I played for years and never got better, I bought a steamkey for Kovaaks and after just a couple weeks of consistent practice I quickly climbed through ranked.
Aiming is everything in games like this. The worlds worst player with zero game sense can carry his way to the top off aim alone, it compensates for any mistake you can make.

Play counter strike, the gunplay and movement is significantly better

Binge coaching videos so you can learn fundamentals and have correct decision making.
Don't care too much about aiming at first and worry more about trading your teammates or making sure that they trade you, good comms are as important as aiming.
Play 5 stacks and avoid SoloQ as much as possible.

The gunplay is better but canceled out by the map design being worse.

So I just started playing this game because I bit the Vanguard bullet for League about a week ago.

It's enjoyable but that agent with the stupid shield, Iso I think, is fucking cancer. Killing one when he abducted me was so satisfying.

I'm playing Viper because quite frankly I liked her look the most. The wall is super nice but I hear she's been nerfed to oblivion.

How do I get skins? The store only has 1 page and I don't like the look of anything. There's also the radiante that I have no idea how to use

I don't know why I'm waiting for a Guardian skin.

I'm like everyone else I don't buy unless I got enough for Vandal.

What's so special about Clove in the lore? Phoenix and Omen are also immortal.

>>1373084
No coach when recruiting looks for people who have good comms.

Cypher is such a character that Riot would design.

>How do I get skins? The store only has 1 page and I don't like the look of anything.
Welcome to the FOMO marketing tactic. They give you a whopping choice of 4 random skins per day in the shop and they offer new bundles every 2 weeks. Though the new champions bundle is sticking around for a month because it’s helping fund the prize pool for the tournament. The Night Market should be returning in a couple of weeks that will give you a random discount on six random skins so just pray to RNJesus for something you want at a good discount.

>There's also the radiante that I have no idea how to use
This is another currency you use to unlock additional level to some skins. It’s retarded. But essentially certain skins you buy will also have additional colour schemes and weapon effects (inspect animations, sfx, final kill effect) that you need to use Radianite for. So even after spending $40 on single knife, you need to spend even more currency to unlock its full potential. You can get enough of it though the BP at least, unless you’re a mega whale

I hate living in a world where playing a headphone game without headphones isn't reportable but saying the dreaded enward is.

Geniunely the economy to this game sucks but what did I expect, it's Riot, it's designed to give the losing team hope.

>>1382966
If Riot wasn't able to punish you for having awful teammates, their ban rate would go down, and if their ban rate goes down, they would no longer be able to pretend that they do anything about cheaters.

I had the same shit happen its always the bottom fragging faggots with 0 util that bitch about wanting to surrender. Like wow I'm so sorry that I want to get assraped trying to carry you useless fucks for only 6 rounds instead of 15.

Course the prick who didn't want to surrender also got killed by a dude jumping down behind him around a corner making the most noise known to mankind but the faggot had 0 sound and is too much of a peabrained dipshit to think to check his back once in a while.

Shit like that is why I don't go on /v/ 'cause their leftist discord friends run to call mod the minute they can't convince you that the newest slop like Street Fighter 6 isn't the best shit ever.

Team Deathmatch made me realize how great the stinger is. I don't use the spectre anymore unless I wanna spam through smokes. The stinger is better at close range and with the alt-fire, also better at long ranged. Medium range is where the spectre is superior but I just won't take medium ranged fight then.

>>1383597
Honestly the only benefit the Spectre has is the suppressor being useful from time to time.

Stinger is just better all around. Burst fire is good for range, close range is almost Bucky tier with how fast it fires, and it doesn't do that much less damage, not without making it up for it in RoF.

Also, unlike the Spectre, it's an actual budget weapon.

>>1380437
phoenix and omen are newfags
clove and possibly reyna are megahags

>>1383605
I wish Team Deatmatch allowed you to pick any weapon once its been unlocked. I would like to play a match just using the sheriff or the stinger.

