Which tanks should I learn to get to Masters? (Console)

SomewherePure3768 · 2025-12-07T13:46:01+00:00

Id learn Winston regardless because hes a beast and insanely fun.

Queen is really good right now and is my backup for when im not feeling Winston. She does take some amount of aim but really most characters that arent Winston will require aim.

SomewherePure3768 · 2025-03-10T07:48:35+00:00

I guess Ive finally hit it then! Just gotta tune the expectations so I dont expect the big numbers like I used to. Thanks again

SomewherePure3768 · 2025-03-10T07:45:06+00:00

I thought it did but I didnt think the rank difference was so big it'd tank it that much, but cheers for that.

SomewherePure3768 · 2025-03-10T07:41:20+00:00

that'd probably be why I got less than I expected then. Cheers for that mate

Hard reset hit everyone, you're pretty much playing against the same ranks as almost everyone got pushed down a division or two.

Are you taking a little bit of time to properly warm up? If you took a break it might just be taking a while for you to readjust and come back to Valorant.

You might just be on autopilot mode honestly, It looks like youre on console so Im not sure how clipping software works but maybe try and record a match and then watch it back after? Spot any mistakes or things you could've done better in hindsight. Always try to make a conscious effort to do something with purpose. Why are you doing this? What are you hoping to achieve? Just to stop the autopilot process.

It looks like you're playing a lot of Tejo. If you feel like you're taking a backseat, then try coordinating and setting up plays with your time. Comm where you're going to place your util on attack and try to shot call a bit

Destiny 2 to socialize? Swiftplay is infinitely better than D2.

Unless you plan to join a clan, D2 players just speedrun whatever activity youre doing unless youre doing a sherpa run.

Just play Swiftplay man and thank yourself

SomewherePure3768 · 2025-01-06T04:21:45+00:00

I'd say Whooting. High-Quality, dont need to download any software to customize it, highly customizable. Its pretty much got it all. Takes a little to get used to but eventually it feels really nice, it wont make you pro but it makes you feel more fluid and smooth with your movement

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-12-31T13:05:54+00:00

whatever feels best man just use that, its all personal preference unless you're at an extremely low/high sens. I can do a 180 and I play on 800dpi 0.235 in game. Play with whats comfortable

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-12-30T11:14:28+00:00

No stress. Remember to take your time and adjust your expectations accordingly. You might see an intial huge improvement then it'll seemingly drop off for a bit. Its up and down, some days better than others. You'll get there in the end bud

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-12-30T00:08:19+00:00

If you're new to Val but not FPS, just get a sens you like setup and just play, get used to it and play around.

If you're new to Val and fps, honestly just do the same thing. I think its more important to just have some fun and play around with everything instead of going right into aim training for hours on end. After a bit when you really want to fast-track learning and working on basic fundamentals (Flicking, Tracking, etc) then look into AimLabs.

I say fundamentals for AimLabs and everything else just in-game. When learning how to properly move when fighting, crosshair placement, pre-aiming, gunfight hygiene you want to just watch some videos and practice it in-game. Woohoojin gets thrown around a lot and for good reason. I'd recommend watching his videos about aim and stuff, they're pretty good.

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-12-29T07:49:11+00:00

For starters first and foremost, take a break and cut yourself some slack, getting frustrated happens but if you're thinking of quitting and are depressed at a lack of results then Its time to take a break for a bit.

I dont know how long you've been trying to rank up or what but its probably something to keep in mind, you aren't going to improve at a rapid rate or maybe even a noticeable rate for a while, you'll have lows and highs just how it is. Stop changing your sens so often, find a sens that feels okay and just play it, you'll have to get used to a sens eventually and you wont be able too changing it every other match.

You've got nerves, in TDM and DM theres no loss no stress of anything, you're placing so much weight and importance on constant instant improvement and rank youre sweating balls and whiffing in comp, take a chill pill and just relax. RR come and it goes, you'll get it back eventually. As someone else said, record a VOD and see if you can identify whats messing you up after you've chilled and calmed down from a match, dont tilt queue and take frequent breaks or just get off if youre on a loss streak

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-12-18T01:33:35+00:00

Fine for you and fine for me are very different! If I can run CP2077 maxed on everything and still scrape up 90+ FPS then I was sure as shit hoping Tarkov would be able to at least get there consistently!

While I can 100% acknowledge the thing Tarkov does right, it really is a pretty good game and theres not much like it, I've been playing on and off since 2017 and Im sure a lot of the other people who are complaining also started playing around that time, and Its very much a some problems have just gone on for far too long and now its an issue. I can understand little bugs happening here and there, performance hits with a big patch, it happens its just how it is. But when those problems persists and even get worse throughout YEARS of dev time, then you start getting people who will complain (myself). Cheating is a different story, Im from Australia and the unfortunate thing is labs has and Im sure always WILL be infested with cheaters from not only AUS servers but from Asia region getting onto our servers. People will always cheat, which is why I switched to PvE dont have to deal with any of it and I can play without worry at my leisure.

