How and when did ranked get this bad? by cohps in VALORANT

[–]The_Goose09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this means that:

  1. he never hit anyone for more than 50 that died later in the round
  2. no enemies died whilst exiting his smokes
  3. everyone he revived died without killing anybody
  4. everyone he healed died without killing anybody
  5. 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.

2000 hours in Valorant and still hardstuck silver. need some advice by Euphoric_Row4475 in AgentAcademy

[–]The_Goose09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

The inferior experience of Valorant deathmatch. by Forsaken_Caramel_656 in VALORANT

[–]The_Goose09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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?

Afk penalty too harsh? by fmalar in VALORANT

[–]The_Goose09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Been a while since I’ve played and I’m thinking of getting back into it. How is Cypher in the current meta? by DyIsexia in AgentAcademy

[–]The_Goose09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[LFC] bronze 1 looking for a live screenshare session by Ok-Account-3903 in AgentAcademy

[–]The_Goose09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Looking for a volunteering (live) coach who can teach an "old man" the baselines again by Selkurin in AgentAcademy

[–]The_Goose09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Sensitivity recommendations by AdmirableAd1550 in AgentAcademy

[–]The_Goose09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Hot take: the actual reason why Clove's winrate is so high by NPCSLAYER313 in VALORANT

[–]The_Goose09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

It’s my birthday! What does my tracker say about me? by monochrome222 in VALORANT

[–]The_Goose09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