>>1382865
shitters will buy SMGs everyround, thinking they're Sinatraa anyway

whoever was defending the judge last thread is retarded shit is trash

>>1383941
>defending the judge last thread
That was me anon... the weapon got nerfed a lot over the years and now it is just a shorty with a 5 rounds drum, ngl.
Where were you using it? it has it's niche places like Bind's hooka and Heaven's garage and A short, is it specially strong as a Controller and some Raze players are really good at jumping in with it, but now that her satchels got nerfed too I doubt you will see that in game often, so you are right, the weapon is pretty weak now specially considering its price.
You are better off using the shorty as your secondary or the Bucky on eco rounds if you can afford it. both of them can do the same plays around smokes

is it normal to check out of a match after a few rounds? it feels like you can tell if your team is meshing or not rather quickly into a game

>we go 0-5

I’ve never seen saltiness and tilting be a benefit before holy shit

>>1384299
You "can't" leave a game early, are you familiar with the afk punishments in league of legends? Valorant works the same way, the game punishes you for it specially on Comp and the penalty increases over time if you keep doing it but just as in LoL people just don't care, everyone leaves whenever they feel like and take the queue penalty.
I have seen people who have around 5 accounts and cycle between penalized accounts, I have seen people who just buy a new account to get back to smurfing in comp instantly for less than $10, Riot does nothing against smurfs since they always end up buying champions or skins in their other accounts.
I recommend you playing Shiftplay and TDM more often, that way your are not stuck with dumb teammates and AFKs for too long.

>>1384344
well I'm playing on console for context. there is soooo many people who don't seem to understand the basic concepts of the game. shooting while running, running in fucking general, not sitting on spike. refusing to stay still and watch an angle. I'm starting to consider only playing practice for a month sothese "people" will be gone

>>1384399
Console just got the full release so there’s just way more clueless noobs around than normal. I noticed it last week when the beta went fully open and nobody would give me the spike as Gecko

They seriously need to stop pushing Phoenix as a the beginner agent, they can do more damage than good with him

Gee, thanks

>>1383597
stinger absolutely melts rifles when you're close. you slightly run and gun over the corner, you can get 1 and damage the 2nd guy with a single spray. spectre doesnt come close at all

>>1384684
The ranks got rebalanced because it was too easy to get a high rank on console

>>1384750
I’m definitely not deserving of being in Silver, though. Mid Gold and I’d say fair enough. Is this a ranking system where it places you lower at first so you can climb and feel like you’re improving?

I hate getting to the ranks where you have to aim.

So much fun seeing everyone else have perfect spatial reasoning and get flicks all the time while I cannot.

I am plat but after episode reset a couple episodes back, I am unable to get out of gold. I admit I dont have the solo carry potential But, it seems every act I end up with ~50% win rate stats. Even with that, this act has been even more blatant on how the algorithm has been dogshit in ranking up for the past 2 episodes. This act is even worse and I have the numbers for it. I played about 100 hours, just look at these stats I took a cap of last week.

dont you think its even a little bit suspicious? and my KDA is 1.0 as a sentinel, cant do much in stomps and playing retake. I also think i'lll do better if I play duelist to have more impact but I want to improve and rank up AS A SENTINEL and the game just doesnt reward other roles as much.

>>1386949
if they added a rank after plat called ''lulz'', and lowered plat reqs so you can be plat again would that make you feel better?? having a consistent 50% WR means you are where you belong

>>1386949
Play nothing but deathmatch and team deathmatch for an entire month and then go back to ranked for a week to see if your aim is on point, practice a few lineups every day too.
After that don't play too many ranked games in one single day, unless you are a streamer I doubt you have too much energy after 5 games.

>>1386973
>you are where you belong
im not disagreeing m8, thats not what my post is about. im gold now, its fine with me. Its just the ranked grind is punishing grinders worse than any episode ive played

I'm not gonna blow smoke up your ass we know that Riot manipulates the winrate algorithm for League of Legends so you should assume they do it for everything else. In fact you should assume every company is doing that.

The problem is that we believe in matchmaking and "ranked" gaming which is utterly pointless.

Tried it after a long time and now I see flying shit that cums on you, it relies too much on weird abilites, the maps are utter garbage and the movement is ass. Got back to cs2

>>1391253
Girls don't play CS2.

is it normal to sometimes go too far, or not far enough when flicking? i'm not solely over flicking, or under flicking. it's a mix of both. i'm not sure if i should still be fucking with the settings

>>1391474
practice in the Range more I guess. I remember hearing something like overflicking and then micro adjust is better than doing vice versa

>>1392095
That's what I told them but they have to be bitches about it with the "it doesn't bother me" and "no we gotta follow the stupid rules that are not being enforced, even the ones even janitors do not care about" responses.
They know the activity will be hurt by this, they know if someone comes to /vg/ looking for the valorant general they will give up after not finding it, but I treat anons the same way I treat my teammates, if there is a huge problem that is fucking us up I will tell them about it once, if my teammates don't care about it that is their problem, I will try to play my part and get better at the game, it is their decision to die to the stun+nade combo on A main every round when we don't have any utility to challenge it.

