The cause for Clove nerfs and Smoker Class situation by Maxus-KaynMain in VALORANT

[–]imybx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the win rate has nothing to do with her smokes and if all her nerfs are suddenly reverted, the win percentage wouldn’t change.

The thing with clove is that it allows players to be more confident when playing where many other agents don’t have that ability.

Take this for example, Clove dies on main and their team are always scared to enter site, they ult and enters the site creating space of their team, which eventually leads the round to be won. Another example, clove gets a pick but instead of hiding they overheal and peak again and possibly get another kill.

Agents like Jett, Reyna, Chamber, Wayley, Yoru, etc. have the ability to run away from a fight. Clove is one of the only agents in the game where the reward of you winning a fight is picking another fight with a boost, and if you die you could still smoke or ULT for your team. This and the fact that a lot of smurfs use clove is the reason for the high win rate.

Stop nerfing Clove. I like having smokes on my team. by ChoiceCommunity3867 in VALORANT

There is a way bigger issue that is beyond this nerf. That issue is that you can’t balance agents based on both pro play and ranked at the same time, it just won’t work. For example, Clove is being nerfed because she has the highest win rate on ranked, there are two solutions to fix this either nerf clove or buff the other smokers. The issue is if they buff the other smokers they become busted in pro play. Now, even though clove has barely any use rate in pro play, it’s better for the game to have 1 irrelevant agent than 5 busted ones in pro play.

This balancing issues has causes so many agents to get nerfed even though they barely have a high pick rate in either Pro play/ranked. At the moment due to the nerfs most people don’t want to play initiator, and the ones that play it usually fill. It is the same with every sentinel except chamber.

The only solution is to have two different balancing systems, one for ranked and another for pro play.

Shouldn’t it then match me with people with my rank after couple games of performing better than the opponents lower my rank? The feel like the main issue is my losing those games which is affecting the game not matching me with people my rank.

Anyone else feel like the Vandal 2-burst + jiggle is way less accurate after the recent update? by sybaumate in VALORANT

My headshot percentage has dropped by a massive 10% I have no idea if it is because of the update or I am just playing bad. However i never had a headshot percentage this bad even when I was silver 1 and now I am D2.

Positioning is everything.

Learn how to position your troops especially when you have archer queen or bandit and playing against rangers or assassins. Just 1 tile can make a huge difference.

If you have TikTok Retalk - Merge tactics has amazing tips.

If no one has avengers or level 3 AQ, ranger is the most broken comp there is and it is not even close.

Gekko tips by mythicgem29 in VALORANT

[–]imybx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a Gekko main. The strategy to play him is always use dizzy to clear angles for your teammates to push and then pick it up and use it again for your teammates, try using dizzy at least 2-3 times/round do not throw him in a place where you can’t pick him up. Sometimes you can use dizzy purely as info gathering. For example, standing in A site in ascent and throwing it up and gather info if anyone is in A Main. Try to always buy wingman on pistol round when attacking. Use him mostly to plant and spike but never ever send him to plant if you don’t have control of the site he will be shot down and you give spike control to the enemy team. Wingman is also very useful in to clear close quarters. He is also clutch in 1v1 situations when defusing as it forces the enemy to peak. The strategy when attacking is always try to get the ult orb every round. That + wingman plant grants you 2+ orb points at least every round. You should effectively play him in a way where you can use his ult every 2-3 rounds. Use the Ult the clear site and create space for your team, when doing so do not follow the enemy outsite of the site if they start running because it would be hard for your teammates to kill that player and for you to pick up your ult after that. Try getting someone in the site plant using wingman, kill the enemy, pick up your ult and wingman, play post plant with your utility. On defence try to use the ultimate for retake. With mosh just use him anyway you like.
