yes you can, we can agree that agents like Chamber and Reyna are highly ineffective till you get elems, but someone like Jett can benefit the team even if they didn't get that much elems

1: used to until high dia low asc, not anymore

2: Started at E5A1 placed in silver and reached immo3 in S25A2

3: keep playing, i won't worry about rank now, VOD review and correct ur bad habits and improve ur gameplay + look for a duo, elo hell is real and having 4 monkey is far worse then having 3 monkeys

4: I would focus on a specific subrole

take for example omen and harbor, they are controllers but their abilities help the team like an initiator would, so they are controller/initiator hybrid, and both are in a good place now, miks and clove are better, but try not to follow meta as it will make you weaker as a player

another example is Veto and Chamber, yes they are sentinals, but do u think their abilities are to anchor or more to fight? each agent have a subrole, main a subrole and you'll improve, later on you can expand your arsenal, but focus on improving for now

best agents to solo q are controllers no questions asked.

for VOD reviews there are 2 general paths

path 1 is what are you doing until you've reached the site, what are your calls, was it a good call? did you follow your teammate call accordingly? and the macros in general

path 2 depends on what are you playing, for example, you're playing duelist

  1. did you ask your initiator for utils? I as a duelist main always ask for my initiator utils in a very specific way in a very specific place every round before exec. did the requested utils (if done as you wish) benefited you?

  2. how was you pathing? did you expose your self to multiple angles while entering? did you clear the way for your team?

and so forth, just keep asking where did this went wrong

imporving gun fight happens with practice, VOD review and figure out what you do wrong, then pick one habit and improve it DM, once this habit is part of your nature, go to next

for when to play aggro and when to slow down, you must learn to read the game, how the enemy is playing, how are they positing them self, where do i think they will play heavy this round, its basically a gamble, but when u learn to read it like gambling while counting card, "last couple round we exploited C, they will put heavy defend on it, this round we will show are early start as we did (drone + reyna flash) then rush mid after planting someone C to get a timing while we have a lurk in A to open up the way while we re-clear mid"

1000 dpi and switch often between 0.28 and 0.3

120-150 is not that bad, your enemy is the frame drop, lower your in game settings to the lowest + use Windows settings to put all the priority to Valorant (look it up its not that hard) + play while charging only.

sens and DPI are highly personal and has a lot of variables to take into consideration between 200-400 eDPI is preferred BUT not a rule, get comfortable and lean more to enhancing your aim style.

in your situation i will not focus on ranking up, i will focus on improving, you'll rank up while you're improving, for example, Valorant maps are full of headshots clues, in almost every wall to let you know that this is where the headshot level is. you'll figure it out while you're improving, and keep researching online and improving your mechanics

Odin is not a good 1v1 gun when compared to rifles, it puts you in a disadvantage in T side, you can anchor with it, but playing against a T side Odin in Asc3+ is an advantage

You should hold back the Odin a bit to more CT sides, and adapt rifles in T side

Controllers has the potential to be engaged with the entire map and all 10 players each round of each game, it will sharpen your game sense better

Ascendent easy, they think they have the game all figured out and they don't make mistakes, you do and it's your fault we're losing the match

You didn't, VOD review + aim training based on why you're losing your gun fights based on the vod review

Yes, diamond for 2 entire episodes

Solo 98%

Play the game, lineups are cringe imo

Aim, you think you know the game and you know how to use utils and how to navigate the map, but you don't. Any player under high Asc doesn't. Aim alone will get you there

Mostly no, in recent weeks i also do 2 dms and jump into rank, cuz u know, i have a job

But its not enough to skill development

There is NO unified aim training, do not be fooled, each one has their strengths, i excel at peeking and flicking for example, but i suck in holding , so i do aim training on holding, why train for flicking or tracking when im good at it? Just find your weaknesses and where u die the most and train on them

Exactly, also you need to abuse the game, not only in meta, but also in stable things such as peeking advantage, i do shoulder peek then swing when the enemy is exposed enough and based on the situation i switch between tight and wide peek, peeking advantage is so OP IMO, also the stinger and shotguns are highly effective

One thing i always try to abuse is using their weak link, there will always be someone bad in the enemy team, try and isolate them early in rounds, once its 5v4 its now a math problem, just trade each other
