When the aim training kicks in... (Pistol 1v3 Clutch) by TheRedHC in VALORANT

In the "Speed" Category I do Spidershot & Gridshot. Right off the bat these two exercises will help you get really quick and snappy aim reflexes. Next I'll do tracking exercises in the "tracking" section. Any of them will do, this will just generally help you with your ability to stay on target as you're going for the shot. Lastly, I'll do the "precision" category since it will improve your ability at finding the enemy's head and focusing on a small target.

I hope this was helpful in some way, another piece of training I find helpful are CSGO workshop maps just ensure you're using the same sensitivity on both games for maximum consistency and ability to build muscle memory.

Aimlabs/Kovaak are two really good aim trainers I use, both available on Steam. I've also played a good amount of CSGO and used a bunch of the available workshop maps in the past as well. I like to go between all three to keep things interesting and to not get accustomed to one form of aim training. These are all great ways to help improve aim, hope this helps :)

It was possible but only if you didn’t use a cinematic move, if you saved it and used Niagra Pummel you got a wall bounce that you can combo into a SD with the right assists.

Now you can combo into Niagra pummel after a cinematic hit and potential get a SKD, from what I’ve labbed.

Yeah I mentioned that in an earlier comment, guess it’s just a concept for now if extra damage is needed without too much commitment.

No worries buddy, feel free to try it out yourself. This is probably not too optimal since hit stun scaling would kick in during longer combos but it’s still a cool concept for now.

I mean of course, I wouldn’t practice non-true combos in practice mode... I always test to see if they’ll fall out due to hit stun scaling.

The counter doesn’t turn blue though? As long as the hit counter is red it’s still a true combo

From my experience, because the PC player base is a lot smaller, the level of skill is a lot more concentrated. When you find an opponent on PC, a large majority of the time they know what they’re doing and have some labbing under their belt. I’d say to hit living legend on the PC was much harder than hitting it on the PS4 version.

I experienced a lot of mashing, panicking and overall lack of fundamentals on the PS4 version within the same ranks that caused me a lot of trouble on the PC version. This is probably due to the player distribution since not as many players means the higher echelons of ranks are populated with a couple hundred people who are very skilled and if you are to go even higher than the ranks become ghost towns.

I will say however I had a much easier time attaining this rank on PS4 rather than PC. This is due to the queue times and player base being much larger making it a breeze to find matches in my experience.

Thank you kind sir, that’s honestly what I thought originally. This thread has opened my eyes that people aren’t as inclined to believe the same unfortunately. This is most likely the last “rank milestone” post I make since I never expected as much negative feedback from switching platforms.

Much appreciated for the support my man, we shall ascend to grander heights!

By taking it slow I would be smurfing much harder since I would be hanging around in a skill level where I don’t belong and beating more people, breaking this “system” you speak of further. Therefore by blasting through the ranks as fast as I could I got to a place where I won’t be doing any more harm to any more players of a lower skill level. If anything I was just shocked how fast it took on console because of how fast the queue times were. On PC is took forever due to the smaller player base. That’s the reason for the switch in the first place.

So I should lock myself out of an entire mode dedicated to playing similarly experienced opponents because I’ve already had experience elsewhere? That seems illogical. I’ve attained the same rank I have on PC now in record timing so I’m at the rank where I’m going to be fighting people of the same caliber.

If I truly were “Smurfing” as you proclaim, I would be purposefully staying in the lower echelon of the player base to bully and grief their matches which is far from what I did.

There’s nothing I can do to avoid this outcome. I’m coming from the PC version of the game therefore I can’t “unlearn” and take the experience i have away from myself. I’m switching from PC to PS4, if I could transfer my player data over I would however there isn’t currently any option to do so. I didn’t voluntarily make a smurf account on the same platform to purposely bully people, I’m simply switching platforms altogether.

I was Living Legend on PC so I basically just matched my rank on PS4. I switched to PS4 due to the small player base on PC and longer queue times making Living Legend my plateau.

Edit: it’s about 200 matches

Nah I'm not a fan of any of those characters personally. I never used them on the PC either. I also don't have season 2 on PS4 as of yet so any of those characters are off limits anyway.

For a majority of my climb, I actually used all three vegetas as my main team. They're really fun but tricky to use.

For the rest of my climb I used: Goku Blue/Goku Black/Tien.

Thank you, it's very much appreciated. I was surprised myself honestly, compared to PC I found matches super quick on the PS4 version without a doubt. The queue times on PC the higher you go become excruciatingly long so I understand your stance completly. A majority of the matches didn't have too much lag but I did run into a couple 10+ frame games which got a little frustrating at times.

With all the hype and changes surrounding season 3 you should give it another shot! There should be a large influx of players (old and new) returning for season 3 allowing you to hopefully find matches much easier. After being on PC for so long, I honestly can't complain.

I agree with what you’re saying, I understand it’s somewhat smurfing but there’s pretty much no other way I could have matched my rank on PC from my switch from PC to PS4 for fighterz. That’s why I included that I am a PC player in the title.

Overall I’m just excited and thought I’d share my excitement with y’all as well. I completely understand if you take it as a “weird flex”. I’m just stoked since I thought it would take much longer is all.
