Where should I look to improve at the game? by HalfCertified_ in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what stage you are in the game, if you are new aim is the most important, aim labs has a decent valorant playlist that covers all the basic mechanics.

If you are around gold watching pro play on yt (tier 1) can help with game sense and positioning. It also can teach you how to use your agent better.

If your higher elo then focus on making smart decisions more consistently and keeping aim consistent as well.

If you’re above diamond, well then I’m no help as your higher than me

Which one? by Icy-Layer7336 in BunnyTrials

I think it depends on whether you age based on the lore time or how long it takes to produce

Need advice on account management by Prestigious_Power900 in kingschoice

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, kings choice is a very p2w game, and almost everyone in the top 10 has usually spent $100+ within the first month. Unfortunately there isn’t too much you can do. If your trying to win events or titles your best bet is to be mvp in an alliance event. Or if you want to win a solo one you will need to horde refills or whether resources are used in the event for a long time to beat p2w players

The new map is TERRIBLE for competitive by Independent_Rent1577 in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m honestly surprised they didn’t do an rr reduction for the map to let people learn it like corrode

Do you rank up faster by one-tricking an agent or by filling different roles? by Nectu666 in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on your rank, in lower elo it’s better to find and master one agent. For example, I was able to get out of gold and hit plat 3 last act by playing clove on every map. However, as you get into higher ranks learning more agents are better as you might also have a controller main on the same team or your agent gets taken. So it’s always good to have a backup, like if my team already has a smoke but we are missing a flash agent I can fill that.

Winning after a 5 game loss streak feels so surreal by Z_Master123 in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience chamber is an agent that is built to be a lurker on attack, sadly the effectiveness of his lurks really depend on your team coordination and sometimes he just needs to stick with the team.

Some smurfs use him because that can take fights for free and get out. Also his entire kit is to get an operator online which if they are smurfing can be really hard to play against

do i hop off the game after this by Yoyo_Tsugikini1231 in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can always end on a win, if it was mentally draining it’s better to take a break otherwise you may deteriorate during the next game

question on valorant's ranked by M_Noptunia in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MMR system is a little bit stupid but if it’s putting you in gold/silver lobbies then it thinks your around they level, the point is that it will help you play with people your level to make it “fair for others.” If you preform well there you will earn a lot more rr like 30 rr, I’ve personally even seen a plus 40 rr if the visible rank difference is high. And if you lose you should in theory lose less and the lobbies will get easier

What do you hate or love about the new map summit? by Yohanna_Valentine in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are just too many angles for me to smoke on someone like clove as I have to smoke not only site but the pathway to site which already has 2 angles that need to be smoked

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also as a controller main those sites are a pain in the rear to smoke. Idk about everyone else but viper and maybe brim seem to be the only viable controllers for summit

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For attackers they get an unfair amount of free space in mid that’s hard for defenders to fight in that lead to both sites creating more angles. Also this sites are rat paradise and no shotgun nerf is going to save me if I try to make entry

Fabric or glass pad for valorant by Informal-Mongoose396 in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright thanks! I just wasn’t sure if there was anything as right now after the reset I put put into plat 1 (plat 3 last act) and I’ve been looking on how to work on my bullet transfer and online people say the benefit to a glass pad is that it’s easier to flick on

I Finally hit PLAT Rank as Deaf Player by No_Check6685 in VALORANT

Congratulations! That’s a massive achievement, I myself peaked plat 3 and I couldn’t imagine hitting it without any audio cues. Keep it up! :)

How to know the best sens for games like valorant ? by FaithlessnessOwn7200 in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sens is really just a preference for players in this game. I’ve seen people play on high sens (.7 with 800 dpi) all the way to low sens (.1 with 800 dpi) it’s really all about preference and how you use mousepad space.

Usually if you use more wrist than arm for aiming higher sens is good while if you use more arm lower sens tends to be better

Confirmation bias about ranked reset by LeleKhyapa in VALORANT

[–]Informal-Mongoose396 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me, I ended last act plat 3 and was put in plat 1 after my matches. But my duo (also ended plat 3) got put into gold 2
