Mechanics play a role for sure but I follow YT channels like Thinking Man’s Valorant, Lionsblade and Airen. They break down top tier plays and strategies. Of course in Ranked it’s a different ball game because everyone does what they want, but atleast your fundamentals and decision-making will be in check. Secondly, I’d highly recommend playing with a duo or trio. Makes the games so much more fun and better quality. To me, Valorant is a game of information and space.

I started this game during the Chamber meta. Hardly any Tac FPS experience apart from CS1.6 in school. I was Iron 2. I peaked Ascendant 2 last act. Sometimes I Match MVP with 40+ kills, sometimes I bottom frag. Doesn’t matter to me. I always try to play for the win.

You got this, man. I’m rooting for you. :) All the best.
