VALORANTI once dismissed this game, but now I realize it is a better "game" than csgo at the moment. 128 tick servers, quick matchmaking, the games aren't excruciatingly long, surrender option, and decent gunplay make for a pretty fun experience. I hope you all can also enjoy Valorant. In fact, it'd be great if we could make friends together to play ^_^
valorant is the true successor to 1.6 everything between that and valorant has been a meme, csgo gambling addicts are just in denial about this fact.
>>199349agreed
>>199349>surrender optionfucking pleb
>>199349It feels too cartoonish for my tasteI hate CS:GO because it's full of cheaters though so I don't play either of them
>>199446no no, people should be forced to endure every second of a 3-16 game. It's not a waste of time, you can always come back!
>>199463Is it?
>>199483Is this a genuine question or are you pretending it's not true
>>199485I havent run into any bots in cs recently at least
Fag game funded by CCP and overrun by 50$ per month hacks. Only sjw fuckwads and slant eyes play it.
>>199349HOLY SHIT A VALORANT THREADhow goes the climb boys? Currently on a 6 losing streak in comp, trying to get back to bronze so badly, fuck.
>>199547Compétitive Games are pointless. Get a real hobby. Getting a higher number won't fill the void and doesn't bring anything tangible in your life. Meanwhile you could be spending time on something that matters
>>199565Ironically, the purpose of all life is to get a higher number.
>>199349>is a better "game" than csgoThat bar isn't exactly high, you know.
>>199592>anime """""""""""art"""""""""""
>>199592do tell my dude
>>199565the pursuit of self improvement is the only thing that matters. to characterize it as "just getting a higher number" is the ultimate NPC take.
what sucks about valorant is the weird after death animation, looks like a fucking gta vice city
>>199473I'd rather just surrender than put up with the excruciating pain of a cheater on the enemy team just riding our asses for 16 rounds straight.
>>199349>Better>>>>Made by Riot Games
>>199565For me I like to challenge myself, I mean it's quality vidya time that I set aside in the first place so I might as well do my best and have a blast (and feel alpha as fuck) no need to be a nihilist queer.
>>200128I get you, but he's right. Competitive games are cool and everything, but sports or anything physical, real, feels way better. There's just something games don't quite fill, you know, almost as if your subconciouss knew they're not real.
>>199621>normalfag ''opinion´´
>>199349>installs root kit at kernel level for "anti-cheat">still cheaters everywhereNah miss me with that Tencent commie shit, Chang.
>>200006>not just dragging out the game while you play on your phone to make the cheaters sit through an entire matchImagine surrendering
>better than csgonot liking cs or wanting to shill your current favorite fps but that shit is just silly and makes zero sense, this shit is even based on cs but it's worse because shitty abilities
>>200340yeah, also feels like Dirty Bomb to me
>>200340Subzero>>200187fridge>>200218absolute zero
does it still have the forced kernel level rootkit?
>>200187>>200458this is the only thing stopping me from playing it desu.
>>200174anime is THE normalfag artstyle, delusional moron
Valorant is fantastic and I am having a blast climbing the ladder.I have a new thing for 2021 to build back muscles lost during gym lockdown AND climb the ladder: At the end of a game, do death - kills x 10, and if positive, do that many push ups.
>>200340If you had any type of understanding on how competitive FPS like CS works, you would realize that Valorant ability are just utilities that mainly replace grenades.
>>199349I just hate the map design
>>200959i like it. the mores you suck the more ripped you'll be.
how long do matches take? how many ppl are playing is it popular?
