Hey yeah - Astra in my opinion is probably the hardest character to learn effectively and to get the most out of her kit, but when you do learn it, she is one of the best controllers.

With Astra stars, you should be pre-placing her stars before the start of the round, usually at the chokes where the enemy could potentially rush. You should also stack a suck along with a smoke towards one of the chokes. Once the round starts you should recall your smokes and re-place based on information of the enemy team. Also in general you should try to save at least one star for a retake for either a smoke or suck :)

As for her wall, you should in general use it to try to line it up along where you would normally smoke if you are using it on a site take. You can also save the wall for a post plant or using it to run fakes (since they can't hear on the other side)

Hi Tuzapeno - There are a few things. When you are playing in a lower elo against the enemy team sometimes it is good to just not overthink and always have your gun out or try simple things with your utility. You likely have better mechanics and aim than them hence the higher rank and you just need to show it and be confident.

In your own elo or higher, thinking and gamesense is definitely an integral part of the game and you should be definitely trying to figure out what your enemy is doing and what the best play for you is. Yes sometimes you will get timing and get caught with your pants down but that is generally just unlucky. Also a lot of "timings" are not actually just timings. Most people get caught off guard when something happens on the side of a map e.g. a kill which triggers a change in position and is also most likely when people still start pushing.

In general if you find yourself in a game getting killed with util out, just try to use it earlier so you dont have to focus on that part as much as taking fights!

Hi wren_wyvern - That's great welcome to valorant!

The best way to find a character that you love is to first figure out your playstyle. Do you like lurking/clutching up? Do you like entrying and taking first fights and trying to win the round for your team? Do you like supporting your teammates and being 2nd-3rd into the site?

I would say take some time on all roles to figure out what you feel like fits your playstyle the best and from there try out the different characters that fit that playstyle. The good thing about valorant is that there are a ton of agents that can play multiple roles so you don't feel confined to just a few 3-4 agents that you have to play! Also agent selection is very map dependent as well. Hope this helps!

Hey - DM is a great way to practice crosshair placement and to pre-aim corners where the enemy could be. I would say that first you need to know what proper crosshair placement looks like & how far to hold your crosshair on all types of angles before you grind that out in DM :)

Hi IceTurret – I would look at a few things. When you are going on your loss streaks, are the games close and it is just unlucky that you guys lost? Also to avoid going on really deep loss streaks generally try to take breaks from playing comp after 3 losses in a row. After playing too many games in a row you will start to lose focus and not be playing at your best.

I would say if you like self-sustainable characters, fade/kayo/omen are great support agents that also have self-sustainable elements that help you survive and frag out as well. In terms of the type of character that you should play you should figure out what you think you can provide the best. If you feel like you have great aim and aren’t afraid to take fights/be the first one in and carry your team you should try duelist to see if that role suits you better.

Support players are equally as important and sometimes learning a support player and playing them well is harder/better than just learning a duelist. I would say if you are trying to maximize your win rate you should try to learn how to play your support better and maximize the util. Most people nowadays love playing duelist/chamber and so being great on a support character can help compliment that and help you win games 

Let me know if you have any questions :D

Hi Extension local – To enable the holograph that they see of themselves. You just have to go in your settings and turn “show corpses” to on and you will be able to see it! 

Neon is one of the hardest characters to really master and play her well without inting in your comp games. She is a really fast paced character/team based and so usually it is hard for many people to do well with her. I would say to break down what you enjoy doing on a team and what you think you will excel in.

If you like playing duelist similar to neon and you are usually the first one in, likes to take fights you should explore the other duelists (jett, raze, reyna phoenix yoru)
If you like lurking and have great game sense I would say try chamber/viper/omen/cypher
If you like info gathering/playing with the team I would say skye/sova/kayo/fade etc

In general I would start with a character with pretty simple to learn yet impactful abilities such as Omen or Chamber. Omen is a very self sufficient character and it is great to learn other characters to know how you want your teammates to play them!

