most people in valorant (zoomers probably and i can relate) spam all chat to report x for doing y, even though y is as far from being bannable as possible, but i did the same in csgo as a kid, i probably had like 3 reports on average per game

>>
>>1008740
people (cs frogs) generally cope by saying its random but at the end of the day, valorant takes more gamesense than csgo. even the angles/fights you choose to play completely unravels a whole round since util/ults come into play. The first year ex CS players came into valorant & did well but after the 1st year when every region caught up with the game. The game evolved further than csgo and these CS players are washed now. Some players like stewie/hiko etc have gotten destroyed by chess/fortnite zoomer pros who understand the macro well. They also aim better. Stewie's streams and his failure in Tier 2 valo is a good reminder of how bitter players can get when they realize valorant is on the same level as CSGO. Its not an easy transition at the moment. You will get rolled if you cant macro/aim well.
>>
>>1008740
>>1008808
to elaborate, utility is generally stronger (being able to gather info is massive) and a lot easier to use in low level games. In CS you have to get pretty high into ranks before people know lineups and how to properly do pop flashes, in valorant that stuff starts way earlier

I speak japanese and my last 80 comp games were on the JP server.
Unless you're in immo3 or some tryhard rank, the most coordination that happens if no one is micro-managing is: "smoke site, you flash, then we go". Which should be normal.
If someone is stepping up to IGL that's when you get baits and setups, but most of the time any coordinated plan has two people involved max. The rest just use their util without any deeper thought.

I compensate with nerd shit and strats, so I'd notice if they were extraordinarily coordinated, but they're just not. They just use their util.

You are playing against kids with 180ms reaction time who play this shit for at least 6 hours a day every single day while they are really high on caffeine (they drink monster and redbull like it was a sport), they probably play even more on the weekends, when they are not playing they are either watching their favorite valorant streamers on twitch or watching valorant tutorials, tips and tricks on tiktok, also the lower ranks are full of smurfs.

How come this game seems so popular but it can't maintain a general here? I know it's a zoomer game and they tend to stay in their discords, but you could say the same about Fortnite and and some others yet that has no problems maintaining it's general. I think that the twitch numbers with it (and League) are heavilly botted by the Chinese since it's a Riot game and the true player count is much lower than you'd think.

>plat 3 - diamond hardstuck shitter here
Doesn't sound that bad depending on how long have you been playing, SoloQ is like gambling so considering you have no idea how your teammates play you would have to be a consistent fragger or be good at clutching in order to keep climbing.
>no you're fucking not you retard
Just because you are that one Jett player who keeps getting 40 kills on silver-plat lobbies doesn't mean the game is not filled with them.
>>1024607
The game is populated enough to be playable, but yeah it is a zoomer game so most of these kids are on discord or other social media, it is a Riot game and it includes Chinese spyware plus it is so similar to CS half of the people here would say "why not playing CS instead?", OW has the waifubait TF2 doesn't have, I guess we needed these waifufags to keep the tread up but overall I think the game doesn't match the "imageboard audience" that well.

>>
>>1031438
which elo are you?
Keep at it, that's the only solution. you can only know the timings when you keep trying to lurk. Im a cypher ratty lurk in diamond and you need to realize lurking only works once your team takes contact, be it attack or defense. I always lurk just to see where the traps are in the first couple of rounds, based on that, you can move around later in rounds. You dont always have to lurk behind them, you can cage them in and tell your team to hold site if you're CT, if you're T take space, put up trips AND THEN ask your team to rotate.

All the above might look basic but it basically comes down to, your timings are off and its because you're going either too early or too fast. keep trying, fren
>>
>>1031710
Thanks bwo. I got similar advice from another cypher main so that seems to be the mindset. Despite my 150hrs on him, I don't have the mindset drilled in yet. I do notice that I tend to look for a pick when lurking, instead of boxing them in and supporting the post plant.

Same game, there was one time where my team got a pick A and all four sent it immediately. My ass decided to push garage at that exact moment and got timing'd by a KJ in window. I realize that even if I killed her, I'd be too far away if my team got massacred.

Next time I recognize that situation I'll just tuck left side of B entrance and watch B to A link. Idc if she can creep out of garage and find me if she does then c'est la vie you know.