>>201443depends on the game modei'm a pleb silver ranked player and my matches are around the following lengthsUnranked/ranked - 35 to 45 on avg. My longest was about 55minutesSpike rush (short game mode) - 6-8 minutesDeathmatch: 5-6 minutes
new agent Yoru looks like fun.Get ready for flankmasters trying to be cheekyhttps://streamable.com/6ivmi2
>>201611holy shit I haven't seen this yet, he looks pretty cool
>>199829want ragdolls so when I get shot in the head I can give my friends ptsd
what agent should i buyi dont have any interest in abilities, i never buy any of them ever, i just gun people
>>201973then reyna, don't be a dumbass and use the E so you heal or go invuln after getting a kill
>>200959training in and of itself is rewarding to me. bring injured a couple times in my life and bedridden for long stretches has made me appreciate movement a lot. keep moving a non
>>199358does it have custom servers and server browsers? I'd jump into it if it has either but I haven't payed any attention to it since I just assumed it was another purely competitive game with no fuck-off modes
>>201973wait a week for >>201611 this guy
>>199349Played this after seeing this thread, pretty fun, though I wish the abilities weren't bought. Overall though, fun game.
So why the fuck isn't there a general for this game?
>>202053its a pretty competitive game, no point playing if you're not gonna try hard and get kills cause it won't be fun.>>202324yay
hello would you like to play valorant with me?
>>199565>Meanwhile you could be spending time on something that matters>as he posts in /vm/
>>202761yea ! itd be cool if we could get a small group going : ]
>>202722there was, but the thread always died. look up /vag/ on the archives, you'll find it
>>202787Might start them up again this game is worth it. Also:>5 fucking wins in a row>these comedy chevrons>still no fucking promoteGET ME OUT OF HERE
>>202794what comedy? JOKES OVA, YO DED!!!
>>202794there's an elo tracker that hit reddit a while ago, it's legit since it came from the same guy that gives valorant leaks.Takes the guesswork out how much you go up.https://youtu.be/cP3Ly3-4kSIEvery 100 elo is a new rank, for example right now I'm iron 3 trying to get back to bronze, I'm at 276 something. when I get to 300, I make it to bronze 1.
Jett is an anal queen
>>202822"hold those ankles"

>>200148some games, valorant included, have certain feedbacks that make it much more gratifying for some than real sports are. feedbacks being things like sound effects and visual effects, like the incredibly satisfying kill marker or spike sounds on valorant or the hit markers on overwatch. they're just super well engineered responses that feel much better and push some further much easier than anything in real life sports. of course sports lead to more healthy outcomes but that doesn't mean much when it comes to someone's personal journey for improvement and happiness that means null.
>>202842>silverLmao shitter
It's genuinely hilarious how fast this garbage faded into obscurity. Literally who wanted counter strike but for gay people?
>>203060>obsucritywhat? Valorant beats csgo's numbers on twitch 24/7>lol this nigger watches twitchTenZ is cute shuddup
>>203071>what? Valorant beats csgo's numbers on twitch 24/7Lmao
The look in her fucking eyes manfucking detain me kj, please.
Would people be interested in a /vag/? Genuinely don't understand why this game seems to have 0 fuckin players on this basket weaving forum
>>203179KJ has the best ass in the game. Face looks like a mouse though her art is way cuter
>>203698there used to be one but it just diesit got merged in with csgog but then that dies too
>>203703My question is why though? This game seems pretty popular but it can't manage a thread on /vg/.
>>203704i guess the demographics of 4chan and tacshooters don't really overlap. /vag/ ended up being more "lol cartoon cs bad!!!!!" seething than actual game discussion anyway
>>203712it's a shame too, I feel like this game would have a lot of shitposting potential. I don't want to get my Valorant fix from reddit for fuck's sake
How does this compare to paladins and overwatch?
>>203795on a scale of 1-10, 1 being pal/ow, 10 being cs, val is like a 9the only thing similar between them is different characters having different abilities, that functionally replace cs utility
>surrender optionYeah no fucking thanks. I'd rather not let my time playing the game be decided by salty fucking tryhards pissing their pants we're off the meta or something.A Surrender system is literally only for crybaby fuckwits who think they have time to play and win but not the time to play and lose. Let them leave early and take penalties for it.
>>203830
>>2037124chan has weird demographics that lead to some generals surviving and some not. They're on fucking Doki Doki Literature Club thread #1436 and the Legends of Runeterra general survives, while Teamfight Tactics is impossible to talk about here despite getting significantly more viewership/traction on Twitch or Reddit. Not quite sure why.
