You tell me

How tf this game still doesn't have weapon stats and replay system?

>>1543064
While I agree Gekko and Clove need nerfs, Neon was definitely not "pointless." If she already has the best defensive capability in the game and the ability to get out of many situations which is annoying enough she certainly doesn't need a shit-ton of offensive ability, too.

>>1543305
> While I agree Gekko and Clove need nerfs
You missed the point, just like the clueless Riot devs. Both of them are fine as they are, but because not enough people and “pros” cry and bitch about them they don’t do anything, though golden boy Tenz already started crying about Clove so they might touch her. The point is, trash Riot devs don’t know how to actually BALANCE their fucking agents for shit, which has led to all controllers except Clove to be unfun to play or even useless, same with the initiators.

They base their balance way too much on player and pros reaction which shows how little clue they have of their own game. They tried making the post spam thing way less prevalent in Sunset by changing the site; the truth is they probably didn’t even think it was gonna be a problem because most likely all of them play post plant just like that lmao so when their map changes didn’t work they just decided to remove sunset from the map pool and get away with the pings lol

Some new lead dev with an actual clue and experience has to come, tell the pros to fuck off and just rework most of the agents and maps

>valorant has one (1) fun character

There's great games like Apex if that's your style.

>>1543493
lol i came to valo from apex. gravitated to neon because shes the only one who doesnt feel completely and utterly static. i think realistically valorant just isnt my kinda game but apex is in a horrendous state and the alternatives are limited

>>1542388
Play Strinova instead

how bad is the cheating in valorant?

>>1543886
Slightly better than other games in the sense that for some reason straight up kernel-level spyware is apparently necessary to even take care of the most generic script-kiddy hacks but Vanguard is like TSA, it's there to make you feel better and annoy you.

Why pick an entry-fragging role if you aren't gonna entry-frag?

>>1543394
If the game wasn't trying to cater to emotionally raped teenage girls who don't use comms we wouldn't need the ping system in the first place.

>>1543496
That's great to hear. You can also try Fortnite and nuCoD if you want to play a game that has sliding and fast movement in it. In fact most modern games cater to your playstyle.

>>1544689
Because if they're not 1v5ing at all times how will they practice for VCS?

Also I'm just generally tired of getting punished for one queue dodge so now I get to play with 4 duelists on fracture or Mr. Crosshair is Big and I never aim my shots I full auto everything aren't I SO FUCKING FUNNY

what is with people in this game feeling entitled to your gun skin just because they asked

Do I get Vyse, Breach or Gekko?

>>1545267
Gekko ofc. Breach is meh and Vysse is literally useless

>>1545310
What's wrong with Vyse?

>>1545320
Nothing, it's just that every other sentinel does her job better

>>1545320
Bad for regular players, good for a comp team. She has no selfish abilities and using her abilities well requires coordination.

People in Unrated are so fucking retarded, but what is with the weird rules I see these people give themselves?
-Not using abilities
-Refusing to walk at any point and getting mad when someone else does
-refusing to pick up spike and getting mad when someone else does

>>1546253
Doesn't make them stop playing in retarded ways.

Literally I'm not seeing bans for anything anymore. Not obvious wallhacks, not toxic behavior, not even the only thing that used to be guarunteed, which was baiting someone into saying nigger and then reporting them.

This season literally has been just full of hackers for some reason. They must have discovered some exploit in the Ring 0.

Is Viper kinda shit at the moment?
Should I be playing another controller?

>>1553549
Was scrolling tiktok and saw someone livestreaming themselves blatantly spinbotting to 10k people.

>>1554300
I mean I haven't seen anything so blatant, but I have seen a lot of wallers. Nothing better than being blamed for "not smoking" (I did) by an all-aim-no-brain Jett who is barely going even because in their mind the very obvious wall-hacker shooting them accurately through the smoke is my fault.

>let's use pre-set recoil patterns like CS
>but let's make them basically impossible for a human player to follow
>this definitely won't cause a huge difference between people playing legit and people using a macro

It actually seems to have gotten worse in the leadup to the season, like on both ends, not only are there more of them, but they're more blatant, and somehow people still refuse to believe that they're hacking.

I enjoy it because I don't have to worry about some retard sabotaging my entire game because he thinks flanking is an "illegitimate" playstyle.

