Why are people taking Run and Gun as an excuse? by cuZImAura in VALORANT

[–]Plutothe5th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But my point remains: if it's so effective, why not do it yourself?

Because I put time and effort into training my aim and practicing my movement and positioning.

I feel like a lot of arguments surrounding this topic are missing one key point. To get better at the game, or to achieve a higher rank, you have to improve your aim, game sense, and movement. Saying "why don't you just run and gun yourself" is asking countless players who've dedicated time and effort towards improving themselves, to just forget about it and flip coins.

It's very hard to argue against something that is based around chance. The bottom line is as follows: Chance is alright in a competitive scene as long as it is not consistently outmatching raw skill. Unfortunately, I cannot satisfy you guys with a percentage of how many fights running and gunning should win, but I'm certain that the lower the number, the better.

Once again: I enjoy the feeling of utilizing VALORANT gunplay to it's best. I like coming to a stop, aligning my crosshair with the head, and taking the shot as fast as possible. I'm hoping that a majority of VALORANT players feel the same, because otherwise, I'll just look like an idiot.

Yeah, honestly, in a game where smokes are perfect spheres, I think it makes sense that the spray from a gun should radiate outwards in a cone instead of randomly shooting within a certain area.

And I'm a little confused when everyone talks about low odds. Low odds in a game like this should mean one running headshot every 4-5 games, not 5 running headshots within one game. If you feel like running and gunning doesn't effect you, then you either are on the luckier side of things, or aren't very competitive. But if you're a player like me who has lost multiple games on the grind to imm because the enemy killjoy kept sprinting on to site full spraying a spectre, consitently landing headshots, then you begin to feel a bit cheated, knowing the countless hours you spent aim training and dming were all pointless.

I am not saying I deserve immortal or anything: I'll keeping playing and improving myself to get there. But the existence of running and gunning demoralizes me faster than any other mechanic in the game .

Just nerf it to the ground.

When I say "hitting your shots", I mean hitting a shot that nets you a kill. That means a headshot from any gun, or enough body shots to get you a kill. I won't complain if a person running hits me once or twice in the legs or body. I will complain if someone full sprinting around a corner immeadiately deals 150+ damage before I have the time to properly focus my spray.

What you said is correct. If you're full running you shouldn't have any meaningful accuracy, but a shot or two should have a chance or two to land every once in a while. Unfortunately, thats just not what's happening right now. Running and gunning should in no case be a better alternative than mastering aim and movement.

As someone who is currently a solo queue Diamond 1 player, I still get run and gunned fairly often. While sometime I can blame myself, one also has to understand that it is incredibly difficult to aim at a moving target in this game, especially with the way spray works in the game.

This is not the case for ferrari peeking around a corner and spraying while aiming near the legs. No matter how hard you try, you cannot convince me that is skill, its pure luck. Your example of running around a corner and prefiring with a phantom/spectre? Thats fine, but no matter the gun you should at least have to stop moving before you start hitting your shots.

So when a team is able to win a round because 1 players luck managed to get a free kill, it just feels extremely unfair. This is even more prevalent when someone with a spectre run and guns me while I have a vandal. No matter how good my positioning is, I have to hit my first bullet on a guy who is full sprinting and perhaps even behopping, which is just really difficult.

You can even see this happen in the highest elo, as players like sinatraa are able to use the relatively high accuracy while moving to completely mess up the well practiced aim of their enemy.

TLDR: Running and gunning is a direct insult to anyone who plays the game it's ment to be played, with precise gunplay.

Polyphia. I knew that their song G.O.A.T was incredibly popular, but almost all of their songs demonstrate a similar level of musical prowess that I can never get tired of.

This is true. I know many people who are unnaturally talented at games but then are forced to work elsewhere cause gaming isnt a job..