>>203868iiii wanna talk about tft. I play demacian silverwing and caw all game to annoy people. one time someone and his friends threatened to find out where i live
>>203874An extremely based choice, I play the Dango but I used to play Silverwing before I opened the sphere furball. Haven't played for a month since I tilted and ropped from D1 to P1, going to play some more when S 4.5 comes out.I'd talk more but this is a Valorant thread and I've already fucked the topic enough.
>>203877thanks!! dangos a chill pick as well : ) Rn im at plat 4 but havent plateued yet. I wish they would rotate the sets every week or something
>>201973Reyna. She’s basically the default CS entry fragger setup
I like CS, but only casually, when I don't need to care how well I do. No way I'm fucking with that chink bullshit.
>>199349does valorant have community servers?
>>204019no, sadly
>>203830It has to be a full 5 person surrender, so it's not going to happen unless everyone agrees you're getting dicked. Surprisingly don't see it come out that often.
>>202980you have never hit a 3point shot or layupped someone in the post. no game can compare.
>>203060>obscurityI am a boomer with 5 digit hours in 1.6 and 3k in CS:GO and I've been playing exclusively Valorant since last summer and so does everyone in my boomer social circle. Also the first "big tournament" First Strike had higher viewership than the last 2 big tournaments in CS. Look it up if you don't believe me. The simple fact is that it's just a better game than CS:GO, it's being aggressively developed by a developer who has clear goals for the game, e-sport orgs in NA and EU are scrambling to get in on it and we're still just on the ground floor. Once LANs become a thing again it's all over for CS:GO. Enjoy your denial phase.
>>201973>i never buy any of them ever, i just gun peoplehow's life in gold?
>>203712this. even /csgog/ had issues staying up when the thread was active.
>>199349Chinese shill detected. Fuck Riot. Fuck Tencent. Fuck China. Fuck the chinks for owning some of the largest multiplayer games in the world. Fuck them for putting driver-level anti-cheat in all of those people's computers so that they can spy on anything they say or do.It's fucking clown world. STOP PLAYING GAMES MADE BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT
>>205045while I am chinese, I am also a frog. Ribbit
>>199349I can't believe people like this game at all.>decent gunplayYou can't be fucking serious right?This is the main reason why I stayed in CS.The gunplay is worse than 1.6.You have set pattern(s) that are randomly chosen and the shots itself also have random bullet spread. Essentially spraying is following bottom left for the first 0.5 seconds and then praying. Even then with the random bullet spread point blank shots on medium distance can miss.>128 tick serversdoesn't matter with the dogshit rest of the netcode, horrible interpolation connected to adjustable client up rates, and terrible lag compensation for packet loss resulting in lots of bugs and quirks that CS would've handled fine.>surrender optionCS:GO has that, and you can revote unlike in Valorant. ALSO NO KICK OPTION>games aren't excruciatingly longZoomer attention span detected.Instead of max 30 rounds you have max 24, and if you have a balanced game you will inevitably hit overtime and get to 30 rounds.And you still have:>the kernel-based chinese spyware that autoupdates and doesn't stop people from actually cheating>with it a dogshit fog-of-war implementation>unbalanced classes, abandoned classes>"Win buttons" nullifying any strategy (killjoy)>questionably balanced abilities (sova)>poor map design for an ability-based game (At least overwatch got it somewhat right learning from TF2's mistakes)>hence the ability spam down chokes>washed out, generic artstyle (if there is any in RIOT's eyes)>artstyle breaks with the overpriced skins (otherwise people wouldn't buy them)>unlockable OP agents (R6/LOL style!)>and heavy CPU rape from the anticheat, killing performance for things like Discord or the game itself, which is very CPU bound lmao.And of course,>NONO>NOFUCKING>FUCKINGFUCKING>REPLAYREPLAY>REPLAYVIEWER>VIEWERVIEWER

>>199349>anime waifu garbage for shitters that got filtered by csgoNo thanks.
>>203877If you have a PBE account hop on and play 4.5 it’s bonkers. Adding to the need for a TFT thread ive been searching for an hour and this is the only mention of it I’ve seen. Currently D2 but decided 4.5 would be more fun than pushing to masters.
