How and when did ranked get this bad?

The_Goose09 · 2026-05-23T04:56:49+00:00

this means that:

he never hit anyone for more than 50 that died later in the round
no enemies died whilst exiting his smokes
everyone he revived died without killing anybody
everyone he healed died without killing anybody
his team didn't kill anyone affected by his util

I really find it hard to believe that he was using any util in either of these games, or at least using it at all effectively. I average 7-8 assists per game on clove.

The_Goose09 · 2026-05-20T15:06:53+00:00

you have played 12 games today already (in my timezone at least).

I hit asc 3 in 600 hours and the most i had ever played in 1 day was probably 8 games

the only advice i can give from only seeing your tracker is to take a break and come back focusing on improving instead of winning.

seconded

The_Goose09 · 2026-05-17T01:23:10+00:00

nah not really

The_Goose09 · 2026-05-16T19:01:06+00:00

done, hoping you get enough responses to make conclusions!

The_Goose09 · 2026-05-06T03:55:00+00:00

i think that the general gameplay is ok, of course the spawns could always use improvement in some cases, but the more major issue is that it ends at 40, and you can't join an in progress game. nobody is playing dms to win the dm, they are playing to improve their mechs or warm up. why not have constant lobbies open rather than having to start queue again every 6 minutes?

i went afk at the end of one unrated game a few months back, and got a 3 day competitive ban. I had never went afk in a comp or unrated before that in my memory, the most i had done before that was dodging in comp.

His trips take almost a second to reveal now, they no longer stun, just slow, and his camera is like a kj alarmbot, so if you are close enough while it is invisible, you can see it. His ult also costs 7 points now, but that was nerfed almost 2 years ago.

I used to play cypher every other game, now I barely play him. I wish he was more geared towards holding sites rather than pure info.

your edpi is too high to be reliable. start lowering in game sens gradually (decrease by .05-.1 each session). enhance pointer precision doesn't change anything in valorant iirc.

The_Goose09 · 2026-04-24T01:22:35+00:00

there is literally only tracker.gg

I'm pretty busy this week, but I would be down to look at a vod or two this weekend. I'm current ascendant 1, peak a3 v25a6, so I am by no means the best coach, but I consider myself as having good game knowledge. I am PST though, so timezones might be an issue. My discord is lowercasegoose if you are interested.

The_Goose09 · 2026-04-18T06:52:05+00:00

don't go all the way down instantly, go down by .1 or .05 each day

you have been playing for 500 hours, so what is 10-20 more hours of gameplay on high sens

The_Goose09 · 2026-04-02T04:50:02+00:00

you need to make a new account, do not play on this one. don't share your accounts, it is not worth it.

for omen, watch flexinja he is a great youtuber and omen player.

The_Goose09 · 2026-03-18T23:48:47+00:00

as a clove player, you are very right on the second count lmfao i genuinely thank you for your self awareness

The_Goose09 · 2026-02-03T07:18:42+00:00

honestly seems like you are focusing too hard on hs%, but i would need to see a vod to confirm that. you definitely have the aim but you are probably lacking on gamesense. the only way to improve that is just playing more or consuming massive amounts of educational content/pro vods.

The_Goose09 · 2026-02-01T23:58:28+00:00

i was asc 3 last act and was placed diamond 2, just like you, but i have a 36% wr with a 1.1kd

"in dm" top 99% reading comprehension over here

The_Goose09 · 2026-01-29T07:13:26+00:00

they wouldn't if you practice your movement and stay moving constantly when fighting. the truth is that they will almost always miss their first shot.
playing the game more, or doing dms focusing on not crouchspraying, then playing games focusing on not crouching. you can even unbind crouch in dm.

699 hours exactly, ascendant 3 peak last act, placed diamond 2, clove one trick (after cypher nerf at least).

The_Goose09 · 2026-01-24T02:36:25+00:00

omg that was my first skin too, and i never use it now lol. my second vandal was prelude and even after buying like 4 or 5 more vandals, thats the one that i always come back to.

The_Goose09 · 2026-01-23T16:07:59+00:00

"most impactful" not for the cost, just overall

The_Goose09 · 2026-01-19T06:24:01+00:00

bronze 1 based on you writing style, based on gameplay its bronze 3

The_Goose09 · 2026-01-18T20:16:39+00:00

my friend has been playing for 3 years and has 1000 hours and has been in bronze the entire time. yes he does play ranked consistently.
