    My teammates thought I sounded like Phoenix so they wanted me to do a voice line. I did it at what might have been the best time and their reactions were super cool.

    What the hell happened to Raze's "mia familia" and "Salvador" lines?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 08:00 AM PDT

    Wtf happened between this patch and the previous one?

    In the previous one, the "Ah, surrounded by mia familia! We won't lose!" was so much more enthusiastic. Now it's just plain and boring. Why was that one changed? The previous one was awesome.

    Also the "You can take the girl out of Salvador, but you can never take the girl out of Salvador. Wait..." line also became pretty weird since this patch. Why would they even make these changes?

    “Use Your Ultimate 50 Times” is way too high for a weekly mission that gives the same amount of exp as the rest

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 12:51 PM PDT

    Now I'm not advocating for weekly's to be super easy to complete but in terms of games to complete, use your ultimate 50 times is comically higher than the rest

    My three this week are 45 headshots 30 plant or defuse and 50 ultimates

    After completing the first 2 I only have 17 ult uses

    Now I could definitely get that if I spammed spike rush especially with a 6 point ult character but you shouldn't have to farm a weekly when every other mission can be completed in a reasonable number of games

    I think it should be lowered to 25 or 30 or at the least the reward should be increased because even if you pop off and use an ult 5 times in unrated it would still take you 10 games or roughly 5-7 hours of game play but that's only if you're using your ult 5 times a game

    Point is that the quest doesn't match the reward and it should be adjusted

    Is it just me or is there too many smurf accounts out there nowadays?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 07:24 AM PDT

    I'm in plat 3 and so I usually play with players somewhere between p1 to d2. And almost every game, these players seemingly feel like smurfs always rushing, playing hyper aggressive, and etc. The level of gameplay from coming outta gold to high plat changed drastically. It went from playing safely behind boxes and walls to watching yourself get rekt by a jett e'ing into mid haven every round since the start of pistol round for a good 3 rounds and that jett still maintain being the top fragger on their team somehow.

    In almost every plat 3 games I had, there's always criticizing within the team, player afking and etc. And everytime that happens, people at this rank doesn't seem to care if they afk or not. Since apparently everyone around my rank got other accounts they could hop onto. They would literally brag about it in voice comp so I'm just sitting there like ok... I'm told to get gud... but your literally on a smurf account.

    Edit: So I recently checked the valorant leaderboard on blitz.gg (which might not be the most accurate but it gives a good look at the top players out there) and I would be seeing players playing like 5 games getting up to radiant. And you would know that they are the same players just on different accounts getting to radiant because of the exact same name they have and the exact amount of games they played with dominating in game score. People would just repeatedly create smurfs just to quickly reach higher ranks then drop off the account that reach radiant just to create more smurfs and rinse and repeat.

    I know that higher rank players got longer queue time. But I also believe Riot really set the bars too low on the amount of unrated games required to play competitive. 20 games is almost too simple, as even unrated surrender games counts too.

    If you want to use these, you are more than welcome, no credit needed. If you would like higher resolution images or raw files as .xcf files, I can share a dropbox link in the comments or DM you. I am considering re-animating this, but it's quite time consuming on GIMP, so I'll see if I can.

    Pretty much what the title says. Make Sage say "For Me" when she heals herself. I just think it would be pretty funny to hear that, unless you are lower than the sage.

    The amount of Omen abilities used per round is not showing.

    The amount of Omen abilities used per round is not showing.

    I'm not sure if this is posted already, but during post-match when you see the scoreboard, the statistics on how much abilities were used per round is missing. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature.

    Please Trade

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 09:08 AM PDT

    I'm a plat 1 player and it amazes me how many people don't know the fundamentals of the game. My aim may not be that good but in plat, you should at least know how to trade.

    For example, I'll be with my sage pushing a short on heaven and we will literally be touching shoulders then I will call out there is a guy close. I would entry and take the 2v1 duel only to die and see my teammate hiding behind a corner baiting me.

    So annoying

    I created a Valorant Battle Pass Calculator

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 11:02 AM PDT

    Hey everyone!

    As many of you probably have done, I've bought the battle pass. I like all the stuff that it gives you and also I get a sense of completion once I reach the last tier. Last Act (Act I) me and my friends also bought it, but didn't pay too much attention on how much XP we needed to complete it. We totally underestimated it. We took up on the foolish task on completing the last 30 tiers in just two weeks. It was a grinding nightmare, but we made it. For that to happen it was very important to know how much we needed to grind each day to achieve our goal, so I started to make calculations on a spreadsheet. I would take the average duration of a match and the XP we were winning to make an approximation on how much we needed to play.

