AGENT UPDATES

Chamber

Continuing with our recent focus of sharpening the strengths and weaknesses of the Sentinel role, this update aims to push Chamber’s ability to hold territory with his unique arsenal of weapons. The changes should provide you more access to the Headhunter (Q) as a save or sidearm without draining your econ, and increase the clear strength of Chamber’s ultimate compared to the Operator.

>Headhunter (Q): Price decreased 150 >>> 100

>Tour De Force (X): Firing rate increased 0.7 >>> 0.9

>>1174740
Personally I like this change. Headhunter really isn't used enough currently and making the ult feel better is fine. It takes ages for it to come online anyway.
>>1172782
>Is Outlaw worth it
sometimes

never had a chance to play with outlaw. outlaw is not working with valorant economy. you can’t buy it on force rounds, so. it's a strong rifle but only for jett mains, who plays with operator often.

>>1174778
It's good if enemy team buys light shield + vandal and you're on econ.

i take it back outlaw is good. the second shot is effective. damn vct has a lot of bulldog shitters

valorant is for femboys and furries who suck at cs2, otherwise you must have some mental problems to touch that game to be completely fair with you

that game has three playable maps. need Tf2 in Cs format. til then we're stuck with this shitter

Why should I play this over CS? As someone who has barely played either.

>>1186662
The anti-cheat is not completely useless.

>>1186662
Basic utility usage is easier (no need to memorize lineups just for basic flashes and smokes)
Advanced utility has more depth
All the guns are viable
Armor system is more interesting but at the same time easier to understand
You can wallbang people more
The abilities create a lot of fun asymmetry, each pick is significant since it removes something from the enemy team other than just a gun

>>1189188
>each pick is significant since it removes something from the enemy team other than just a gun
This is the one thing valo has that cs2 doesn't, which I like the most.
Their flash/recon is gone? Now you can play ratty off angles they would normally clear easily.
Their smoke is gone? Now you can post plant off site.
Sentinel dead? Now someone has to watch flank.

There's a lot of subtle info you can get from this. If you're retaking vs. a 3-player team that lost their tripwires, and you killed 2 on-site, you can bet your life that the last player was watching a flank route.

Also the abilities are whack as fuck. Throwing a team safe flash from elevators to vertigo B main is fun and all, but nothing compares to driving a purple shark at someone.

With fictional guns in an arcade aesthetic it doesn't really matter as much and you can do things like have the fire rate differ between ADS and hipfire, or grenades that explode twice to let you clear corners effectively without being OP

If I want gun autism I'd rather just play R6 raven shield, it's at least got my wife as a playable gun. Siege really bothers me with how gimmicky it is and how unreasonable some of the demands are (why would you use SMGs rather than carbines?)

>>1212570
Siege bothers me because it was its own interesting game for like two seasons and then it just decided to copy CS.
I mean so did Valorant but at least they were honest about what it was from the start.

bro tarik just repeats the same words over and over

i want to play this and get really good but every time i do team mates suck my soul out and make me want to quit, i'd be much happier if this game had no comms, it's not even that they rage which they do alot, it's that they are brown and giga normies, don't want to be interacting with that

Oh yeah, I know. At least they gave him the fakeout on the teleport, pretty much all trickster types end up just being a kind of area-denial character.

It's still really funny when it works, though.

It was really stupid and shouldn't have worked if not for the planter not seeing my teleport but I'm still proud of it.

Is there SBMM in Unrated?
Because it sure feels like I've hit that point where I'm only getting matches where I get deleted instantly or everyone seems retarded by comparison.

The pump on the Bucky takes way too long for a gun that can't reliably one-shot at point-blank.

god i hate the female casters voice so much

there's always some fucker hiding in a peekaboo corner so that you can never flank. Fucking annoying.

How the fuck does Yoru's ult appear to enemies. It seems people know exactly where I am when I come out of ult so I assume there's a loud fucking sound cue, but is there anything else I should be trying to do to use this more effectively?

