    I'd rather have more Maps than Agents

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 02:53 AM PDT

    Just some guy's dumb opinion but, I would personally love to see more maps than agents in this game. I'd much prefer have one new map per episode or act or whatever than an agent. Because I feel like with the current 11 we have right now, they all already have unique abilities and playstyles to keep people busy without craving for a new one, whereas the maps however, at least for me, I'm getting so fricking tired of playing in Haven for the fifth time in a row. Plus, me personally I am REALLY interested in the lore of this game would love to see more of the world. It's not a complaint, more of a suggestion. Thanks 4 readin

    P.S. I understand that creating maps is much more time consuming and challenging on the devs part, so to compensate, another solution would just be to let the community create maps and just pick the best one using like a contest or something and the winner gets to have a free dragon skin or something. Just a suggestion.

    P.P.S I'm not saying that there should only be new maps and no new agents or That maps are more important, a balance between both we'll do. we dont want an overwatch situation now do we

    All these posts about Radianite got me thinking about what I learnt in Psych class....

    LMAO, thought it was really fitting. Nonetheless, I still think radianite is dumb and they need to make this game a bit more inclusive for those of us that can't afford to spend BIG bucks on skins :-(

    p.s. I made this high quality, original, high effort meme for this community to enjoy! I made sure to follow every rule so if this gets taken down again, I'm just gonna give up and leave lmao.

    Radianite System Should Be Abolished

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 03:47 PM PDT

    The Radianite System is completely horrid. It's the most money grubby scheme I've ever seen in a video game to date. For those who aren't aware, I'll some it up real quick. When you buy a skin set, you are only paying for the model and the opportunity to upgrade the effects.

    To put this in other terms, let's compare this to Riot's other game "League of Legends". This is like if in League, when you buy a skin. You only pay for the Model and you have to buy the Visual Effects for your Q, W, E, R, and passive separately. It's extremely scummy. If I buy your overpriced skin skin set, I should get all the effects; I shouldn't have to spend more.

    Double shock across the map - Reaction and Explanation

    This subreddit in a nutshell

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 01:06 PM PDT

    • Radianite Points = SCAM
    • Hit Detection = BROKEN
    • Battle Pass = IMPOSSIBLE
    • Skins = OVERPRICED
    • Skin Rotation / Skins switched for T/CT = EPIC
    • Smurfs = SUCK

    I'm not sure whether I am going mad or these topics are just posted every hour and make it to my feed, the radianite points one in particular seems to be every other post right now.

    This is what happens when your team believes in you

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 10:54 AM PDT

    I’m gonna say it. The design team killed it with the ONI Skins.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 01:13 PM PDT

    Long story short. I see so much hate going around about the price points, the aggravation towards the radianite system. I completely understand the frustration even having paid to upgrade the weapons myself. BUT!

    Goddamn did they nail this one. The design, the choices in chromas are so beautiful. The ode to old period Japan. I mean damn holding the gun in game it looks expensive! It's like having a damn Chanel bag Haha. I'm a nerd when it comes to Japanese related things but these take the cake.

    I understand if you like these and the price points are too high, but "design" in itself is expensive these days. I mean look at Streetwear. People are getting paid for the work they put it in and it's well deserved in my opinion.

    Great Job Riot. Can't wait to see what's next.

    Any chance that RIOT saddles up for a double XP weekend to finish this grind of a BattlePass?

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 10:25 AM PDT

    This BattlePass has been such a grind and with some vacation time during the Act it seems almost impossible to finish.

    It would be sweet if RIOT surprised us all and did a double XP weekend or something so we could grind out our remaining tiers..

    I'm BP lvl 42 right now, with 2 weekly's left from this week. How much do I have to play to finish??

    Now that Brimstone's gloves have been improve can we go back and get a better pose? should go back to his early pose, not a JoJo pose.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 09:32 AM PDT

    Now that Brimstone's gloves have been improve can we go back and get a better pose? should go back to his early pose, not a JoJo pose.

    So me and my friends' reaction when we first played Valorant and picked Brimstone is instant laughter like he legit pulls off a JoJo pose. We thought in the agent selection screen and artwork that he won't do something like that, with the way he is a military man. Upon further research of his poses in the beta, we were surprised how way better his pose was. The JoJo pose should be reserved to other upcoming characters.

     

    He is more Jotaro than Josuke, with his veteran experience and no one gets left behind attitude and Jotaro don't pull that pose.

    my experience playing my first fps: the sad (but funny) play reel :(

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 11:06 AM PDT

    Suggestion: Map picking shouldn’t be random, but instead pseudorandom.

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 06:44 PM PDT

    I know that picking or banning of maps is not coming anytime soon since there are only 4 maps at the moment. And i know that a lot of players strongly prefer some maps and hate others (i'm talking about you split)

    And this, what seems to be pure random system creates big problem, playing same map over and over multiple times.

    For example i played split 13 times out of last 20 competitive games, ones 5 times in a row. We all know that maps in valorant have a lot of problems and frustrating areas. Having chance to play same map 5 or even 20 times in a row make this problem even bigger.

