    My 10 yr old son is Diamond 2. How good is he really?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2021 06:59 PM PST

    I bought him a gaming pc about one and a half years ago. He started playing fortnite, then overwatch. He reached diamond and his older brother started telling me he is really good. He began playing Valorant about 6 months ago. He is diamond2. Now he wants me to support him further by letting him play 5+hours a day. As a parent, my immediate response is 'of course not' but wanted to get your opinion.

    I drew Jett wearing a Hanbok! - Agent skin idea

    Hi I'm Paeona and when I'm not making Emotes for Streamers, I probably play Valorant all day.I recently posted some of my Valorant emotes on here (sadly deleted!) and it inspired me to do a "bigger" drawing this time :).

    Chibi Jett in a modern korean Hanbok!

    I am a huge fan of traditional clothing and I hope to draw more Agents in their respective traditional clothing soon. If you have any Ideas or requests for the next one please tell me in the comments!

    You can find my rather active Valorant, art, streaming and Japan related Twitter here: @paeonaLau

    EDIT: Skins won't happen ingame, don't worry. This is just a fun idea I had.

    35 yo boomer reached immortal for the first time

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 03:03 AM PDT

    Boomer here.... not!

    I just post here because none of my friends understand this moment, I'll share it with you!

    Started playing beta because of the lockdown because I was bored and haven't played FPS since I was 17 and was playing top level CS 1.6 at that time. Last mostly game played during the past years was FIFA. I usually have 3 or 5 games each week but played a little bit more lately to get immortal.

    What I felt necessary to impoverished and to improve myself:

    -changed my 4K 60 fps monitor to a 1440p at 144hz -bought a gaming mouse and a gaming mousepad -trained my aim (practice range and aimlab (from 50k to 90k in gridshot) -CROSSHAIR PLACEMENT -worked on calming down in the game and asked myself how I can play better instead of arguing with toxic teammates. I know it's hard considering some people but it really works. -dodged games if I felt any smell of toxicity. I shouldn't say that but yeah it helped me getting better

    Now, time to secure the whole ranking triangle and make it all red !

    Agent Concept : Guru, the Revenant soldier

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 09:43 AM PDT

    Agent Concept : Guru, the Revenant soldier

    Hello guys!

    This time I tried to create an agent with a bit more unique abilities. Meet Rajeev a.k.a Guru, a soldier from India

    BACKSTORY:

    Guru used to be one of the highest grade soldiers of Kingdom corp. Many of us know that Omen used to be a human before a failed experiment occurred, which resulted in him becoming what he is now, a shadow. However, after this failed attempt, Kingdom did another similar experiment on Guru, but without his consent (it was forced). This time, it was successful, and Guru became the perfect blend, being able to alter between his human form and shadow form freely (Omen could've been able to do this too, incase the experiment passed). This is one of the reasons why Omen feels a certain disturbance when near Guru.

    Some voicelines indicating this relationship:-

    Omen to ally Guru - Guru, why does your shadow.....create such an imbalance?

    Guru to ally Omen - I can sense all of your souls, but Omen, you are empty

    Looks-

    Hope you like it! Also, can you suggest me some more voicelines which would fit well with this agent?

    Agent Role Tutorial

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 10:22 AM PDT

    I think there should be a tutorial about agent roles, because there are so many misconceptions.

    Especially all the duelists that don't push site, never give info to their smokers and then proceed to tell you "I have more kills, you are trash" is too high for a tactical shooter.

    My suggestion? The game should explain to the people what the roles in the game do (very generally). Although it might be necessary to implement bots into the game for this.

    Yoru buff ideas

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 11:03 AM PDT

    Basically as the title implies, yoru obviously needs some changes to his kit. Everybody knows how bottom tier he is. Basically, here's some ideas, some more drastic than others.

    1. Make his flash just a flash on a timer, like a CS flash, that way people can learn lineups and pop flashes to counter specific situations. Currently it is way too easy to react to his flash, and the bounce mechanic is kinda gimmicky unless it's bounced out of smokes.