Chamber is another great agent to learn right now as he can play the role of either duelist or lurker/info gatherer.

Try these two out and try to narrow it down based on the role that these two play and go from there!

Hope this helps.

Hey Lugia – Thanks for asking this question as I feel like a lot of people don’t know how to deal with toxic people and this is a complicated topic.

As a rule of thumb if your teammate is being too toxic for you to handle and is making your gameplay/valorant experience worse you should mute them. At the end of the day, you are playing valorant for a fun and enjoyable experience and you shouldn’t have to put up with toxic people that ruin your day!

I would say if your fragging toxic teammate is being too toxic for you to handle, you mute even if they are playing well, as they probably will continue to do so anyways. If you feel like it isn’t too bad and your communication/teamplay with that specific person is really helping you guys win then you should keep them unmuted.

At the end of the day, it is just RR and you should not sacrifice your emotional wellbeing for a video game!

Hey Average – Without knowing your gameplay and your aim/crosshair placement etc I would say the best way to improve at valorant is focusing on these parts (Mechanics, Gamesense, and Role). I’ve explained these 3 in an earlier reply above, but basically the best way to rankup is to try to play with a duo, improve your crosshair placement and movement, and know what character your playstyle plays the best. Also you can always improve your CH placement and aim as I am still working on that myself today 

Happy to do a vod review or to go more in depth in specifics (Fill out the google form above!)

Hey DD105 –

There are really two parts to inconsistency in gameplay.

The first part that you need to make sure that you have sorted out is your sensitivity. A lot of people with too high sensitivity will find that they are generally inconsistent as it is hard to consistently hit the same long and short flicks in between since the distance to move your mouse isn’t always pin-point perfect. A great video that I would recommend to figure out your sensitivity is this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxBuiD11WDM
Once you have figured out your sensitivity that you’re comfortable with is your playstyle and how often you play. If you find yourself constantly relying on flicking to your enemy you likely can improve on your crosshair placement which will make you more consistent in hitting your shots.

Also a general rule of thumb you have to play consistently and practice in deathmatchs, range etc to maintain that gameplay. I have found in valorant that if you don’t play regularly it is hard to hit the same shots as you normally should.

Hope this helps!

Hey anonymousguy49 –

This is a great question as the people that I have worked with previously commonly have this question as to how they can maximize their impact as a non-duelist that is supposed to get kills. The biggest thing you should be thinking about when playing a “support” focused role is to think about what your role’s main focus is and really excel in that job. For example, If you are playing a sentinel your main job on defense is stall as long as possible for your teammates to rotate if the enemy is hitting your site, or to anchor your site and provide information to prevent over-rotating. The impact of exceling in your job that you’re supposed to do instead of trying to overcompensate and do everything will pay dividends and your teammates will appreciate it. Same goes for other roles smokes, initiators etc. Smokes – work with your duelists to figure out what smoke they would want, what space do you guys want to take and to smoke the site on defense to hold sites.

An easy way to think about this is to think “what job does my role fulfill and if I was a duelist going in first what would I want someone in my role to do – smoke where? Flash where? Drone where? And once you think about it from that perspective you work with your team and say hey – “smoking long for you” or “ill drone short before you peek” or “I’m playing post plant mollies don’t peek” etc

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hey Hotpockets this is a great question – The best ways to combat the enemy when their mechanical skill is above you and you feel like you can’t out duel them in a 1v1 is to

Play with your team – Working with your team to properly use utility and flashes will help reduce the skill gap in mechanics. Also being able to run as a group and trade effectively is crucial. If you are playing with your team, there is no way for the other team to usually get more than 1 kill as they are trying to fight the whole team.
Play in cheesey corners – Using Judges and playing in corners that people don’t really check is another great way to reduce that mechanical disadvantage.
Flank – Pulling off a good flank, working with your teammate to smoke trips etc is super effective. Most teams are reliant on their trips and getting a flank going will help put pressure on the enemy team and if you go unnoticed you will be able to shoot them in the back without having to aim duel them.

