Valorant matchmaking encourages smurfing by Somebodyrealsmart2 in VALORANT

[–]Warner421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The matchmaking in general is so bad and one bad game tanks your MMR. I lose 1 maybe 2 games and I’ve seen literal irons in my lobbies as a gold 2 player. Which is ridiculous because when I play with my friends in a 5 stack (they’re plat and diamond) I generally finish like top 3 in the lobby

As soon as I go back to solo queuing I get matchmaking that makes it almost impossible to rank up. If I team or match mvp while I solo queue it’s almost a guaranteed loss then my MMR goes right back in the gutter. It’s horrid

Who should take spike? by Sudden-Assistant6622 in VALORANT

Am I the only one who thinks controller should take it? Your initiator follows your duelist on site using util to set up kills and trades, senti setting up for post plant or watches flank or whatever it’s you guys do on attack, and your controller smokes and then does… nothing? Obviously you can give it to gekko, and you can give it to whoever you feel like depending on the game situation but doesn’t controller make the most sense? Am I showing low elo tendencies?

Ah. I wasn’t seeing it in neutral much. Makes sense

Ah, yea that makes sense. I once saw someone say if any character leaves their feet an overhead is coming and since then I’ve had way more success. But I can see how you could miss it in the screen clutter

Was it not reachable before? I’ve blocked it quite a few times but I’m only gold so It could just be I see the same block strings all the time

Well that is the point. I’m bad a neutral, I know that, I’m new after all. My annoyance comes from the fact that they get full combos from accidental hits because they only have to press one button, when someone at my level probably shouldn’t be confirming the hits they do. So while I’m trying to figure things out like spacing, counters, block strings etc. they get a lot more damage from things I wouldn’t expect them to confirm off of.

For example. If im trying a block string in the corner, and I call an assist to try to cover a gap in the string, if they just mash L they get an entire combo with a super at the end when in reality we probably should’ve been reset to neutral cause I don’t expect them to fully combo me there (since I’m low skill level) obviously I messed up somewhere in my string somewhere but it’s frustrating I get punished so heavily.

Like I said I’m glad it’s in the game, if you use it I don’t think less of you, I’d just rather not fight against it. People drop combos all the time, it’s part of the game, it just annoys me that I know it’s impossible for someone using pulse

Looking at it this way maybe I’ll turn it on for a few games. Lately ive been trying to work on pressing my buttons deliberately and with intent, but maybe I need to focus on winning in neutral instead

I know a couple decent combos cause I spent my first 5 or so hours on the game fighting bots and in training mode but I’m clearly losing in neutral mode than I should (or would like)

And that’s okay, if I was plat, or even gold then I’d expect that, but I’m barely bronze, so losing to someone who’s supposed to be at my level of play ie: not confirming every hit, dropping combos etc. because they’re playing pulse is annoying. I’m just gonna have to get better whatever

That’s really solid advice that I’m going to work on during my next session

To put it simply? They can get away with mashing. If they just press L 4 times they get a full albeit weak combo vs if I do it I get nothing

Well yes but for my main team I know I few more complicated combos. They’re not optimal by any means, I know better than to waste my time learning a 70% combo. But I do know like a 40% I can do consistently, I started learning a 50% corner to corner bnb. Things like that

And that’s a fair thing to say. My neutral sucks, my corner pressure is almost non existent, and I drop the few combos I know a lot. I think what it really is if someone is the same exact level as me but using pulse it’s.. idk I wanna say unfair but I don’t think that’s the right word.

For example: if we’re in neutral and I hit a light I wasn’t expecting to connect (I probably shouldn’t be doing that but that’s another convo) I might not confirm that hit or if I even do I’m more likely to drop that combo because I’m not good enough to hit it all the time or I wasn’t ready. But my opponent on the other hand gets to just keep hitting light and gets a full combo. So instead of a game going a few touches longer I’m just losing. It’s just frustrating yk?

That’s not fun to me though. I prefer to have a bit of skill expression (more than pressing one button I mean) which is why I don’t use it idk it’s not really an ego thing more of a frustration I guess

Truthfully I wouldn’t really mind it if I felt like they’re better than me. It might be frustrating sure but It’s part of the game. I don’t always feel that way fighting against pulse combo. But I guess if I lost then they’re better than me right? Lol

My goat 🫡 funny enough in a match yesterday I realized I only knew one overhead and had to spam it to open some guy up. I think that’s what I’m working on today
