    We should be allowed to spectate our friends, who are playing in a different party.

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 12:04 AM PST

    It would be great to add this feature, so as, we can guide or learn some cool tricks from our friends. When a person wants to spectate his/her friends, he/she should be able to send a request to spectate his/her friend's match from their pov. Now this request should be accepted by the friend for him/her to spectate the match.

    Edit1: The spectator should not be allowed to use their mics, however they can use the whisper chat. Also tthe spectator should only be able to spectate his/her friend (not the whole team).

    I got my first ACE today!!!

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 04:19 AM PST

    I'm Iron 1, I play like 4 games a week max because I'm ass at shooters, but I decided to queue up this morning and ended up getting a 1v5 ace with the OP. I wish I had the clip but I don't record my valorant games because I'm bad. Just wanted to share, I'm so happy right now.

    Radiant Plays Explained with Voice Over - Skye, Raze, Omen, Breach, Jett plays

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 02:55 AM PST

    This game needs a Leaver Rating

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:24 PM PST

    This is one of the very few things Heroes Of Newerth did correctly before that game died

    Essentially a Leaver Rating is this:

    If you leave over a certain percentage of your matches before they finish, whether it's due to quitting the game or disconnecting or going afk, you are no longer allowed to play ranked game modes and then have to play unranked only until that percentage goes back into the green.

    In HoN this put a major emphasis on seeing games through to the end because leaving carried a major punishment that wasn't just a time out.

    We need a skin shuffle!

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 10:51 AM PST

    I know its a small thing, and some people might consider it unneeded, but with how hard Riot is pushing cosmetics for this game I feel like having some sort of skin shuffle option to turn on and off for individual guns per game is kind of needed. Thoughts?

    Could we possibly get precise ELO numbers?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 10:29 AM PST

    I love number-based comparison and the arbitrary arrows that are assigned when you win ranked games or lose them, they literally are so inaccurate, it can be anywhere from "one game to division uprank" to "on the precipice of division downrank". I know it causes Rank anxiety, so, just make it optional. Give us ELO numbers to hit. How kills affect ELO. In what ratio does our ELO increase depending on ratio of round win-loss. It helps massively for me, since I get anxiety seeing those random arrows, and I'd love to just have a number-based aim going into the game(I want to go up by 100 ELO tonight by winning 2 games in a row, for example).

    By default, the option is off, but it can be turned on. You can only view your ELO and the ELO of your friends. You cannot view the ELO of the enemy team players(unless one of them is your friend, then you can only view that person's ELO). All this will bring into control, to some level, in-game tilt from descriptive ELOs, and people who just don't want to deal with it can turn it off totally (it will be off by default).

    Edit: u/baruse suggested a totem pole-like system, where only arrow numbers are shown. It'll keep ELO as vague as possible, while giving some level of precision.

    Why EU First Strike qualifiers are so poorly organised compared to NA?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 11:44 AM PST

    There are a lot of complains coming from pros about bo1/brackets/random seeds etc

    But there's also a viewer side... Why NA had like what... 10 streams or something so we can actually watch matches, while in EU there's barely anything - I think there are some Turkish and Arabic streams with casters (at least that's what I saw on the first day of qualifiers) and rest is up to players if they actually want to stream this... like... hello? Why literally a major region is treated like that?

    I'm actually very curious if there's any info about that, because I really enjoy watching these matches and it sucks that I literally have to either watch turkish/arabic casters (which for me is unbearable, since I can't understand anything) or looking for POVs of the players that actually speak English.

    Have a good one.

    Why is there always a instalock Reyna?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 02:44 PM PST

    Every game, someone instalocks Reyna. It doesn't matter if it's their first time, it doesn't matter if they don't know how to play duelist, they just instalock it.

    Instalock reyna's, why do you do that? What makes Reyna so special that you have to instalock it and tilt people in agent select?

    I can't get solid 60 FPS anymore since new patch

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:13 PM PST

    So, I was wondeeing whether any of you have run into the same issue. My setup is pretty old, although I could manage to get solid 60 FPS most of the time with the lowest graphic settings. After the new patch, I'm always playing at fluctuating "50-60" FPS and sometimes it goes down to even 40 FPS to then go again up and down. Won't even tell you what my FPS during fights usually are. Besides, I get random drops to 0 FPS for like a second (thankfully not during combat time so far). Is any of you going through the same thing? Have you found any solutions? The game was running pretty good so far, but now it makes it very difficult to focus on 1v1 fights with all these issues.

    [Suggestion] Total playtime and Agent Based

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 04:05 AM PST

    Heyo devs! I'm not sure if this would be an easy feature to implement and it's probably not your main focus right know but, having a way to see the total playtime and playtime between agents would be super cool.

    You should be able to see who’s partied up in competitive games on both teams

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 10:29 AM PST

    It seems kind of unreasonable that soloing you can queue into a 5 stack premade. Hell even queuing into a 3 stack with 5 solos is such a disadvantage. At the very least it would make me feel better knowing why the other team is so coordinated in comparison to a regular pug team

    When english isn't your first language and you're trying to make a lineup guide for Reddit...

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 10:13 AM PST

    We should be allowed to deselect agents after locking then in agent selection screen.

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:04 PM PST

    I think adding this feature would greatly improve gameplay specially when you are queuing random in both competitive and unranked. Most of the time the team is always unbalanced and players spam select that one agent they wanna play and they can't change it after which later affect the gameplay greatly as they can't defend or attack effectively.

    Euro pricing tiers for Valorant Points makes no sense.

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 12:15 PM PST

    Euro pricing tiers for Valorant Points makes no sense.

    Current Pricing Tiers in Italy (Euro)

    Premise: this is NOT a post complaining about skin pricing, but payment pricing tiers!