    After some time, it became bothersome to use it on a daily basis. Also, it was only me who could access the spreadsheet, so I needed to tell my friends each time they wanted to know their calculations. It became clear that it would be a better idea to make something that we could all use. Thus came the idea of creating a website to access all the information we needed at any time.

    I started to create the website on my spare time (because I'm also a college student) and on the last days of the act it reached the point where we could actually use it; and believe me, it was pretty useful. Without it it would've been impossible for us to finish it. The next thing I wanted to do was to make it available for any other player that wanted to use it. If it was useful to us, then it could help another fellow player. I then continued to add new stuff and also bought a server to host it and a custom domain name (I was using a free hosting service, not good for high usage). Finally, I can say with pride that the page is finished, and I want to make it available for you to use it at your convenience.

    As I said before, the calculations are based on an average, so the obtainable XP from a Normal match and the duration of a Normal and Spike Rush are just approximations. The XP from Spike Rush is fixed, so that one is accurate. The daily challenges are just two challenges of 2000 XP per day, and the weekly challenges are an estimation taking into account the XP given in the last Act. Each week the given XP increases, so it's normal to receive more in the last weeks.

    Please feel free use this calculator however you want to, and I hope it will help you finish the battle pass. Please do tell me if it was useful to you. Of course I'm all open to suggestions and new ideas, so feel free to tell me. If you find any bug, please also contact me!

    Would love to see the rank distribution

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 12:36 AM PDT

    Now that a whole ranked act has finished, I think it would be really cool if riot released some data on the percentage of players in each rank. Cuz right now, your rank doesn't feel super meaningful since there's no solid info on how good each rank actually is. It would be nice to be able to look at my rank and say "oh cool that means I'm in the top x% of players."

    Tips for any lower rank players like me that want to quickly gain a few ranks.

    Posted: 16 Aug 2020 03:22 AM PDT

    So I've been playing pc for about 4 months so I was understandably pretty damn bad. In beta I was iron 1 and was awful. Going on to full release I was still iron and my aim had improved a little but not enough to make a huge difference. Now I watched a video a couple of days ago, sorry I can't remember the name :(, but it actually had some super useful info for a lower level player like myself. I know for a lot of higher rank players this may seem like blatantly obvious stuff but it helped me a lot and I've seen these things in my lower rank games all the time.

    1. Playing for kills.

    Again this may seem super obvious but the amount of people in lower ranks who only play for kills is astounding. There are so many people who will be on defence and instantly try to push into the enemy to try and get a couple of frags but most likely end up getting mauled straight away. It's ok to stick to one site even if you aren't getting kills. Just because you aren't getting kills doesn't mean you aren't doing something useful.

    1. Map control

    Going off the first point is getting greedy for action. What I mean by this is if you are holding a and you see that there's a few people b absolutely everyone will rotate and try to get some of the action. It happens all the time in lower rank games. Unless everyone on the enemy team is on b and you have someone covering the flanks you probably shouldn't leave where you are unless your teams getting destroyed. There have been quite a few times where I've been holding a site and the enemy will push the other one then rotate to mine and because I didn't rotate off I managed to get some kills when they weren't expecting me to be there and buy time for my team.

    1. Not camping spike

    So many teammates on defence will kill someone with the spike then immediately leave it to go hunting. Especially if we have player advantage. I think it's a decent idea for maybe one duelist to go and try to pick up a trade or just cover a slightly different angle that's away from the spike that they wouldn't expect but don't let the entire team just leave the spike cause that just opens you up to them sneakily grabbing the spike and planting, which forces you to act predictably, giving them back the advantage.

    1. Baiting

    And finally ability baiting. I never really thought of the abilities as that important and was always hyper focused on gun play. But after watching over some of my Vods, most of my deaths were because of a good ability from the enemy. So I learned to bait out abilities or even use abilities to bait a site and stop the enemy team from rotating. What I like to do is deliberately make a bit of noise where the enemy raze is and the almost always boombot, which I shoot, then try to grenade. I've learnt to dodge and avoid these abilities and so quite often the raze has just lost two huge abilities. One that's great for info and one that's great for delaying pushes and punishing stacking. Also a lot of lower rank razes will try to swing you if they didn't kill you with the nade thinking you'll be weak which gives you a chance to remove her completely.

    (Edit) 5. Lower sense

    Also one thing a lot of people have pointed out that I think could help is maybe lower your sensitivity. Now I think about it there's lots of times I've seen people play where they probably had way too high sense to play properly. It's something that is said is good to help track and flick shot but especially in the lower ranks where the aim isn't the best anyway it's probably just going to hinder more than it helps.

    Edit: I know aim plays a huge role in lower ranks and that the only way to get much higher is by getting good aim. This is just a quick way to gain a few easy ranks without putting too much work into mechanically improving
