    100 Thieves deserves some respect

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 08:11 AM PST

    Its so sad seeing teams and their fans discredit 100T even after winning first strike. It's like they always find a reason or an excuse why they lost against 100T.

    New Valorant Agent Easter Egg on Icebox

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 11:39 AM PST

    Just noticed this cool Easter Egg on Icebox.

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 10:48 AM PST

    Just noticed this cool Easter Egg on Icebox.

    While I was looking at the new changes to Icebox I noticed this little tag on one of the boxes.

    Tag on box toward attacker side spawn.

    There's an address on the tag that says "THE KINGDOM CORP. 12333 W OLYMPIC BLV. LOS ANGELES, CA, 50054" which happens to be the address of Riot Games Inc.

    Valorant Pro Tips/Playstyles to help improve your game sense - Analysis of First Strike

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 09:25 AM PST

    After watching First Strike Korea and First Strike North America, I analyzed some plays that were interesting and showcased game sense and the evolution of Valorant from the early days.

    Examples are shown here: https://youtu.be/uMi54Fs4Yiw

    1. Learn Timings of Abilities and Smokes
    2. Fight for ability orbs/pressure those areas at beginning of the round
    3. Coordinate/Combine certain abilities with your teammates
    4. Have a lurker apply pressure (mainly on attack)
    5. Light Buy 3rd round if your team won the first two rounds of the half
    6. Frenzy has become more meta in pistol round - at least in Korea
    7. Breach is one of/the best agent for post-plant

    Learning Timings of Abilities and Smokes

    By learning/memorizing the timings of abilities and smokes, this will let you coordinate with your team for strategic pushes or allow you to position yourself and utilize the smokes/abilities to your advantage.

    Some examples:

    • Main example in the video is 100T Asuna using his boombot 2 seconds before the dark cover fades which makes T1 Spyder adjust his aim and is not prepared when the dark cover goes away and Asuna appears and gets the frag on T1 Spyder.
    • Jett Smoke and Cypher Cage lasts for 7 seconds - can use these to cover yourself while you stick the bomb.
    • Run it Back (Phoenix Ult) and Showstopper (Raze ult) both last for 10 seconds. Once you hear the voice line, look up at the match timer to know when these will expire.
    • For defusing, look at table below. Use this information to know when to shoot your abilities on the spike or how long it will last for for you to start defusing.
    Ability Time
    Brimstone Molly 8 Seconds
    Killjoy Nanoswarm 5 Seconds
    Viper Snakebite 8 seconds
    Brimstone Ultimate 4 Seconds
    Phoenix Hothands 4 seconds

    Fight for ability orbs/pressure those areas at beginning of the round

    Ultimates are game changers which is why I noticed teams are constantly fighting for them. Teams are throwing down a ton of utility at the start to gain control of the area or to pressure the area to deny the enemy team the orb.

    When playing default, try and have your team apply pressure to those areas. If you also know that the enemy is not there, try and pick it up for free (mainly on defense) before rotating.

    Coordinate/Combine certain abilities with your teammates

    Combine your abilities with your teammates abilities, below are some common combinations I have seen in competitive and also in First Strike.

    • Breach Flash/After Shock with Jett Dashing in
    • Sova Drone followed up by Raze nade/ultimate
    • Breach ultimate with Raze ultimate - easy way to secure kills
    • Raze boombot with a flash (Breach, Reyna, Phoenix)

    Also use your ultimates/abilities to apply pressure to a site and to also cover the sound of footsteps. In the video example, Vision Strikers are pushing towards B-site with just 3 members. They have Sova use his ultimate and Jett to dash in throwing smokes to cover site along with a dark cover on elbow to really sell this push. Breach takes TP but this can be considered a fake TP by Omen which makes TNL over rotate and waste time getting ready to retake site. VS are able to plant at A-Site and have optimal post plant positions due to TNL reacting slowly and are able to secure the win.

    Have a lurker apply pressure (mainly on attack)

    On attack, have a teammate play the role of lurker. This person will apply pressure and make noise at one site which can confuse the enemy. This person does not need to fully engage the defending team.

    If the rest of the attacking team have setup for an execute onto the other site, this will cause the defending team to rotate. The lurker will be able to possibly get a free pick or a free site which then the rest of the attacking team can rotate. The attacking team could also play more mindgames and pretend to rotate to the lurker but then go back to the other site.

    This lurker role was played perfectly by Subroza during Map 1 of TSM vs ENVY. Every round Subroza will apply pressure to B-Site. Round 9 played out exactly as I mentioned in the above paragraph - TSM threw down a bunch of smokes on A-Site while Subroza was still in B-Main. With the combination of Omen Ult and Subroza spamming through the smoke to break market doors, ENVY rotated back towards B-Site after not hearing anything in A-Main. This allowed for TSM to get a free bomb plant and round.

    Light Buy 3rd round if your team won the first two rounds of the half

    I noticed this in my competitive games in Diamond/Immortal, but also have seen pro teams start to do this as well - mainly Vision Strikers.