>>1222038
If you're within a radius of another player there's a sound and also some blue glowy aura around the edges of the screen. When your ult finishes there's also a louder distinct sound cue.
So you're invisible, but enemies who understand the game know when you're in proximity of them and might react based off that information.

Ending your ult when you're right next to an enemy is high risk, because if they're paying attention they will often be able to shoot you before your animations finish and you can fire again. Remember you can still use your flash, decoy and teleport abilities while in your ult, to make it extra confusing. If your ult is about to finish right next to an enemy, throwing a flash can give you an extra second or two to get ready to fight.

I find Yoru ult is generally better for either scouting information on enemy locations and/or doing a deep flank where you exit at a place behind enemy lines with no enemies nearby, rather than for "teleports behind you" moments. Remember that the fact yoru ult happens at all is enough reason for some enemies to check their spawn and/or other likely flank locations whether they know you're there or not

>>1222187
>>1222038
The blue warbles on the edge are based on if you're in yoru's LOS, they get stronger when you face towards yoru
The ult is great for entry, spam ping locations for teammates (verbal callouts are great if you have the coordination), flash as you exit your ult and try to catch someone who is about to take a fight with one of your teammates
>>1219194
there is, but it's not very strict (faster matches prioritized over balanced ones)
>>1219213
you have to be shittier at the game and aim for center mass instead of the head and you'll start onepumping a lot more consistently

>>1219194
There is, but a big difference is that there's no party restrictions. You can queue with any number of players and with any rank/skill differences, so you often get duos or trios where one is really bad and the other is really really good.
In ranked you have to be close enough to each other's ranks to party up together so most players in the games are going to be relatively close to each other

Clove is AFAB

So Clove just gets two lives as a non-ult? That doesn't seem remotely balanced.

i'm so much disgusted by the path they are choosing for the games that i uninstalled it immediatly after the he/she bullshit in the character description, it sad because i like the game design but some time you have to make tough décision

It's they.

>>1227157
Clove's ult is a temporary revive, you have approx 10 seconds to get a kill or assist to stop the countdown and stay alive
When you self-res, you're invulnerable for 2 seconds and can't shoot during that time, so enemies can easily just stand around you and shoot as soon as the invulnerability ends

Clove pussy

Clove seems fun, played her a bit yesterday.
>>1227157
It's kinda like a reverse phoenix ult, you die, revive, then need to get a kill / damaging assist pretty quickly or you go back to being dead.
>>1226614
only the smokes are usable after dying, and they're pretty nerfed as part of it. Ult needs to be used immediately on death (and you need to have it fully charged before you die)

Did you guys buy the SEN classic?

Clove is the closest we have to having a CS frag grenade.
They've been really reluctant to add that in again after Sova (and his is really awkward compared to how fast and snappy pulling out a Clove nade is).

I guess this is just a general CS style gameplay tip but how the fuck do I do good crosshair placement? Like I'm always pointed at their chest. Do I just have terrible visio-spatial awareness because of autism? Yes.

you should try using the gaurdian more, but try playing death match more with it. You can also go to the practice range and and put your crosshair on a bot and get used to just walking around and keeping it like that or that height. Crosshair placement and aim is a lot of aiming, maybe look up videos on passive aim training

>>1229672
Either that or they do hear you but they have to make a call between waiting for you or facing the enemy right in front of them.
If they wait for you, their team blames them for not going in. If they don't wait, they get wiped anyways.

The fact it's rebranded from GSGO to CS2 means they -are- making it out to be more than just an incremental engine update, even though that's all it really is

Yeah because CS:GO should have been called CS2 from the beginning. It's not comparable to Overwatch because the difference is that Overwatch devs were telling their playerbase how things were gonna be while CS2 just kinda came out and Valve said nothing about it. The playerbase just assumed things which is what usually happens.