>>1392161
If it's unranked you have no right to complain.

Shroud is promoting a cheap copy of Valorant lol

>>1380777
Attacking and defending are basically 2 different games, so I always wanna see how they play the other half, no matter how good we play attack my team always loses defending since duelist have this urge of dying in the first second after the barriers go down and refuse to change strategy when they are getting aimdiffed every round.
>>1392280
Not him but I have the same problem with people surrendering all the time, I want to play the game and I'm not gaining any experience or getting any better by going back to queuing, what will I do if I ever face a team that plays just like this in comp? just surrender? I want to try to make plays even if know some of them won't work, I wanna see the enemy team make plays so I can think of ways to counter them, valorant is full of losers who only want to gamble with the queue roulette until they face a bad team for an easy win so they can type gg ez in the chat, they don't want to play the game, they want to feel they are good at the game just to brag about it.

>>1392296
I don't know how I have the opposite problem as you guys. My issue is that no one EVER surrenders, even when it's not just hopeless in terms of skill difference but we're down a player (or two) or one player is actively trolling, or the enemy team is actively trolling, and we're generally demoralized. In unranked. And it's usually out of spite too, the last person to deny the surrender will usually straight up say in chat something along the lines of "I want you to suffer more."

>>1392305
The only think I can say is you should play shiftplay more, at least there you will only be trapped with afks and trolls for half of the time
I gave up on playing Unranked after the day I sat down for 8 hours and didn't get to play a entire half, it was always my team surrendering or the other team surrendering, no matter if the game was close or a stomping, I felt I was getting edged for too long, fuck that.
>And it's usually out of spite
Yeah it is awful, remember you are playing with kids.
>I don't know how I have the opposite problem as you guys
It's the randomness of life, I saw a guy who had 100% winrate on Icebox over 85 matches in soloQ, 85 games, and he was not a decent player, he was your average Sage shitter who only knows how to place the wall on mid.

Getting killed due to body block is almost uninstall-worthy.

Of course, then the irresponsible amount of money I've spent on this game would come back to hurt me.

Riot's servers get fucky from time to time, usually when some rewiring or maintenance is going on your ping will get fucked for your entire region, it may last hours, they don't tell you about those emergency maintenances unless the servers go down, gotta keep the illusion everything is going perfectly 24/7
>>1393785
I'm not schizo enough to do that, but I always report them if get one tapped through smokes when I'm standing on unexpected places, it could be luck but the report goes just in case.

>>1393813
I don't really consider it schizo, just with how bad the hacking problem in FPS games is lately, and how all anti-cheat is worthless if it isn't actually like most things and just a screen in-between you an subcontinental, staying on the safe side for me is to just report everyone that has too good of a K/D, does suspicious things (once had someone who ran Outlaw and did this odd no-scope thing of shooting off both barrels almost simultaneously and always, ALWAYS getting one perfect bodyshot and one perfect headshot), or is rolling with a group that seems to be in general trolling, talking shit, and flicking to your head a little bit too well (I notice hackers also tend to play in stacks, probably to prevent reports from their own team).

Almost done with challenges so I can get my one (1) agent token and buy Yoru. Can’t wait to flash my teammates

I suggested we should force buy after losing the second pistol round but the duo guys on my team said "I will rather lose this round but fight after the 10-4"
I said "that's okay but get ready for a long game" and they were okay with it, then we lost the bonus round too but they wanted the comeback after the 11-4, no one gave up mentally, it was a really nice game with a team that had enough patience and were willing to adapt, I wish I could get teammates like that more often.

Damn, Omen really is the coolest character in the game.

It is "alright" I guess, unbreakable utility is something the game needed more, I am tired of shooting at 20 different objects before I can get a duel, a sentinel that can flash is something new and unique at least (can wait to Breach-flash as a sentinel) I just wish the flash had one more charge, and the thorns will be a really deadly combo with any molly or area damage utility
Molly + thorns = not moving away? take damage and die, moving away? take even more damage.
The thing is she is pretty weak at info gathering, she could slow down rushes like Deadlock and Sage but if a entire team decides to push the wall at the same time it will be useless, Deadlock's and Sage's wall have to be destroyed, even if it takes 3 seconds it stops the enemy and distracts them for some time, I know the thorns are going to be in front of the wall and you activate them when the wall is triggered but the activation time seems to too slow, like really really slow, by the time you trigger your entire setup the enemy could be far away from it.
Another thing, looks like the entire setup is one single combo, KJ has a turret and a bot for 2 possible combos, Cypher can do the same with 2 trips and 2 cages + the cam, what can Vyse do? trigger the entire setup and peek once, looks like the bitch has one single chance to do some impact, she seems pretty weak against a coordinated team, I need to see how she plays and I wanna see some buffs