    2. Let him curve his footsteps like phoenix's wall. This way he can use them offensively, should an opportunity present itself. Just a quality of life change that gives the player more choices.

    3. His teleport should be instant. He is a duelist/entry frag. He shouldn't have to call out an "ITS GOOD" like an NFL referee. Reyna has 2 instant invincibility charges (or an unlimited amount in her ult) and Jett has a super fast dash. Leave it's noise as loud as it is and it'll become a solid entry tool as he can initiate, and recall back. And he can obviously still die while doing it, so it wouldn't compete with Phoenix ult.

    4. Let him teleport to his anchor during his ult. Obviously it's an info ult, but it is easily the worst ult in the game. But if you lower it's noise it could become a SERIOUS problem. So just give him the option to "nope" out of a sticky situation instead of feeding with his life.

    5. Make his anchor last much longer. The longer it is on the field, the more chance it ventures farther from where the action is. Or, it reduces the chance where it was placed just a tiny bit too early and becomes completely useless.

    6. (On the contrary to #5) Allow him to recall it. That way, if you place it somewhere C long on haven, you don't lose your entire playmaking kit when your team calls out "they're A long" way too late in the round. This way, you can call it back and use it for a retake.

    Talk to your Astra player please

    Posted: 13 Mar 2021 07:48 PM PST

    Astra player here, Astra is a player who's performance is limited by her team. A Team with no communications will have an Astra who cannot perform highly. "Why didn't you grav them??" Cause you only use ur mic to cry about how you died, instead of telling me when to use my util.

    "Okay but you should be able to see when I'm in a fight"

    Astral form blocks so much sound I can't hear a thing, AND no players are shown in astral form. So when I say guard me, just take 5 seconds to watch my back. "Dude our Astra isn't paying attention to flanks" We.Physically.Cannot.In.Our.Astral.Form.

    Camera of ascent I just discovered for A main, Haven and Window

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 07:59 AM PDT

    I recently ranked up from silver 1 to silver 2. Here are some tips and tricks that I learned along the way

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 12:04 AM PST

    Step 1. Be positive. If you are positively charged then electrons from negatively charged objects will flow to you generating electricity. Since you now have electricity coursing through you that makes you electronic, so you play for Na'Vi and you have nutty aim.

    Step 2. Drink redbull. Redbull gives you wings, allowing you to fly over the map and give info to your team. Its a bird! Its a plane! No. It's you, if you follow this guide.

    Step 3. Have good economy management. Spending and saving your money well will give you enough to go to riot HQ, bribe the CEO into making you silver 2. God knows its impossible to get there normally... unless you follow this guide of course.

    Step 4. Get Kovaaks Kovačs. By which I mean get Nikola "NiKo" Kovač and Nemenja "huNter" Kovač and make them play on your account. Their skill and aim will get you to Silver 2. This task is so difficult that you need 2 pros to get you there. Unless... you follow this guide.

    And there you go! How to get to silver 2 in four easy steps. Thanks for reading!

    Guys, girls game too - treat them with some respect

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 03:01 PM PDT

    Girls play games. This shouldn't be news to us guys. Treating them differently because of their gender is never right – whether you think you're being friendly or not.

    I caught up with an old friend today who happens to be female. We met playing League years ago having added each other after a game to continue a flaming fest. We queued up for a Valorant game about an hour ago and immediately two guys jumped on my friend when they heard her voice.

    These two guys began asking my friend for her name, Insta, Facebook and number and they wouldn't let up. They focused on every little move she made and patronised her at every available opportunity. She played twice as well as me but got twice the criticism.

    This happens to her eight out of ten games she plays. The comments she gets range from "what's your Insta" to "get back in the fucking kitchen, bitch" and they're all absolutely disgusting.

    My friend got on Valo this evening to play the game we all love and chill with mates. She left in near tears after one game because a couple of guys from London who thought they were funny couldn't treat her with basic respect, common courtesy, or decency.

    I'm no social justice warrior, but we need to do better than this. Women the world over are the victims of everything from harassment to rape and murder because some guys objectify them and somehow look past the fact they're normal everyday humans with dreams, hopes and fears – just like them.