>>1232539
>while CS2 just kinda came out
you lying nigger, they marketed it so hard with subtick and improved gameplay, molly, nade physics etc. it comes out broken, unoptimized (even now), and downright awful movement (if you're not on LAN). AND all the community servers nuked for a whole year since they couldnt port it or didnt make it easy to port. It is exactly the same as overwatch. you should be thankful donk came and saved your shitty "upgrade" to CS2 with his performance or the game was going completely dead.

>>1232547
I honestly don't care, you're gonna end up playing it in like 3 years anyways. Everyone always does. Even I do. And if you don't you end up on 8ch where no good games have come out since (whenever the 38 year old user became 14). Every gamer boycott is one 3 minute cinematic away from ending.

I'm a cypher main, don't find him particularly difficult. There's probably a learning curve in figuring out how to use util optimally but there's nothing particularly mechanically hard, and his lineups are generally pretty simple

He felt pretty free when I tried him on Sunset, but I felt useless on attack besides the cheeky window cams to peek right away. Cypher is just so weird. I think she cant be played pretty aggressive and i like her ultimate and wall. Her traps are just horribly unreliable and putting them on higher walls and having them slant to scan the floor is kind of annoying. Her net grenade I also think isnt too great, it can surely plant someone in place, but the debuff is just crouching so really they cant move but they have increased accuracy. The kit + amount of work to make up for the lack luster parts isnt worth it, but ulting someone feels so good.

>>1237411
Cypher on attack is all about flank watch and lurking. You can entry as a sort of Jett but it's not the best.

>>1233251
Cypher is easy. You don't need fancy one-ways, epic trips, or lineups. The only essential homework you have to do is learning the god cams on every map.
Like Deadlock you have to abuse the fact that he can leave his util unattended. That means lurking a lot.

On defense, you just lurk half the time (say goodbye to your precious setup), and have either double kill trips on site, or have a wide net of info gathering. Adjust to the enemy team.

On offense, try to die last. It really fucks with your team if the enemy has constant lurk pressure and your wires are down. Sometimes you'll have to switch it up and actively look for picks, but don't take unnecessary risks. Either way, you're doing a lot of dry peeking.

You really have to do it. Every good sentinel/smoke does it because the attackers get too much map control otherwise.

>>1239130
taking map control is not the same as lurking

Which classic is better, PRX or T1?

>>1239537
no, you dont like tactical shooters. though this game has the same levels of camping (deep corners you need to check) the shooting part is more lenient.

>>1239731
thanks for the honest reply

>>1239931
np anon, i only got into these types of games through friends. the most fun on CS i can have by myself is probably surfing (community can be funny sometimes) but its all about being uber patient and having that crazy accuracy since 1 shot to the head kills.

>>1239537
you won't like it but at least some playable agents let you snipe common camping areas with molly/flash

Just got destroyed by a Breach Fade Sova nerd trio party on ascent.
I think I saw like 10 different trap plays on their defense.
I wish I could get my friends to play valo so we can do goofy shit like this. Every single time we died it was 90% because we were stunned, blinded, leashed, getting double peeked by a drone and dog, etc...

I could have done better myself but I was forced to entry while dropping smokes with a no-comm team.

>>1217045
Real question here. Why the fuck do they have a way to let you know yoru is about to appear near with his ult but omen can just teleport anywhere with almost 0 warning? The balancing on this fucking game is beyond retarded for multiple characters.

>>1239731
Tactical shooters can mean many different things, CS is one, but its map design is what really encourages the camping and crosshair placement stuff.

That being said, good CS fundamentals will take you far in this game, I would know, I keep dying to people with better crosshair placement than me. However one major difference I noticed is the maps; Valorant maps are big and have a lot of sightlines. Most CS maps every sightline where an enemy might appear can be covered by 5 players.

What monitor size do you think is better for valorant/CS2, 24in or 27in?

Walking is silent, yes? So please explain to me how everyone is able to pop out of their ambush spot at exactly the right time when I full-walk flank?