Valo has shittiest map design... Visually looks good but they are shit gameplay-wise. Heck, one of the map creators actually is a former vavle employee that made the least liked maps of cs and got fired LMAO.
Also, being character based is very restrictive, leading to bullshit unfair balance and less player expression same as what happens with league of shitfucks.
Enjoy the malware in exchange for s worse game lmao

>>1406893
I'll take Valo's map design instead of every map being a 3-lane split where every route has maybe 3 places an enemy can show up in and every round is just waiting to see who wins the early peeks.

Valorant is consistently one of the most viewed games on Twitch and has active communities on twitter, leddit and even tiktok. It has, at minimum, 20M MAU according to public data trackers.
It's a popular game by all normal metrics, but it barely gets discussed on 4chan. Imagine a venn diagram with the valorant playerbase and 4chan, the circles don't have much overlap

Ive been playing for 2 weeks on console. My biggest complaint is french people/arabs. I took the Paris server out of my server list and it doesnt make a difference because they queue in the london servers anyway.

Going to rack up 200 hours in unrated before I do my placement matches. some games I drop 35 kills, other games I bottom frag so idk where I'll place. It's fun though.

Bronze: nobody knows how to enter a site for shit, they all stack in one place as they don't know how to rotate, blame the duelists for everything
Silver: everybody rushing into site like idiots, no idea of post plant, start running around the map like monkeys at the minimum pressure from defense, full of lurking Reynas

>>1420134
Gold: everybody rushing like idiots, defenders only know how to spam utility but can't hit a shot, attackers chicken out as soon as one smoke lands on main, they don't have enough brain cells to process the fact that site is empty and Omen smoked from the other site, no one plays mid ever
Platinum: everybody thinks they are too good for this elo, all aim no brains pushing smokes without using any utility and get surprised when they get killed, everyone refuses to rotate even if the other site is empty, your Jett/Raze will gets mad at you for "not pushing with him" after he jumped over 3 mollies, Reina continues lurking, still has her flashes after the entire team died, then she gets 2 kills and dies.

This is me but I don't know how else to play because I don't trust my team and my aim is shit so I'm never getting above this rank.

I've been a good boy for several months now. I get one Alt-F4. As a treat.

I like playing Omen, and I like playing Sova, but no one wants to play Sova when I play Omen, and the rare people that play Omen when I play Sova, are stupid. But man I want that mythical Omen/Sova synergy.

did the valorant general die for good?

Not only are you never allowed to surrender, even when you have an AFK, but if you ever complain, the enemy team will conspire to try and get you stuck in the game for longer.

Not surrendering with one or more afks is shit, report these afk fuckers so they get a higher penalty.
The "enemy team trying to make the match longer" is bulshit most of the time, it's in your brain, in most cases the enemy team is having trouble closing the match, there are no "impossible comebacks" just really difficult ones that are hard to pull out, a better players than you could win that, you know how that "better player" got that good at the game? by practicing and analyzing his plays thinking what could he do better next time.
>I want to kill anyone who says people surrender too much in this game.
The problems is retards who go "let's rush A" and when it doesn't work 3 times in a row they go "let's rush B" when that doesn't work either they will vote to surrender without thinking why it didn't work
>was it the economy?

I don't give a shit if you're doing better than me, you're not going to be able to clutch shit if you're not wearing headphones and I saw you fail 5 rounds where we even had numbers advantage just because you can't hear a motherfucker coming to your right.

to be fair it is always the duelists in bronze. No one else is stupid enough to peek a very obvious sniper and think they can win. People in low elo think duelist=will win a 1v1 and not realize they do so because they have movement and blinds to actually challenge angles.

Last unranked game I had a fucking pheonix use his wall as a smoke on attack but instead just blocked our teams movement because his wall isn't a smoke because it damages everyone and then when we hit defence all he would do is run out and get killed and never use his wall to actually you know defend. Dude also died EVERY round.

TDLR low elo people who play duelists never use their kit ever and can't trade even.

>>1441792
>to be fair it is always the duelists in bronze
It is the duelist and absolutely everybody else in bronze, in low elo people barely have any understanding of how things in the game work, zero macro, no idea how to execute, how to defend or how to control the map. recently I made an account for a different region and boy low elo is brain-off city.