>which elo
Gold 3 rn. Finished plat 1 last season and plateau'd (heh) there for 10+ matches so I guess that's my real rank for now.
>>
>>1031713
all the best, lurking is not always going behind them. Take your time and destroy her util, keep taking jiggle peeks. Your team can be focused on attack but your job is breaking all the senti shit. if sage has her wall, break one part of it and run back to your team, if her setup is on one side, break it and go back. The amount of pressure it creates is very high. it will keep 1-2 players there and you can hit a site 5v3, take trades. ez.

>I hate LATAM so much.
It is not a LATAM problem, every region is just like that, I have LATAM and NA accounts and the only difference with the regions is the language.
As most anons know, the aim and utility usage gets better in higher ranks but the high level of retardation doesn't stop until plat, in diamond you still find that one Reyna who doesn't help to execute, comes to the site as the the last one alive, gets 2 or 3 kills using her flashes and then loses the clutch, just to later talk shit about the team because "he is top fragging"

comp doesn't matter just instalock
No one in your elo or my elo knows how to use their util enough that their specific role is indispensable.
In fact, the few games where we just gave no fucks and went 5 duelists no smokes were one of the easiest games I've ever had because everyone felt like they were hot shit.

You just need 5 guns pointing at the right places at the right time, with aim that is average for your rank.

You're basically entrying solo on a lurk, clearing every angle, looking for the guy that's watching for the lurk. If they don't have that guy then you're fighting shitters and anything goes.

>you have to entry frag every time
If you're saying that eventually I have to raw dog into an angle with no util, and that I should be good at that, then we're in agreement. But if you're saying that I should be entrying exclusively to climb that's retarded. I'm more useful as the 2nd or 3rd guy watching the peek out on Ascent heaven or sticking to the entry's back like glue ready to trade in half a second.
If I die, my wires go down, I lose the post plant cam, they lose one of the best fraggers to ever grace the game, etc.

Think about it this way, if you would have been Immortal if you started to play before Ascendant was introduced.
I honestly don't see myself going beyond diamond anytime soon because I mostly play on weekends, currently hitting 300 hours on comp, I could improve faster if I played more often but I'm not sure how much time I want to give to this game, it is something I don't want to regret in the future, I am getting old.

I have so much fun playing CS with friends, but they don't wanna play lately.

Should I just give up on playing this game if my reaction time isn't god-tier?
I seriously don't understand how I can have 2000+ hours in siege and have hit diamond multiple times, yet can't even maintain a positive k/d in a single deathmatch game.
I'm repeatedly getting domed the milisecond someone comes around the corner, far faster than I can even react to.
>>
>>1036742
>reaction time
300ms or below is serviceable.
Tac shooter boomer like you should know that crosshair placement is like 90% of how fast you kill someone. Even something seemingly insignificant like holding wide or tight from a corner makes a huge difference, and most of the time, one of those is objectively correct.

You also shouldn't be fast. You need to be accurate, even if it costs you time. You cannot be telling me that these kids are dunking on you before you can even react. Post a fucking deathmatch VOD if you wanna prove me wrong. But you don't have to, because you know that most of the time you just aim too fast, miss, and die.

>2000 hrs of siege
All you guys know is pick Zofia, hold left-click, and aim as an afterthought. Obviously you're gonna suck if that's what's ingrained into your brain.

You're just a complete retard. You can stop instantly in counter strike and it feels amazing, you're always in control, in Valorant you have to wait for the game to tell you when its ok to shoot, you have less control over your movement, less player expression, less skill
>>
>>1053421
I don't really mean the stopping so much as the way it feels when you're just moving around.
And swinging/holding corners becomes way more tactical with the heavier spread and inability to just stop on a time. If I wanted to play a shooter with interesting movement it certainly wouldn't be CS, it'd be something that actually has bunny hopping or stuff with wall jumping instead of "wow you can stop real fast if you're good"
>>
>>1053464
you dont have to be "good" to stop in counter strike, it just feels so much better than valorant because of it. Having control of your own movement.
Both Valorant and counter strike have shit gunplay and shit movement but counter strike is marginally better in both regards. I dont really see what you mean by saying valorant is more tactical
>>
>>1053490
You think it feels better because you're used to it, you have the same amount of control. The only difference is that it'll actually decelerate you to a stop at the same speed as if you're changing directions
>>
>>1053421
>in Valorant you have to wait for the game to tell you when its ok to shoot
You just let go of the movement key and you're instantly accurate.

