    Killjoy doesn't sound German

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 09:38 AM PDT

    As a German myself, Killjoy doesn't sound German. Her voiceouts like "Auf Wiedersehen" sound like a native English speaker trying to sound German.

    EDIT: If you wanna hear a good comparison and crave explanations check this thread out.

    Playing with a disability | No finger function

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:45 AM PDT

    Hi my name is Conrad! I broke my neck in 2012 which means no function/sensation below my chest, weak arms and no function in my fingers. I have been playing some Valorant and made a video about my setup and how I can still play the game.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxEb8Krxjq4

    Hopefully someone in a similar situation finds this interesting and also if anyone with disabilities would like to show off their setups I would love to see. I meet a lot of young people at my rehabilitation center and gaming is truly such a good way for them to get back to "normal" life

    If you have any questions what so ever, feel free to ask down below!

    More about my story:

    I'm a 25 y/o guy from Sweden. 2012 I broke my neck in a parkour accident. Because of my injury I have no feeling or movement below the middle of my chest. In addition, my triceps and wrists are a lot weaker and my fingers don't work at all. Before my injury I was an elite swimmer training 10x a week. After my injury I started playing wheelchair rugby. I have been at two European championships and one world championship. 2020 we failed to qualify for the Tokyo Paralympics.

    Leaving agent selection should be treated less harshly than leaving while the game is in progress

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 02:02 AM PDT

    Hello there, I love the game and so do you.

    That's why I'm going to discuss something that some players may have asked themselves like I did.

    Why is leaving agent selection phase treated as if you left an in game session, while I understand leaving agent selection can be annoying especially if there was a streak of you getting into one and leaving multiple times, I would always prefer having to wait a couple of mins, then getting into a game where we are at an unfair advantage such as being a player down ( 4v5 ), leaving agent selection is treated as leaving a whole game with bans getting up to 4 hours at times, if repeated in a short duration of time, wasting 2-5 mins of 9 other players is always better imo than playing an unfair 4v5 game that drags on to 10-15 mins where one team hates it (4 player team) and the other finds it not fun ( 5 player team), let me know what you think, and please keep in mind even if you don't leave agent selection or in game, some people have sudden emergencies where they can't keep playing, keep in mind if it does not effect you, it does not mean that it is ok.

    sorry for my bad English, hope you understood what im talking about

    This is the 3rd pixel agent I've done. I was going to do Raze but I've been playing a lot of Phoenix and love his character so much! Planning to do Raze or Killjoy next.

    aceu in the state of ranked right now

    I have had the same experience and its even worse for someone who cannot hard carry games like he can. I can honestly say valorant soloQ is one of the worst experiences if you actually want to climb. The ratings are all over the place, it can put immortals in my game as a diamond sometimes and other times all i get is platinum players and occasional golds. I know people are going to say that you should play as a stack but that is not an option for everyone. Most of my friends don't play this game and tbh i prefer playing solo, I just don't want to be punished for doing so. The system needs a lot of work and should be a top priority for them.

    Edit: on the state of ranked.

    I was just in a game and it went RIP. Maybe this is a repeat of the Cloudflare thing from the other week. RIP!

    Has someone already posted about this? This a glitch right? It looks so weird, how can that thing even fly upwards with its propellors blowing horizontally?

    Idea: Breach ult to break or disable walls and traps

    Posted: 11 Aug 2020 03:46 PM PDT

    I feel like this idea would fit really well with the breach playstyle. There is nothing worse than a breach player ulting then being met with a sage wall or cypher traps. It would make his ult more fun and have more depth. It's also ideal with the introduction of Killjoy. Also allows your team mates a somewhat safe path onto site. It would literally be a breach and clear kinda ult, really fun.

    Valorant needs a revamped penalty system that doesn't ban players who get disconnected because of a Cloudflare issue

    Posted: 11 Aug 2020 08:06 PM PDT

    It surprises me that the game can't detect whether a disconnection is related to a problem with your internet or a problem with Cloudflare/Riot's servers. I never intentionally leave games and yet I got a 60 minute ban after today's Cloudflare router problem.

