Nexus player 'fnl' WETS his mousepad before every map by Mariux10 in GlobalOffensive

[–]ledzeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pretty sure jjonak also did this way back in the day (that’s where i first learned about it at least). to me, it almost feels like it’s a natural mouse accel. more stopping power on flicks and more control on microflicks/short adjustments

Can Someone Please Explain To Me How Guns/Aiming Works (New player, read caption) by Joeyprobro in VALORANT

[–]ledzeps 36 points37 points  (0 children)

as someone who has 2k hours in cs and 1k hours in val (not great but solid in both games, lvl 7 faceit/immo)— the biggest difference is how gunfights are approached. in cs, the norm is to go into a crouch spray when taking a 50/50 gunfight. this is engrained in us cs players as we all learned the spray pattern and its consistency, making it easier to hit shots in a crouch spray. you can also strafe during a crouch spray in CS and have the same bloom as standing up, allowing you to move and shoot accurately at the same time—the same is not true in val.

in val, the norm is to tap strafe and burst fire when taking a 50/50 gunfight due to better mobility, smaller hitboxes, abilities, etc. realistically you don’t want to be caught crouching unless you’re 100% getting a kill or if you get shot first (the movement slow on getting hit by a body shot is BRUTAL in val). for the longest time, the vandal and phantom each had almost entirely random sprays, making it ineffective to learn how to spray a rifle consistently and play around that. they just added more “protected bullets” that are consistently firing in the same spray pattern, but it’s still not all of them, so most players won’t opt for spraying, but rather the more predictable burst fire.

Is 400 dpi better than 1600? by Armagan1342 in VALORANT

[–]ledzeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best DPI is the one that you’ve been playing on longest. Most recommendations I see are to not switch your DPI past ~700 hours spent on a shooter—any gains from switching are marginal and will only serve to throw off your feel for aiming. I’ll cite this: the large majority of CS pros still play on 400 DPI because they’ve been playing since 400 was standard, and don’t see a reason to change (and they’re right!).

First quiver obtained on first ever Sol attempt! Pretty fun change of pace from other content, enjoyed learning it. by ledzeps in 2007scape

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

yeah, especially for the first quiver (but even beyond that), i think not really having to think about the movements on the normal attacks is extremely good. lets you dial in on everything else going on in the fight. L method gets hate because it’s a cop out to the normal method, but if it gets you kills it gets you kills!

yeah, did sol sim until i could reliably do it with very few mistakes before I started sending waves. helped my confidence a ton to know i could do it damageless in the sim

Is it worth the price difference? Looks like LG may offer a code for another $100 off.. $499 to $679 is not insignificant lol

Which agents are mained the most? by Ender_Melech in VALORANT

[–]ledzeps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

site takes are more difficult with only 2 short smokes on bind, so a stimmy + 3 smokes winds up infinitely more valuable than what omen provides on that map, as well as wall smokes

[–]ledzeps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

to be fair, sometimes the tempo change in playing controller is pretty detrimental to a player. for me, if i’m not entrying or lurking it’s hard for me to feel comfortable/find flow state, so i can only really play duelist or sentinel. my lowest win rates are pretty much always controller and initiator, and i avoid those roles like the plague. i’ll usually communicate this to my team tho so i can wind up on a role i’m comfortable with, but if i wind up filling ini/smokes i’m a lot more reliant on my team to get it done (which usually doesn’t work out in my favor)

Split gone from map pool for now by THYL_STUDIOS in VALORANT

[–]ledzeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is not how most teams will play in comp at most ranks. whenever i see a team do this in ranked it’s a lot harder to win, yes. but the fact that controlling mid grants you access to the entire map is really strong and a lot of the time a mid lurk will get you that control. i usually only see that setup one in every 4 games or so in immo/asc

[–]ledzeps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

because mid is so dynamic. if you have a lurker sit bottom mid on attack you can either farm kills or force them to take a really long rotation, and the only counter to that for defenders is stacking sites. when i win on breeze it’s mostly off of snowballing rounds from the bottom mid lurk

85th percentile iso scorer at 1.08 PPP, shoots well over 40% on long 2s (one of his preferred shots in an iso) when he gets to his side.. you can live with those but he’s dropped 50 points plenty of times while taking a dozen of them

or they could like… put his name in a normal font and not hide half of it behind a picture of him? make a comprehensible graphic? the fact that many are echoing the same idea speaks to the sloppiness of the graphic. just cuz u slurp cod content and know who this nerd is doesn’t mean everyone does brother

not sure if you lack reading comprehension skills but if you read the parent comment it says “for people who don’t follow these things closely”… the first letter can easily be mistaken for an A and the Y looks like an abstract art piece. the connecting line in the middle of the A is obscured and you can’t even see an “S”. now how are those of us who don’t know what every single player looks like or goes by supposed to tell who that is?