>>1053490
In CS the fact that you can crouch peek, spray, whiff 20 bullets, and still remain lethal and accurate for the last 10, makes it less accuracy focused than Valorant.
It's really "less tactical" than Valorant because the movement can easily disarm someone holding an angle. Dry peeks are so much worse in Valo, because everyone is slow as molasses, their heads can't move diagonally across your screen, and they can't start to shoot unless they've totally stopped or else they'd use their precious 10 bullets of non-random spray.
>>
>>1055941
Not at all. I played valorant first, and for a few years before ever touching counter strike. When I learned that you could easily stop with counterstrafing it blew my mind and made this kind of game 10x better... along with kovaaks of course...

>>
>>1057588
It's not about realism, it's about coupling movement more heavily to aim and not just being able to swing and outshoot someone. Holding angles is just stronger in valorant which means you need to approach things more tactically. The heavy tagging also makes trades more guaranteed, which also means you need to approach things with more of a plan.
The varied utility also makes for more district tactical situations you need to solve.
You could make a valorant spinoff of frozen synapse pretty easily but a CS version would be pretty boring.

I kind of see what you mean but I'm not convinced its more tactical. Simply, Valorant disempowers the individual, you say this enhances team tactical gameplay but in practice it feels worse to actually play.

CS should just limit what you can buy to deagles.
No cheap tricks like flashbangs and automatic weapons, just honest to goodness precision and movement.

>Simply, Valorant disempowers the individual, you say this enhances team tactical gameplay but in practice it feels worse to actually play
>A Sage cant do shit alone
The agent who can basically stop an entire execute solo by chucking one ice ball on the floor. Slow a choke after their entry goes in, and you guarantee a 2v1 while the rest of his team crawls out, unable to trade.
The agent that can keep map control solo for at least 40s. See Bind showers for the best example.
Even the healslut has lots of individual impact when you actually know her. CS agents and Valo agents just do different things. Yeah you don't have both util to entry and stall, but you are not helpless without your team any more than a CS agent is.
A T-side player wishes he could lurk up A site while at the same time covering fast mid pushes, so his team can just focus on a late 4-man B take, or have the option to go back mid without having to reclear mid. Cypher can do all that, and he has TWO smokes. He doesn't have a flash or a molly I guess.
>>
>>1057588
>not even close to true, only possible in CS
Idk what to tell you other than to boot up practice range, display shot accuracy graph in your settings, and click immediately as you let go of your strafe key. It'll be orange across the board.
You come to a dead stop when you let go of one key. Ergonomically you stop faster than in CS, because a counterstrafe is two inputs, not one.
>>
>>1059029
flashbangs arent cheap tricks like wall hacks, teleports, and flashing through walls. Stop being a disingenuous faggot.
A sage cant do shit alone even in your unlikely scenario, it is just sage waiting for her team. Good luck clutching when playing an agent invented for simpleminded females to queue in as they garner desperate simps.
At simplified version of your argument is that it is better game design to disempower the individual and leads to better team gameplay, but I think it just objectively feels like shit to play compared to games like CS that let you control your movement, the tradeoff isnt worth it
>>
>>1059033
This is verfiably false. Not a single thing you said is true, you cannot shoot after immediately letting go of your strafe key. You have to wait a split second, while in CS you don't wait at all and control everything by counterstrafing. You objectively have more control over your movement in CS than valorant wtf are you trying to say here?

Why not?

>A sage cant do shit alone even in your unlikely scenario
But I just described you a Sage preserving map control solo and stalling a push. If you don't recognize the value this gives, you don't understand map control and util economy.
>it is just sage waiting for her team
Buying time for rotates is an e-girl thing now? Don't use smokes and mollys then if you don't wanna be a faggot.

>unlikely scenario
This is literally what happens every round for a Sage player. You wait for site entry util, you throw a slow. Their entry is solo now so you play crossfire with your site buddy. You do this comfortably because you walled off another entry path they could've used. It's so high conversion that good teams really have to work the map elsewhere to break up their setup before hitting a site.
1 slow orb = 1 dash, 1 smoke, 1 recon dart, 1 dog, whatever util they used to entry
It's such a broken ability if you know the game.

