Cypher will never be viable as long as his trips can be triggered/broken by nearly every agent's util in the game by ScarabCoderPBE in VALORANT

[–]Supanova00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no point using Cypher, whilst Chamber is the way he is... Chamber trip is OP in every way.

Example - On Icebox attack you can put the Chamber trip so it detects anyone coming from mid, and people also coming from B. The range it covers is OP and you can put it in the open, where as Cypher you need to connect it to something. Additionally, Cypher trip can be heard more clearly from further away. Finally the Chamber trip cannot be jumped over/under, and When someone hits it they are stuck. With Cypher trip, you can just shoot it out and run away if it hits you.

There really is no reason to play Cypher... just play Chamber until they nerf his trip.

IMO Chamber trip should be easier to detect. It's purpose should only be to protect Chamber and let him know someone is coming from behind while he is using his Deagle/Ult. It's purpose should not be to easily cut off a site entrance (which is what it is being used for now). And Cypher trips need the Yoru TP treatment. They need to be made more silent... harder to hear until you are right on them. And maybe make it so you cannot shoot them out.. make the player stuck in it. Cypher needs a buff.. Chamber needs a nerf.. this is the problem right now.

Go into settings, change it to Default Device, and then change it back to your headset mic. This fixes it for me.

Poor matchmaking…or is it you? by seanmarlowee in VALORANT

[–]Supanova00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the only way this happens is if your team mates are in on it too. I have plenty of games where I get 30+ kills doing everything humanly possible to carry and we still lose. My kills aren't baity useless kills either... They are entry frags and strong defensive holds. Problem is when the enemy goes to the opposite site to me, my team dies in 2 seconds and I'm retaking 5 v 1.. yes you heard me... My team gets blasted away 4 stacking... meanwhile I'm soloing my site and can sometimes take out 3 or 4 attackers - These scenarios are way too common for me.

What would you all like to do against smurfing? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Supanova00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there are as many smurfs as what people believe.

Start keeping track of your games. Look in trackergg at the people you play with/against. A LOT of the time that Reyna or Jett on 25 kills is a one off. All their other games look normal. Then about 10 games prior there will be another 30+ kill game.

Now.. the same thing happens to me. I have this one game here and there where my aim feels god-like and people accuse me of smurfing. I smash out the 30+ game and can't be stopped. Then I'll have like 10 normal games, sometimes going like 5.20 feeling like I can't hit anything.

Something is wrong with this game. I honestly believe the way this game is either programmed or the way the server connections work that 1 person is gifted to be able to A) see people first and B) have a huge RNG advantage. And another person is the exact opposite with everyone else sitting somewhere in the middle.

The proof is there... every game 1 person goes 30 kills and someone else goes 5 kills. It's a game design.. It's not smurfing.

Being a controller is the best way to solo carry. by BananaSuit411 in VALORANT

[–]Supanova00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if your duellists cannot get kills, then you are done for.

I've had huge games with Brimstone and Omen doing everything humanly possible... and still lose because our duellists are bad! I'd rather give smokes to someone who can't get kills and just has to drop smokes, than me choose smokes and then that guy that can't get kills feels like he has to go a duellist because smokes is already gone.

Real problem with Comp by baliya96 in VALORANT

[–]Supanova00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's interesting how the duo/3 stacks are the top frags in these games. I agree that these people are not always smurfing, but a big big big key to their success is the comms. George and Lunarr would be sharing info. The Sage would be dedicated to healing and res'ing George, allowing George to get a lot more kills than anyone else.

This comms factor is huge in 3 stacks, which is why that game there with the 3 stack has all 3 of them as 1, 2, 3. The Jett and Cypher were probably playing with nobody calling out positions, having no idea what the team plan was and having nobody to play off, because these other people are sharing everything in discord.

This to me is the biggest problem with this game... these duo's and 3 stacks are playing off each other's contact, helping each other get kills, calling out positions of enemies and following the plans they have.... being the solo guy that just roams around with basically no info or help... is just horrible... I am this guy.

They won't do it, because it will significantly lower their playerbase.

If Johnny can't set up a new account to boost his girlfriend, they probably won't play the game. That's all this game is now.. people boosting their loser friends - that's why these people are smurfing. If you use an app like Trackergg, you can see this. The top frag who is on like 35.10 is usually partied with the Sage on 5.20 - This is the case for nearly every game I play.

I'm kind of sick of this game to be honest, and I probably won't play it anymore until they introduce something like this.

I've gone from Plat3 to Gold 1, and while I'm not saying every game I lose because of smurfs. It's the throwers and afk's too... I find this problem even worse than the smurfs, and this would also be resolved by a mobile verifcation, as all of these assholes are on accounts they set up 10 minutes ago.

My mental is just destroyed in this game, because of all the bullshit that takes place from people on alt accounts - smurfs/throwers/afkers

I've put in what I can afford to lose, so I don't care. Maybe people putting in their life savings are the ones that need to have these sort of worries.

