| One year ago today the VALORANT open beta was released. Posted: 07 Apr 2021 05:48 AM PDT One year ago today the VALORANT open beta was released. Kinda feel nostalgic for those early lockdown days with 10 streams open waiting for a beta key. Edit: Meant closed beta [link] [comments] | ||

| The map repositionning 2 seconds after you die is one of the most frustrating things Posted: 07 Apr 2021 07:32 AM PDT Everytime I die, I try to give info as quick as possible for my team. So just after I get shot, I try to ping the enemy positions on the map. But between the moment when the camera is on your corpse right after you die and the moment when you switch to an ally's view the map changes position. So I often ping absurd things resulting in my team not understanding what i'm pinging. Could it be possible to not have this transition or simply disable the map movements? [link] [comments] | ||

| The skin store is in an AWFUL state and it needs to be talked about more Posted: 07 Apr 2021 09:15 AM PDT There are currently 170 skins that can be in your shop. This means it would take you 45 days of logging in every day to check your shop before you went through every single skin assuming theres no duplicates. There probably are so then you get to a point where youre never guarenteed to EVER get the skin you want. This type of shop was obviously poopularised by Fortnite and I'm sure Epic made a shit load of money from it. The idea is that you will be more likely to buy skins because you have 24 hours to think it over before that skin is potentially gone forever. The other reason is that people will buy a skin they think is okay until they get the skin they actually want in the shop. It's really disappointing after their well made monetisation systems in League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra, both having cosmetic shops in which you can buy skins whenever except event or seasonal skins. It also doesnt make sense for a CS:GO player who is used to being able to buy skins whenever they want from Steam's marketplace or 3rd party websites. My final point is that game playerbase's are naturally made up of a lot of children as they have the most time to play. This shop system is made to exploit the natural impatience of children who aren't willing to wait potentially forever to get skins on their guns, especially when their favourite content creators have skins on every gun. This point especially is why I think this monetisation system is disgusting and predetory. Unfortunately in today's gaming enviroment unless something effects a content creator or there is overwhelming backlash from the community things like this won't change, so this needs to be talked about more, which is why I made this post despite there being others.

| Posted: 07 Apr 2021 08:20 AM PDT First, background aka part 1The jist: when you smoke an entrance, keep the edge of your smoke flush with the entrance. Otherwise, the enemy team can use YOUR smokes as cover to push up onto the site and take control of that space. Sounds simple right? The vast majority of the time, this is what you want your smokes to do: minimize the ability for the enemy to use your own smoke as cover against you. I made this original graphic, and I'm back at it again with a part 2: why this concept makes viper bad at smoking. Here it isAs shown before, good smokes minimize the amount of area the opponent can push up into using your smoke as cover, and limit the number of angles that the opponent could come into an area from so you can easily watch them and hopefully take control of the area. This is tried and true, and is the way players smoke entrances at pro level. When you "cut a site in half" with viper wall, you don't really gain proper control over the site at all. The enemy team can push up and get onto site, taking any number of angles on site behind your wall as they want, and you will not be able to see them doing it. The wall is just begging for the enemy team to push up behind it. Instead of limiting the number of angles they could come from behind the smoke, viper wall expands them. For all of the principles of good smokes, viper wall typically does the exact opposite. You have to basically pretend viper wall is a regular smoke in order to smoke flush with entrances with it.This is the case for the vast majority of sites in the game. Either viper's wall is benefitting the enemy team somewhat, by giving them control of critical space, or viper's wall is doing a good job at smoking, by pretending to be normal smokes. In which case, just pick another controller who can do that cheaper, faster, easier, and better. Where viper wall doesn't work well (most places), viper wall is an active detriment to smoking effectively, and you have to try and use it like a regular smoke in order to get good area control out of it. Where viper wall does work well (Icebox B), it's because those are some of the few places in the game that are shaped just right for it to be able to smoke flush with entrances there. We already know that the best smokes are the ones that smoke flush with entrances. Regular smokes can do this anywhere. Viper wall just can't, by design. It being a huge straight wall is not an advantage, it's a limitation. That's why viper is bad at smoking. Making her smokes do tons of damage is just a bandaid on this fundamental issue.

