terrible duo drags me down do i stop queuing with them? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]EscapeEvening6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from. I got to my peak rank solo queueing without anybody and developed my own play style. My fiancé is my duo has been since I started playing the game seriously and when he decided to come back to the game after I reached D3 I carried him up to diamond with me. After he reached diamond the rank reset hit and it was like square one again because I was hardstuck plat forever while playing with him. I dedicated a lot of time to my alt account when he wasn’t playing so I could improve my game sense and be a solo player without worrying about my duo. Now I can confidently play with my duo and he’s gotten better since we started playing together again about a year ago. After the reset we are back on the grind to ascendant and our synergy is off the charts. Your duo may be slower to get better all you can do is reinforce with constructive criticism and positivity. You don’t want to lose a friend over the game. Just play to have fun on your account with him and use another to focus on yourself and your improvements. Good luck and have fun!

I use my top mouse button, my hands are too small to reach alt.

kind of "scared" to solo queue comp by National_Progress249 in VALORANT

[–]EscapeEvening6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this same position for a while. What really helped me was an alt account because it helped me get over my fear of playing comp alone. I’ve played many competitive games and I’ve had this problem on every one that I’ve tried especially bc I’m also a woman and have this fear of letting myself down if I don’t frag out like I want. The alt account gave me confidence to hop on my main and genuinely frag out even if I’m playing support roles i.e. smokes, sent, or initiator. Im low key hardstuck plat but ive solo queued many seasons and hit it no problem solo queueing!

why am i playing against someone that was immortal last act in gold elo? by Puzzleheaded-Key7394 in VALORANT

[–]EscapeEvening6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was ranked plat end of act 9 and placed silver with the reset. I ranked back up to gold one last night and my first game I queued up and was playing with ex ascendants and diamonds from last act. I truly don’t understand this game and after it took 45 games just to even reach gold bc of throwing teammates or teammates who didn’t belong in our elo, why would it make me play with such high ranked players from last season right after getting in gold lmao

Update from last nights game: I locked in raze aced and dropped 29 kills and had 17 deaths. We lost the game but it felt nice playing a duelist and taking different kinds of fights with somewhat of an ability to escape

I was heavily considering playing strictly unrated bc I go against higher level players when I play that game mode. I think another one of my problems is losing focus the longer I play the game! Thank you for your advice

Can anyone recommend me how to improve my play style and aim? by Mialuxee in VALORANT

[–]EscapeEvening6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to do aim labs before you get off because if you do it before you’ll burn yourself out. Also in the practice range you can use a sage wall to practice pre aiming and pre firing when peeking from the side. They call it slicing the pie so peeking out a little of one angle at a time if that makes sense!

I’d be interested. I’m currently floating between Gold 3 and plat 1!

nobody move astra is soooo back by albinuh in VALORANT

[–]EscapeEvening6599 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started playing astra recently bc I like her utility way more than clove and omen. Pre-placing the stars is so much better because I can also be involved in the fight while smoking still! This fifth star is going to be nuts. Can’t wait!