Look at this """"execute"""" on A short: enemy smokes us off, I get closer to the smoke and set up our smokes for attacking, none of our 2 Sentinels have placed any utility, Phoenix flashes in by himself with no support from Skye (Skye left as soon as the enemy smoke landed in front of us, now she's lurking on B long) no one else gets in with phoenix so I run in with him, he gets killed and I trade, him I clean Site and the other entrance, the site is ours but we haven't plant, why? Cypher has the spike, Cypher and Chamber are still sitting behind the smoke on main, I tell them to plant and they say "but our duelist died, I want to rotate" we have the site clear for 10 whole seconds and we didn't plant.
The enemy "retakes", 1 guy from CT and 2 guys jump from heaven, I kill the ct and one of the heaven guys then I get traded, Cypher and Chamber get killed from behind by the one guy who decided to lurk from mid, now the spike is lost and Skye loses the 1v2 50 seconds later.
And they get mad at phoenix for not getting kills when they are sitting there doing nothing, zero situation awareness, they think the duelist the a tank and dps and they are support roles or something.

The role of the duelist is challenging angles, duelists get in, take duels and create space and the other people run in behind them (if that is possible) trying to at least trade them.
Yeah sometimes you duelist is retarded and doesn't use utility but don't say you are in bronze because of bad duelists, it is dumb or new players who don't know what to do in general.

>Pheonix use his wall as a smoke on attack
I am sure he was doing it wrong but that is it's main function, it is used to split the site, flood one side and flash through it, so the dude had some idea of how it is supposed to work, it doesn't do much friendly fire
Don't push your Phoenix wall if you don't have some kind of recon or space taking utility like a flash, a stun or a drone
Unfortunately a wall like that can fuck your team's gameplan, coordinating is the hardest part in lower elo, try to ask your entry fraggers what is their plan, sometimes they are not dicks and will actually explain the way they play

>>1420167
>>1420134
nigga just aim your way to plat and work from there
diamond is where functional preround strats and reactive play happen
ascendant is where midrounding happens

I'm certain that the reason I suck is because my desk isn't low enough and I'm not in optimal position for swinging my arm around.

>>1442033
No I mean like this mf would block off the entrance of the site with his wall like he was trying to use it like cloves or brimstones smokes and we had to wait for it drop. dude also went 2 deaths for every kill for a k/d ratio and the one fucking time hes able to rush freely IE his ult this mf spends the whole time walking to not give away his position.

>>1441932
I'm not in bronze but I play alot of unrated and so you get a grabbag of people there and I'm not saying duelists themselves are the reason for losing but the whole idea of a duelist attracts the worst players who will be the reason for losing. They either never challenge angles and push or they peek fucking sight lines with no blinds and get plucked by a sniper or they rush out the second the gates drop and try to fight a whole team and get mowed down.

Duelists tend to be a magnet for this kind of behavior at lower levels because shit players oftentimes see people drop 30 bombs or clutch up with duelists thanks to their kit so most of the time ur dead weight retard players will instalock duelists at lower levels and play recklessly because they have this mindset that they can clutch up and get ez kills even though it takes just as much setup as other types of agents.

>>1443402
I feel like a lot of people go into this game thinking that it's like League, you pick a role and then "do that role."

But 90% of this game is still just CS. If you can't aim for shit it really doesn't matter if you're playing a healer or a duelist you're still dead weight most of the time. Hell, abilities that deal damage are pretty rare in the entire movelist. You still have to use your gun to kill in most situations.

Did the Valorant community just decide it was okay for players at the bottom of the scoreboard to constantly be talking shit. Back in my day if you were at the bottom of the scoreboard and talking shit the admin fucking server muted you.

>>1443602
Riot daddy said you can't say anything bad or you will get reported and banned.
>bottom of the scoreboard
That doesn't always reflect your skill, you could be playing perfectly but the starts align and you get fucked one round after the other
>you trow the perfect flash and get one tapped by the flashed ct
>next round a teammate body blocks you getting your killed
>next round you get hit and killed by a crazy flash lineup
>next round you get killed by the Raze ult
>next round a teammate makes noise behind you making the ct spray the smoke killing you
>next round you get tagged by Sova's drone and lasered by his ult
>next round 2 teammates get in and you get killed by the ct hiding in the corner the other guys passed by without clearing
And so on, baiting your teammates is a easy solution for such situation, nothing wrong with it, they will get mad at your for bottomfragging anyways

>>1443681
There's only so much bottom fragging someone can do in 13 rounds before it inevitably becomes their fault for not gitting gud.