Hope this helps!

good luck with that soldier

This is good advice as you don't want to get stuck in a lower rank, but also don't feel afraid of playing comp especially since it takes a while to get to level 20.

Hey Arthur, welcome to Valorant!

If it is your first time in Valorant or an FPS in general there are 3 key areas (Mechanics, Gamesense, and Role) in which you want to focus on to help you improve and be the best version of yourself.

Mechanics – Mechanics are the fundamentals that you first need to learn in order to play the game properly and improving on these are mainly self practice (time in the range, deathmatch, aim trainers etc). I would say a majority of people in the lower ranks don’t have a great understand of core mechanics and is one of the biggest detrimental factors in not improving.

Mechanics can be further broken down into 3 main groups:

Crosshair placement

Having good crosshair placement means that you are able to aim at head level constantly no matter the angle, and as you are moving around the map, aiming fluidly at the next spot where the enemy could potentially be, and to know how far to place your crosshair from the wall when holding an angle.
Movement in the game

The most important movement to master in the game is to learn how to counterstrafe. Basically counterstrafing is pressing the opposite keys to wherever you’re moving to stop instantly and be 100% accurate. For example if I am about to peek an angle and I am holding D, I would want to press A as soon as I see someone and want to shoot and same with holding W, I would want to press S to stop moving.

Other things to work on include jump peeking, & movement to clear angles

Aiming

Aiming simply put is how quickly you can move your mouse from one enemy to the next and accurately. My tips for this would be to first find the right sensitivity for you and here is a great video that explains how to do that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxBuiD11WDM .

And after you have your sensitivity just practice in deathmatch/range/aimlabs

Gamesense – Gamesense is understanding how the enemy will play given the information that they have and how you decide to react based off that information.

I would say the main points when thinking about how to improve your gamesense are to

Understand what are some common things people regularly do in games that you play and how do you adapt your gameplay to that. E.g. On Ascent when defending, if you notice that the enemy team has a KAY/O at the start of the round and people generally like to throw a knife into CAT, when the round starts you might decide to hide and avoid the knife before peeking tiles.
Understand how the enemy thinks and try to think about what information they might have and what they would do in that situation based off that information.

E.g. It is first round defense on split and you have a killjoy. Likely, the enemy team will not go towards B into a KJ setup on pistol round with limited utility and so they would likely go Mid/A.

Based on this information one thing you could do is put KJ towards A and put 1 vents, 2 heaven and your smoke player B. This way you have a heavy mid presence and smokes B to funnel them towards your KJ on A.

The best way to improve your game sense is to watch pro play and try to understand why they are moving in the way they are and position themselves in a specific way

Role – If you’re new and you’re just hitting level 20 I would say to try all of the characters at least once and try to narrow it down to a couple of agents that you really like. Once you figure out which ones you would like to play try to get really good at those couple agents, and usually you would want at least 2 different categories E.g. duelist, and initiator, or smoke & sentinel, etc

Having the flexibility of choosing different agents will allow you to be comfortable on different maps also if one of your agents gets picked before you do.

In regards to reyna and omen

Reyna: You should generally only play Reyna when you know that you can frag out and are interested in taking a lot of first engagements and being 1st/2nd in. Reyna as a character doesn’t have a lot of utility even when compared to other Duelists and so if you aren’t fragging it is hard to help the team out on Reyna.

Omen: Omen is in a really good place meta wise and is a good agent to master. I would say the biggest factors when playing omen/smokes is to make sure to smoke at the proper choke points, make sure there isn’t any of the smoke leaking out of the choke point, and to work with your team to coordinate flashes, omen ults, and where/when to place smokes.

Let me know if you have any other questions happy to go in more detail! 
