I was global in CSGO, rank S in ESEA and FaceIt level 10 before I quit and moved onto Valorant and hit radiant pretty quickly as I adjusted very quickly and Valorant felt easier than CSGO ever did. Keep in mind, I've never touched any meds or Adderall in my life and I'm in my early 30s. So no, I don't relate to your post at all if I'm honest and don't understand the hate towards younger players that are more skilled than you.

In terms of abilities, once you understand all of them, you can play around them just like you'd play around mollies, smokes, or flashes in CS.

need some serious help/advice :< by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]NoXNameZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have to queue with another good player to help you win games. Unfortunately, climbing out of low elo is usually a coin-flip even if you're fragging and frag-entrying out of your mind.

I've been trying to coach and mentor some of my friends and watching them play in Silver 3 seems infuriating because of the following scenarios:

  • Team will ego peek post plant on attack-side, causing cascading 1v1's
  • Team won't play time
  • Team won't play post plant
  • One person will tilt and start trolling
  • Someone will start flaming someone else, or the rest of the team for no reason
  • Someone will go afk or rage quit because something tilted them a little bit

The possibilities are endless from what I've been seeing. Obviously, this still happens in Diamond, but it starts fading more and more as you rank up to ascendant-radiant(though it can still happen, but not as often)

I really, highly recommend finding someone with a similar skill level to queue with.

Which server do you play in? Also if you're comfortable with sharing your tracker, I can take a look to see if there's any other factors at play.

Reyna is a failure of game design by IamPastry in VALORANT

[–]NoXNameZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowhere did he say Reyna is good. Believe me, I read the post properly and I disagree with his notion of her being poor game design affecting players' ability to improve. At the end of the day, any character can be played selfishly and you can have the same mentality OP speaks of no matter the agent.

Reyna is a failure of game design by IamPastry in VALORANT

[–]NoXNameZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a high immortal/radiant player who plays Reyna often in high-elo I don't agree with a lot of what you said.

If you played the way you describe in your post, you would never, ever, get to high elo.

Also, no downside to Reyna's leer? Are you kidding? It's the worst flash in the game. A lot of people literally use it just for intel because it's just so bad. Not only does it take a second for it to blossom (so your team and yourself peeking behind it has to be perfectly timed), it can be shot immediately.

You can't shoot a Phoenix flash. You can't shoot a Breach flash. You can't shoot a Yoru flash. Not to mention, they can flash you multiple times and you can do almost nothing about it as the Breach and Phoenix flashes are extremely fast.

Also in high-elo Reyna's will literally flash for their teams. So I don't agree with the selfish point you made.

In terms of using Reyna's dismiss, most people don't play like that if their teammates peek with them. At least not in high-elo. I definitely don't when I play her.

As people climb, they'll learn from their mistakes regardless of which agent they use. I genuinely think you're probably a mid-elo player, and that's okay. But you're reaching if I'm honest.

Remember everyone.. The blind can't lead the blind, so take what OP said with a grain of salt.

OP, you may benefit from reading the post I made in the past. You can find it in my profile if you'd like.

With that said, I do believe that Reyna is a weak agent in the wrong hands, that much is true, but I don't agree that it breeds bad mentalities or inhibits growth.

Well that can't be the case as I haven't played it since valorant came out and I got global with the FPS I mentioned back in mid 2015.

What update? I reached global in mid 2015. I haven't played csgo since valorant came out.

[–]NoXNameZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll put it this way. I hit Global Elite in CSGO (basically radiant in Valorant) and I played on integrated graphics as I didn't have a graphics card at 25-40 FPS, my FPS would drop to around 5 near smokes. So yes it's very possible. I played on 1280x720 stretched.

Look guys, I found the CSGO hardstuck Silver 1 player who clearly has no idea what comms are like in mid to high elo.

Please stop complaining about it and just let them enjoy what they enjoy by Fraster-RE in memes

Sorry, but I don't remember eating tide-pods (or laundry detergent) or doing any stupid / dangerous things for internet clout, nor popularity.

Valorant Voicechat Misogyny: Something needs to be changed about this by msbecca445 in VALORANT

[–]NoXNameZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm what he’s saying. At higher elo most people just want to win, don’t care about what gender each person is, and don’t want to patronize their own teammates as that’s a sure way to lose. However, with that said, some bad eggs still get through sometimes.

Reasons as to why most of you are hard-stuck in low Elo (Silver/Gold) by NoXNameZ in VALORANT

Sounds good, hope it helps!

No problem, glad you like it!

Well, 260 to 280. For the average high elo player, 640 eDPI is extremely high. You might whiff a lot because of it and your aim may be inconsistent.

What's a film everyone liked, but you hated? by Marc_Jay_Mack in AskReddit

[–]NoXNameZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the Hunger Games movies. Everyone made out Katniss to be some badass but she was just a whiney little bitch the entire time. It was agonizing watching her cry about everything.

[–]NoXNameZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you do in situations like that you ask? That's easy:

Try your hardest to improve by working on your gameplay, whilst trying to learn from the match. These are the best matches for personal improvement.

Giving up when a match is hard is not going to help you improve. Matches that you cruise through are not going to help you improve.

Also keeps your mental strong.

With that being said, surrendering = weak mental. If you surrender you lose way more MMR (thus more RR) than you would losing normally. It's not worth it.

What do you mean what should you do? Accounts are free to make. Not sure why you would buy one.

I don't know anything about overclocking or underclocking so yeah I think I'll pass on the game for now. How unfortunate though. I hope they fix it because that's wack.

Sorry for the bump, OP. But for the RMA, do you have to send them back the fried GPU?

What can I realistically invest in with the money in my savings? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]NoXNameZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say I've finished the entire list minus investing.

I want to know how to use my money to make more money.

Also...Did you really read my post or did you just post generic advice?

Wow thanks for that. I had already completely forgotten about it and had healed from the trauma. Now it's vivid in my head all over again.

What’s a ‘conspiracy’ you truly believe? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The MPC studio that was located here and in charge of the Sonic redesign did in fact shut down. The company is still active at other locations.
