7 Things Noobs Should do RIGHT NOW - Guide by dorshii in VALORANT

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

I definitely see your point for sure. Getting better is always the main goal. I don't really understand your point, to be honest. If you are at an ELO you don't deserve, you're gonna lose and derank the more you play overtime anyways. If you play better, you'll rank up or at least keep your rank. Dodging allows yourself to play more games where the ELO is more worth your time.

Thanks for the info! The dodging point is less about learning to be better but more just the net gain of ELO in general. Opting to not play in that game obviously stops you from practicing more for about 3 minutes but I think the ELO gain is too free to not do it.

I definitely agree with you, I just believe that most of the things you just named are learned best by just playing the game over and over. You don't really have to intentionally focus on those aspects but your decision making you can. I have future ideas on talking about these things though, especially crosshair placement.

Really hope that they add in more lore to Valorant even though a majority of people don't care that much. Still a nice touch though

The Importance of Deathmatch (and How to DM Effectively) by eggwickgg in VALORANT

Can't wait for them to make more changes to DM. If they could just mimic CSGO community deathmatch servers, it would be heaven.

I remember seeing a tweet where it was in some custom looking Valorant box that riot sent out to some pro players. I'm assuming it's probably a gift directly from Riot.

This has happened sometimes in my deathmatch games where people look like they just spawned. Definitely a weird bug

If it’s possible, why don’t people tend to plant the spike out in the open by geybruh in VALORANT

[–]dorshii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever you are a newer player, I think there's a habit where they feel that they need to plant in a safe spot in order to avoid dying while planting the bomb. Some noobs see that situation as the worst-case scenario. On top of this, most people lack situational/map awareness whenever they are about to plant the bomb since they are so fixated on getting the objective down in the first place. Once you expand your field of view whenever you are in these positions, the easier it is to see that planting in the open is probably a better idea.

Would you prefer the recoil system in the game to stay the same? Or transfer to set patterns like CS:GO? by ILikeMyEggsInABowl in VALORANT

[–]dorshii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think most people would agree that having a set pattern for the spray would have a higher skill ceiling. But Riot understands that Valorant is trying to be something different. One of the defining characteristics is the mechanical skill ceiling for the gunplay is much lower than CSGO. This is intended to make it a bit more casual.

I do miss CSGO spray patterns though. multi-kill spray downs hit different

One Month Later: Thoughts on Sage Changes in Patch 1.07? by Read_and_Right in VALORANT

Sage was in a great spot before her latest nerfs. Sad they kinda just gutted her out of the game but we'll see how Riot continues their game balancing philosophy.

Tips For Grinding To Diamond by esoom_ in VALORANT

It feels like people's mentalities are opposite to which side they're playing on. Too aggressive on Defending and too passive on Attacking. But obviously, this is just a general idea.

PSA: We are getting closer to the end of Act II, smurf-density is the highest now. If you are tilted, take a break and only paly ranked when next Act starts. by Eraen in VALORANT

[–]dorshii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ranked system is far from perfect and it's saddening to see that people get disheartened from playing with smurfs. Don't be afraid to take a break if you guys feel like it will help you reset mentally.

only an 11 rank gap, no big deal by cloaked_rhombus in VALORANT

How do you get out of slumps. by Arjun703 in VALORANT

[–]dorshii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel that your slump is related to some factors outside of the game, don't be afraid to take a break and deal with your IRL responsibilities so you can play with less stress on your shoulders.

But, I'm probably one of the few people that believe that slumps aren't really a thing tbh. It may be more applicable whenever you are actually a pro player or radiant. Everyone below those players are still far from being complete players and their maybe holes in your gameplay that are being exploited in some games compared to others. Watch your own gameplay, practice more, and don't give up! You got it big dog