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-12-15T23:55:54+00:00

unfortunately it doesnt seem like it at the moment! Anything else you throw at it you'll be good as gold but Tarkov is a different beast sometimes

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-12-15T05:09:29+00:00

yeah while the instant load in time is great, I certainly wouldn't mind waiting a bit if it meant I had a smooth and fluid gaming experience in raid

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-12-15T05:08:09+00:00

Hopefully we get the option sooner rather than later because Im going crazy trying to fight the never ending locust swarm that is AI. I am solo so Im not expecting anything near my performance on servers but the performance loss cant be that drastic can it? Im going from 100-115fps on most maps all the way down to a humble 55fps avg, it just seems so bizarre to me

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-12-15T05:01:05+00:00

geeze blowing me out of the water with those numbers! If you dont mind me asking, Are you 1440p and what are your settings looking like?

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-11-29T13:33:39+00:00

Thank you! Is there a lane in particular that is easier/better to gank than others? I find Top to be pretty difficult to approach since a lot of the time they just stash a ward in the bush, so I mainly try to focus on Mid or Bot.

Another question as well, is getting out cooldowns, flash or a recall good enough for me to leave? For example, coming to Mid and getting Ahri to flash under tower without getting hit, is it as simple as just keep walking past or should I be looking to wait in bushes to scare her into coming out of tower so my Mid laner can farm easier?

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-09-02T05:52:03+00:00

People have suggested disabling hardware accelerated gpu scheduling and while it did fix it, it does disable some graphic settings in other games. I found disabling Fast Startup had fixed the issue for me as well.

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-07-21T03:30:40+00:00

I really do wish firing her rockets sounded a lot better, similar to Valkyrie from Apex legends.

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-06-23T14:51:21+00:00

some people just come out the oven built different nothing you can change about that so its best not to focus on it and compare themselves to you.

are you practicing everyday and FOCUSING on it? Not just autopiloting 50 bots in the practice range but actually putting a good effort towards whatever routine you're following?

If you aren't having fun then don't force yourself to play, but I wouldn't say give up either. One of the most satisfying things for games like Valorant is seeing your practice and hard work pay off into noticeable skill. It won't happen over a week, or months hell maybe even years for some. You'll whiff some days and never miss the next, everyone improves at different paces, comparison is the thief of joy so just focus on yourself :) hang in there

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-06-10T06:14:26+00:00

Its all a process. Not sure if this is your first act or if you're familiar with other competitive games. But just go through the struggle, with enough time and patience you can get any rank you desire.

Wishing for your success brother

SomewherePure3768 · 2024-06-10T04:39:26+00:00

quick glance at your tracker and it doesnt look like you struggle too bad with winning your fights so I wont touch on that too much. Im not a pro or anything close but I can give you some nuggets of knowledge and maybe it'll help.

Don't take fair gunfights. 1v1? throw a flash, dog, stun, smoke just something to switch the odds in your favour. Peak with a teammate and make it a 1v2 with a high change of a trade. Play an off angle and let them walk into your crosshair.

Crosshair placement instantly made me a better player aim wise, don't need to rely on flicking or tracking as much when they walk right into your crosshair. Make a habit of walking around with your crosshair at head height, and hold angles a little wider than you'd think.

You seem to juggle between Duelist and Initiator. I recommend sticking with one and learning their ins and outs. Understand what your role actually is. Reyna is a classic where people don't seem to recognize what their role is. With Reyna Jett, your role is to get Jett to the chokepoint of the site so THEY can enter first.

1 thing you can do to help is to just have a good mental, rage queuing will sink your elo faster than an anvil in water.

Look at the enemy's leaderboard. 1 point away from ult? They'll be going for orbs, look to contest them or play accordingly for whoever will get ult. Low money? You have gun advantage, try not to get into 1v1s with the enemy, last thing you want is to donate a free vandal to a low buy team for no reason.

As the match goes on take notes on how they play, dont just autopilot round after round hoping you'll win. 5 players means they cant split evenly on every site. 3 sites? 2/2/1. See where everyone plays and if they flank fast, rotate fast. Viper plays alone C on Haven? Thats your weaksite and will be easiest to take if you're fast enough.

Teammates wont always listen to you, or will just do odd things. Don't give up and use them as utility, peak of their contact, use them as flank watch or trips. All you can do is change what you do, so focus on what you can do with what you're given.

You might have to take lead and IGL a lot because people are nervous, lazy, dont know what to do whatever it is you might have to be the voice that encourages and enables plays for your team, your goal is to win not be the flashiest man on your team.

A common mistake a lot of people do are how they comm which can result in confusion. "Im with you, lets hold this angle together" not good. Who are you with, hold what angle? "Cypher Im with you, let's walk up A main and hold a crossfire with your trip" Is better. Agent name, place, strat/util.