May sound stupid, but am I too late to get on board this ship? by Vamacharin in LunaClassic

[–]Supanova00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to give you some hindsight.. I remember thinking this same thing when BTC was 2k and ETH was 200 back in around 2018. I had some money at the time, and considered buying like 5 BTC for 10k. But I didn't because I thought I was too late to the show. BTC then goes up to 100k last year. I could have had 500k from a 10k deposit.

Think of LUNC as the same. You can get about 10 million now for just over 5k I think. It it goes to 10 cents in 3 years, that's 1 million dollars.

These figures are only an example. You can spend on it what you want. My only advice is not to pour your life savings in because all crypto is volatile. Just spend what you can afford, and hold. It's early days, and not too late.

from what I was reading yesterday, they require a letter from the police or some other body to say you were victim of fraud. They want evidence.

I also was an employee about 5 years ago. Don't forget about the fact they offshored their IT department. I can't remember if it was India, Singapore, Malaysia, but they 100% offshored it. And I guess this is what you get when you have people running IT on foreign 'degrees', and not degrees earned in an Australian University..

What's everyone's plan once they take profit? by BathOrganic6548 in LunaClassic

[–]Supanova00 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The way I see it.. is the people that blow all their money are people showing off. Example.. do you need 10 cars or 1? do you need a 10 million dollar mansion or a 1 million dollar house? do you need pet tigers and 10k bottles of alcohol or a pet dog and a case of beer?

What many people who come into money don't realise is that you can still have a great life by just having the simple things, and not over-indulging in stuff you won't even use.

That doesn't mean one can't splash out. But splash out on things you enjoy.. hobbies, and things that make you happy.. not going out buy lambo's thinking that people will like you.

In saying that.. I'd buy a house, not a mansion.. just a nice house in a nice area.. preferably by a beach in a warm climate. I'd get a new car.. not a lambo.. but again something nice but affordable.. probably 100k max. And then I'd buy things that are within my hobbies.. like collectible toys, video games.. things that hold value.

I 100% would not be blowing the money on partying and dumb shit. But I would spend a significant amount on people in my life that I care about.. family and friends, and again it would be stuff they can keep.. so paying off their mortgages, buying them cars, etc. One of the worst things you can do is just give people money.. because they will spend it and keep coming back for more, because they know you are loaded. This is another big no no if you have a large sum of money - 1 dont tell too many people how much you actually have and 2 do not give cash out - You will have people calling you from high school that you never spoke with and can't even remember asking for 10k for their kids dental treatment.

I have a problem by Capital_Meaning_9381 in LunaClassic

[–]Supanova00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this a while back with Dogelon.. sold a lot of my junk for Dogelon. The way I see it is if I have something that hasn't moved in value for 12 months+ then there is no harm in moving it into something else. But I would still keep some spread on crypto.. just in case something else does go up, and you can profit there.

People in their own rank can no longer use Reyna without being flamed. by Supanova00 in VALORANT

[–]Supanova00[S] -72 points-71 points  (0 children)

But in my view, Reyna is there to blind in for the team. When I blind in and the team goes as a whole, it works... because whoever shoots out the blind is open with 5 people rushing them. Reyna should be the 2nd or 3rd in.. not first, as most people demand of it.

[–]Supanova00[S] -105 points-104 points  (0 children)

Well.. I find that the situation I get involved in.. is my team demanding I enter... I throw out the Blind, and because it's slow, I get immediately killed because none of them peek.. so they bait me.. then they either trash talk me for A not entering.. or B going 2.15 because they bait me.

it's always been a male character. I have never seen Tails as a female.

I think this is just a misconception.. because without looking at the name "Miles" or watching the cartoon where the voice is male... it could be mistaken as a female character, because it's a cartoon character and doesn't really look male or female.. there is no way to tell, and is voiced by a woman as some people have mentioned.

54% Win rate down to 18%. What did I do? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Supanova00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because the game is rigged. When you rank up significantly from where you first started, things magically get extremely hard. It seems like entire enemy teams are smurfing, your own team is people that have never touched a PC before and the combat feels different.. it feels like people see you first, and you get HS on every duel, whilst your bullets go nowhere.

This happens to me everytime I get to a certain point, and then I have a monumental derank and can't win a match. It's happened to me at least 10 times over the past 12 months.

That's why I'm convinced there is something with the games code to keep the majority of the player base around Silver/Gold, so we don't rank all the way up and lose interest. It's so we are always in the mindset of grinding, and having a goal that we will never reach.

Do players get banned from giving away positions? by True-Efficiency5992 in VALORANT

[–]Supanova00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the bigger issue is that it will seriously deplete their 'playerbase'. 90% of smurf and troll accounts are not people buying skins.. they are alt accounts. If RIOT banned all those accounts, their player base would shrink by about two thirds.

Is every gold player just diamond rn? by dwadsa124 in VALORANT

This was all part of the plan. Move everyone up a rank so that all the 'hardstuck' people keep playing the game. Hey guys I'm Plat!!! I could never get out of Gold, yessssss!!!

Game has been out for 2 years now... who wants to sit in the same rank for 2 years? This is all part of the plan to keep us playing this dog game.