>>1560375
I'm tired of seeing Reyna in LITERALLY every game desu.
I wish they nerfed her for like a month so that we just could see her less for some time.

>>1561222
Just select a different server? how bad is the ping for those? I play fine with a 80 or less ping

End a session with a win or loss?

>>1561722
It's nice having 15 ping though.

Nothing more satisfying than Alt-F4ing on a garbage team that refuses to surrender while you were the only one who was meaningfully contributing and keeping a positive K/D. Have fun without me, fuckers.

The game launched with no AZERTY keyboard support and it literally took a neckbeard riot and rage quit fest for the devs to actually bother working on implementing it.

This tells you a lot about Riot in general and how little they give a fuck about the community as long as they have their niche furries/trannies/child groomer ''hardcore'' base secured.

Like another user suggested above, the most frustrating thing about the game is how people who throw, afk and simply troll to ruin the game for everyone else get little to no punishment but if you use a slur word and get a few reports you immediately get banned for long periods of time.

The esports scene is basically just CS refugees trying to revive their ''careers'' and Riot throwing money at everyone to pretend the scene isn't dead. Most teams are cash furnaces with zero profitability and nepotism is rampant in the higher tiers as most of the players in the scene know each other. Teams are basically structured as a mafia designed to milk what ever funding Riot has to give them before closing down and moving to other games.

>>1562825
What do you gain by surrendering? even when I get my ass beat I stay trying to understand what I am doing wrong, figuring out how to counter their strategy, finding what the enemy is doing right, that way next time I face a similar situation I would have a way to fight back.
Imagine surrendering only to fight against the same trio on the next match, alternatively you have them in your team and this time they play like shit.

>>1563204
not him but not wasting my team with a retarded team that isnt going to win and is instead gonna drag the comp game out.

Sometimes people are too garbage to win with. You can't always drop 3 kills every round to pick up peoples slack and sometimes its their util use thats shit and you can only get so far by marking and trying to get people to use it properly.

>>1563069
I am amazed this game has no personal weapon/map/agent stats, replay system and many other QOL features older games have
But hey, at least they have overpriced skins.

>>1563204
Well I'm playing unranked to have fun, so I gain nothing by not surrendering even if I win, and I despise being held hostage in a game, especially one like this where if I die it means I'm out for the round, so being on a losing team is not "fun" because you are literally not playing the game for large periods of time. But mostly I also just am constantly astounded how players can get just absolutely dominated, or have players leave, or hell, even REMAKE votes aren't voted yes on! Then again I live in the South so the average playerbase here is non-white and so has a much lower IQ, but don't give me the never surrender excuse: high level chess play is full of forfeits because good players are able to understand when they've been beaten or put themselves in an unwinnable position. It's considered good sportsmanship to be able to recognize that and not drag the game out for the other player.

Surrendering when you have afk people is understandable, otherwise you are just being a faggot crying because he's out of his comfort zone, if you refuse to adapt or get better mental you are a pathetic looser who only wants easy matches.
>>1563242
>a retarded team that isnt going to win
You just "know" your team isn't going to win, right? what about (You) actually winning the match? can't you do that?
>>1563582
You are right about the remakes, but
>being on a losing team is not "fun"
Just win?
>so I gain nothing by not surrendering even if I win
I'm not talking about precious virtual points, I'm talking about experience, practice, knowledge.
>good players are able to understand when they've been beaten or put themselves in an unwinnable position
This isn't chess you dumb nigger, unwinnable positions? just click heads, your team doesn't forfeit? walk down mid with a marshal or sheriff plus armor, get your 2 kills and pick up your phone or a book when you die, alt+tab to youtube or something.

I am not trying to justify anything, just reminding you nothing we post here is going to change anything at all, half of your matches are going to be shit anyways, you should learn to have fun even when you are losing considering you are going to lose half of your matches for the rest of your life, that's a lot of time wasted specially considering you are not having fun in those.

>>1563650

Anon... Valve NEVER listen to the playerbase. N E V E R. At least Riot takes SOME feedback. Valve takes none, they don't give a shit especially now that they're busy with Deadlock. TF2 fans know all about apathetic dev that is Valve and now CS players get a taste of it.

>>1568884

What are you smoking?
No, listening to the trannies on Reddit and implementing a no-no word filter does count as listening, and neither does constantly releasing champs that they know are OP and then nerfing them later after they've had their fun/gotten their money.