>>205298>""""CS"""":GO player complaining about interp in some other game right after he prefired short on dust 3 seconds before he even got there and still got the killLOL
slowpoke here, is the kernel level thing still around?
>>205380Yes. If you dont want it dont install the game. It hardly matters.
I love Valorant, but I hate the Chinese, what should I do?
>>199349I dont know much about 1.6, whats makes this more like 1.6 rather than csgo?
>>199446this, you're a pussy faggot op. retards will vote to surrender on every match that isn't a guaranteed win. it actively discourages getting better at the game. stop playing video games, and leave this board.
Played recently and there was someone who seemed to be cheating. Why even have a rootkit if cheaters still get through?
>>199565>You will stop playing, competitively.>You will find a hobby.>You will eat the bugs.>You will buy her nudes.>You will bow down, for BLM.
>>206910no, negro
>>206058Nuke china
>>199349The whole concept of hero shooters is retarded, especially for a csgo like game
>>206606Because people don't want to compensate for teammates that are gone. Why not just get it over with and get in another match that'll be fair? Sunk cost is dumb. >>199565Unironically the blackpill. Although time is limited, that shouldn't stop you from booting up a game you like though.
>>202722because it's a good game
>>200006>Valorant players don't understand sarcasmkek
>>199349My main gripe about Valorant is being stuck to play an agent for an hour. shit gets boring especially if your guy doesnt have a flash/useful utility skill, also awful when the guys who instalock entry frag agents dont know how to entry/always die.
thoughts on Yoru? is he good?
>>208257haven't played him, hard to tell. Is the update live now?
>>208291Yeah should be live now
Episode 2 is out, and the UI/QoL is just getting better imo. We finally have 5 duelists now too, so we shouldn't be seeing any new ones until mid next year if we're following Riot's plans of wanting to have 5 of each class.
Why isn’t there more porn of this shit
>>199349>it is a better "game" than csgo at the moment.wut? vaLULrant doesnt have custom servers. very boring just play gun all day and no custom shit. csgo still better.
>>208187This I like switching up my kit in CSGO and being limited so much even in unranked is fucking tedious. I'm fine with ranked being so long, but there needs to be a more lenient mode other than spike rush.
>>200174>pedophile "degenerate"
Anyone got the valorant general discord link? Anyone wanna queue?
>>203712>i guess the demographics of 4chan and tacshooters don't really overlap.It's really, really hard to talk about anything other than boogaposting. You could balance whine I guess? There's esports, what else? Propose map redesigns every other thread? Talk about Valorant lore...? tac shooters are games that don't change a whole lot over a couple of months.Memes and waifuposting are the bread and butter that feed a lasting general on /vg/. Even Overwatch which has significantly more to talk about has this issue. It has different metas and ability usage for every rank, replays that could be viewed and reviewed, talk on different hero mechanics, problems with maps way worse than Valorant has, fundamental gameplay flaws, a developer that ignores them and you know what? The general completely ignores it for forced memes and waifuposting. Shooters are hard to talk about long term when everything comes down to someone's rank and everyone's scared to post IGN's.R6 managed to keep a general up over the years somehow but even that's dying down.>/vag/ ended up being more "lol cartoon cs bad!!!!!" seething than actual game discussion anywayBeing dev'ed by riot wasn't gonna help it but the valvebabs seething was a nail in the coffin.>>205298>>poor map design for an ability-based game (At least overwatch got it somewhat right learning from TF2's mistakes)Overwatch has map design that's somehow worse than Valorant's million hard corners.There's a couple of good maps in the game but they have huge fundamental flaws, bad chokepoints, useless flanking routes and problems for short & medium range heroes because of huge sightines.
>>209140They really need to hire better map designers. Even the map layouts look so messy, boxy with no real sense of anything. I’d dare to say the game has no good maps and I’ve been enjoying playing it all this time.