I'm watching him.
I'm watching him use Reyna E after every kill even in scenarios where it's useless and I know I will not be allowed to surrender this at 1-6.

>>1443804
Well I alt-F4'd that one, mostly because of the aimgod Neon on the other team.

>>1443681

This is what happens when you allow women, niggers and faggots in your hobbies, you get your ass censored. Go ahead guys keep buying these $40 skins, keep eating shit out of Riot's asshole.

I try not to take Riot's retarded enforcement too seriously it's done purely because of SBI and the fact that it makes them "look good" to have all these banned players (even though they're just all the players who finally got fed up with a shitty team or edaters or the horrible community in general) since it's not like they're a serious company. Imagine playing ranked the way it exists where you can have two ragequitters and the game still somehow counts and more importantly despite us being down 4 rounds before the AFKers, now that the AKFers are gone, you still are gonna hit me with "winnable" and refuse to surrender? Are you fucking retarded? Am I going insane? Or am I the only sane man alive?

They always fight Clove's resurrect.
They always do they never just back off and let her die, they always force a fight and die.

At that level now where it's all just aimdiff and no amount of strategy matters.

Please stop flanking with me while I'm ratting, you are basically making me lose the ability to enjoy this shitty game.

Fracture is just so ass man, there's no mid to play so you're just getting 5-manned at whatever lane you took and hoping you can take one or two out so your team doesn't have to 4v5 retake.

Have you tried defending Arcade? it sucks when you are against competent enemies (personally I hate how regular smokes can't fill that shitty entry point).
Same about A Hall, duelists (and chambers) love defending that part of the map for easy kills but after a stun or a flash you lose it, then you have 3 Ts running past the door and flooding your spawn 5 seconds later.
As the other anon said it is fun as a gimmicky map but I hate it in comp, I hate defending on it.

>>1455111
>but I hate it in comp
nigga it hasn't been in rotation for years

>>1455176
And? I hate that map and I don't wanna play it in comp ever again. I am old, I don't need map rotations, I don't need a new map every act, I don't like when things change "for the sake of change" just because kids got bored of "the current thing"
I don't need things to change for me to be interested in them again, I don't like change unless it is some kind of improvement, I could play Ascent and Heaven for the rest of my life without getting bored.

Most duelists are broken, they should remove all the movement abilities from the game

Now that I'm thinking about it they could also get rid off all the ults, all the damage dealing abilities and all the info gathering abilities

You know what? all the agents should have the same kit, Brimstone' Q, Kay/o's Q (on another key of course) and one Brim smoke for every player, we should also make smokes extinguish mollies to stop faggots from spamming mollies on chokepoints and playing postplant molly lineups for the spawn or the opposite site

>>1457319

Chances are it's not even that high and they're counting bans for racial slurs into the data.

Riot doesn't do shit about people who throw your game on purpose even when they're massively obvious about it, they don't do shit about wallers because Vanguard couldn't detect that even if it was useful, they only ban you for saying racial slurs.

Cheating in online games will be rampant until A) private servers are brought back and B) Chinese and Indians are banned from the internet and deported from the country.

>>1457448
I just dislike the movement characters because they break the game. You have to play CS while they get to play Call of Duty. Jett and Neon are already annoying with their ability to make crosshair placement a non-factor in your game but they become outright broken with their ults.

I think there's a reason there's only two movement characters in the game so far.

>>1457724
raze neon jett and to an extent yoru are good because they can get past angles thanks to their abilities breaking crossfires so that the rest of the team can get into sites
without them the game would be even more defense sided

>>1458448
Yoru and Raze feel like they do it in a much more fair way than Jett and Neon which for the most part get is "get to wide peek a corner for free." Even Chamber's same ability to do this still only works on his return, not his entry.

>>1458451
jett needs to channel the dash now which means its not a get out of jail free card anymore unless you planned the play in advance
neon's 2 slides + recharge + bar refresh on kill is nuts though.

Just got a "silver" team that were afraid of enter the site even though I had been in for 10 seconds and was completely clean

>>1458457
It still can be used to wide peak an angle you're trying to hold and all she has to do is vary the distance (and sometimes not use it) to make it impossible for you to predict. But I'd still agree she's not as bad as Neon, until she gets her ult but still, not as a bad as Neon with her ult.

Raze, Omen, and Yoru require some cleverness and setting up their movement to make it work for them. Jett and Neon are the picks of retards who refuse to play strategically for a reason.

I just don't even feel like playing because the only way I can even get kills now is by flanking, if the enemy sees me first they just magnetize to my head in 0.1 seconds so I just don't even bother buying weapons that aren't good for headshots on people not looking away because what's the point, I'll lose every 1-on-1 duel anyways.

