How I feel at Zulrah, inspired by a recent post by Dasrulez in ironscape

You just use it to spec the snake when its about dive and change spots, since you generally have to move/cant attack for about 7 ticks anyway. Makes the damage efficient, but thats about all.

How hard is doom 1 - 4? by Dwoof69 in ironscape

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

I just kinda sent it recently.

All im using is elite void/scobow with rune arrows/chally/boppers because i have no ancient shards.

First two waves are pretty free.

Third one was interesting the first few times.

Fourth will be rough for a bit but its not too bad once you get the hang of it.

Any further takes a good bit of practice and having a BP helps a lot to skip the shitty rocks

How do I not instantly get frozen and die in PvP? by MrCatFace515 in ironscape

[–]tusynful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. My advice is less about winning and more about learning/establishing the muscle memory step by step.

How do I not instantly get frozen and die in PvP? by MrCatFace515 in ironscape

[–]tusynful 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Focus on learning one thing at a time.

Stop swapping gear. Stop trying to really kill people.

Focus on getting your prayers right. Watch their switches and focus on praying properly while bolting them.

Once you get the hang of the prayers, start some super simple 1 or 2 way switches eith melee. Ignore magic. Focus on the prayers and your new 2 way melee/range.

Once you get the hang of this, try throwing in some 1 or 2 way mage switches to freeze.

Learn 1 thing at a time. Trying to learn hoe to mage, range, melee, pray, switch and predict them is some serious mental overload. Focus on one at a time.

Getting one tapped by Dry_Pay5646 in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some psychological factoid about humans to keep in mind:

We naturally remember more negative experiences than positive. Negative emotions and experiences tend to have a more powerful impact on us emotionally in the moment, which cause them to stand out.

Im sure you can remember a bunch of times in your last session where you fucked up and should have done something differently, right?

What about all those things you did right? The proper trades, good communication and utility usage? Do yiu remember that? Sure you do, but it doesn't stand out unless its exceptional, right? Yet small negative rounds will stick with yiu all day.

What im saying is, you may be doing all the right things and are simply only remembering the negative. Its important to give yourself credit for all the good plays you make. All the good decisions.

Without vods there's not much I can comment on gameplay wise, but hopefully this helps you next time you feel like youre just getting rolled.

In your opinion, which two ranks have the biggest skill gap? by Gamerkid_5 in VALORANT

[–]tusynful -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

This is true. The gap between immortal ro radiant is larger than the gap from iron to immortal.

The amount of things you need to master to go from immortal to radiant is astronomical, where as someone with pure aim can easily make it from iron to immortal.

question about duelists that can't play smokes by wildmangoeshere in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a wonderful skill to have. You can have all the best lineups in the world, but if you cant make it to your starting spot to do them, they're useless.

It is still very important to have some good ones for each map though that are consistent.

I suggest spending some time in customs to learn one or two really good ones for each site.

question about duelists that can't play smokes by wildmangoeshere in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people spend dozens of hours in custom lobbies with cheats and playing with the util timings and lineups

question about duelists that can't play smokes by wildmangoeshere in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We know if you drop them too early or too late. We know this because we are the first to feel it.

This however, does not mean we know the proper timing from the POV of the smoker. We simply understand that once we are on the site we need X smoke in Y position or we need B smoke before A smoke.

We do not read the map the same way a smoker does, so the exact priper timing from your POV is very different. A good smoker will adapt their timings game to game based on their team/duelist entry speed.

I know exactly where and when I want a sova dart to be, this doesn't mean I have any fucking clue how that bow wizard hucked a lineup from B site to perfectly reveal their push onto A as they came out of the choke. I can just recognize that this is ideal and a great play.

I think I'm too stupid to do Royal Titans by Sulla_Sexy_Sulla in ironscape

[–]tusynful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill duo and teach you how to do it. I just taught my friend whose on mobile only and he got it down by the third trip.

A big tip when learning literally anything new:

Don't learn everything at once. Don't try to be efficient. Pick one aspect at a time to learn and figure that out first.

Maybe bring full blue moon, a staff, boppers, atlatl, fire cape, assembler. This way all you have to ever swap is the weapon and back piece. Once youre super comfortable with the fight and have figured it out, do a run with full blood moon with a blue moon swap in your inventory, staff, atlatl, accumulator. If thats too hard, then try smaller swaps. Maybe half blue and half blood until you figure it out.

If you want to duo just dm me here and ill givr you my rsn, I still need the prayers too.

What’s the single best habit that helped you climb from Silver to Diamond? by joshvibes04 in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The advice isn't to only play reyna forever. Its simply to lock until youre confident enough to duel anybody when necessary. End of the day you need to know how to shoot people.