>Good luck clutching
She has a resurrect. Statistically one of the better clutch operators. Having one other guy to trade is better than having a smoke in the pocket.

Honestly it's as the tripfag says I think you just don't understand both games on a deep enough level.

You are still being a disingenuous faggot, Im talking about her being alone 1vX scenario, she is useless. Its laughable you bring up her ult, something she won't have the vast majority of rounds. Flashbangs and smoke grenades arent wallhacks retard what are you even trying to say?

Sage is plenty strong alone, even with the self heal nerf. Cypher having to retake the other site after you've set everything up, now that's suffering.
But the unfairness is good, if I wanted to play a fair game I wouldn't be playing one with an economy. Players not all having access to the same utility means that each pick changes the tactical situation in a different way. Also means that every 1v1 is a bit different.
As for honesty, I don't take think there's anything particularly dishonest about utility that gives you info instead of just stuff that denies it, it's just a question of what you're used to. If CS was made during a time when drones existed we'd probably have something like it on CT side. Raven Shield had heartbeat sensors, SWAT had the door camera.

not really. it's mainly a game about visualizing where your enemies are then killing them. rather then reacting after you've seen them and flicking and killing them. You'd be better off just playing normal games

The last big patch tuned down the frequency of overwatch rounds but there's still strong executes. Depends on the map of course, and you probably shouldn't just be letting the enemy team just walk up to the site and get set up. Being more aggressive and holding ground will make them expend utility getting to the site and any pick you get hurts the ability to do a big execute a lot

This game is more about crosshair placement, aim technique, and decisions rather than how fast you can react (unless you're an AWPer). People as old as 40 can get diamond.
>>
>>1070432
You can recon the sentinel/Viper on site, gulag them, and have your team flood into site.
Your team just walks into site 4v2 at most, with no stall util to slow them down or split them up.

As a bonus, you have a 55/45 gunfight. If you lose it, your team is already in position to smoke the guy you just gulag'd.

Like who? I already picked reyna but I will get another one on lv10.
I chose her because she has a self heal and flash. She looks easy was recommended in a lot of youtube guides.
For now I'm playing with her and phoenix.
>>
>>1073677
Any of the initiators or sentinels, they add value to your team by just using your utility and you'll actually figure out how to play the game. Duelists are just running at each other and shooting without knowing what's happening, positioning or understanding how to play with their teammates. Same with dps rolls in other games, lowest skill players who think they win the game because they think big numbers mean big contributions
>>
>>1073692
>Any of the initiators or sentinels
I heard that initiators are bad in lower ranks because you need team coordination to do well with your habilities.
Do you agree? Are sentinels better in this regard?
What about controlers?
>>
>>1073722
Team coordination doesn't exist in low ranks, which is true. The real value to you as an initiator is the ability to get information and be self sufficient. Skye for example can scout ahead with her dog and flash for information or to blind. She can heal her teammates and her ult finds the opponents. She has enough to play well when it's 5v5 and when you're 1v3 at the end you can play off your abilities to win
>>
>>1073722
About controllers, i think they require too much gamesense to play as a starter character. You can do so much damage to your own team with bad smokes than any other role. It's doable, I just wouldn't recommend to a new player

Raze then. She's hella fun and takes so much space. She also fills in for a few roles on some parts of the map, like Haven A short when you have no Skye dog / Sova recon. As a bonus, she's just the meta pick in a lot of the maps right now.
You do need to learn a few lineups to play her to her true potential, though.