Anon you have Shiftplay, Spilkerush and team deathmatch to do your dailies, if you know how awful matchmaking is why are you torturing yourself by queuing?
Also if you play every day you could add 15 minutes of that time for aim training, just 15 minutes on team deathmach would help you aim a lot, if you are NA East or latam I could help you with that your aim can improve a lot in a month.

>>1464568
I already did aim training, I'm plateau'd. Aiming is mostly genetics and I've hit the limit of mine.

>and an office mouse
That one is so vague I will say it is wrong, there are too many kinds of office mouse out there and some cheap chinese shit local companies get in bulk have really shitty sensors that are basically unusable
>can't catch any fast move
>any amount of dust on the sensor would make them stop working
>sensors with extremely low resolutions around 100 dpi that gets artificially upscaled to "3600 dpi"
>mice that have a polling rate of 80hz
>mice that won't work on light or dark surfaces and good luck if your desk and your mousepad have reflective surfaces
All of those cheap mice have something in common, you need to use extremely high sensibility in order for them to be barely usable and even then the sensor would just die if you try to make a flick.
It got to the point I would carry my own mouse to work, something I always tell to anyone who wants better aim is to check if their mouse actually works, I try to find out if the mouse is not holding them back and you wouldn't believe how many people play with the "$8 7200 dpi RGB high precision gaming mouse" and Windows mouse acceleration active without realizing how bad that shit is, basically "human eyes can't see more than 24 fps" levels of ignorance being so common it baffles me, funny enough people with the shittiest mice are usually the ones with the most expensive skins, I guess $25 for a mouse is too much for them, priorities.
I just remembered Warowl made a video related to low budged setups

>guy on the other team is very obviously at least walling, probably with some admittedly good natural aim too

>they won't let us surrender either

>>1464596
>Aiming is mostly genetics
What a crappy way to cope bro, how did you come to that conclusion? who told you such thing?
>I already did aim training
How often and for how long? how old are you?
>I've hit the limit of mine.
30% genetics and 70% practice, you better tell me you had your 10000 hours of aim training required to reach your limit of obtainable skill by experience, otherwise you are talking shit and pulling out excuses out of your ass.

>>1464625
its some logitech one without any gamer lights on it

>>1464877
I'm a low sens player so I am slightly picky about the mice but it is true you don't need fancy or top of the line stuff to success, any mouse with a decent IPS tracking speed should be enough to play as long as it is not constantly freezing with flicks.
>some logitech one
Logitech is the biggest mouse brand in the world, even their cheapest mice probably have decent sensors, I would still go for something like a G102/G203 just for the chance of setting specific DPI and polling rate values since I have so much muscle memory with 400 DPI.
>without any gamer lights
RGB shit is gay, only good for choosing a specific color for you setup but I usually turn that shit off, it is annoying.

>Marshall
-Two-shot bodyshot
-2x zoom
-Medium penetration so good for peppering enemies behind walls
-$950
-Fires very fast
-Readies fast
-Reloads moderately quickly
-Decent unscoped accuracy

>Outlaw
-Two-shot bodyshot
-2x zoom
-High penetration so will kill behind a wall with a headshot in the extremely rare circumstance that comes up
-Readies moderately slowly
-Reloads slowly (unless you only fire once)
-Has faster fire rate but useless mostly because it has recoil
-Holds only two shots
>but the kicker: $2200

Why would anyone buy the Outlaw?

>>1464976
It was made for players to deal with the light shield meta, it is really good on anti eco and bonus rounds, 2 body shots to instantly delete 2 light shield players, it punishes the light shield+rifle users (it was getting too common) and it works against light shield Iso too. Checking the scoreboard to see if multiple enemies have less than $3800 and going Outlaw to punish them is a common tactic on high level play.
>Has faster fire rate but useless mostly because it has recoil
Wrong, the recoil is gone by the time the second shot is fired, shot it as fast as you can and you will see the 2 shots connect in the same point, good outlaw player can deal with the camera shake. It is a situational weapon similar to the judge.

>>1465031
Okay but why are more situational weapons many times more expensive than the more general application weapons, at least in any weapon class that isn't rifles?

Guardian is more situational than Vandal but it has its advantages, is generally more usable than the Judge or Outlaw in their respective weapon classes, but actually costs less than the weapons everyone wants.

