| State of the Subreddit: Clips, Reposts and Survey Results! Posted: 16 Oct 2020 02:37 PM PDT Hey everyone, it's been quite a few months into the launch of Valorant and we've been monitoring the subreddit and also taking in feedback for how to handle the subreddit. We didn't want to act too fast on adding new rules and also took a few attempts at curbing these issues, but today we have some news to share regarding two very long requested changes: #1) Reworked rules regarding clips:We will be adjusting our current rules on clips to instead read the following:
This change is going to impact quite a bit of posts on the subreddit, so we would like to expand a little bit on our choice. Almost immediately after the inception of the subreddit, we started getting lots of "feedback" on the the frequency of clip posts in the subreddit. Despite having strict rules on clip length, the most common subreddit-moderation related complaint was always the number of clips. Based on this feedback, we started keeping track of the actual frequency of clips on the front page (the first 25 posts) and we included some questions about clips in the recent subreddit feedback survey (more on this later in the post!), in order to gauge the current volume of clips and to explore potential solutions. The main reason we have been hesistant on changing clip rules has been because the actual number of clips on the frontpage has not actually been that high. On an average day, we noted roughly 7 posts to be gameplay clips in some form. Considering we want this sub to accomodate all kinds of content, roughly 30% of posts being clips isn't necessarily bad. That said, lots of you spoke out on the feedback survey, with especially this graph being quite telling. Based on this feedback, we discussed various options. In particular, we considered the following: - Limit clips to a single daily/weekly clip thread. - Limit clips to certain days of the week. - Enforce a system where clips displaying "expected/common-place gameplay" are not allowed. - Enforce different minimum/maximum clip lengths based on the content in the clip (esports, setups, gameplay, etc..) In the end, we settled on the rule described above: disallow all clips/videos except eSports clips, informational clips, and clips linked in large text posts. Here's a flowchart that describes the process. In order to promote eSports content, we will be allowing any direct (gameplay/VALORANT related) clip showcasing plays from an eSports event. As noted in the rule, we define an eSports event as any tournament listed on the Liquipedia list of VALORANT tournaments, as long as the tournament is at least a C-Tier tournament. This should leave plenty of room for amateur tournament highlights to be linked on the sub, while also including plays from your favorite larger teams such as G2 and Sentinels. Similarly, setup videos and other informational content are still allowed. This content takes more effort to create than a simple gameplay clip and often end up with more productive discussions in the comments. We define informational content as any video that aims to teach, inform or spread new information. This includes patch rundown videos, official VALORANT content releases, and advanced mechanics such as Sova arrow setups. You can post this content directly, or in a text post (in case you want to link multiple videos, images, extra context, etc.). Videos in text posts will still have a duration for the minimum amount of time required for them to be posted as link posts. This is now to ensure that clips have substance still, rather then to accomplish the former goal of limiting easier to consume short clip content. This time is moving down to 15 seconds, and as with the other changes we will evaluate if this is too high or too low, or an entirely unnecessary addition to the above clip rules. Finally, in order to still allow videos to be used as "supporting content", we are also making an exception for videos linked in a text post that contains more than 1,000 characters of text. Our goal here is to ensure that posts that are primarily text but want to include a video can still do so, while at the same time ensuring that it is not too easy to write some filler to bypass the rules and submit your average Jett quadra. We want to note that we will be evaluating the community response and effectivity of this new rule. If this rule severely lowers the activity on the subreddit or if the community indicates their dislike of this new approach, we will definitely go back to the drawing board and try again. Please give us your thoughts on the rule below, and then again in a couple of weeks when the effects of the new rules are clear! TLDR: Want to post your clip? See this flowchart. #2) Modified repost ruleWe will be rewording our repost rule to state the following:
This change will hopefully increase clarity on this position as we improve our handling of reposts as a whole - we want people to consolidate their discussions unless they're approaching a topic from a new point of view. Nothing has changed here except wording to improve our enforcement consistency. We will be evaluating whether this vague definition of "high frequency" is enough to give consistent enforcement. If we end up having too many contentious removals due to the vagueness of the rule we will adjust it. Survey resultsYo, /u/RawStanky here with results from our feedback survey! In the interest of transparency, we will be sharing the results of the survey for all to see, as well as briefly comment on some of them. We will be using the results of the survey internally to guide our decisions, but given our internal process for proposing and implementing new guides and guidelines I can't promise any concrete changes yet. How would you currently rate the state of the subreddit?The average rating of the subreddit was 3 out of 5. While this is decent, we're obviously aiming to increase it. We hope that the new clip rules go a long way towards making that happen. What is your favorite thing about the subreddit?The most common answer to this question was by far "informative content". We will be attempting to promote such content by allowing it to be posted directly as part of our new clip rules. If any content creators specializing in informative content are reading this, be sure to send us a heads up in our modmail with your thoughts on our rules so we can hopefully make it easier for you to post your content here in the future! What is your least favorite thing about the subreddit?As discussed earlier in the post, the overwhelming majority of the most disliked content was clips. We're going to see if the new clip rules help with this. What are some changes you would like to see on the subreddit?This was a free form text, but again the majority was "remove/limit clips". Needless to say, we're trying to listen. Please indicate for each category of posts whether you'd like to see more or less of that kind of post.Check out this fancy-pants graph of the results! We have a few ideas in the pipeline already to promote other types of content, which we can hopefully share in the next few weeks. Would you be interested in community events on /r/Valorant?About two-thirds of the replies indicated they would be interested in community events. We will look into setting up some community tournaments or other events, but no promises yet! Do you think we should do more to promote esports?Again, roughly two-thirds of the replies answered yes to this question. We hope that allowing eSports clips to be directly posted will help promote esports, and we will also be looking into possibly promoting more post-match discussions for larger tournaments. Please give your reasoning for the previous questionThe general consensus was that people enjoy esports content and want /r/VALORANT to be a consistent hub for esports, much like /r/leagueoflegends and /r/csgo. What rules or changes would you instate if given the chance?Surprise surprise, more clip complaints! We heard you! How accessible/user-friendly are the rules to you?Here's a graph of the results. We will be looking into rewording some of the more vague rules, such as the repost rule earlier in this post. What are your current thoughts on the state of clips/videos on the subreddit?I think you can guess the answer to this question. Do you like the current minimum of 60 seconds for link post clips? (clips can still be posted in text posts if under 60 seconds)Roughly 60% indicated that the current approach for limiting clips was not sufficient. However, given that 40% indicated they were okay with the approach, we will still keep the current (new old) approach in mind in case we end up needing to change the clip rules. We will have more feedback forms in the future to gauge the state of the subreddit so always be sure to take the time to fill out the forms if you want to let us know your thoughts.

| PSA: Don’t overly tell your team what to do after you die. It’s annoying AF. Posted: 16 Oct 2020 01:02 AM PDT I'm not sure if anyone feels the same but I get really annoyed when dead players feel the need to tell you to do this or that as if they're trying to get a second life and controlling you. It's flooding the voice chat with unnecessary chatter and breaks my focus when I have to clutch. When I was in plat/diamond this was extremely uncommon, they know the rules and too much chatter could break concentration. But I recently moved down to gold/silver because I tried something silly (not deranking, just trying my best to play with a big ass cross hair) and almost every game has one or 2 of these guys who wont stop talking and telling you what to do without relaying much useful information or stating the obvious.

| PSA: Being toxic to someone performing badly only makes them play worse! Posted: 15 Oct 2020 02:57 PM PDT For some reason during this Act I started really badly with multiple bad performances and in each game I had a teammate that had to consistently call me out for bottom fragging. Doing this shit is toxic and only makes people like me play worse because you need confidence to aim well. So understand that we're not purposely playing badly so you can derank. Stop acting like that. It's fucking annoying and makes ranked unenjoyable. [link] [comments] | ||
| I hit my most insane 1v4 clutch to win the game Posted: 16 Oct 2020 12:08 PM PDT Hope you enjoy me getting stunned, flashed, and almost detained before clutching up. This was in an Immortal ~2 average rank lobby [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 16 Oct 2020 04:04 AM PDT I spent HOURS making this, but it was pretty fun. I hope you find it useful! Please leave a like + subscribe if you dig my content and I might consider making more! There's a dumb falling smoke setup in mid I came up with if you stay and watch until the end ;) Feedback much appreciated as well! [link] [comments] | ||