    It's not every guy in the world, but it's too many and any behaviour that keeps that divide alive, no matter how minor, is part of the problem.

    For my friend and for girls more generally, think fucking twice before you decide to pick on a teammate because she's a woman. It's never funny when it's the 50th time it's happened to you that week and it all goes towards perpetuating the normalisation of women being mistreated.

    A method to earn skins for free.

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 11:33 AM PDT

    I'm thinking about a method to earn skins for free. Like in LoL you can earn keys and crates trough playing the game and then you can open them for a spray or a skin if you are lucky. That would be so great.

    Remake System

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 05:44 AM PDT

    I don't know why the remake system in VALORANT needs 4 people out of 4 people to pass. That just seems so stupid. If a teammate did not want to remake but my friends of three did we wouldn't be able to. The remake system in VALORANT should just be like the one in LOL, its just dumb how a remake, where a teammate is afk needs 4 votes to pass.

    Half Unrated Gamemode and why.

    Posted: 13 Mar 2021 10:10 PM PST

    I know this kind of post has been made multiple times but I believe asking for it over and over is needed to bring the request to the devs' attention.

    Valorant really needs a shorter unrated gamemode. No Orbs, No random loadouts, No Balance and price differences, No gimmicks.

    Just unrated but cut in half. You don't switch sides you just play your side whether it is defense or attack. This will help so much with the game being enjoyable.

    As for why? I think it helps with alot of problems. You are not stuck for long with players you don't like. You can play the game if you don't have 40+ minutes to spare. You are not stuck for a long time if you are not enjoying yourself and regret starting a game. You can warmup for competitive by getting into the actual gamemode mindset while not spending 40+ minutes to do so. A shorter gamemode is less strenuous ( I can't speak for everyone but valorant is an exhausting game to play since you gotta be in tip-top shape the whole time to perform well.)

    Spike rush is too different and doesn't scratch the unrated itch. Orbs change the game alot, and random guns are just silly (for some reason I get shotguns half the time eventhough they are about %17 of the pool).

    Deathmatch only serves as a warmup for aim but it ignores every other aspect of the game.

    The one problem I see with a separate shorter unrated gamemode is the possibility that people won't play normal unrated since they can just play 2 shorter versions of unrated with lower commitment, but whether that is a good or bad thing is debatable.

    Posted: 13 Mar 2021 10:55 PM PST

    To be fair, I played Crossfire, CoD, PUBG and CSGO before but they didnt click.

    Im loving the nifty little tricks you can do in this game. It's only limited by my imagination.

    Experimenting with silhouettes

    Experimenting with silhouettes

    I've been experimenting with silhouettes

    Cypher main here. I don't think this turned out too awfully seeing as I used a mouse and not a drawing pad or something, but definitely stuff I could improve. Also, not the most complicated stuff to do sooooooo...

    I used a 1 px wide brush to trace the source image and that was not fun, but I think it turned out ok. The letters look really bad, something to improve in the future ig.

    I don't love some of the colours I chose but they were the best ones I could find.

    I made a version of the last one big enough for a wallpaper.

    All in all I think most of it turned out pretty well. idk

    Hi y'all, I'm Iron III, Valorant is my first FPS ever, and I've been playing casually since release

    Posted: 14 Mar 2021 12:50 PM PDT

    I have a few questions:

    What is frag?

    What is aimlab?

    Why do crosshairs matter?

    Why do people call my crosshair bad? I've heard people saying it's too faint or movement crosshair is on. Why is movement aiming crosshair bad?

    How do I shoot better? I usually end up getting outgunned in most situations. I use mostly the Phantom or Ares

    Playstyle: I'm overreliant on abilities. When it comes to abilities, I tend to be great at using them to my advantage, when it comes to positioning and shooting, not so much. How do I change that?

    2 hours of playing my heart out for a sweet +0RR. Really wish there was some sort of RR loss reduction when you massively outperform your teammates, breaks my heart to try so hard and still lose just from bad luck.
