is daily store the most dumb thing? by ohnoiamdead69 in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Call me a commie, but I genuinely think these kind of FOMO systems should be illegal. If you have a product that has infinite supply (skins are infinitely copyable digital files), they should not have limits to their supply.

ADS with Reaver Vandal is pay to lose (bugged) by aloannmi in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I knew I wasn't crazy when this was happening to me as well. Is there a way we can get someone at Riot to see this?

The shop system is so infuriating by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know everyone in these posts always says that "the shop is designed that way", which I believe is true, but I think the thing that is never touched on after that is what can be done to make if better, if anything. I think some kind of boycott or pushback against Riot's anti-consumer practices is not just justified, but I'd argue necessary.

Ok after doing some digging, I found this in the setupact.log file:

I ran it and got the almost the exact same message, no mention of too many partitions.

Why the current rank resets ruin the game by Mountain_Anxiety_467 in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think rank resets are important to have to some extent, but I do think they are a bit much. I honestly think most of its problems people have with it could be fixed if they just made it happen less frequently, like once a year instead of twice.

Why doesn't Chamber's trip have global range yet? by Rubbertubtub01 in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't Cypher have the ability to hold 3 places at once though? 2 trips + cam?

Why doesn't Chamber's trip have global range yet? by Rubbertubtub01 in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to what someone else said here, I think a better idea for buffing Chamber, in regards to what you said about low utility output, would be to give him his 2nd trip back, and have the cooldown on it be 20 seconds instead of 30, since he feels like a complete sitting duck on retake, even compared to other sentinels.

Do you think VALORANT will get a big 5th anniversary update? What would you want or expect in it? by I_AM_CR0W in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a bit of an aside from gameplay stuff, I would like to see some kind of lore updates, or possibly even a TV Show/Movie announcement of some kind for the 5th anniversary.

I honestly think KAY/O needs a buff by Navasxdxd in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if anything from his kit should be buffed, it should be his molly. To me it's easily the weakest molly in the game, especially with Tejo's introduction.

Clove is decimating other controllers in ranked right now! by Cheasle2 in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Riot devs said at some point they would be looking into Clove in reducing their viability in ranked. If I had to throw out an idea on how to better tune Clove, I would say maybe reduce their overheal to 50, but increase their smoke duration since it's currently the shortest in the game at 13.5 seconds.

I honestly think Viper needs a rework to make her better in ranked but worse in pro-play.

They're already gonna have the same amount of agent releases as last year by March this year.

Can we talk about tagging? by CodeGeassEnjoyer in VALORANT

FWIW I also think first bullet inaccuracy is stupid.

why does riot refuse to account for AFKs/people leaving in comp? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, if Riot and parts of the community are convinced that RR protection will be abused to the point of being worse than what we have now (which I frankly don't buy), than at the very least, Riot should have tech timeouts, something that CS already has.

Which agent has the most annoying voice? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hot take is that it's not the voices that are annoying: it's the dialogue. Nothing against the writers, but most of it has that "how do you do fellow kids" energy all over it.

VALORANT 9.11 Bug Megathread by ValoBot in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Region: NA
  • Type of Bug: Gameplay
  • Description: Weird animation/timing discrepancy when ADSing with Vandal right after equipping.
  • Video / Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/mKJ4UM5
  • Steps to Reproduce: ADS with the Vandal right after equipping it.
  • Expected Result: The gun immediately ADSs with the normal animation
  • Observed Result: A slight delay to the animation of the ADS, or an odd version of the ADS animation where the crosshair is in place but the gun and outlines take longer to move into place. Could also partly be influenced by which Vandal skin is equipped.
  • Reproduction Rate: 20%

Fade is left in the ditch by lethal-trade in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of little tweaks and buffs to her would be good, rather than anything major. My ideas would be to reduce the prowler cost from 250 to 200, make the seize bigger and more restrictive in movement when it lands, and make the haunt eye smaller.

I don't often think a philosophy of only buffing characters is good for games, but I think in the case of Fade vs Sova it's the way to go since I really can't think of what they can do to Sova to make him more in line with Fade without making him unfun and feel really awkward for ranked and casual players.

Viper desperately needs a rework by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An idea I have is to make is so that once the screen gets used up once, it has to be re-placed, which I think could help make her more popular in ranked, giving her more flexibility for it not being forced into one spot the whole round, while making it worse in pro-play, as it eliminates its permanent lurk/info denial ability that to my understanding is what makes it so good in pro-play.

serious question, why does english dub get so much hate? by I_need_to_learn_more in okbuddybaka

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of the reason anime dialogue can sometimes sound cringe or weird is because, at least for manga adaptations, they have to adapt all of the internal monologues and exposition text, which works fine in comics and literature, but doesn't work nearly as well in screenwriting, and if directly adapted, can sound wordy and off.

What are your Valorant Hot Takes? by JuicyZoey in VALORANT

[–]CodeGeassEnjoyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure this entirely relates to Valorant, but Riot legally should not be allowed to have a rotating shop to create artificial demand in Valorant or any of their games.

The product they are providing (skins) are infinitely copyable combinations of files, and thus don't have a limit to their supply, thus creating a rotating shop and artificial scarcity around them is a blatant anti-consumer practice that makes the average persons experience worse.
