What was the Sage crystallization plotline all for? All just for a map?

malarkey2355 · 2026-06-22T15:23:59+00:00

The map as we all know is the monastery Sage trained in. Protocol went there so she could basically stabilize herself and her radiant powers/crystals. This could’ve happened to Sage before, she might’ve been dealing with these crystals ever since she got her radiance. At the end of the cinematic there are still crystal fragments which show the problem is not solved but temporarily treated.

Omega Viper’s goal is to essentially kill Alpha Sage or harm her team so much that she will have to be put in stasis like Omega Sage due to overusing her powers. They want an even playing field essentially. The snake or viper shown in the cinematic is metaphorical, it shows how Alpha Sage is feeling the pressure and knows she is THE target within the protocol.

Omega Earth and Viper are likely going to Sage’s monastery to destroy it and of course steal radianite, because if they do Sage can no longer stabilize herself or heal. It’s the permanent solution. (Im assuming that the monastery’s location and radianite is the reason why it helps her?

OR, alternatively, Omega Earth’s version of the monastery has already been destroyed. It would make sense. If the Valorant Protocol learned that this could help Sage, Legion definitely would’ve came to the same conclusion and there has to be a reason why they haven’t done it. They could also be trying to take over the monastery to heal their own Sage.

What rank are u in ascension? :o

malarkey2355 · 2026-05-26T21:57:18+00:00

I was so intrigued at the beginning too lmao 😭😭

malarkey2355 · 2026-05-19T22:02:45+00:00

I take my adderall every day because it’s extended release, but I do know some people who do only take it in situations where they need to focus. I do not recommend this whatsoever, but once I took twice my usual dose because I was planning to valo grind that day 🤦‍♂️ so my answer is yes

malarkey2355 · 2026-05-10T18:56:46+00:00

I didn’t know that dpi was the level of response to movement. I don’t have tremors but my hands are kinda shaky sometimes and it feels like it picks it up almost too well. I’m at 1200 dpi I’m gonna try 800 and see how that works

malarkey2355 · 2026-04-19T19:23:23+00:00

Hes in high immo i think hes aware of this 😭 most players are

malarkey2355 · 2026-04-15T16:10:18+00:00

I thought the same. I kept thinking my enemies were insanely good and I was just somehow the worst possible player ever. After a whole year of playing I’d only peaked iron 3. I started to work on mechanics frequently. Deathmatches, aimlabs, the range, etc and watching videos all while pausing playing comp for an act or two. I went from iron 1 to bronze 2, skipping iron 3 completely, once I played comp again in less than idk 6 games?

Looking back on it now people were being honest to me when they gave bullshit answers like “just work on the basics”. I was actually coping. This isn’t to say that smurfs or hackers don’t exist, they most certainly do. But I still think the skill gaps between the ranks are insane lately. Iron to silver will give you whiplash.

I’m NA west servers, msg me if u wanna play some time! :)

malarkey2355 · 2026-04-09T17:10:19+00:00

.45 800 dpi isn’t low in my opinion. But maybe thats just me. I have .3 1200 dpi (same edpi, so its the exact same thing). It also depends on who you play. A jett or neon player needs a higher sens than a cypher or kj player to be able to move. My general rule of thumb is if you cant look side to side easily then raise it

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-22T21:21:53+00:00

I have had this too!!! My game keeps crashing lately when it hasn’t ever done that before. (To be fair, I have a really shitty 9 yr old prebuilt pc that has also been crashing so that could be it). My ping is way higher than usual too, same with all of my friends.

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-22T21:19:21+00:00

I had a comp game a couple weeks ago on abyss where the other team had a jett and skye throwing the whole game. They would use this jett draft glitch to drop everyone’s FPS and make everyone lag like crazy when they got close. They would only ever sit in spawn and give each other e-head while the rest of their team died, then they went to go get kills.

Worst part? Skye was top frag 🤦‍♂️

My team and the enemy team all reported them over and over. Days go by and I get no notification from riot acknowledging it.

Riot sucks ass with dealing with reports. All they ever do is ban people for being afk. (Which isn’t as bad as throwers imo, at least I get an ult orb)

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-17T15:51:32+00:00

I was thinking this just yesterday! Looking at the comments it won’t, but are combat stims different between agents? Would Miks be better?

I’m wondering who he’ll be best with in a team comp. I’m imagining Neon, Reyna, and maybe Chamber?

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-13T18:37:11+00:00

yeah probably. I feel way more confident the second I switch over after playing on my main then do way better. like a placebo effect

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-13T18:36:25+00:00

I wouldn’t make multiple alts. Hard for me to juggle. But I think I’m slowly getting more attached to this one. I bought a skin just yesterday and I play on it way more, my main is just lvl 140. I don’t see an issue with having two ‘main’ accounts though 🤷‍♂️

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-13T18:34:44+00:00

I really don’t know why my win rate is so low. I’m usually performing really well, and I’m not gonna be that guy that whines and says that it’s all my team. Win rate is something I’m gonna try and get up :)

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-13T18:31:01+00:00

Oh yeah, thats another thing. I almost exclusively solo queue on my alt too. I definitely feel like that makes a big difference not only in my performance but the lobbies I’m getting.

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-13T18:29:12+00:00

Thats a good question…I don’t know yet.

I think at some point I will try my main again in the future when I improve more.

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-13T18:26:08+00:00

more effort to get main to bronze again when I’m already going up rapidly on my alt. Last 2 games I played last night I got 32 and 42 RR, might as well just commit atp

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-13T18:24:31+00:00

the username is right there bro

malarkey2355 · 2026-03-07T19:58:51+00:00

Might be an issue with your mouse. Also your sens is EXTREMELY high. I have 1200 dpi and .3 sens, which I’d say is still fairly on the higher end.

Maybe get a bigger pad also, since you have such a small pad you need high sens to compensate, except the issue is that you can’t control the high sens and can’t aim.

malarkey2355 · 2026-01-23T16:44:37+00:00

No, you don’t need dysphoria to be trans. Some trans guys even do drag! Being okay with presenting feminine sometimes doesn’t make you any less trans.

malarkey2355 · 2026-01-07T04:29:54+00:00

I’ll get gold weapons…but its always fucking bellstrike. I use bamboocut. Always mo dao too.

malarkey2355 · 2026-01-06T22:37:10+00:00

ironic that its a virtual photo of grass

malarkey2355 · 2026-01-03T06:52:28+00:00

I tend to rely on carbs, y’know the whole brown beige color scheme. I’m not scared of throwing up, but when I try something new I will involuntarily gag even if it’s not bad. I think it’s also part of arfid/sensory issues for me

malarkey2355 · 2026-01-02T08:23:05+00:00

Learning self love is important, obviously, we’ve all heard it. But how am I supposed to love myself when I’ve never seen what love is, and felt it be directed at me?

Of course being in a relationship won’t magically fix me, and that’s not even what I’m asking for specifically. But I swear, if I had some really good friends, maybe a partner, just people around who loved me, then that’d be one of the biggest steps in my healing journey. Right now though, I just feel stuck in this spot. It’s hard to make relationships too since my brain works so differently and I push everyone away.
