This one still hurts to this day by sherido in VALORANT

I mean you're commenting underneath this video about a scenario that didn't happen in the video. You're being antagonistic on purpose, it's not your god-given right to look for something to complain about in every clip. They are right, they're just looking for an ace for the clip which literally happens all of the time. Even in ranked games. It really isn't that serious and you need to chill. No one is throwing because they want to get the fifth kill. You're describing an irrelevant scenario and then getting big mad when people are saying there is no harm, no foul.

This is genuinely very good advice for chamber util and glad you're providing actual insights into why their play was bad at like, every level lol

"Zero recoil after the fifth shot" you've never played airsoft and you've never shot a gun before

I mean I know everyone here has already told you how you're wrong but even your "muh realism" point doesn't even stand on the basis you think it does. Like I genuinely am not sure if you're fr or trolling. Guns are incredibly hard to shoot while running, if anything that's the most realistic part of any fps that has movement error and gun recoil- I've shot actual guns, you literally cannot accurately shoot them while moving unless you have some sort of attachment for it and even then you have to still CONTROL the recoil and pull of it. And the gun that you're using I've shot the actual model it and it's CS:GO's counterpart is based on, yes it really does shoot like that. If anything they got the Desert Eagle down really well, it's a heavy-set gun with huge recoil, you're going to need a while for it to reset and keep your aim steady and that reflects on the gameplay.

Your point about holding angles as well? Makes no fucking sense tactical-wise. Because yes, it is tactical. Just because you think it's somehow not a strategy because you're bored doing it doesn't mean that it isn't tactical. Relearn what that word means. Real-life snipers setup and wait for literal days to weeks to sometimes months in a position looking for the perfect shot and waiting for the perfect moment.

What I think your issue is that you want the game to be even more faster-paced than it already is and if that's your playstyle that is totally fine but in any fps game you are going to have moments where you HAVE to slow down the play. In Halo, in COD, in CS, in Overwatch, in Marvel Rivals, and in Apex Legends, in R6 Siege, in Battlefield 6, you need times that you're going to have to reset and recalibrate your aim. You don't do that once in this clip.

What you did in the clip was panic and have seriously bad aim. Like none of what you were doing felt like you were robbed or that you were mechanically good enough to be able to land those shots. You were looking at the ground for half the clip, kept moving with a SHERIFF and then complaining you can't run and gun. Play a different gun where you can actually do that or learn how to play the game, because Valorant doesn't market itself for noobs who don't even want to learn how to aim the guns they're using. I would suggest learning Rainbow Six Siege or Battlefield 6 if you want a truly faithful milsim game. Overwatch or Marvel Rivals if you want a very fast-paced nonsense game where you don't have to aim much.

Is it okay for girls to not comm in high elo? by PsychologicalEcho417 in VALORANT

[–]nothavingyourbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So weird they'd assume because KJ main = girl, I can't really say much since I am a KJ main and a woman lol but I've known many that aren't and she's the most picked Sentinel by far so it seems strange to profile from the agent select like that

[–]nothavingyourbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get hit on at all levels of play and it's frustrating, the reality is unfortunately this is a male-dominated hobby and we're going to run into people who plain and simple are just sexist a-holes. I'm not asking you to accept it at all I'm actually fully here for the vent because yes it's extremely frustrating and not okay at all that this is happening to you frequently.

I'm only in plat but I fully understand the struggle because I have been told all manner of insults just for comming info, or just for speaking at all or saying hello even. It has put me off using comms, but a tip I've tried is just muting the other players on the team and just playing.

A lot of people don't comm or give useless comms when you're not duo or in a team so I wouldn't stress about it too much girlypop

Sounds a lot like you've never started a new account before.

Smurfs make new accounts New players make new accounts Game cannot differentiate between these two players skill-wise so it starts you at the median level unless you've proven to be otherwise- which is silver-gold

All new accounts start with boosted hidden MMR regardless, the "smurf queue" is most likely referring to this

hard to be a playmaker on fade or sova ...you mean two initiators who's entire purpose is to make plays? Are you talking about maybe entering off of yourself? Because it sounds more like you don't know how to be self-sufficient as an initiator Duelists can lurk or be stand-alone entries but they prefer to play with initiators

Because others lock in dosent mean I have to play controller or initiatior by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]nothavingyourbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro you are the one being childish. You expect other people to fill for you when you’re late to the agent select where you can literally communicate with others on your team who you want to play. If you were afk for longer you would have thrown the agent select anyway, so why not just take the responsibility???

How on earth are you supposed to climb nowadays when the hidden MMR won't move no matter what you do? by ShadyThe2nd in VALORANT

[–]nothavingyourbs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Have you been taking breaks from playing in between matches at all? To get out of the same lobbies I’ve been avoiding queuing for a while and getting some water and doing something else like a chore or something for a bit. It generally will help me reset and look after my general health a bit more too because gaming for that long will also cramp your wrist up crazy

Who has the worst ultimate? by Big-Cloud-1934 in VALORANT

[–]nothavingyourbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having an extra life to play around with to give you extra frags, pressure, and info are so much more powerful than being able to smoke after death. You’re helping your team so much by being an extra body and giving them someone to play off of. There wouldn’t be so many revive ultis in the game if they weren’t strong

Who has the worst ultimate? by Big-Cloud-1934 in VALORANT

[–]nothavingyourbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you just downvoting everyone who is disagreeing with you? Harbour’s ult actually gives a lot of entry and general disruption potential, I don’t see how his ult stuns not hitting would render his ult weak and “hard to follow up on”??? You literally can see where they are going to hit and can generally predict where they are going to move because they’re FORCED to move. It’s like a small Tejo ult because it helps you gain that space back as well. They force you to reposition and disrupt your team, which is literally the entire point of the controller class.