New agent is pretty fun, definitely getting nerfed because of that

Why are you still playing ranked?
In fact why would anyone play ranked? You don't get anything for achieving ranks, no in-game currency or such. No exclusive skins, not a pat on the back. Just some arbitrary icon and number that resets each season. You will never be recruited on the esports team or anything. Why torture yourself? Valorant is unironically enjoyable when played casually.

>>1576317
This is unranked.

I used to think that the Spectre was just bad for the price but now I wonder if it's been nerfed recently because now it's just plain bad.

LET ME FLANK. STOP RUNNING TO ME JUST BECAUSE THE OTHER SITE IS SMOKED OFF.

>>1577505
Its just bad and always has been. You should be buying the stinger over it every single time

Unranked isn't the "real game" so people will just blatantly troll and act in a non-white manner in unranked, but they'll NEVER surrender, so if you want people who are actually taking the game seriously, you have to get screamed at in ranked, where people WILL surrender all the time.

I don't get it.

>>1580405
Unranked is not the real game, so all the low IQ monkeys and stoners can turn off their brain and freely jump around doing nothing more than talking about their favorite mumbleraper.
In ranked they are supposed to win so they give up as soon as they realize they won't win for free, nothing more scary for them than actually having to use their brain in order to win.

Is controller the worst soloq role?

>>1582016
yes
if you have game sense use agents that give map control and info like initiator or senti

>>1581548
Just wish there was a middle ground between "getting screamed at for not knowing the latest pro lineup" and "retard who gets mad at you for telling him to get off A they're at B, they've been at B for the past minute."

>>1582016
Yes, both controller and sentinel, playing duelist and initiator is less frustrating since they allow you to take duels comfortably, with them you have granted impact on duels (the most important part in soloq). Omen and Clove slightly get around the soloq controller shittyness since their kits help you to take duels.
>>1582262
Depends on the elo, playing sentinel with braindead teammates sucks, Ts can just rotate away from the site you are defending, no matter how much info you gather, how fast you rotate or how fast you flank, your teammates will be dead by the time you get there.
Have you noticed how many Cypher mains are really good at clutching? they play 1v3s so calmly, there is a reason why they have that solo clutch skill, lots and lots of experience.

>>1583171
Isn't the point to play a controller that can play mid while your cameras/sentries/tripwires notify you if the other site is in play?

Wall of text warning
>>1583231
Ideally yes, you can place a perfect smoke but that doesn't mean your team knows how to play around it, Ts can just walk right past if there isn't nothing to stop them right away like a molly or a Phantom player spraying the smoke, if they don't push the smoke they could be silently rotating, your team already overotaded and now Ts have a free plant on the other side of the map, I'm talking about low elo experiences.
>a controller that can play mid
Highly depends on the map and the character you are playing, Astra, Omen and Viper are not restricted by range, allowing you to position somewhere else in the map, but you already know their tradeoffs.

It sucks to play controller on soloq because it makes it harder for you to carry games, I'm not saying you can't, but is it harder for you, to carry as a controller on low elo you need one or more of these:
>lots of map knowledge
>lots of lineups
>precise utility usage
>excellent aim and execusion
Even then your team is going to get angry and report you as soon as you place a flood smoke, a lurk smoke or a one way.
As a initiator or duelist you only need the most basic utility usage to kill the guy hiding in the corner, adding the fact you can easily survive multiple duels.
>tl;dr if you want to carry may as well play a different role

The reason why I became a controller main was mostly me getting killed by a CT sniper on heaven every single time I walked in a site, back then players would insta-pick the few flash characters but no one flashed on the entry, you wouldn't see a smoke on heaven either.
They wanted a controller in the team but no one wants to play smokes, everyone wants to play duelist (the real reason recent characters have more aggressive tools, everyone wants to play duelist), denying vision to the players that always kill me? I gladly filled the roll.

Why are people playing chamber every game? Especially when they have trash aim

>>1583670

>>1563650
Islamic terrorist groups also believe in never surrendering, they believe in "FIGHT BROTHER. YOUR NAME WILL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER AS A FIGHTER." Then they pop out of cover, fire blindly and hit nothing, and get domed in the head, and are quickly forgotten about. Which is why Hamas has never won any conflict without America coming in to make sure Israel doesn't rape them too hard.
