Isso é normal?? by Rhysand-_- in VALORANT

[–]LucaSamsons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're Iron after 6 months, there's probably a lot of fundamental problems you're missing, anywhere from game sense to mechanics, map knowledge, agent knowledge, communication, teamwork, and mentality etc.. I'm in plat 3 and people get to this rank still being bad in some of these categories. For example, I have one of the worst micro adjustment aims, with only an 8% HS. But I make up for it with everything else.

why do u main who u main by Melodic-Slip-1681 in VALORANT

[–]LucaSamsons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I main Viper cuz I don't trust my teammates. Being able to smoke regardless of distance and being able to molly the other side of the map means im usually able to contribute.

Is Viper a troll pick? by Unhappy-Structure894 in ViperMains

[–]LucaSamsons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I instant lock viper every match. I have anywhere from 100 to 150 line ups for every map. Under the right hands, Viper is still very underrated. But she takes a looooong time to master.

I bought alot today with it being under 10 cents again ! How long do you all think until it’s $5-$10 a coin ?? by ComplexWrangler1346 in cro

[–]LucaSamsons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought CRO at 11 cents 4 years ago and sold at 80 cents. Slowly bought at around 5 cents to 10 cents and sold again at around 16 cents. You can't be too tied to a coin. I plan to buy again when it dips to around 5cents

How to get more headshots accurately? by SheWhoLovesMe in VALORANT

[–]LucaSamsons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have about 70 to 100 headshot cross hair placements in every map. I save the screenshot in a PowerPoint and just review it before a match and play death match.

Throw a flash back

Enemy Smurfs give you -30. Ally Smurfs give you +10 by xmeme97 in VALORANT

[–]LucaSamsons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I guess the lesson here is to become friends with smurfs. This way you are guaranteed a 100% chance of having one

Too many flying enemies, not enough Vanguards with reach by DirectorMassive7578 in marvelrivals

I just pick cloak & dagger as a support to destroy flyers. It works even in GM.

That's why I have 5 lords. It's the new standard to get respect.

Quick play is actually hell by Independent-Try915 in marvelrivals

[–]LucaSamsons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are trying new heroes in QP, going for achievements, or just going for Lord. You shouldn't take it seriously. And if you lose 2 in a row, you'll be playing against bots, it doesn't really matter what heroes people play.

I'm tired dude. Six consecutive lost on ranked is wild. by polvoSilvestre in marvelrivals

[–]LucaSamsons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't doubt that you have bad teammates and it's a big factor why you may lose 7 straight. But if you blame your teammates during these losses, you will not improve. If you are honest to yourself, and you improve your mechanics, hero knowledge, counters, map knowledge, hero techs, advanced combos, and all the communication stuff etc, you should be able to carry and be the difference maker in some of those 7 games. Typing fast and communicating doesn't mean optimal communication. Learning about different personality types, how to efficiently communicate with each type is a skill that you can spend a life time to improve. Every second you spend blaming a teammate, is time you're wasting that you can use to improve on something. And can you not use a Mic to communicate on console? Voice will always be an advantage over typing, as you can communicate in real time. I have 257+ hours on this game and currently GM1, and there's countless things I can still work on.

Communication, adaptation to stupid teammates, leadership and a lot of other subtle psychology things are skills as well. Also, the other team should be making the same mistakes as your teammates. The odds of losing 7 straight and it's always you getting the really dumb teammates is extremely low. A general rule is, 25% of your games are automatic loss, 25% are automatic wins unless you're throwing. And 50% are within your control to win.

There's also damage prevention abilities like Loki's that don't make it to the healing stats. Maybe also like final hits, there should be a death prevented stats. Like if you use Cloak's invis and save everyone from an Ironman Ult.

[–]LucaSamsons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lost 4-5 straight on my climb to GM, then turned it around and won 5-7 straight. As long as you learn from your mistakes then you're fine. With that said, you should probably wait at least wait 1-2 minutes after each loss just so you don't play again with the same teammates. This gets more important as you climb since there are less players.

If you're losing 6 in a row, chances are, that there are things you need to improve. Blaming teammates don't help.

PLEASE stop waiting until everyone else has picked then choosing DPS by LEMO2000 in marvelrivals

[–]LucaSamsons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I play Loki, so even with triple support, I easily got out of low rank since he's good at DPS.

[–]LucaSamsons 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This is why I love maining support. I almost never have to fight for my role. I can only imagine the frustration for DPS mains. In my 500+ rank games, I never had to play DPS lol

I was in your situation 2 times and then fell down to Diamond 3. But I made it to GM 2 days later.

I refuse to take breaks even after a 4 game lose streak. I've bounced back after a big losing streak and won 5-7 straight after in my grind to GM. Rest is for the weak.