| Posted: 07 Apr 2021 08:39 AM PDT People are going to call me crazy but unpopular opinion I actually like icebox. I don't know why. Feel like people made it so bad but when I played it, it wasn't that bad. [link] [comments] | ||
| why is my aim so inconsistent? Posted: 07 Apr 2021 06:21 AM PDT yesterday, I just came back to valorant, and i was flicking to heads. 30 kill games constantly. Suddenly today i just cant aim at all. I choke the easiest shots? any advice? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 07 Apr 2021 04:31 AM PDT After countless games of having afk teammates again and again I'm frustrated to the point of deleting the game. There are times I get these afk where they bind the 'W' key and leave the game and they move forward from spawn and stay there it happened to me two games in a row. I have no clue why people do this. I have 2 other friends and we usually play in a 3 man lobby , 2 out of 6 games we play in a day always has an AFK player. I'm frustrated by these AFK, smurfs or toxic ass team mates. I'm looking for people to play with if you are interested please let me know. I play on the Mumbai/ Singapore servers and my rank is Gold 1 [link] [comments] | ||
| Please stop telling the last person to pick to pick sage. Posted: 07 Apr 2021 08:55 AM PDT I play in Mumbai Server and in competitive 3 instalock duelists just spam WE NEED A SAGE WE NEED A SAGE and pressure the person to pick sage but not the character they feel comfortable with. I don't know why everyone thinks you will instantly lose if you do not have a sage in your team. Why don't you pick sage yourself? [link] [comments] | ||
| My best ranked experience today. Posted: 07 Apr 2021 07:22 AM PDT Here's my story: I was playing ranked today, lost the first one 12-14 cuz a Raze decided we "Didn't deserve to win". I was obviously angry but I decided to go again anyway. Literally in the first round we found out we have a bot Reyna in the team, the enemy team started the match by writing "Ready to lose?". So I was already sure we would lose this. We all (enemy team included) started playing either Odin or shotguns from round 6. We ended the game in overtime 14-12 after being trashtalked for having a bot Reyna and just using shotguns, with my K/D ending at 39/12 (my team was cheering me for a 40K). I was surpised that we won a 4v5 from round 1, I thought it was hopeless, but we squashed them. Sorry for any typos if there are any. [link] [comments] | ||
| What is your favorite thing about your main? Posted: 07 Apr 2021 10:32 AM PDT It could be an ability, their dialogue, their personality, or their contract weapon skin. Anything at all [link] [comments] | ||
| What would you like to see in the next update? Posted: 07 Apr 2021 11:33 AM PDT Im just curious, in my point of view i dont care about new maps/ agents, and i think replays should be the first thing to add, as long as it takes. [link] [comments] | ||
| How about a limited-time deathmatch event with only Jetts? Posted: 07 Apr 2021 07:18 AM PDT Rules: limited or no smokes, unlimited dash and blades, updraft recharged with one kill. And of course, it should be named Jettmatch. [link] [comments] | ||
| How would you feel about shorter unrated games? Posted: 07 Apr 2021 12:26 PM PDT Title. I don't know how set in stone the 12/12 round rule is, but today I realised that if games were shorter, maybe there would be less salt, afks and surrender votes. Sometimes, despite your best plans, adult life hits and you have to go, and it sucks to leave a team hanging. If unrated games were shorter (or if we had the option to queue up for short games instead of normal ones), I feel it would help out ppl who can't commit to half hour at a time. What do you think?

| Seriously, I'm done with Ranked Valorant Posted: 07 Apr 2021 09:37 AM PDT I don't know if there are something wrong with the elo system or the ranked gap update, but there IS something wrong with the game. Am I supposed to carry all of those games beyond my capabilities like a smurf? I am Team / Match MVP in most of the games as Sova / Reyna / Sage but no matter what it is, we will lose. My team have no microphones, disconnecting, aiming at the floor, doesn't trade, doesn't push with blind / drones when site is cleared. I pushed with team, I do not lurk and play for kills, I make plans, cleared site, give calls. Like what else am I supposed to do? I get ace clutch sometimes twice in a game and even made plans to confuse the enemy which won us few rounds (but of course those cheese will only get you 2-3 round wins not all of them). Before you give me the take a rest and have a good mindset comments. Let me be clear, I am not tilted and stayed positive during all of the games. It's a team game, I'm NOT supposed to carry them. There are times when I matched with Gold again and that's a little better, they know what they're doing and sometimes we don't even need to communicate as much because all of them communicated as well. So, what else am I supposed to do? I dropped 6 rank btw (Gold 2 - Bronze 3) [link] [comments] |
