    I designed an icon for this subreddit 2.0

    Posted: 14 Jul 2020 06:04 PM PDT

    About a week ago I posted an design for this subreddit's icon. It wasn't the best but here's my second attempt, its simpler and I think the image looks much smoother. (disclaimer: I am not the best at graphic design by any means, I just enjoy using photoshop.)

    I appreciate all the support and critique!

    Here's the new design.

    Edit: thank you for all the support again! You are all kind people. May good karma come your way.

    PSA: It is more harmful to give a bad call-out than to say nothing at all.

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 09:37 AM PDT

    Please don't call out that agent X is at Y location when you aren't sure. It's fine to say "I saw Omen at Elbow" or something along those lines, but when its 1v1, 1v2, etc. and you're calling out "Omen is Elbow" as if you just heard him, it is really easy to bait your teammates.

    Good call-outs win games, and I get that sometimes you can get it wrong, but please don't constantly call things out that you are unsure of.

    edit: As MrPandaTurtle pointed out, you also should not call all five at a site unless you know this for sure. It baits your teammates because they think areas are clear when they could have people lurking.

    The reason ranked won’t/can’t get changes anytime soon

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 02:03 AM PDT

    Morello, a lead developer that mostly works on agent balance said on his stream today that the person who developed Valorant's ranked system has left Riot Games. They know this is a huge issue and acknowledge all the various complaints, but can't do anything about them without filling his position.

    Here is the clip.

    When a Sova clears a pathway for you onto site with drone and his arrow gives you wallhack on the defenders, while you still hold the same defensive angle masturbating, we want you to step on a lego for at least a week every morning.

    I know entry fragging/trading takes some time to learn and eventually entry fraggers will grow some balls..but until then, at least take out the free kills. /rant over

    In all honesty tho, can we all just step up and make this game better by simply holding W when we execute a site? Nobody gets better by selling his teammates for kda

    Competitive should not require to complete 20 unrated games, but to win 10 unrated games.

    Fight the people that forfeit rush by requiring them to actively work towards an objective.

    Winning games is easy enough anyway.

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 11:32 AM PDT

    4 out of 5 times I'm placed with premades of 4+1, 3+1+1 or 2+2+1

    • They do not communicate at all with you ( In my last match I asked nicely to communicate so we try to win.. they told me to get some friends instead)
    • They blame you for everything because one of their premade member insta locked phoenix and has only 1 kill after 15 rounds
    • They play their own game within the game
    • They are very toxic towards you even when you hard carry them

    These are games ranged between plat2-diamond2.

    I'm well aware that in SoloQ are the same amount of toxic people, BUT you can mute that individual and still work together with the other 3 people.

    Racism Rant - My experience on the NA servers

    Posted: 14 Jul 2020 07:52 PM PDT

    I just came off a Bronze ranked game and for the umpteenth time had a player or group of players blatantly make racist remarks against me.

    I am from India but live in Canada, moved here not very long ago and I have a distinct Indian accent. I am active on voice chat regardless and keep making short useful call outs about where enemies are etc. the usual stuff. I come from Overwatch and I did the same in that game too.

    In most of my Valorant games this is welcomed and seldom even appreciated. But very very frequently, especially in Unranked mode, I have people make fun of my race, my accent, or downright tell me I don't belong here etc.

    I am an adult in my 30s and my immediate reaction is to tell them to stop (To be honest I do get angry on occasion) and then mute them if they continue and then report them. I am not sure if reporting helps in terms of action taken.

    Insults range from mimicking the accent (not playfully I am on board with that), saying I belong to tech support, "You know you are the wrong servers, right?" to even blatantly calling names.

    I have experienced some of this in Overwatch too but the sheer number of incidents in the one month of Valorant is alarming. The most depressing aspect is most of these comments are made by kids way way younger than me, some sound like they are not even out of lower grades of school yet.

    I know I can avoid some of this by not solo queuing. But that is not the answer! I want to play the game on my terms.

    TLDR: Here is my take on this and my reason for this post, I am strong enough and old enough to deal with this but we as a gaming community need to safeguard fellow gamers especially younger ones from this menace. If you see any body being racially abused on either team, "Speak Up!". I have not had a single teammate come to my aid on these various instances in Valorant. Also, Riot should make sure these reports are taken seriously and some feedback on action taken be sent back to the person(s) reporting. I also suggest adding a separate category if required. In the climate we live in and Black Lives Matter movement etc. I am shocked at the state of mind of the younger generation on the NA servers at least. It is deeply disturbing.

    Anything on ranked rewards?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2020 11:06 AM PDT

    Like League of Legends has rewards, and many other popular games.Valorant ranked feels now so off, nothing to grind for, even if you get highest rank there is nothing to show it off, for example banner in loading screen , gun buddies, etc.If any employee sees this post, could you tell us about future plans with ranking system.

    I created a Diamond ranked Gunbuddy in Fusion, how do you feel about ranked rewards?

    Posted: 14 Jul 2020 06:31 PM PDT

    The gun buddy

    Now, people have been talking about adding ranked rewards for a very long while, I'm not sure if they'll ever be available, but if they do I really hope that something like this can be possible since it's a smaller thing that people won't throw games for, or only play ranked for only for gun buddies, just a simple addition that enhances the experience for people already playing.