>>1465296
>why are more situational weapons many times more expensive
I would assume it is because val devs don't want players to use these weapons too often, the high price changes a purchases from
>I can try this gun and still have money to spare
>I am low on money but can get this buy
And turn it into
>this is expensive, are you sure it's worth it?
Making the player fully compromise, economy balance what they can do when players are using a weapon too often but the the devs don't think it is okay to nerf it, it is hard to find the right price for these kinds of weapons.

The stinger was supposed to be a cheaper version of the Specter but it was pretty overpowered, similar to the "out it the open AWPer Jett" there were many "Stinger only Reynas" peeking people on close angles or smokes and dismissing away, at one point the stinger got nerfed hard but the weapon ended up being so useless no one was buying it even later when its price got reduced to from $1100 to $950, players would rather buy the recently nerfed Bucky, the gun ended up being useless even for its intended purpose, the only solution was as buff so that is what they did, the weapon was then usable enough to justify buying it over the Bucky but since it was so cheap everyone was forcing stinger+light shields and save rounds stopped existing, stinger+shield was becoming meta but if the gun gets nerfed again it would go back to being useless, so the price got bumped back to $1100.
The economy of the game is fragile, if you don't make players compromise with their purchases things can start to spiral out of control, the Judge was originally $1500 and it could one shot kill light shield players at 15 meters, it got nothing but nerfs and price increases over the last 4 years, the Guardian was $2700 and it got its price reduced 3 times, the Outlaw could get a slight price reduction, I would say val devs didn't understand how to balance the economy until the patch 3.0, agent balance is still a mess.

>>1466036
tl;dr Riot doesn't balance things correctly and when they actually try balancing it's usually towards making the devs happy in their unrated games and not towards any actual logic or reason.

>>1464772
It's so funny to see fags saying shit like "the game's gotten do hard!" "the playerbase has improved so much in the last year!" "The ranked system is broken" And the such, but not even for a bit consider that there just are more cheaters now.
If Vanguard is supposed to be better than ever at catching them why would they suddenly after 4 years now implement that recovering rr after the cheater gets caught thing? And still not implementing the replay system and just cover their asses showing some shitty visual bugs and going "oh it's too hard! But we sure do love spending years developing gun skins instead!

>waaaaah you didn't buy me when I was going 0-5 so now I'm gonna trap you in this game with me
And I have motherfuckers trying to gaslight me here telling me that the fucking subhuman brown IQ playerbase of this game doesn't refuse to surrender out of spite.

Neon literally just sucks to play against, gets to do shit literally no one else can do and get away with it.

It's a really great joke by Riot to make it so that all recoil patterns trace the exact outline of an enemy without hitting them even once fantastic sense of humor you fucking niggercunts.

>>1469419
have you tried shooting the head instead of spraying and crying

>>1469859
Yes that was plan A, but plan A failed, so I had to go to plan B, which was spraying and crying.

>>1469859
Not that guy but the phantom and vandal have retarded as fuck recoil patterns and if your first shot doesn't land a headshot it genuinely feels like its complete RNG. As far as I can tell from shooting walls the phantom goes in a ? and the vandal goes in a 7 but it feels like when I try to compensate for that its the same result as just leaving my marker still.

How the actual fuck does recoil really work in this game. I need to know.

Gekko nerfs are fine, but Neon needs a nerf ASAP.

>>1475549
Two people were retarded enough for that to happen?

>>1478493
I'm starting to get the feeling that they're balancing around competitive again and they like the way Neon looks to casual observers so she's going to get treated with baby gloves.

>>1477785
Like most of Riot's "pro-casual" changes it will actually make the game less casual because headshots will become even more necessary than they already are.

>>1479761
Nah, it's just making the game more and more frustrating to play. Plus not dealing with smurfs at all and the recent rampant cheating making the matchmaking trash, horrible map design, focus on social stuff and influencers, and of course still no replay system of any sort at all

Who are they nerfing next? Definitely not Neon

They hate us cuz they can't be us, Neon bros

I have no idea what you people are talking about. I bully Neon players every time I play Deadlock.

>>1485613
No skill fags are crying about her loudly, then loser pros trying to gain importance jumped on the bandwagon. Jett and Raze are still far more useful than Neon. It's always duelists the agents you see them cry about more, probably out of jealousy. Agents like Gekko and Breach have ridiculously OP abilities but not a single word about them needing a big nerf ever

>>1485711
I just hate playing Neon specifically but I don't play competitive. I'm aware good team comp and strategy beats out Neon but I'm not playing at a high enough level for it to matter and in a casual environment Neon is really good (and she's still annoying in a 1v1 scenario).
