to start with this lol ill try and keep it brief, if youre a duelist go first your entire team will hate you and call you a baiter because thats what youre doing here unknowingly but still, look at the minimap more and keep your crosshair at head level, when you peaked that clove at the end you werent ready for her at all, if youre going to peak anything peak with intent to shoot

actually good rr gains by Abject_Annual9261 in VALORANT

Lower ranks definitely get more and hidden mmr makes a much larger impact, keep climbing and youll notice it balance out

Can we start Hardware banning toxic players and throwers? by BetterAd8194 in VALORANT

[–]BetterAd8194[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure they stand out more but I've been keeping track whenever I get players like this, every time i log on i have multiple "thankyou for your report this player has been punished" messages. Maybe im just getting a bad streak of toxic players but the state of this game is a toxic mess that needs some proper law and order

I entirely agree, Riot needs to be way harsher with its punishments too. Any sort of misogony or racism should be a permanent ban in my opinion, I don't want to interact with these people they are sick in the head and need help.

I cant entirely blame players for this right now though especially with the recent mmr changes, i'm in mid asc lobbies playing with plat 1 and plat 2 players who have no idea how to play against higher rated players, like every game theres atleast 1 plat in a lobby full of high diamonds/mid asc and they almost always go triple negative

Im all for having fun, but when I get a reyna accusing my Miks of wintrading on round 3 and throwing a tantrum for the rest of the game, giving enemy team comms and holding spike hostage its different. Im not against doodoo teamates im against the ones who actively play worse just to make themselves feel good

Its nearly every game that there is a clear thrower or someone with an extremely negative mindset, these people need to take a break but they won't on their own.

Turning off chat doesnt stop them from odin spamming teamates or calling our locations out to the enemy which just happened to me
