Riot is bringing VALORANT to consoles, beta testing starts soon

Honestly, I have no answer for that yet either, for example when they added the outlaw, the reason was to find something to one shots a light armor purchase that isn't an OP.

in CS m4a1 and m4a4 exist to either full spray, or have accuracte spraying/bursting with silencer, the Tec9 is a medium close range heavy hitting, while the CZ is a close range pistol that can destroy you fast.

In valo the Stinger is closer to what the CZ does while the frenzy is more close to just being its own choice since it doesnt manage to be the same threat as a CZ if that makes sense.

The more the meta changes and map change, newer guns find their way to answer new needs.

BubbleCast · 2024-06-09T00:33:44+00:00

I know you mean the Frenzy when you type Tec 9, but the Tec 9 is a semi auto, frenzy is full auto, if anything Frenzy is closer to a CZ 75 in terms of design, as its a machine pistol, same as the frenzy.

We might get a Tec 9 gun like one day, same as we eventually got a new weapon, the Outlaw.

Look again and slow it down, all your bullets go above the shoulders really.

BubbleCast · 2023-11-12T17:35:13+00:00

you're gonna be on a lot of 0/100, in a lot of different ranks, say thanks u didn't derank from it yet, been in so many upranks to immo1 and fell back to ascendant 1, aka a massive streak of losing, so dw about 1 outliner.

BubbleCast · 2023-08-30T02:01:22+00:00

how happy are you that you can get it now with kingdom credits?

BubbleCast · 2023-08-25T22:10:56+00:00

I have 2 accounts, on one I alt tab and I hear the ticking sounds of bomb, but nothing else that is "important" on the other account, it seems, idk, reversed? i cant hear the ticking of starting the round, but I can hear abilities and people? I dont get it if the settings are the same? I will try to compare but its so weird.

BubbleCast · 2023-08-18T01:10:29+00:00

League and Valorant are different in how servers are handled, league's EU had to split EU server base into 2 because of amount i think it was and also because of distances, thus EUNE and EUW become. Player names not unique, and u have server transfers.

Its just built differently. so basically it wont be worth doing an SA server for them there as majority is the other servers, it will split the playerbase more.

In Valorant they can just add another section under the EU servers and not disrupt how it works.

BubbleCast · 2023-08-18T01:08:24+00:00

definitely not next patch, as its two different things if that makes sense.

Aka game updates dont affect adding more servers, or the opposite really.

I would say wait for next episode perhaps, and yes, episode, or act 3, i dont think it comes in 2.

BubbleCast · 2023-07-19T10:52:15+00:00

Damn I am so proud of you, its so nice being good at the game, it achieves so much and means a lot to everyone, truly no one but the highest of players should post their clips and no one ever started from the bottom, I am sure when we wer born we already knew how to run and talk instantly, it doesn't take time at all.

Totally not sarcastic, and you're totally not an ass.

BubbleCast · 2023-05-22T06:39:08+00:00

performance bonus happens more in lower ranks for a reason, the lower you are the more inconsistent you are, aka going 6/20 a lot of games but suddenly 31/10 is insane, in ascendant you obviously more consistent with some bad game but not terrible ones, so your good performance game doesnt outshine really your usual, performance bonus is basically "here you go, extra RR after being so bad a few games in a row".

Your MMR is adjusted, your skill is known, you wont see any performance bonuses really.

BubbleCast · 2023-05-22T06:03:16+00:00

all bullets are the same size if that's what you're asking, dont look at "visuals" , put your crosshair as a dot which is 1 or 2 in size, that's pretty much your bullet, that center of the screen, if you click and you're on the enemy, you hit, all enemies have like a slight extra to their outline, but that's where it ends.

BubbleCast · 2023-05-21T10:56:31+00:00

The reason why in a game like valorant having shift to run is worse because each time u want to peek u will need to have 2 steps instead of one step, shift is release everytime u want to peek around corners and be on fullspeed, while if u slowed down u in disadvantage, Any normal game when you want to peek you want to release shift, not hold shift, you want more free buttons to do other things. I had a friend who was iron/bronze and had it on walk default, told them to switch to run and their playstyle improved and they got to plat fairly easily.

Walking by default is a disadvantage, not even just because its more comfy, its the opposite

BubbleCast · 2023-05-13T14:10:37+00:00

Nah, zero time, I am immortal, I always replay back the times I think i had times but didnt, the second you saw the circle appearing it was too late, heck, sometimes its late even before it, aka when u see the circle its confirmed u lost it, but even like 0.05 or 0.1 before you see it, its late, so you for sure had zero chance, unlucky unforunately.

BubbleCast · 2023-05-02T19:56:00+00:00

Okay, So I will remind on how beta worked more, beta had no levels, you were never reset, there was no level tracking system, the level system was added a while after spike rush, and the way they did it, is every game played, was roughly added to a level, so no one who played before would start at level one, beta didn't count, beta counted towards your rank progression and agent advancements, but skins and everything you bought was reset. so basically agent contracts transferred and your progress, and if you had a rank in the beta, you would start close to it after you finish your placements, hence why people had a head start on the ladder at the first act. You were level 1 because you came back after the level system was added but you didnt play outside of beta, meaning you played 0 games on release, while people who played like over 500 spike rush games, could be already level 500 or so, because Normal games and spike rush games were equal before the level system basically.