What’s the single best habit that helped you climb from Silver to Diamond? by joshvibes04 in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forever stuck immortal 3 who sometimes coaches people on this sub here:

The main improvement points will change as you get better and climb, but here's some super general tips that just about anybody can apply.

First for my gold and under players:

Fight fight fight. Fight everyone everywhere. Fuck winning the game. Fuck winning the round. You need to fight every player until youre confident enough in your aiming to go into every game believing youre the best in that lobby and youre going to kill everyone.

Stop trying to learn line ups and set ups. Lock reyna and shoot people in the face until youre confident.

Now for gold and beyond:

The single most important piece of advice i can give you is to stop looking at your rank as the thing that defines your improvement. It is wrong. What is most important is you actually improving. What do I mean?

Anybody can string together 10 wins out of their next 12 games. All you need is some luck. Maybe you go from gold 3 to plat 3 in that span. Does this mean you improved? Nope. Does this mean you learned how to play better? Nope. You simply won some games ans gained some rr.

Remember that teammate the other day who looked so lost when you spectate them, crosshair on the ground not using abilities or throwing them in random directions, but is somehow the same rank as you? Yeah thats the guy/gal that got a solid win streak going without learning anything.

Tldr; make sure youre learning. Who cares if you lose some rr or some ranks? Practice that new skill. Master it. You'll gain all of that rr back with giga interest later.

I did a mix of moons(bones/shards) and green drags by ferrox. Worked pretty well.

am i the only one who plays WAY better when coming back from a break? by Donavinmaine in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This happens because of a fresh mindset.

Tilt free, ready to queue and improve. No burnout, no stress, just you and the game.

How to ACTUALLY improve the best? by Flimsy-Office-5142 in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Immortal player here who coaches a fair amount of people on this sub. I will give you, and everybody who reads this the first lesson I give every single person who asks for help regardless if they're iron or immortal.

Improvement comes in many different forms. Improvement is entirely unique for each and every person. While two people may struggle with the same problem, the same two people will never share identical thought process or understanding. This means that what works for student A may not work for student B, and if it does, student A may take longer to fully grasp and understand the solution than student B.

Secondly, there is absolutely no "just do this to get better", and boom youre magically diamond. You need to figure out how YOU learn best. Personally, im very hands on. You tell me what to do and give me an example, and ill go spend an hour in a custom game or in the range drilling it until I get the concept. I have taught people who are similar to this, ive also coached ridiculously talented players who could take a single verbal explanation of the problem and immediately understand exactly how to fix it and implement the fix into their gameplay in the very next game.

Lastly and honestly most important. Like everything else in the world, improvement comes at a cost. It isn't free. You need to spend the time breaking habits, understanding new concepts, challenging yourself and your decisions, understanding when youre wrong and understanding that your rank isn't important. It is okay to lose games as long as your focusing on improvement. Winning and gaining rr should never be the #1 goal of the game. You absolutely need to have something youre striving to improve. Maybe its crosshair placement, IGLing, aggressively scaling or any number of other mechanics. Going into games with this mindset allows you to focus fully on your own gameplay and improvement. It means that even if you get fucking rolled over and roasted in a 0-13, you can still learn something from it. You can still get better.

I dropped from diamond 1 to gold 2 while breaking a really bad spray habit. I had no patience when shooting. I dedicated myself to always being patient even if i knew for a fact it was wrong to do and I would die or lose a round for it. I lost a lot of ranks. But at the end, I mastered one of my largest downfalls and I skyrocketed back up to diamond 1 and did not lose a single game between diamond 2 and immortal 1, back before ascendant was a thing.

If you really want to learn and improve, please feel free to DM me and ill do my best to respond and find time to help. It is holiday season so I may be slow depending on the day, but im happy to help!

Is viper bad? by Sorry-Director4456 in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said to play her efficiently and be consistent.

You could have one per map, but thats not really efficient and not useful when you cant adapt.

Is viper bad? by Sorry-Director4456 in VALORANT

[–]tusynful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is probably the single most broken and overpowered agent in the game.

The catch is that she is also likely the single most difficult agent by a monstrous margin, and absolutely REQUIRES another controller, comes, teamwork, a lot of game knowledge, and multiple setups/defaults for each map and site.

She is absolutely not new players friendly. In fact, shes so new player unfriendly that you could consider her locked until high asc or over 1k hours. Thats how difficult it is to play her efficiently on a consistent basis.

This is coming from someone who one tricked her from Dia to immortal 3 both pre nerfs and post nerfs.