Riot has marked my account for a perma loss streak. Out of the last 20 games, 17 have been 5-13 sweeps with my entire team having single digit kills while the enemies have over 2.0 kd. 2 of those games were overtime wins, 1 was an overtime draw. In short, I haven't won a single non-overtime game in 3 weeks. I play site anchors but nonetheless I'm team MVP about half of the time. This is Ascendant 1 and I'm at the point where I can no longer spectate my teammates without getting tilted in a major way. They're not humans anymore, as my dog plays better than them, or anyone with headphones and a mouse plugged in for that matter.
Rewinding back 4 months, I've had a 53% winrate in immortal 2. People have got better since then, and factoring in me being rather rusty, I would say Ascendant 3 is a decent place for me. That said, next week I'm hitting Diamond 3, in which I'd need to switch from my typical anchor characters who are no longer suited for strategic gameplay to brainless pub stomping characters and try to have kda of 4 to carry out the lobbies.
I just want to play the game that I like, that consists of both strategy and technical fights. Why am I being flagged to go down to the cavemen level where hitting shots is the only thing that matters? People there peek and don't kill with their first bullet, what's the point then? First bullet accuracy is a major gameplay mechanic, without which you lose to a free gun 100% of the time. Why do those players even exist? And why am I being forcefully queued into them now?
Perhaps I should make a new account. This has got ridiculous at this point.

A fight is decided most of the time by who is more prepared.

Keep your crosshair where the enemy's head might be.
Hold it far or close to corners depending on how you think the enemy will peek you. HInt: if you're on an off-angle, hold uncomfortably wide.
Take your time with the shot, even if it feels like forever.

Well that explains why you're so good. Prior to Valorant my only video game experience are RPGs and MMOs type games. Sometimes it's my fault we lose, most of the time it's my teams fault. I had a rank up game last act that went south really fast. I dropped 41 kills into OT on Split and we still lost :(. It turns out there was a Diamond on the other team and I just couldn't compete.
>>
>>1102141
Do you wanna gitgud? Do you have fun with the game?
I'm 35, 280ms reaction time in a good day (when I'm well rested plus high on caffeine), playing the game on a toaster (50FPS, 1024x576 res), I have peaked diamond and I'm having FUN™
I like this game, it is full of gay normalfag zoomers and cringe memes but it still has a few things I found fun, these days most mainstream multiplayer games are the exact same but still have shit gunplay on top of being fucking battle royale/extraction shooters, I can't play CS2 on my toaster but valortant is cool enough.

If you are worried about you performance, in lower elo you can just play a Sentinel or Initiator, you get to spot, blind, hurt and even kill enemies with utility before getting in contact with them.
Wanna help with the execution/entry? play initiator, these have tools to clean corners so you don't have to get in.
Wanna help holding an area? play sentinel, their utility can take control of the area, that way you get info of when you are getting attacked.
>Aimlet and reactionlet
You can get a lot of easy kills with just crosshair placement, basically preaiming the place where the enemy is going to be, even when I'm looking at the minimap I would click when my peripheral vision catches something moving in the screen, by the time I react I realize I got a kill. Getting kills with just muscle memory is a common thing in this game
The game is not that much about reactions or aiming until way later. it is mostly about teamwork, watching angles positioning, "game sense" and adapting, if you are defending you can hide in a corner and get 2 free kills if no one cleans that corner, on attack you have to be sure to clean every single corner. You can also get into the lineup autism and get a huge advantage by autistically memorizing random pixels on the walls, it works wonders.
Just try the game, you don't have to be an esports legend or a zoomer to have fun in this game.

Is where you have all the peripherals plugged in and you can process information further than the immediate information on your screen (i.e. think 10 seconds ahead, instead of not thinking at all)

>>1104524
I can't fathom what "coaching out of gold" would entail. You literally need to pay attention to what's happening on your screen and just don't run while shooting.
If that's too much, you can cheat your way into ~diamond3 by buying odin and spamming all angles while crouched.
Players before ascendant can't kill with 1 bullet consistently when they peek, so you can punish them with odin that wins against any rifle that bodyshots 2 or more times instead of instantly killing you like it's supposed to.
>>
>>1104869
>while crouched
Actually scratch that until you reach diamond. People before diamond mostly bodyshot, so crouching gives them easy headshots that they don't actually deserve due to their poor crosshair placement and lack of aim. Never crouch in <=plat

what's the best way to git gud at valo? I main Skye. I warm up on range and aim labs then play deathmatch/team deathmatch then I go into swift play and/or rank. lately ive been averaging an even k/d score or I end up going .5 (like 8-16 or something). This is my first mouse/key shooter

K/D isn't really going to be much of a measure since there's matchmaking in every mode.
You probably know this already but just getting good at crosshair placement is the biggest thing for new players.

The most important part here is the final tip, which is to just take every 1v1 fight you can get in ranked.