    Here's what it would look like in game

    Maybe Player cards, Radianite, and card texts could also be cool, I feel like these lower tiered rewards would work very well and be highly commended, it would also make ranked feel a lot nicer, while adding content.

    Here's my go at a playercard and text

    Anyways, in conclusion I think that ranked rewards would add a lot of content to the game, and give players another reason to do well. Let me know what you think.

    EDIT: I made pixel animations for the ranks!

    Stop yelling at your teammates when you're playing bronze/silver or even gold.

    Posted: 14 Jul 2020 11:57 PM PDT

    Guys please don't yell at your teammates like you're the best player in the world and we're not specially when your rank is bronze silver or gold. We ain't gonna be pro and we surely don't have the skill for so keep it cool and don't act like we were playing for big money / competitive scene please. It's just a game and we are just casual players so let's have fun even when we try our best. Peace ✌️

    Don't be THAT guy in the other team

    Posted: 14 Jul 2020 04:57 PM PDT

    We all have been in this situation: you're in a game where you are getting rekt. And there is always THAT guy in the other team that won't stop making fun of it. 'Ez', 'are you even trying'...

    So, here's the deal: unless you are the worst player on the planet, there is always someone who is worse than you. And unless you are the best player on the planet, there is always someone who is better than you.

    It is very likely that you are somewhere between those extremes.

    Making fun and teasing somebody who is losing against you is not a proof that this guy is a bad player. It only proofs that you have a bad character.

    Don't be THAT guy.

    Enjoy the game, folks.

    It's been 3 weeks since the Viper buffs, here's why they weren't enough.

    Posted: 14 Jul 2020 01:29 PM PDT

    Viper, as a controller, should be seen as an alternative to Brimstone or Omen, and she actually has all the tools she needs to fill the role. She has two decent mollies, the biggest smoke in the game, and her wall, which in my opinion, is the best LoS-blocking ability in the entire game. So why isn't she as popular as the other controllers?

    1. Ease of Use

    This is hands down her biggest problem. As mentioned before, Viper has all the utility she needs to execute, and also defend a site. The issue is that she can't do it properly. Viper has to equip her smoke, throw it, wait for it to land, and finally activate it. Meanwhile, Brimstone and Omen can both pinpoint exactly where they want their smokes to go, and can do so without exposing themselves or using complicated lineups. This alone already makes Viper a far less attractive option. To make things even worse, she has to be within cuddling distance of her smoke to pick it up, and as a result, she is forced to commit to smoking a single location, and requires a long time to prepare her smoke to use it on another location. This is, once again, a problem other controllers simply don't have to deal with.

    Her wall also had this problem, but after the buffs it is now very easy to use effectively and no longer requires lineups. There is little reason to not buff her poison orb in a similar way.

    2. Presence

    Cypher's Cyber Cages make noise if the enemy pushes through them. That means it's suicide to walk into it instead of waiting it out, since it is very easy for Cypher to shoot through his smokes to punish anyone trying to walk into site.

    Brimstone and Omen can smoke a single location multiple times, forcing the enemy to push through them if they want to take control of a choke point. If this is not necessary, they can use their smokes in different locations.

    And guess what, Viper has none of those benefits. If she uses all her fuel, the poison orb lasts 15s (same time of Brim and Omen smokes), and so does the wall. If both are activated at the same time, her fuel barely lasts 10s. Which just isn't worth it. After her fuel is fully depleted, she has to wait 20 whole seconds for it to fully recharge. Therefore, she has to wait 20s to use use ONE of her abilities for another 15s.

    As a result, it's simply impossible for Viper's utility to be as present as the other controllers' utility. She can only smoke one spot at a time, and it isn't any harder to push through her smoke wheh compared to Brim or Omen smokes since the Decay debuff does nothing.

    3. Possible Solutions

    I believe Viper doesn't need more raw map control power, since she already has plenty. What she needs is more ways to use her utility effectively. Her entire kit is strong, but she needs to have an easier time taking advantage of it. So how should she be changed? Here are some suggestions:

    • Remove the faster depletion of her fuel if both of her abilities are active (or even better, make her fuel recharge faster)
    • Allow Viper to pick up her smoke from a distance, just like Cypher can pick up his camera and traps
    • Change the Fragile debuff so it lasts 2-4 seconds after leaving the AoE (So Viper has a better opportunity to punish anyone pushing through it)

    These are relatively small changes that, when combined, are pretty substantial. If they STILL aren't enough, here are some crazier, maybe unbalanced ones:

    • Let Viper re-use her wall after 35s (just like any other signature ability). If she deploys a new wall, the previous one just disappears.
    • Make the Decay debuff much more aggressive, dealing damage slightly faster, but more importantly, making it so it takes a very long time to fully recover from the debuff. The main focus of this is to make her ult actually scary to walk inside of.

    If you're still here, thanks for reading! If you're wondering why i didn't talk about her ult as much, it's because i honestly don't know how to buff it without making it extremely overpowered. It surely is in an awkward spot right now, but i don't think it's as bad as people say it is.
