    VALORANT Best agents currently?

    VALORANT Best agents currently?


    Best agents currently?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 10:01 AM PDT

    IMO it's Skye, Sova, Viper as the clear cut top 3. If you have these three agents it makes the game a lot easier. Combine with 1 duelist and a sentinel and your team has so much useful utility and info. This trio works on every map other than Split imo. Thoughts? Am I missing another OP agent?

    VALORANT Lore Part 3 - Viper

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 07:04 AM PDT

    Viper is a scientist and Radianite technology user coming from Alaska, USA. She is Agent 02 of the VALORANT Protocol, the second agent to join the organisation, and alongside fellow agent Brimstone, is a leading member and founder of it.

    Viper uses an array of self developed poisonous chemical devices to cripple the enemy's vision and control the battlefield, wearing them down both physically and mentally. She enjoys playing mind games on her weakened opponents, observing their downfall with great interest.

    Once a brilliant scientist and researcher, she no longer thinks clearly, having become hateful and biased in her research. She possesses a very sadistic personality, thriving on the enemy's suffering and preferring to slowly and painfully execute her prey. She is also extremely sociopathic, caring little for the safety of herself or those around her and showing no remorse for the pain she inflicts.

    Origin

    During her youth, Viper earned a doctorate in chemistry and she initially joined Kingdom, with the goal of wanting to help the world. She used her knowledge to heal others and was a part of Kingdom's Radianite project. She helped convince the people of Bind to build the Radianite refinery complex, and eventually, her research led her to discover many secrets at the cost of unconventional and unethical experiments.

    At some point, something happened that would change her forever. Viper later noted that the event took "everything" from her, and is likely the cause of her sadistic nature today. As a result of everything that took place, Viper turned to a path of vengeance. She used the Radianite technology she had closely been studying with Kingdom to create her own poisonous chemical devices, including gas emitters, chemical sprayers and chemical launchers. Later, she and her former Kingdom colleague Brimstone founded the VALORANT Protocol, a covert, self-serving operation to protect her home from the global Radianite events ravaging the planet.

    (Leave your theories about the "event" that changed Viper's life forever in the comments!)

    Relationships

    Astra

    Astra feels a level of sympathy for Viper, believing her antagonistic personality is not her fault and constantly tells Viper that she is better than all this. At the moment, Viper has not commented on her relationship with Astra.

    Breach

    Much to the disagreement of Brimstone and some fellow agents, Viper reached out to Breach and personally hired him into VALORANT. They have a mutual respect and friendship with each other, and Viper comments that she does not regret hiring him at all.

    Brimstone

    Brim and Viper are the two leading members of VALORANT and have known each other for some time before VALORANT, as they both work for Kingdom. They display signs of a friendship, however at times Viper can act distant towards the soldier. She takes a strong disliking to his moral approach to leadership. Both know a lot of information they have not yet revealed to the others, and they hide the fact that Kingdom is secretly backing the protocol.

    Cypher

    Viper is known to approach Cypher about the information he collects about the Earth 2 Agents. However, their relationship is strictly professional.

    Killjoy

    Viper and Killjoy are the two scientists of the group and work together on developing Radianite technology and running tests on the field. Although Killjoy is aware of the corrosion Viper's mind has suffered, she is still looked down upon by the scientist.

    Omen

    When Omen was a human, both him and Viper worked together as lab partners on Kingdom's Radianite project. The two developed a close friendship, however when Omen sacrificed himself after a lab accident to save the other workers, they grew distant towards each other. Omen recalls her name and that they were once friends, however she keeps a lot of information about his past from him.

    Reyna

    Before VALORANT, Viper experimented on Reyna's little sister. Whether it was with good or bad intentions is unknown, however the experiments failed resulting in the death of or harm to her. This has caused animosity between the two, however, possibly due to Reyna not knowing Viper's true identity, this is not reflected in game.

    Sage

    In the past, both Viper and Sage crossed paths and worked together on something, however Sage was unable to do what she was expected. This has caused Viper to be extremely bitter and resentful toward Sage about it in the present, and although Sage offers to help Viper, she refuses, believing Sage is not capable of doing so.

    Trivia

    • Viper's real name is Sabine
    • Viper's birthday is on March 20
    • Viper's suit has the Kingdom logo on it, suggesting she still works for them
    • Viper's air filters protect her from her own poisons, however mirror Viper's poisons are unaffected
    • Viper's One Dark Night player card shows lightning hitting a lighthouse near Seattle, Washington

    A comprehensive guide to how to play each Agent:

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 07:44 PM PDT

    I see a lot of posts saying that "this agent should do this" or "that agent should do that" well sometimes they are right but here is an in depth way to play each agent:

    Astra: Place all 5 of your stars at the start of the round and use one to smoke then die

    Breach: Use your full kit at the start of round to secure entrances, make sure not to secure sight or the game will be too easy

    Brimstone: Place all three smokes in a line so enemies will not have a line of sight. Once spike is planted IMMEDIATELY use ur molly straight down

    Cypher: make sure you are on cam more than you actually play

    Jett: insta lock, win

    Kay/O: make sure to talk about the in depth lore how Kay/O is Killjoy's sex robot to your teammates

    Killjoy: make sure to talk about the in depth lore how Kay/O is Killjoy's sex robot to your teammates AND place turret in cross fire angles

    Omen: only talk in a deep, raspy voice to fully be immersed, bonus points if you say something edgy like "night is my home that's why I hate the sunrise" or something

    Phoenix: Ult for info, never for frags.