    What I want to address is that Valorant Points here in Italy (Euro €) are tiered in a nonsensical way)!

    First of all, the 500 Points tier is almost useless, you can literally buy nothing with it, the only usage may be to fill the Valorant Points remaining from a previous purchase.

    The 1150 Points tier is fine, perfect to buy a Battle pass, although I would rather just see a flat 1000 Points tier at maybe 10.99€ instead of 11.99€!

    The 21.99€ tier is a joke, cause it gives 2150 Points which is 25 points shy of some of the exclusive edition skins, just put a 22.99€ tier or just higher to points to 2175! Then there is nothing, the next tier into the list is double the price of the last one, why isn't there a 35€ tier like in league of legends? I have no idea.

    And even at a whopping 43.99€ you get 4400 points which is not enough for getting the battle pass and 2 Premium+ tier skins, which require 1000+1775+1775=4550 Points, again, shy of 150 points! A 44.99€ tier is much better for 4550 Points!

    At this point the 53.99€ tier makes, again, zero sense, why is there a new tier at only 10 euro difference from the last? You could have a 75€ option which will be filling a missing slot and you will be able to get a full pack like the Ion collection at 7100 Points.

    The 99.99€ euro option is fine, you can get a pack and battle pass, even the expensive packs, nothing to complain here.

    I would much prefer a tiering like the following: 10.99€ option for battle pass which will be a flat 1000 points, 21.99€ option will be bumped to 2175, a 34.99€ option with 3500 points (enough for ultra edition + battlepass) and then 43.99€, 74.99€ and 99.99€ tier for the high end! Much more balanced.

    At the end you probably have the data that shows what payment tier people use the most and you might as well confirm or deny my statements. Thanks for the long read, I hope you find this feedback useful.

    2 Secret Valorant hidden codes

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:16 AM PST

    2 Secret Valorant hidden codes

    \" Kingdom 0Z 07A1C \"

    \" Kingdom 0Z 07A1C \"

    \" Valorant Protocol 3HDI002TMP2 \"

    \" Valorant Protocol 3HDI002TMP2 \"

    there should be a specific algoritem to these two codes if anyone could think of anything... information is appreciated.

    (Kingdom is a Big corporation in the Valorant Universe)(Valorant Protocol is the organization our agents work for)

    In the past we also got similar codes that followed a different pattern... such as the number Skye has on her back and on her arms:

    16=p

    12=l

    1=a

    14=n

    20=t

    161211420 means \"plant\" which is the yellow thing on the right

    Cost reduction/discounts on Christmas, and proper costs of vp. Methods of earning vp

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 05:26 AM PST

    So we know that the costs of vp is high/low for some, so it would have been good if they added discount or something during huge festivals, and we also know that vp is not always the greatest since they are not buyable at a significant cost if they gave 1,250 instead of 1,150 we could just buy another 550 instead of 500 to get 1,800 with which you could buy a skin in the valorant skin store.

    And if they added a way you could earn vp from the free act pass, that would be amazing so players who cannot afford vp can save it up from the free act pass and possibly get their first skin.

    I hope what I've said is all clear and fairly understandable.

    This is just an opinion, please refrain from attacking me. Thank you.

    Stop thinking about your rank, their rank, ranking system, and use that mental energy to improve your own game

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 09:30 PM PST

    I truly never understood people complaining about the ranking system. I would understand the complaints if the ranking system was unfair, but its not. We all play under the same ranking system. Hiko doesn't get special treatment cuz hes Hiko. Nope! He plays under the same system as anyone else. So why is it that Hiko can consistently get to radiant while playing under the same ranking system and you cant? Its simply because you arent as good as you think you are.

    TLDR: Stop crying, get better.

    Chat box won't go away

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:48 PM PST

    The chat box stays on my screen for the whole game. When I press esc, enter, click on the screen, whatever, the typing bar goes away, however the rest of the window stays open like this

    Anyone have a fix? Might just reinstall, its super annoying.

    Basically the title Every time I try to sign into valorant it says "We couldn't connect to the server. Please check your internet connection and VPN settings." before this was showing up every time I launched the game it said that there was an error, and each time it was a different error. Any one know why this is happening? I've tried restarting my pc, uninstalling and reinstalling, and ending all valorant tasks in task manager.

    Any Tips on Getting over Losing Rank Anxiety?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 09:17 AM PST

    Hey guys and gals,

    I'm currently Plat 2 and I've been steadily grinding with some success. I was a hardstuck plat 1 and decided to switch it up by playing only once a day in the morning. I've gotten into plat 2 and focused primarily on the quality of my games rather than the quantity and with work, can't devote much time to it as I'd like.

    At the moment today. I'm off of work. I played my one game in the morning and lost my rank up game to Plat 3. I want to keep playing today but can't help and feel the anxiety and possibility of losing another match. How do you guys combat this?

    I keep telling myself that it's just a game and that this act will be over in a couple months and the ranks will reset etc. I've been on the bitter end of losing streaks and I don't know how I'd feel if I lose my plat 2 status.

    I feel like I'm way too attached to the rank. Do you guys have any tips on getting over this? Do you guys recommend just forgetting about the rank system and just play? I try to tell myself this all the time but it's easier said than done.

    Dodging is a right and allowed - and is harming no one.

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:01 PM PST

    We all have been there more than once: time to pick the agent but you don't trust your team that much: 2 or more players without voice (very common on EU), the player doing placement claiming that he/she "will carry" and so on.

    If I don't select an agent, I have a reason to do so and should not be filled with hate messages - text and/or voice while I wait the time to expire.

    When that happens I can only think of how toxic my team would be if we went into the game and started losing.

    So please, respect those who prefer to dodge instead to be thrown into a match they are not feeling that confident.