WOOOOO LET'S DOUBLE OMEN SMOKE COOLDOWNS AND REDUCE ITS SPEED SO ALL TIMINGS ARE RUINED YEAH BABYTHEN FUCK HIS ECO TOO LETS DO IT WHEN A NEW TELEPORTING LURKER IS RELEASED FUCK YEAH LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>209517Yes. Let's not be Overwatch and refuse to nerf agents when they're the best in class because some autist's feelings might get hurt.
Ability character in a fps is cancer. Impossible to balanced out in a competitive form factor. CSGO is and will stay king. Long live the king
>>209517damn bro
>>209517Good, his paranoia was way too cheap and got too much value
>>209517Ffs you could buy all abilities AND armor first round. You couldn’t do that with any other agent, it was obviously too cheap. There was no reason to pick Brim over Omen before, now there’s more argument for it.
where my cypher bros at
>>209727whaddup senpai, how hard are you tilting flankmasters?
>>199349it's too easy.
>>200000>oof
>>199349game sucks shill. plays like a chinese knockoff of cs
>>209770seethe
I’d play it but I just can’t wrap my head around Counter strike shooting
>>209937just click on their head. Dont even worry about spraying because its complete RNG in valorant
>>208257his flash can be good if you bother to learn pop lineups for it. if you just throw it randomly then it's pretty meh. the footsteps are pretty much useless because shit tier players don't give a shit about sounds anyway and anyone good enough to pay attention to it is going to figure out that it's fake pretty fast. teleport makes way too much fucking noise and according to a riot designer it's supposed to be making even more noise (same one as the teleport on bind) and they will fix this soon so eh. the ult is pretty great for getting info when taking a site but it's only strong if your team mates can utilize this info so in 99% of matchmaking games it's pretty much useless. overall it's like 6/10. not bad but i dont know why would you want to play it beyond the novelty factor.
>>209517your main was retardedly strong, omenigger. it's still better than Brimstone and should get longer smoke recharge or recharge on kill.
>>200959chad mentality here. Currently switching from a focus on powerlifting to bodybuilding while also climbing in valorant
Whenever I try to enjoy this I just get annoyed cause id rather be playing csgo where I have a selection of normal grenades instead of a bunch of security cameras and walls and retarded shit
>>199349Moving and shooting both feel like ass, so why would you play it
>>199463Just place faceit, no-one cheats there because no cheaters want to risk being banned by their anticheat
>>199829bump
>>200972Yes, and in CS if you're in soloq you can throw your own grenades to set up your own bombsite takes because you have access to every type. In Valorant you have to do takes but you only have flashbangs or only have smokes.
>be csgofag>avoid this game bc of supposed "spyware">it's actually awesome wow i was bamboozled
>>209937I mean valorant doesnt need counter strafing and theres no spray pattern
bump
>>199349I've stopped playing but Riot at least has a design philosophy that tends to work.
>>210543>counter-strafingThis was a Source engine quirk most likely and they didn't really need to add it in Valorant but it does make it more of a tradeoff with accuracy since character movement is less punishing in the game.>spray patternsThis is where I agree with Valorant that it's a stupid thing CS kept in the game. It may have been revolutionary in the 00s but when everyone has more computing power at their disposal, it makes no sense to keep using it as an outdated mechanic which serves to put in more complexity which can only be countered by memorization via muscles, which is the wrong kind of skill to emphasize. It's more skillful IMO to be able to control a gun from one round to the next with the inherent recoil inaccuracy built into the weapon.
>>199349If the rootkit is still installed with the game, it doesn't matter, still shit and will be shit until they remove it. But they will probably add it to other games instead, because people don't have spines not to play a game that may fuck up your system
>>199349>valorantenjoy getting constant communication bans for using bold words and having chink spyware 'anticheat' software installed on your systemNigger.
>>214197? Spray pattern is good tho. It emphasizes on game knowledge rather than luck
Just got prime vandal in the shop never spent money apart from bp but I’m tempted
>>214267wommi'm pissed i missed season 1
>>199349it's a super hardcore competitive esports fps!!>can't move while you shoot>the bullets don't go where you shoot them>all of your time is spent staring at a corner
>>199349>the games aren't excruciatingly longwhat? this is the main reason I quit..very long games
>>214980I mean its only first to 13 compared to CS first to 16.