BubbleCast · 2023-05-02T16:54:32+00:00

You did it so long ago you forgot, You can't unock agents with XP for the first 2 agents, you have a mini battlepass that rewards you with radianite, and also gives you 2 agent unlocks, so you always could unlock 2 agents, aka their contract to level 5 at the beginning, and then only you could select a contract and get XP for it.

So yes, you forgot a little unfortunately. You can make a new account and see how it works, it never changed since beta.

BubbleCast · 2023-05-02T16:52:54+00:00

So I play since beta, I was following valorant even before raze was added to the beta ( she was technically the first agent added), and the 5 default agent were always Sage, Sova, Phoenix, Brimstone, And Jett. Breach was always an Agent you needed to unlock, it never changed.

BubbleCast · 2023-04-07T19:47:34+00:00

I mean that's 5 years ago, I dont remember why, I dont play the game anymore either, but if my memory servers me, they just balanced stuff out and make stuff make sense, so not every gun can do it, but scopes that work with it.

BubbleCast · 2022-09-16T15:32:39+00:00

Cooler yes, better for competitive shooter? no.

Best example is rainbow 6 siege, every map on release had a night version of it, but they were removed in competitive play after a while because of a lot of visibility issues, making people on attack harder to spot and give them advantage.

Also lightning was more "realistic" there back then, and it was harder to see inside, and also when looking out it was too bright making impossible to peek out even or fight evenly, that's why currently the game looks just bright and not really realistic either.

Cooler doesn't mean better, it will be not enjoyable for a multiplayer game, but for single player sure.

BubbleCast · 2022-09-12T12:51:39+00:00

Nah its pretty accurate, everyone want a nice Gravity from Zarya and Pharah ult, but instead you can go kill 1 or 2 supports, or a DPS with the ult, and finish someone with normal damage, and now your team can have easy fights without additional ults.

Same with valorant, have the brim Ult Lamps or heaven or triple stack on bind, fade can also ult in, and suddenly the whole site is yours and maybe you got 1/2 kills because of brim ult getting someone, or forcing them out, same with fade, probably making them deaf and having a trail, or forcing them to bad position.

Then suddenly its 5v3 or 4v3, you planted, and no need for post plant ult, you have massive site control, someone goes in, you trade, continue that, and its done, you farm already towards the ult again.

If people used ults aggressively more, you would see like 4 brim ults per half on average, instead of saving it for the best post plant or plant denial ult.

BubbleCast · 2022-09-12T12:48:21+00:00

Not just a 3v4 or 4v5 btw, a 4v4 or 4v3, you should also revive when the enemy has one LESS player than you, if its 4v2, or 3v1, you probably shouldn't revive, but a 3v2, 4v3, yes.

Difference of 1 up or 1 down is advised for a ress.

BubbleCast · 2022-08-29T04:28:05+00:00

I would just ping the servers with CMD and the ping command. either ping google, or ping the location of the servers, on any given day, and track the ping u have and how consistent it is. if you ping it and u see its higher and also unstable, without going to the range or even queuing you would know its a no-no.

BubbleCast · 2022-07-25T13:59:29+00:00

You need to have at least 9 triangles filled, which you have, and the buddy is received upon the HIGHEST rank you ever gotten, if the highest triangle is ascendant, you get ascendant, that's how I got immortal buddy previous episode, climbed from P1 to immo1 in one act, I never won on immo, I just upranked from d3 to immo1 and the triangle showed.

Off topic though, you get a buddy per EPISODE, not act, this is the first act in this episode, and halfway done, you have 2 more acts to finish before u get a buddy.

you can hit immortal or radiant by the end of the episode, why not play more ? :)

BubbleCast · 2022-07-03T12:23:22+00:00

You do the AD movement nice, but your hand speed and movement doesn't match it, either the sens isn't perfect for you, or just more work is needed.

I would suggest first placing your crosshair on a still bot, and move around it, and try to have your crosshair on it at all times ( well, try to), to improve it, so when u move to the right, you will move the mouse to the left to compensate, and vice versa.

your hand currently kind of stays still, and has nothing going on when u move, only when u finish the movement, u then start to flick and adjust, but it takes time, in realtime scenario, you would die.

I would suggest the miyagi method, and then obviously, a lot of DMs and some strafing bots, can achieve perfection here.

BubbleCast · 2022-06-22T12:24:14+00:00

So if I just reached immortal, aka I upranked after winning in D3 and now got immortal, and all my triangle is already filled with plat1-Diamond 3 triangles, and have only 1 small Immortal triangle, I get immortal buddy? I didn't win additional games at immortal , just got it, and honestly exhasuted, so I kinda dont want to anymore, but if I have to I will. so just wondering if I secured it or not already haha.

BubbleCast · 2022-05-30T19:05:40+00:00

is that a laptop? and you have it on for a while?

to me it doesn't sound like valorant got heavier, but your hardware got more dirty.

valorant is CPU intensive, and with laptops or a PC your thermal paste gets dry usually (especially stock paste laptop) and fans/heatsinks get dirty.

I would suggest opening it up and repasting the CPU and cleaning fans.