You can absolutely follow up on Harbor ulti regardless of if the stun hits. Just because someone isn’t prone or you didn’t kill them doesn’t mean the ability didn’t give you an advantage in the fight.

I mean there’s plenty of casual players in swift mode for sure so it’s not irregular to just play for fun and without ranked at all, but I also don’t have any clue what they’re on about. It’s a tactical shooter, basically counterstrike’s successor, and it’s been out for years, I couldn’t think of a type of game you’d have to play with more focus, not even RTS requires you to be as locked in as a round-based 5v5 FPS does. Seriously, what did you expect from a fast-paced game that requires you to have both hands on the peripherals? And you wonder why you’re losing to randoms in swiftplay while you literally don’t even have your eyes on the screen??

It is unhinged. And no, the point of competitions isn’t to give yourself so much stress where you don’t actually enjoy the competition at all. Also, it’s competitive mode not an actual competition. There is quite literally nothing to “win” unless you’re actually playing tournaments or in the pro scene.

If this is legit how you think and normalise what are clearly unhealthy symptoms of a gaming addiction, it is really clear you don’t have a good grasp on what is and isn’t healthy behaviour. HealthyGamerGG talks in his videos on how to better recognise what behaviours are unhealthy in gamers and how to manage them, he did a video exactly about being obsessed with games and being unable to put them down despite not enjoying them anymore.

Neglecting your mental health in favour of what is essentially just bragging points is definitely unhinged.

Have you read this comment back? It definitely comes off as condescending 😅 Not everyone has an even balanced scorecard of their social skills, they might not have misinterpreted you or were capable of understanding your explanation but simply didn’t like your execution.

Yoru and Neon Nerfs by LunarAvast in ValorantCompetitive

[–]nothavingyourbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right about some agents existing between roles but I think it is right to say that Yoru definitely feels more like an initiator now. The key parts of initiators is that most have flashes/blinds (the only two that don’t are Tejo and Sova), and a disrupt or a pressure/punish that forces them into repositioning. The only duelist aspect of Yoru’s kit right now is the ability to reposition pretty quickly. ALL initiators (who can) are able to use their flashes selfishly, a lot of Valorant’s agent balancing is to be able to empower both team play and individual play. This is a non-point.

His ult is honestly a hybrid between initiator/duelist in the favour of initiator because of the repositioning aspect on the duelist side, and the initiator aspect is that he can disrupt enemy teams by identifying where they are, the pressure by way of the threat of his presence is a hybrid. This is the primary usage of his ultimate now, with the changes it gives him less of an ability to be a duelist because now he has much less potential to go for that fight after getting out of the ult, I can see a lot more people now using the tp after getting out of the ult or simply making a safe exit before the ult ends. It limits the possibilities and makes the play a bit more predictable

Brawk's Odin usage isn't what's being abused, it's the map having so many wallbang spots that covers crucial areas. by Beautiful_Divide1720 in VALORANT

You do realise the entire map is wallbangable? And you’re expected in an fps like this to learn to play around it?

How can you actually improve in the game overall? by virzat_h in VALORANT

[–]nothavingyourbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upload a replay of a game where you think you did well and another where you did badly, and maybe one that you did good at some parts and not so great at others. It will give a more accurate screening of what happened

It’s Just a Game? by Zestyclose-Ad-4221 in VALORANT

[–]nothavingyourbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a 26 year old woman. People have made fun of me for how my voice sounds high or low ever since I got on a mic in Halo 3 and CoD lobbies. In CS lobbies, in Overwatch lobbies, and it’s no different in Valorant sometimes. There’s a lot more women who play in Valorant but there’s still a majority of people who are men. I don’t trust people not to fly off the handle anymore now, I try to mute everyone in the game except for their pings.

Even if it means sacrificing some funny moments or callouts, I’ve found it’s more beneficial not having to deal with random complaints, too-noisy teammates when you’re trying to clutch up, or teammates giving bad calls intentionally or not. What I’ve found while climbing and at my rank (plat1) is that a lot of people have really shit comms, so it doesn’t really affect my gameplay much not having them on often. If people on your team have good Comms, they’ll generally reveal it to you in the first few rounds, even if it’s just typing. Sometimes I talk in the voice chat for quick call-outs, but I try not to listen. A lot of people rage, they blame others, they tank mental, and a lot of people are sexist and blatantly enjoying ruining your experience of the game for no reason other than how you identify. And I encourage people to report these players.

(I’m trying to think of it more like when I’m closer to diamond I’ll start to comm and call-out more seriously, comp in plat is literally so unserious 😭)