    Raze: blast pack behind enemy team, die, repeat x13 rounds

    Reyna: bind all your buttons (from pinging to abilities) to your fire button (for me it's "," on the keyboard) so you can dismiss and heal at the same time

    Sage: this is a common mistake, but everyone thinks to use their wall to wall, but you actually should use your wall to peek.

    Skye: hawk out, flash everyone, get all the kills for yourself.

    Sova: don't pick sova, d tier agent at BEST

    Viper: ult in your spawn to catch flanks off guard

    Yoru: any encounter press these buttons in order (fast) tp, footstep, flash, flash, ult, tp use, footstep, ult cancel, "," (fire)

    Thanks I hope to see you fellow silvers actually playing well for once now!

    What's your favourite monthly mode

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 08:45 AM PDT

    Riot does this thing where they change the.mode every patch. But if they had to keep only one mode, what would it be? In other words what's your favourite mode?

    When will we know the contents of the next battlepass?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 10:28 AM PDT

    I never really cared about the battlepasses but I like the current one, but would like to wait and see what's in the next one first, and buy the next one if I like it more. Do we usually get to know the next battlepass before the current one ends? Or is it after?

    How to increase mental capacity?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 09:57 AM PDT

    I feel like im getting pretty good at Valorant yet, I can only play for so long until I get exhausted. I can't really play that many games, maybe 3-4 before my head gets tired. When you get to a certain skill level I feel like you always have to think, OK sage is usually on a long and she isn't with her team pushing our spike at c which means she is probably flank. While im at it i can smoke garage while holding long... I don't get how streamers and pro's can play like this for long. Maybe im just overthinking but maybe anyone got any tips on how I can play well and play a lot at the same time?

    TLDR; Cannot play many games due to mental fatigue, any help?

    What level of smurfing is fair?

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 01:36 PM PDT

    I came across this very question today when two smurfs(opposing teams) started an argument about whether the one or the other has more right to smurf.

    I'm not actually interested in an answer. I just thought to share my disappointing experience.

    I'm sure there still isn't anything that would needed to be done.

    Strangest Match Ever

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 12:39 AM PDT

    As the title suggests, I just finished the weirdest match I have ever encountered in Valorant. As soon as the match began, my four teammates all ran forward into the wall and didn't move. I thought; "oh great, they're probably a group of friends trolling me". Then I went to the enemy team side hoping to kill at least one person, and to my surprise, all five of them were doing the same thing as my team. Staring at a wall, not moving. I proceeded to kill all 5 of them for the next few rounds, then they insta-surrendered at the start of round 5.

    I checked the end-of-match scoreboard and sure enough I didn't accidentally joined training mode or whatever, it was a regular unrated match. Anyone have an idea of what happened?

    Sova drone controls with inverted mouse settings

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 03:06 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I have been playing Valorant since the first day it came out but unfortunately I am unable to enjoy playing Sova because of a issue I have with one of his abilities. I play with inverted Y-axis mouse settings (pls don't ask me why, but I have been playing FPS games like this for over 10 years) and so the drone controls also get inverted. This is not intuitive for inverted mouse players as it is a mouse cursor that you move around (similar to how you would in Windows).

    I have seen a few other posts on reddit which have been archived but until now nobody seems to know how to resolve this. From Riot there hasn't been any reply either, perhaps because of the relatively low number of players with inverted mouse settings.

    I am hoping that Riot will still sort this out by either disabling the invert mouse feature for the Sova drone or at least add an option in the settings to change this specifically for the drone controls.

    Thank you.

    Ring finger on left ctrl

    Are there any people who holds their shift and left ctrl key with their ring finger while gaming? I just wanna know if it's just me.Holding them with pinky finger is too uncomfortable and hard while ring finger is way more comfortable. should I try to adapt to my pinky finger even if it takes a long time or should i just go with whatever makes me comfortable.

    Was wondering if any website/app exists that is a bit like the HLTV equivalent of valorant. It doesn't have to have news and rankings and all that stuff, I mainly want it to show results and stats of pro games so I can keep up with them easier. Thank you

    Posted: 16 Aug 2021 10:24 AM PDT

    For some ungodly reason my damage reports rarely work. Some games its intermittent, some games just not even there.

    Then text chat occasionally just takes a good minute or two to post my chat. Making it pretty much useless.