    I know some people might say "it's only a 1 hour ban", but don't ban times accumulate? I have literally disconnected twice ever, once because my power went out and today because Cloudflare shit itself again. Also I'm not sure if this is true, but don't I get less EXP in the future by disconnecting?

    I just think Valorant needs to stop giving cooldowns because of servers problems. I'm telling you right now, it's not gonna make your players happy or motivate them to play if they're worried about getting a 1+ hour ban because of something they can't control.

    Riot in a way treat AFKs better than disconnections like this. It's pretty pathetic. The amount of people I have reported for being AFK in ranked without getting auto-kicked is laughable.

    Surrenders in unrated is getting ridiculous

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 04:22 AM PDT

    Just had my team surrender at round 5 - 4 times in a row in unrated.

    The worst part was that i went back into the queue, got put with the same 4 players in the next game. They apologised over mic and said they were just making smurf accounts to get to rated so they were going to surrender again. So i left the game, even worse I GOT PENALISED for leaving the game because i obv didnt want to play with them again.

    I'm literally getting 50% of matches being surrendered in unrated and i basically don't want to play valorant anymore.

    Do you think Killjoy is OP. Why? Why not?

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 05:13 AM PDT

    If you ask me.

    No she isnt.

    I'm D2 right now and her stuff gets destroyed every single time she places it somewhere. Those bots are loud as fuck. Her ult is good for pushing a site, but after her ult you'll face 5 enemies.

    The only thing I think needs a change are her swarm nades. That's waaaaay too much dmg. Especially in combination with the alarmbot.

    Cannot login? Login servers are unavailable?

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:56 PM PDT

    I'm so confused! When I try to launch Valorant, I have to login again but it doesn't work. I couldn't login on the website either. I'm guessing they are having issues with their servers. Anyone else having this issue?

    EDIT: from what I've seen in the comments, this is happening for a lot of EU players. The service status online states that there are no problems but there clearly is.

    You guys buying dragon skins have made a real impact on Tencent (a $650 billion company)

    Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:45 AM PDT

    In today's earnings call, Tencent's management highlighted this:

    " if you look at the game valorant, there's a customization option called the elder -- which basically transforms your guns into Dragons. And the Dragon's eat ammunition with that, Jaws and then spit out all it form flames. And it's -- it's amazing to look at. And I think that 5 or 10 years ago, the technology to be ready exist for people to customize their cars and and customize their guns and Dragons. And of course these higher technology Virtual items come with higher price points and many players choose not to purchase those. But if the once you purchase, I know there are looking, something that is actually really cool for themselves to enjoy really interesting to other players to see"
    "So what we see is that actually the willingness to purchase in game items and pricing of in game items on these modern day shooter games, sports games and so forth can catch up with or even overtake the role playing games, which pioneered the virtual item model. So that's a really big change, it's a change that and I think it's good for the game industry globally and its pretty good for Tencent because we tend to be over represented toward team based action games."

    The excerpt is from a rough call transcript from Bloomberg, hence the errors. You can listen to the audio replay here, and a transcript should be made available here.

    This is not a knock on anybody who bought the skins. I think those skins look very cool and if you can afford it and think they are worth the price by all means go for it. I thank you for subsidizing the development of the game for the rest of us. But it just seems though the strategy of higher quality, higher priced skins is working out quite well for Riot, so there really isn't much of an incentive to cater to a lower price point.

    I buy the battle passes even though I personally don't think the skins, especially in Act 2, are that compelling, because its a free to play game and I get dozens of hours of entertainment out of it per month. It's only fair. But I wish Riot would make more of an effort to offer skins at different price points - I know I would definitely end up spending more.

    Note: My previous post was taken down for not being clear on the source, so I am reposting with more detail on the source.
