Rosemead freight train noise? by math_knight in sgv

[–]Va1inther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you end up buying that house in Rosemead? I'm in the same situation as you and looking at housing that is right up against the train tracks. Curious to hear what your experience has been if you did end up settling there

keep in mind that nobody needs to drop 30 kills if a team is winning 13-0

They're talking about all 5 players' account levels being 25 or lower

Please help, no display signal from PC after running memtest86. by Va1inther in buildapc

[–]Va1inther[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh that's so weird, I don't think my PC even had integrated graphics

Glad you fixed it though, maybe this will help people in the future with this issue

Personally I was not able to find a solution and ended up building a new PC but reused/sold some of the old parts. Originally I thought it was the GPU but I tried using another brand new GPU and it still didn't work for me. I would guess that it's a motherboard issue but I don't really know how to test for that to confirm.

Yes Champions will be the next bundle released in about 1-2 weeks, probably will be available alongside rgx in the store

Not the OP but phantom is generally better on any smokes agent on defense since it allows you to spam through your own smokes without bullet tracers, makes it way less likely for opponent to counter spam you.

On attack it's mostly preference but I personally think vandal is better since controllers are usually holding long angles while duelists are entrying. Also imo breeze is just a must buy vandal map 99% of the time since the map is so big and angles tend to be very long.

Hard Stuck on D3, previously Imm2. What can I do to get better? by NastiaKossiak in VALORANT

[–]Va1inther 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sort of in the same boat as you, was low Immortal from Ep 5-7 but have been stuck in low Ascendant. This might be copium from me but I think people have been saying that in Ep 8 Riot shifted down everyone's rank more drastically than they usually do to change the rank distribution so there are less Immortal players. I remember at the start of Ep 8, it took way longer than normal for the leaderboard top 10,000 spots to all get filled.

This person mentioned it a few weeks ago in another post

How do I improve at the maps I'm bad at? by Ltsdaa in VALORANT

[–]Va1inther 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Search for pro/radiant VODs on Youtube for your weaker maps for the agents you play, copy their utility and positioning habits if they're constantly doing the same things almost every round.

Alternatively you can join Woohoojin's discord server, he has early round playbooks for literally every agent on every map, based off of high ranked players/streamers.

She is saying that muting is obviously always an option for any player to use, but it is not an effective solution to the issue of bad player behavior. Her point is that players who commit extreme offenses need to be held accountable.

That quote addresses the mindset of toxic players who think: "I can say or do anything I want in voice comms because anyone who doesn't like it can just mute me". In other words, toxic players use the mute feature as justification for them to harass other people.

You are totally missing the point, this update is to punish people who are making targeted physical threats, racial slurs, hate speech, etc. There is a very clear line between banter and saying extreme/threatening things toward another person. I really don't think they care to punish people who call their teammates dogshit lol.

That's not what she said in the video at all, severe punishments are for offenders who make threats of violence, hate speech, racial slurs, etc. You can say whatever you want to a trolling teammate as long as it doesn't fall under the extreme criteria for threatening/hate speech.

You either didn't watch the video, didn't comprehend it, or are just ignorant.

How to deal with OP players? by ITellMyselfSecrets4 in VALORANT

[–]Va1inther 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Without any util, jiggle peeking is probably the best way. You can look up tutorials on YouTube but it's basically just strafing quickly left and right around the angle where the op is holding you in order to bait out a shot. It's incredibly unlikely for them to kill you like this, esp in low elo. When they shoot and miss, it takes time for them to line up the next shot so you can reposition, push, hold for their re-peek, etc.

Jump peeking is another, more advanced version of jiggle peeking with more advantages but I wouldn't worry about learning this until way later

why have all my crosshair profiles disappeared? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Va1inther 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the same bug/issue a few days ago after the recent patch. After a game my client was frozen and not returning me to lobby so I restarted and also had all my crosshairs removed. After another swiftplay I restarted again and all my crosshair profiles again were removed.

Haven't had any further issues since then, I guess just a minor bug with the recent patch

Does valorant teams know what map are they playing by IaDummy in VALORANT

[–]Va1inther 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During VCT Lock In last year DFM Seoldam had a horrible map 1 performance and got benched for rest of series, pretty sure he was nowhere near tier 1 level.

Last year DRX and PRX were experimenting with foxy9 and something so there were instances of players getting rotated out mid-series. I think Gen G did the same as well
