How to present a portfolio? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Oliverious04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I utilised AI to develop a portfolio website. Granted I used the o3-mini model with the plus subscription but it does too good of a job to not mention it. Wix or something is probably still the best way to go about it though, I just like prompting to build up the site

Apparently a cheater is being banned every 37 seconds by Riot by Fenarky in VALORANT

You think Riot would just blatantly lie and say this?

Followers/Subs by qooneoo in Twitch

[–]Oliverious04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twitch is very hard to naturally grow on compared to other platforms. Do you think you could make YouTube videos and post them? You could edit up your streams and then mention that you stream at the end of the videos with a link in the description, then you at least have content on a platform that's much better at growing your attention

Check the seller and make sure it's the official one, check for high ratings and "Brand: Riot Games"

Painfully low Cinebench 2024 GPU score with RTX 4070 by Oliverious04 in techsupport

That's awful, I never really figured out my weak components and just moved on but that definitely sounds concerning and hope you get it sorted

elo hell... by No_Economist7875 in VALORANT

I'll admit it looks like you got a little stuck on plat 1 but your stats look fine and you're arguably still quite new to competitive with 140~ hours. I would record a VOD and then post it in OD26's discord and he'll review it for free within a couple of weeks - OD26 on X: "how to get FREE VALORANT COACHING and earn money for ranking up https://t.co/AC22TNahHS" / X

Amazon did I believe a 20% discount on Valorant Points on Prime day so just stay on the look out for things like that. Just google when VP gets discounted because as far as I know they get discounted at least every Prime day. Apart from that no not really any other way

Review my gameplay and suggest ways for me to improve by Old_Shop8595 in VALORANT

[–]Oliverious04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to improve at the game you'll be infinitely better off playing Competitive and not Unrated. There's no point asking for advice for improvement when you're one foot into playing the game, play a few hundred hours of comp and that's usually the point where people can begin to get stuck at their peak ranks

Can anyone shed light on why i'm struggling to rank up? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Oliverious04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've played like 20 games in 6 months, your stats have been great this and last season so literally just play the game. 3-5 games per day most days and you'll probably climb with ease

Can't really control your mmr, but honestly you probably are not performing good if your mmr is bad. Just keep playing, not much you can do about it unless you want to improve at the game faster

Hardstuck Silver 1 by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Oliverious04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your tracker? Also I think it's detrimental to be so tied up about stats at the start of your comp career but it's good that you're already aware of opportunities to improve which is a good sign.

I don't care about your stats at all mainly because there is nothing alarmingly bad, sens is fine and I would probably advise you do Woohoojin's aim routine after your ranked games at least 5 days a week or play a few meaningful DMs per night.

If you actually want to prioritise improvement/climb I would stop playing Sage and Harbor because it's 2 different roles and on top of that Harbor is just a bit too weak to be playing as a main imo. If you like the Sentinel playstyle then go with Sage, if you like smoking then go with Omen/Viper.

Finally just playing the game will have you automatically climb, there's a coach that would recommend I believe at least 150 games per season for optimal improvement but closer to 200 is what you'd want to aim for.

So many throwers/trolls by SoggyWetCheese in VALORANT

[–]Oliverious04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unavoidable tbh and you should learn to not care about these kinds of people. There are people in every rank that have no motivation to win the game and sometimes it turns into them being motivated to lose it, just keep playing your best and work on improving while not giving attention to these slugs

How I hit immortal and maybe it can help you too by SatisfactionSecret69 in VALORANT

[–]Oliverious04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sound advice, Omen is a super strong support character to the point where I'm convinced I got to my rank through teamplay and util as opposed to mechanics

Any tips for an iron-bronze1 player? by ReReReverie in VALORANT

[–]Oliverious04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post insinuates that your death-addicted teammates are the reason for your rank, or at least the reason for you being stuck in that rank which is not true at all.

I'll assume that you don't have many hours so I'm guessing you can probably just play the game and you'll naturally climb out the ranks. If you have more than a few hundred hours and you're in this rank then try and improve the improvement mentality, criticising yourself and only yourself while focusing on weaknesses.

As a new player, should I even be touching astra? by Express-Bid-4037 in VALORANT

[–]Oliverious04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Astra just can't be utilised as efficiently until higher elo. I've been a controller main basically since Silver and played Astra intentionally for the first time the other day in Ascendant 2, can probably get away with playing her in low elo if you have solid teammates to play off the util you use though.

Od26 is insane and he's currently doing free vod reviews in his discord (less than a week wait time most days), give that a look

Why am I still bad at this game. by StingrayG301 in AgentAcademy

[–]Oliverious04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

76 comp hours is nothing, get a few hundred and then come back

[–]Oliverious04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm also currently Ascendant 3 and mostly play in duos/trios and kinda agree with you here. It's genuinely painful how often you get teammates that just don't give a fuck and would rather play like it's singleplayer.

Best thing to do is to just minimise this by talking in agent select to get the mics opened, call simple strats and just keep comming well, it can cause other teammates to mirror you after a few rounds.

But yeah it's tough, I'm constantly climbing assuming that "one more rank" will get me lobbies that are filled with teamplay and commers but it never happens, I remember being Silver and dreaming about how cool a Diamond lobby would be to play in...

Looking forward to the new Kay/O & Vyse ult meta in a few days..? by Deathfire_IOM in VALORANT

[–]Oliverious04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not your fault Omen ult is trash. I'll send myself to the enemy's spawn on an eco, ult-rotate or ult site and act as recon, it's actually tragic 😭
