    100T Announces Final Roster for VALORANT!

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:02 PM PDT

    The up/down arrow system is misleading; if riot doesn’t want to keep it, I think it would be better completely hidden (Like CSGO)

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 07:14 AM PDT

    The quantity of up/down arrows is pretty ambiguous. I've got some friends deranking after getting a one down arrow loss directly after a two up arrow win. Clearly the quantitative values of "an arrow" are meaningless, and thus I see them as useless.

    Brimstone probably smells like rotten eggs

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 08:49 AM PDT

    Brimstone is another word for sulfur. So you can probably assume his smoke screens and molly are made in part from sulfur. The man probably smells like rotten eggs and wet socks on the daily but no one has mentioned it to him cause he's the captain. Or he just smells like rotten eggs in general, and his abilities don't have sulfur. His nickname came to be just cause he smells like hell's ass on fire.

    Hide Ranks in Game

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 06:02 AM PDT

    Why is this not a feature? What are the benefits of showing your teammates/enemies ranks in game?

    I don't see why this hasn't been implemented yet. Show ranks at the end of the game like CS, please. So sick of teammates giving up or thinking less of someone else because of an arbitrary image next to someone's name.

    Solutions to the smurfing problem

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 08:52 AM PDT

    Hello guys!

    Smurfing in this game, as in many other multiplayer competitive games, is an actual issue. It skews the matchmaking system, and therefore the mmr of different players, it results in frustrating gameplay, and directly attacks competitive integrity. There are many ways to detriment smurfing, though, and we can see some already implemented in Valorant, but there could be a lot more done about this issue.

    First, let me clarify, there are 2 types of smurfs, both should NOT happen, but one of these types is not as bad as the other. The first kind, and not-so-bad kind of smurfing, is the guy who has reached all rewards the game has to offer to him, and makes a new account to attain this rewards again. Often will end up being placed high in the ladder and rank up fast as he is playing to win all of his games. This type of smurfing hurts the game, but not for so long and not as much as the other type, because the player will usually end up in his righteous rank in not so many matches.

    The second type of smurfing is the worst kind, and in my opinion it should be worthy of a ban; and it's the guy who is stuck at X ELO, and decides to make a new account only to be able to win more games. He will purposely throw his unranked games, and then his placements, in order to get to his real rank as slowly as possible. He will also probably throw games when he seems to be getting where he is supposed to be, not caring at all for his teammates and only looking for his personal satisfaction.

    Now, to the point, how do we fix this?! There are many ways of getting people on one account only, some are prohibitive, while some are not. Prohibitive stuff often will work but it is definitely not the best. If the problem can be fixed without a prohibitive solution, we are talking about a real fix.

    1) Prohibitive solutions

    • Tie accounts to cellphone numbers
    • Only enable accounts that have spent some money on in-game stuff to play ranked
    • Tie rank with HWID so new accounts will get the same rank as old accounts (this one won't work on shared computers)
    • Increase the amount of unranked games needed to play ranked by a big number (60 games maybe?).

    2) Incentives - the real fix

    • Right now, the only incentive we have to play on one account is to fill up our act rank or to get to a certain rank we ourselves have set as an objective. While the act rank incentive is cool and a step in the right direction, more needs to be done.
    • Rewards for amount of matches won; this rewards could be in steps of 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, etc... The rewards should be actually GOOD and not some silly thing, so people will try to grind for them. Ie.: skins for the most used weapons.
    • Rewards for reaching a rank: the game could set an objective for each account, based on its current MMR, and if the account gets to the objective, it would get a reward. AGAIN, the reward should be GOOD. No reward system will work if what we are rewarding players with is something they can say "nvm, I won't get it anyways".
    • Rewards for amount of matches played! This should be set very high. So even a player that's losing a lot will have something to look up to.
    • Random per account, hidden rewards that would only be obtainable via lots of grinding. So the players will keep playing because they never know when they might be getting a reward. Ie.: Get a 1000 kills with a Classic. (remember the player won't know what mission they get, so all of a sudden they would get this reward and say "oh my god, I got THAT many kills with a Classic?"

    You get the point! Something about smurfing I think needs to be done because it is one hell of an issue in VALORANT right now.

    TLDR.: Smurfing is bad, and it can be fixed non-prohibitively by giving real incentives for the players to grind a single account.

    Have a nice day!

    The Best/Weirdest Operator Sniping Angles

    Posted: 01 Oct 2020 09:46 PM PDT

    Omen, Breach, Sova, Cypher, Phoenix fanarts i made :)

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 06:11 AM PDT

    Omen . Breach . Sova . Phoenix . Cypher . All together

    I decided to create my favourite valorant agents in my own style. Hopefully if you guys like it, I'd definitely love to create other agents too. Gotta work real hard on female agents because they look very masculine with box shaped heads but I'll try :)

    Please let me know if you ever saw anything similar to this style of art, so that i can make my art more original.

    I can try to create other people too. You guys can personally message me ;) here's my IG

    Let me just say that I'm so glad they didn't add OP scoping sounds as a nerf - like in CS

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 06:12 AM PDT

    I saw suggestions from a lot of people out here that adding a scoping sound would be a suitable nerf to the OP being op (like in CS).

    I'm just glad they didn't because given the state of directional sounds in this game, adding a scoping sound would be more of a buff and would just add more confusion, making the OP more op.

    yes.

    Mumbai servers are now live!

    Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:37 PM PDT

    This is going to be great for everyone on the APAC shard. Middle eastern players get around 30-60 ping on it too, until they receive their own bahrain servers (hopefully) this month. With first strike tournament soon, this is sure to help.

    Don’t sabotage your team in ranked games

    Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:46 PM PDT

    Just lost a ranked game where two teammates were jumping from heaven b in split and dying from fall damage. Constantly our killjoy was throwing her nades at us and insulting me and my country with some racist crap. Don't be these guys. If you want to be toxic don't go fuck everyone's experience.