    Because if its pure random system, everytime you queue every map has 25% chance of being chosen, that means you can theoretically play only one map over and over and there's NOTHING you can do about it. And its not really fun when you want to have fun competitive evening with friends and you play one map five times in a row.

    Instead i propose simple pseudorandom system.

    After you play map, your chance of getting that same map drops in half, so its 12.5%, if you get the same map again , its 6.25% and so on. Or it can drop even more or have assigned different parameters after playing, based on playtime etc..

    This way it will feel more random and be more fun for everyone.

    And btw: Apple had this same problem when itunes came out, their shuffle feature used true random system and people were complaining that it picked same songs over and over because there was a chance for it to happen. After complaints, they made it pseudorandom so when song was played, its chance of playing again soon dropped radically.

    EDIT:

    Lot of people are saying that this is not possible or it is problem because there are 10 players and only four maps and everyone played different map last game.

    This is not a problem at all. Here's why:

    System would just match together players that played same maps last game and pick one of other three for that game.

    That would be basically like you manually picking three out of four maps, but system will pick that three for you. This would result in slightly longer queue times. For example in cago you can solo queue just one map and you are just fine, and in this pseudorandom system you are queueing for three maps.

    There is only ONE situation where this doesn't work. If you play in four stack and each of you played different map last game, which will result in random map. But that is rare situation.

    Got put in a game with a hacker and was told the game wouldn't count towards our rank. After surrendering we lost elo and a friend deranked.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 02:52 AM PDT

    A couple rounds into the game Riot told us that there was a hacker, and that the game wouldn't count towards our current rank. Naturally we surrendered because nobody wanted to play with a hacker and it would've been a waste of time if we got no elo, right? Is this because we didn't play it out and we surrendered? If so, why doesn't the game just stop like in CSGO?

    This is how Viper's "Vulnerable" debuff works

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 07:02 AM PDT

    This is how Viper's "Vulnerable" debuff works

    TLDR; Vulnerable doubles all damage received.

    For whomever is wondering how "Vulnerable" works. Vulnerable is the debuff that player's standing on Viper's molly get like so:

    Standing on Viper's molly with Vulnerable

    Each Viper molly ticks 98 times dealing 196 damage:

    https://preview.redd.it/45nb55aa4mc51.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=8ae71568cafa6c7716ccb42787f7c1f0d7a9165b

    With "Vulnerable" applied, each bullet's damage is doubled!

    For example, with "Vulnerable", a Classic can deal 156 damage one-shot headshot full body armor over 30m distance!

    352 (vulnerable + classic headshot) - 196 (base damage of molly) = 156 damage

    One-shot headshot with classic on 30m with Vulnerable

    Double body-shot from Phantom/Vandal with "Vulnerable" will obliterate an enemy!

    352 (vulnerable + phantom double bodyshot) - 196 (base damage of molly) = 156 damage

    Thoughts

    This could be very useful on pistol rounds. Viper can buy 2 mollies and one smoke and light armor. With the 2 mollies plus a classic and good aim (or good bursts), viper can disable any kind of full-team rush (especially on lower elo).

    EDIT: Combining Viper's Smoke and Molly

    Combining those two will cause a compounded effect. Simple test was as follows:

    1. Viper places molly, Enemy jett walks from side to side, Health = 62
    2. Viper places molly and smoke, Enemy jett walks from side to side, Health = 39 !

    I made a chibi of Sova

    The Omen chibi was supposed to be a one-off but because of the postive feedbacks from you guys. And after a lot of people liking my previous chibi of Omen and asking for chibis of all the other agents i decided that i will draw each agents a chibi of their own. So here is my second one, a chibi of Sova. I hope you guys like it as well.

    Just a collection of kills I wanted to share

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 04:06 PM PDT

    Pro Tip: If you frequently play with a friend that has cool gun skins, just have them buy you a gun and throw it to you, and then buy for them. Then you both have the cool skin.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 01:40 PM PDT

    I own the Prime, Elderflame, and Oni sets and my buddies are always having me buy them guns and then toss it to them so they don't have to buy the skins.

    I'm honestly on board for getting rid of radianite. I paid $35 for the Oni Phantom (also got one other from the set plus the player card) skin and then I'd literally have to spend an additional $75 to get all the upgrades....

    As someone who DOES spend money on the skins because I have the extra $$ and want to support the game, I'm absolutely not paying y'all $30 for 20 radianite points when I already spent too much to get the skin.

    I will toss cool guns to anybody who asks me in a game since I already have them.

    Side note: I didn't realize the price of radianite when I bought the guns. I assumed I would need to pay maybe another $10 to unlock all the VFX and variants, but boy was I wrong as hell.

    I don't get why Iron players get in a lobby with 4 gold players

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 10:45 AM PDT

    I don't get why Iron players get in a lobby with 4 gold players

    We are a party of three gold players, and we have been matched with iron players 3 times in a row. We have dodged the first one, so we played the second one, even though there is an iron in the lobby, hoping that the enemy team has it worse. We got demoted. After this match, we queue again, bam, IRON 1, auto lock reyna. We obviously didnt play that game. What the hell is this matchmaking.