My friend tells me smaller monitors are better so you can quickly switch between minimap and crosshair.
I have a 27 in. and anecdotally I can tell you that I keep finding myself mentally unprepared for a fight because I was just looking at the minimap a second ago and I'm still adjusting to crosshair focus mode.

I was thinking that 27in was better for ranked players because a lot of pros play with their face 1 inch from the screen so seeing the whole panel at once shouldn't be too important.
With a bigger monitor I can stay further from the screen and achieve the same benefits.

>>1243481
>either rely on mechanics as a duelist or guide your team towards not being retarded as a controller
What should I do to carry if I play initiators?

What the fuck is a timing? Is it why I keep dying?

>>1244211
You're at the mercy of your smokes being placed before you initiate and your duelists following up. Definitely not terrible even when other people aren't doing their job, but the controller/duelist roles have more impact (at least in my opinion)

>>1244255
You're gonna get timing'd no matter how perfectly you play. You basically have to gamble eventually in every single round.

I'm not sure how much impact each role has on the game since all characters are capable of one-shot headshotting with most weapons, but I'm new. It still seems like CS fundamentals will take you a long way.

>>1244595
true, if you were gold nova or above at the end of CS GO you should be at least gold, very quickly plat once you learn the maps and probably diamond if you play remotely often.

>>1244766

It depents on your understanding and usage of the Agents abilities. If you dont know which abilities every agent has you can probably make it to gold but not further. Except you have godly aim

So what's the verdict on clover?

>>1244595
This is still a head clicker game despite all the bells and whistles. Most people in the 0.01% of ranks agree that people should just lock in whatever they're most comfortable with instead of forcing some "ideal" comp.
KJ-Omen-KAY/O-Sova-Jett is god tier on Ascent pro play, but your average filled-in Sova doesn't know how and when to throw a halfway decent wallhack dart.

>>1245484
At kissing distance you should also run and gun with the AK.

>>1246473
I mean I can see how some comps could be dastardly, and maybe even at a competitive level using those comps agianst a team that you know just has better aim (or aimbots) than you could give you the upper hand, but this seems like one of those things like "it's far easier to teach a good aimer strategy than it is to teach good aim to a strategist."

good flex pick, if you play duelist (most players) and dont play smokes (most players) shes a no brainer. Outside of that, i think shes actually quite strong, the only issue a pub player would have is:

2. Trolling their team with bad smokes when dead

i only lock in duelists because smoking is haram

>it's unrated why are you surrendering
Because I want to have fun and we are currently in a game where exactly one of us has any kills at all and if we're spending most of our time dead that means that I am being forced into watching a game more than I'm playing it.

If they keep at the pattern they've held for the past three map rotation changes, we should be seeing a change in the maps with patch 8.08 (e8a3), in two weeks.
Sadly I doubt they'll remove icebox after being in for just a single map rotation cycle, but there's hope for breeze being removed.

Is Lotus the Vertigo of valorant?
Whichever team loses A main is pretty much done. Same with Vertigo on A ramp, and in both maps the most crucial fight occurs and finishes within the first ten seconds.

Why... why does no one surrender in Unrated? You have no rank here. What does it matter?

why do i lose every head on firefight
ive given up on trying to win those i just walk everywhere now and hope i catch someone in the back

>>1253421
Why would you surrender in unranked?
Just train your aim or try weird shit.

>>1253446
>why do i lose every head on firefight
Instalock reyna until you don't lose anymore.

playing valorant for the first time
this game is absolutely superior to csgo
so much attention to detail and much more fun

>>1253687
what's fucky though is that everyone is 13 years old

>>1253421
unrated is for completing dailies/weeklies, winning doesn't matter

aspas might just be the goat. imagine dropping 47 kills against a team with Tenz and zekken in it

>>1253687
it is easier for CS frogs to enter valorant BUT if you were just a braindead aim dog in CS, you will struggle hard in this game at high elo. Your util and timings take over after diamond/asc. This is where the hate from high elo CS frogs come from, they just cant accept that brain is required. They want to aim-diff till radiant which does not happen in valorant.

anyone know why I gotta restart pc to play valorant every time I open my pc?
like I wake up in the morning boot up the pc and it wants me to restart my pc again before I can actually play. so it's 2 reboots to play the game. it's weird.