    If your team wins the first two rounds of the half, most of the time your team should just buy light on the 3rd round. This means having your credit balance to be at least 2000 when the round starts since if you lose the round, you get 1900 credits which will get you full armor + phantom/vandal next round.

    Vision Strikers like to will also opt for a spectre on full-buy rounds to save more money, but this could just be due to them having confidence and knowing that they can win duels with their smg and take the enemy's guns.

    Frenzy has become more meta in pistol round - at least in Korea

    The frenzy has become a more popular pick for pistol rounds and rounds after. The frenzy allows players to:

    • Spray at multiple enemies running in
    • Run & Gun with decent accuracy to get a kill
    • Massive aimpunch when shot in head

    Breach is one of/the best agent for post-plant

    Breach (imo) is one of the best agents for post-plant scenarios. In the video example, Stax is able to hold of the enemy on A-Site Ascent with his abilities. His aftershock covers the entire area, he uses his flash which allows Rb to peek and get easy kills, and his concuss also goes into heaven when he is underneath.

    This is just one specific example of how Breach is able to hold off the enemy, however playing Breach requires the player to coordinate with his team which may be more difficult in Solo Queue/Ranked.

    Thanks for reading/watching. Please feel free to provide any comments/feedback and hope that this was knowledgeable.

    This game needs vote-kick system.

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 09:15 AM PST

    As the title suggests valorant in dire need of vote-kick system.

    Some griefers is intentionally staying afk and moves once in a while, watches you lose rounds after rounds. You cant do anything about it. There was a guy in one of my games. He was taking the spike and not planting it. Causing you to lose rounds. Shock darts and ults teammates. Donates weapons to enemies. Gives info about your whereabouts. You can report it sure but its a FREE TO PLAY game. It doesnt matter that much if you get banned or not.

    And i think vote-kick system will make it hard to be toxic. Because you have to be nice or you are facing a risk. Your teammes can kick you.

    I m also avare that system can be used for trolling or sth. But it will do a lot good than harm. There is no reason all 4 guy will kick one innocent teammate for nothing.

    NEW PATCH - Icebox Rework, New Gamemode & Sage Buffs - Hitscan VALORANT

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 06:56 AM PST

    Sage should be able to heal her wall to increase its duration?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 07:26 AM PST

    Just putting the idea out there. What do you think about this type of buff?

    Functions within Feature may include...

    • Healing the wall increases its default duration by 10/20 seconds
    • Healing wall might fix any damage that occurred in a slow / instant way

    or

    • Allowing walls to consume slow orbs for extra health

    Pros:

    • It will help the durability of the wall over time allowing it to be used more defensively if placed too early in a round
    • Adding a passive ability that allows more options with sages strategy
    • Sages kit will be more useful late into rounds

    Cons:

    • The defensive meta will be expanded on

    New type of AFKers

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 08:47 AM PST

    Right now I'm in a ranked game (yes, I'm writing this after I died), the sova (unfortunately in streamer mode) is just standing at spawn, shooting each second one bullet out of his gun to make sure he won't gat kicked). That's it. It's destroying all fun of the game, way more than average AFK, because he's actually giving us no value (usually you'd get an ult orb and some money) and grinding XP and ranks on won matches.

    Not enough people know about VALORANT's ping system.

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 04:52 AM PST

    For those of you that don't have mics or are unaware and spam in chat about where the spike or enemies are; you should know about valorant's very epic ping system:

    Holding "," (comma) ingame:

    https://imgur.com/a/Be0shPa

    Holding comma is obviously not easy, especially while in the middle of a gunfight; which is where holding Z comes in. This is a much more straight forward ping wheel, and can and will save you the time to spam "all a" in chat

    Holding "Z" ingame:

    https://imgur.com/nQHu2LC

    There is also another method, which is mostly used for banter, but can be equally useful: pressing "." (period)

    Pressing :"." ingame:

    https://imgur.com/a/JzTP2DB

    This one is useful for before the barrier drops: Setting up sites, flanks or having friendly banter.

    Hope this helps you, and hopefully I see less spam in my iron lobbies :_)

    RANKED change in patch notes that was not included in the American version of the notes

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 12:11 PM PST

    ‭•/ The rank distribution has been adjusted to help lower level players move up •/ This system was previously disabled due to performance issues

    Apparently this wasn't added in the patch notes on the American version for some reason. Perhaps wasn't meant to be included in any version. Either way it's interesting because it might explain why so many people have been stuck low-elo this season.

    How to get to top of this box with 2 blast packs on new icebox

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 10:23 AM PST

    I think seeing the agent/map your friends are playing on the sidebar would be a nice addition.

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 05:59 AM PST

    It doesn't provide much, or have a lot of impact but i think it would be a solid QoL change. Here is a rough draft of how it could be implemented.

    Death match should have instant respawns

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 01:24 PM PST

    Waiting 3 second to respawn is just a wast of time and it often took you out of focus when you are trying to warm up, instant respawn is what we need.
