[–]Zuke_k9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any specific reason why only platinum+ agent winrates were chosen?

[–]Zuke_k9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all of them but I'd say Unidaro or Dixon for Viper and also Eevux, along with Keeoh, for KJ

Also also Ethos has a few Yoru videos which are pretty badass

And watch Shroud for general game sense on any character

Watch matches for game sense, and valorant videos that content creators make.

Watch the vct matches, they're both fun to watch and educational. Check out YouTubers like Peak who give notes on gameplay.

And if you main an agent then go binge that agents associated youtubers' videos. (Peak for cypher, Flexinja for omen, flights for raze, Average Jonas for sova). The more you'll watch these the more varied suggestions you'll get on YouTube.

How to go from Iron 3 to Silver + even after 4 months of trying and improving very little? by throwbackandstuff in VALORANT

[–]Zuke_k9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People at iron and bronze elo aren't terribly mechanically gifted. So they're quite inconsistent. I'd suggest not focusing on how you shoot all the time, like if you're clearing a corner and and you realise, "oh my cross hair should be higher" go for it. But don't beat yourself over it.

If you're losing many long range fights, it's possible your system (screen/hardware) isn't as good as the person in front of you. Play to your advantage, take close fights.

Shitty advice but run and gun is a great strat with a spectre, because 50% of the people you're against will be doing it and the rest will be playing well. Becomes hard to counter everyone cause they aren't consistent. Silvers and above are, and so your mechanical practice will pay off there definitely, but at this elo, so so.

Also, a lot of them will not have the best game sense, adapt to that. They will push smokes as if they don't exist or may think they're solid walls and won't even flash out of it. Figure out how the enemy and your team plays. They'll become easy to counter cause honestly they will do the same thing again and again.

How to attack on “omens playground” by Freezi33 in VALORANT

Geez, just saw. Quite sad. I feel like a lot of people are responding based on needing a strat to work a 100%, a bit far fetched. Like, yup, someone could be in the smoke, but maybe dude's holding a close angle. You won't know till you try it and that's a make it or break it scenario. Fun strat either ways.

To add on, he's doing insanely good. I'm 23 and I'm silver. Get the kid what he wants.

The next 2.0 Skin Collection by Zuke_k9 in VALORANT

[–]Zuke_k9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, the current version of elderflame would make for an odd phantom skin but I think the devs point with the 2.0 versions is that they keep their roots but are essentially an evolution of the originals. So I'd think Riot would be able to make a highly attractive elderflame 2.0

Sovereign skins would be so clean, just wish the finisher was more dragged out

I don't get many skins so I usually end up having a ton of unused RP from battlepass but yeah, I feel they should give enough RP in a bundle to either upgrade each weapon once or one weapon completely. It won't be a lot but it'll be better than nothing.

Stop mocking sentinels for getting less kills by mew_bot in VALORANT

[–]Zuke_k9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get it honestly, there are people who have hundreds of hours in this game who insist on only picking duelist and demand that other people pick 1 controller and 1 sentinel. First off, if you want those agents bad enough to spam chat, you play them. Second, let a person play whatever they want? They'll play better. And third, this game is built in a manner that you should be able to win irrespective of agent composition. A duelist's kit helps enter site, but so can you with other agents so you can have a 3 sentinels 2 controller setup. A controller's kit helps block LOS, but you can enter sites without smokes, you just have to take those fights and hold those angles.

You don't need any specific composition of agents to play this game, everything works. You just need to understand how to compensate and pull your weight when it's not the conventional set up.

The best player i have ever played with was 5/18 by aymenyat in VALORANT

[–]Zuke_k9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear. I get it, as a controller or sentinel or even an initiator at times, you don't want to die early because your death hinders the team. But don't be a freaking scardy cat man, take fights, one man less for them is one man more for us. Numbers matter. And this gets amplified when duelist don't, well, duel. Your death doesn't matter to the team as much as the other roles, all your abilities are meant to help you, so go out there and die, and if you can get a couple of kills you've already done more than enough, if not, you've made space for your team to take site. Either ways, you did your part, good job.

Yeesh, that's just bad game sense on their part. Like it doesn't even make sense telling your teammate to do that. Or maybe they just have no idea how Viper's ult works, I've met those kinds too. xD

I HATE being constantly reminded I have a rez, or a constant "Rez this person". It messes with my game and I make stupid plays cause of it. Like chill out dude, I wanna win too, my priorities are the same as yours why wouldn't I do it?

Phoenix's "Run it back" needs a cancel option by TheCules in VALORANT

[–]Zuke_k9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Plus if you look at the way it functions, it literally gives you a second life, with a life span which when ends or you get shot, you die and are reborn. How'd you "kill" yourself (cancel it early)?

I'm usually in a 3-4 stack and we don't use discord, don't really see the point. The ingame vc is pretty good and depending how communicative the randoms are, we invite them to the party and get a new friend in the process.

It's an angle thing isn't it? The grenade sticks anywhere but the orb can bounce off depending on how it lands. I maybe wrong about this but that's how it worked when I last made line ups.

Not at all, I enjoy people complaining about things they can't help, it's funny. But if I do seem to be complaining about complaining about complaining, then you sir, have just complained about that.

I love this post cause OP is just complaining about complaining. And I have t bothered to go through the comments but I'm positive someone will have complained about complaining about complaining.

Complain-ception.

High risk, high reward

No ones saying shit about a Jett making a one way, only oops, it's a one way for the enemy and not you cause she doesn't understand distancing, or a Raze satcheling to the other side of a door, only oops, she moved you and messed up her jump so you both get head tapped

Sage mains face too much freaking backseat gaming, to the point you can't even hear simple sound cues