I kinda hate that I tested my reaction speed and I'm literally like 10ms slower than average but I've got decent game sense so I'm in a hell of "every time I see an enemy and they're aware of me I insta-die because they're just better" ELO but I can't go back down to retard ELO because I can still strategize.

>>1253872
if you think LE is high elo then yeah, MM players just wanna gun. Level 10+ faceit dislikes val causes it's comparatively less brain.

>>1255356
flash initiator, usually second man in trading duelist and can entry if needed.
>>1255918
as a fellow low reaction time player (270 average) just making sure you have actually good cross hair placement helps mitigate it. Not just head level and at normal angles, try to really anticipate how they're most likely to swing (wide, quick peek, tight) and be on it. I'm asc 3 so not the best but hope it's useful.

>>1256121
level 10 faceit struggle in high asc/low immo and cry about it a lot. They dont want to strategize, just taking aim duels even at that elo.

>>1256125
anecdotally not the case but you probably know more people

>>1261356
I don't play competitive for a reason.

>>1261356
A surrender vote is not supposed to be a blow to your ego. Sometimes the enemy team is just better than you.

>>1226623
>>1261330
One thing I really hated going through unrated and Iron-Silver is how my team used to surrender on almost every match, it was infuriating, I felt like the zoomers on my team could only have fun when they are stomping the other team, the idiots instalocking Jett/Reina expecting to easily pull out 30 kills suddenly getting angry and toxic when the enemy opposes some minimum threat.

I remember this match on heaven when I was a silver, we were loosing on attack and this one player kept wallbanging me with guardian when we were rushing, I keep getting killed but I learned so much in that match, every time that player killed me I learned a different wallbang I could use later, in that match I understood the difference in penetration strength across the guns.
I am the kind of player who wants to learn, "you win or you learn" is a phrase quoted among fighting game players, a better enemy teaches you about his strengths but also about your own weaknesses.
Another point, comebacks, there is nothing more satisfying to me than comebacks, these 10/2 into 11/13 are the bests, and even if I can't pull those out that often I can assure you I have won at least 3/5 of matches where my team tried to surrender, and nothing makes me improve faster than facing a better enemy.
>>1261688
>Sometimes the enemy team is just better than you.
Yeah, and that is how I learn, I don't get that much better by playing against people who are worse than me, against better players I learn about stronger strategies, actually good utility usage and efficient entry plays, I learn to adapt and how to counter said strategies.
Also what if I surrender and then I have to face the same enemies next match? If I don't surrender I can at least learn a bit about their gameplan, if I surrendered then I will get beaten up twice.
Now there are fair reasons to surrender, like when your team is full of uncooperative dicks.

>tl;dr even if I lose I learn more when I play against better enemies.

>>1261688
if you really are getting blown out the game isn't going to take that long. If you aren't, then you have a pretty good chance of making a comeback, given how the economy works

I literally don't care.

So I just want to have fun. And getting stomped is not fun.

The only people who actually care about their rank are underage. That's literally who ranked systems are designed for. For everyone else, the only rank that matters is Challenger, or top rank or whatever they call it, because it's the only rank where you might be able to get picked up and make money off of your skill. Every other rank is completely worthless except to a teenage boy who has nothing else because he's a teenager and not allowed to have anything.

>>1266934
I had this problem a year ago using a HDD, the game also took up to 3 minutes to load in the match back then, if you have fast internet try reinstalling the game because the "file integrity checking" tool is really fucking slow, you could also move the game to an ssd, I had to get a SATA SSD for a few modern games that keep giving me loading problems on my HDD.
Since it's just a cosmetic problem I wouldn't give a fuck, I wish I could disable these intros, I cringe by hearing the characters always saying the same oneliner voicelines.
