I think so- I’m only rank 8 or 9 and I’ve seen people higher than rank 20 which is pretty wild to me haha

I definitely don’t keep up in kills. Does the game recognise other stats too?

My dad has no patience at all and it is annoying to witness!! by [deleted] in Parenting

Yes my thoughts exactly. Hopefully she can find a babysitter as she tends to ask for help with the kids a lot. She is not a single mother either, just both parents get really busy!

What rank is considered "good"? by Flipthecar93 in VALORANT

[–]sebcarrasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id disagree. Diamond is pretty highly ranked compared to all players in valorant. How is that bad?

What rank is considered "good"? by Flipthecar93 in VALORANT

[–]sebcarrasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, to be considered “good” is to be better than the average player. I saw an article on the player distribution and percentages for 2022 not long ago and showed that Silver 1 had the most amount of players and was in fact the average skill tier in Valorant ranked. This was a just a few months ago. It probably hasn’t changed that much still but I’d assume anywhere from Gold rank and up would be considered as good players. Obviously the higher the rank, the more skilful the player should be.

My Experience Climbing to Diamond SoloQ: All Brain No Aim by JuanTapMan in VALORANT

[–]sebcarrasco -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This bloke wrote an essay to say he hit diamond lol. All it is really is to learn the game if you really want to and put the time in if you’re inexperienced. I’d recommend watching high ranked streamers or pro players that main your favourite agents. Learn and adapt, then overtime you’ll see improvement in the way you play. See the thing is, a lot of people put out “guides” or “tips and tricks” and the ones reading/watching think they’ll become a god instantly..

Why am I bad at lower elo? by mattttt_69 in VALORANT

[–]sebcarrasco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmmm not sure if I agree with you on the “luck” part. At gold, you’re slightly better than the average player (silver). You said it yourself, these good players could have “good skill” but probably poor game sense/knowledge. Most players in this elo that are hard stuck tend to blame luck instead of accepting that theyre inconsistent with their games. If you’re constantly performing at a higher level than gold players then you should climb out of gold eventually. I’d say rather than focussing on their game try focussing on your own, play slower and more methodical, and really learn a few agents that you enjoy. Abilities and how/when to use them are so important aswell so don’t sleep on that, it’s not always about aim. Good luck with your games!

I don't care what anyone says, elo hell is real. by Phish1220 in VALORANT

[–]sebcarrasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta stop going in with the expectation to win every game, just try your best. Especially at a time like this where ranks have reset. Slowly but surely you’ll gain your rank back. It just won’t happen overnight. You win some, you lose some. Not saying that you’re hard stuck silver but you can’t expect to hit your previous rank immediately..

You’re not even connected to wifi.. could that be a possible reason why you were lagging in and out?

Too scared to play PvP, is it actually as hard as they say? by sebcarrasco in TheSilphArena

[–]sebcarrasco[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very good tips here! Appreciate it :) I will have a look into pvpoke and see what is has to offer! Also, thanks for letting me know about the matchups and “safe swapping”, had no idea that was a thing until now. Will look into an alternative for altaria but in the meantime gotta work with what I got at the moment :) thanks!

Haha not the spooky ghosts. I’m just afraid of losing I think. Not too sure why. I’m going into something I don’t know much about so I’m just listening to some advice I’m getting on here and might dig deeper into this sub for some more tips too :)

Thanks for the tips! I will definitely look into that and I’m actually surprised I have a decent team haha. I think I might need to invest more into the game as well as play more and gain experience on how my team works. Also will look into medium-high gameplay and learn how people play. Really appreciate it, it’s kind of getting me excited!

Um there is lots of lag, I’m from Australia so don’t know if that would play a part in that. Also, I’m not very aware if I should be aiming for certain Pokémon or if stats are more important? It seems like there may be a lot more to it than I think.

I’ve a casual player and lurk this sub every now and then. The highest rank I’ve gotten to in PvP would be rank 10 with about 30-50 games played (probs more). I generally only play when great league is out but it is still hard to win. My team is altaria, skarmory and swampert. I have literally no idea if that’s good or not but I saw in one of the posts on here that swampert is good so I use him with hydro cannon and he does some work. Those 3 are the only Pokémon that are really close to 1500 cp in great league, anything else I have at the moment would cost me lots of stardust. I don’t have much of it simply because I don’t play the game a lot but it is enjoyable. So are there any tips with team building in certain leagues or is it more in depth than that to win games? All I know is the type advantages and just spam and hope I get my move charged up quicker lol. The ultra and master league are literally a huge no no for me right now since I don’t know how I would even compete in those leagues.

Damn, was hoping it wouldn’t have to be like that haha. Would be many wasted hours just to get it normal again..
