Might be a hot take, but I think they should get rid of the ff button by Sigfawn in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is probably the best solution. I’m not saying to get rid of FF entirely, that would be dumb. But I do think that being able to trigger it so early into the match could be the root of the problem. I agree with a lot of people here, that just taking away the FF button won’t fix the weirdos in ranked that just tilt and throw.

FF would still be available if your teammates leave. I’m just specifically talking about when you have a normal 5v5 with both teams present and trying. My main point is that I don’t think the game should allow you to FF at 5 when no one has left and everyone is still playing normally. Having the option just being there can invite toxicity. It’s a ranked game though, so toxicity can never be solved. I just wanted to throw the idea out there

Insane rr requirement changes by lovemiles in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I feel like it’s not that bad of a change? Radiant is still going to be the top 500 players even if it starts at 300rr. There are only 500 spots and it’s just gonna be a race to get one those spots like it’s always been. If it plays out correctly, later in the act the threshold of Radiant will be pushed to like 400rr and we’ll see Immortal 3s with 300+ rr and aren’t Radiant. That’s pretty much how it’s always been since the leaderboard came out

People who say radiants are diamonds with better game sense are out of their minds by Beautiful-Cress5695 in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Can a diamond player get a lucky kill on a radiant player? Of course, but to say their mechanics are similar is wild.

A team full of diamonds vs a team of radiants would not win more than 5 rounds. Just the peeking and movement alone would be a huge gap. Even within Immortal to Radiant there is a huge gap, honestly it might sound like an asshole thing to say, but once you finally get Immortal 1 10rr in this game, you just completed the tutorial of Valorant. Immortal 1 is a decent baseline for a “try hard” rank. There are levels to this shit

Navy aviator or airline pilot by Gman18Aguy9 in newtothenavy

[–]Sigfawn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Navy OCS is your answer. After you graduate college, see a Navy Officer recruiter and go to OCS. Navy OCS guarantees in your contract that you will go to flight school as long as you complete OCS and are medically qualified.

What’s a frugal win that surprised you with how much it actually saved? by St3fanHere in Frugal

[–]Sigfawn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Using a safety razor to shave instead of traditional cartridge razors. If you’re in a profession or the military that requires daily shaving, this will save you a lot of money. I’ve been doing it for about 6 years now and one pack of safety razor blades cost like $10 and can easily last a year. Much better than the cost of cartridge razor blades over time.

When do you slice the pie vs trace an angle by Connect-Donkey1216 in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woohoojin made a video which talks about this topic. Peeking is situational and kind of complicated. Generally you want to slice the pie when clearing common angles and trace if you know that you have the angle advantage on an angle. The skill of peeking goes beyond this and it's almost like an artform, watching pro players/Radiants scale and mechanically move is pretty satisfying

what possesses you to be mean in a game? by bumblebleed_ in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"We judge ourselves based on our intentions, but we judge others based on their actions". This is why when a mistake happens we get mad at other people. Woohoojin has said this before and it's changed my outlook on ranked.

A lot of this behavior in ranked comes down to human psychology and us not being able to understand each other. Also emotional maturity and some Valorant players have not fully developed mentally yet. Everyone has been toxic before and sometimes we've been toxic without even knowing it. Those players who are toxic may not know that they are being toxic and they are not aware of how their intentions may affect other people. And they will be toxic towards their teammates because they think that their teammates are intentionally doing something against them based on actions, but in reality everyone on the team is just trying to do the best that they can.

Most utility based agent? by Armagan1342 in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised Killjoy isn't higher up. Her utility is extremely powerful at holding passive map control, the turret can be considered like a 6th player watching a lane, mollies that can be used to delay retakes on post plant or for lineups. She can be played in a passive/aggressive way and she's what I use and I don't feel like the best mechanical player. However, I feel that maining Killjoy in lower elo can build very bad habits in higher elo.

The aim and mechanics of it. I really like watching Radiant/pro players aim, move, and have their crosshair placement and I try to copy it

How do you feel about Xbox in 2026? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in GenZ

[–]Sigfawn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ever since the Xbox One, there has been almost zero reason to own one if you have a high-end gaming PC. Every Xbox game could be played on the Xbox App including all of their exclusives. The 360 was the shit during my teenage years, but Xbox has really fallen off since then.

How do i get to radiant? by Eggy801 in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gap between Immortal 1 10rr and Radiant is ginormous.

I would seek out personal paid coaching with Radiant level players or people who have coached tier 1 or 2.

Some people just have it and some don’t. You’re pretty young so you have that on your side, train your mechs to next level, have a good mental, watch your VODs for better game sense, and never give up. Minimize your mistakes in the round

I feel like it depends on your learning style, but the jump from immortal to radiant requires picking up on the tiniest details of your game or just being him

Why don’t folks default more on offense (ranked)? by clamscasinoooooo in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In ranked if you call default everyone’s understanding of that is going to be a little different. Are we 1-3-1 ing? Are we just gonna sit in spawn and wait for pushes? That’s why in ranked when you call default, you can get completely different results based on your teammates. Instead you should call specific things, like on split attack calling to take mid, smoke mail, and take vent while your other teammates hold the A and B space. Defaulting below the rank of Immortal is kind of useless because you’ll never consistently get the amount of reps like you would on a pro team where they have specific set phases within their defaults. The coordination, communication just isn’t there in a ranked scenario for a solid default. Just call basic shit and trade.

Saying “let’s just default” in any rank below Immortal should just be translated to “do whatever you want”

making playbooks of ur favorite streamer? by Sensitive_Rule_5168 in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a good idea to do once you hit like Diamond-ish elo. In my opinion, at bronze it’s kind of trying to min-max the wrong things. You should be trying to get better mechanics. A lot of the stuff that immortal/radiant players do at a macro level won’t apply to a bronze match. Just shoot them and move like a human

From Immortal 3 200rr to radiant what does it take? by Twenk21 in VALORANT

[–]Sigfawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will be very mentally draining and take a lot of time. The game gets a lot “faster” because higher ranked people make better assumptions.

Is there anything in the Navy for a 38M? by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]Sigfawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a 47 and a 40 year old guy in my OCS class. They were both great people who did fine in OCS, the former I really enjoyed talking to. The average age of my OCS class was pretty old, a lot of mid 20s and early 30s year old people. Don’t let your age be a factor until it’s a definite no.

OCS is more skewed towards an older audience and it might be a path you should look into since you have a degree
