I have a amd fx6300, a amd Rx 550, and 8 GBs of ram. I make zero excuses for my terrible performance in matches. I am almost at max rank because I am simply that good at the valorant.

any updated tips and tricks?

>>1763567
phenom2 rx470 8gb ram ** 60hz monitor **
the monitor almost makes it unplayable, everything else is fine

I can easily tell when Im playing against skilled people and when Im playing against people with 300+ hz screens

its night and day
if its a skilled person with good pc, its unplayable, you just get insta-shot everywhere before you can see them on your screen

everything else is manageable

What were they thinking when they gave deathmatch a REQUIRED playercount of 12? That's far too many people in a free for all mode on most maps, there's no breathing room.

Because with a Vandal when their triggerbot doesn't activate because they put it at 80% activation to avoid getting banned they can still spray you down.

I picked up Breach since Raze, Reyna and Neon are for faggots, Omen and Yoru are for teenagers and Astra is for nobody. How do you play this guy? I feel like I have to read the minds of the enemies AND my teammates. If I hit a group with util I barely have enough time to jump out and kill one guy before the others recover and retaliate.

How are battle score and RR supposed to take into account difficult to quantify contributions such as KJ deterring a team from even approaching a site or Viper stalling a chokepoint for 30 seconds straight?
Like, nobody expects any given lockdown to actually hit someone, it just swings the round entirely in your favor. But how can you measure the effect of something like that?

People take spike rush, team deathmatch, swiftplay and even escalation a lot more seriously than unrated and I don't know how to feel about that.

>>1838823
Most of new players use unrated to quickly level up, also the fact that in unrated the games are longer plays to it, in shorter modes people just go all out

Seize is the worst grenade in the game, worse than clove nade. Why the fuck did they limit the range? Were they afraid of the potential epic lineup to crossmap prowler combo? I'm just gonna play Gekko.

what am i supposed to as kj on attack, just watch the flank? because every time i do that my teammates just get completely flummoxed by the first chokepoint they come across. they just stand there holding a sightline no defender is going to walk into because they dont have to

even if i catch and frag a lurker, they still wont rotate until the 30 second mark

I see why this community hates "ratting," it's the easiest way to tell when someone's hacking.

>>1895633
Thats all you're really meant to do until the spike goes down.

>>1895633
Shoot your gun

>>1895633
You're essentially a duelist with some trips that alert you to nearby enemies and an ult that absolutely decimates the round once the spike goes down.

If you are not aiming like at least the average immortal player, you are playing a completely different game.

If you aim like a diamond player, you might as well just play death match

i play kj and never use my abilities

>>1920428
I don't even know what Immortal aim in any game is supposed to be anymore now that cheating is just a fact of life in every single multiplayer FPS and even in many LAN tournaments.

Back in my day CS pros having an over-50 HS% was considered godlike aim.

Oh, maybe I'm not washed after all. I still don't really get gunfights in this game. I haven't played CS in a hot minute but my gun/character both feels more unwieldy and unresponsive than I ever remember it in that game and I feel like I land a fair amount of headshots that I don't really deserve.

Agent: Dice
Role: Controller
Theme: Time manipulation, shapes rounds by bending seconds.

Basic Abilities

1. Fast Forward
Trap that banishes whoever steps on it into a timeout zone for 5 seconds.
After the duration, they reappear at the same spot.

2. Rewind
Sends whoever steps on the zone 5 seconds back into a past position.

3. 555
On activation, for 5 seconds, all status changes (damage, healing, buffs/debuffs) are delayed by 5 seconds.

Ultimate: "Unpredictable"
Rewinds the entire game by 10 seconds.
No exceptions: player positions, health, abilities, consumables, spike state and map conditions are all reset.
A total redo of the last 10 seconds, the definition of unpredictability.

Ultimate stack resolution:
00:00 dice 1 ults
-00:10
-00:09 dice 2 ults
since "00:01" never existed the clock runs back to "-00:19" instead of to what would have been "one second into a future that had never happened" and it would look to players as if the game had rewound nineteen seconds but to the characters no one had seen how the future after "-00:19" had been erased.

Ultimate voicelines:
team: "Insanity is repetition."
enemy: "We’re all mad here."

Voicelines:
"everyone wants to try again until they do"
"time only goes forward to you"
"it's usually cheap to think, buy it"
"you thought it was a good idea again"
"this failed but you wanted to know how"
"you won but you wanted to erase evidence"
"funny, you load your weapons"

low ranks are so hard to get out of and its motly because there is little to no communication, but that can be surpassed if people had at least two deceased braincells to rub together. how is a site with a deadlock, a raze and a fade letting anyone into site? I try to get some comms and no one says shit, I sperg out and one of them gets on mic to say dont be so salty. WTF are you doing in ranked??? our entry is lurking, our other entry is not using util.... how can people play this game??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? go play unrated you waste of skin.

Gotta love the enemy players with perfect timing every round (they're bronze btw) or the classic "go all out with the cheats first half, then toggle on and off on the second half"

>>1954145
My favorite one is "cheat so hard for 12 rounds then turn them off and be obviously dogshit for another 12 rounds until you turn them back on again and win."
I live in the South too so this extremely obvious shit actually WORKS on the sub-90-IQ spics and nigs constantly seem to be on my team. No wonder their countries are such shitholes.

>we are 5v4 because enemy have an afk
>all we have to do is chill, not do any dumb plays and wait for them and it's ez win
>dumbass Fade decides to go look for them every round and dies like a retard
They need to delete this game from existence

>>1954135
You can still see other player POV's if they were in your match, no? You just can't watch other players and being able to watch better players and see how they do shit is like half the point of a replay system.

>>1952671
>>1954137
Gamesense without mechanics is useless. Get to immortal to apply the game sense

>>1954750
This.
When pro coaches recruit they look for good aimers. Game sense can be taught, aim can't.

I have never seen a decent Astra player.

So I have decided to BECOME the Astra you ran into that one time on unrated who wasn't completely useless. It will not be easy given how clunky she is, wish me luck.

Chamber or Yoru next agent? Either way, it will take a few rounds of being supremely awful at the character before I get the motions down.

>>1984723
chamber is very simple. you have to be aggressive on defence unlike other sentis. on attack you should know how to lurk. chamber is useless without good aim

yoru has very high ceiling and a learning curve. he is insanely versatile.

>>1984723
Yoru is the "holy shit I'm so fucking good at this game I am outplaying the shit out of you right now.

I think there are characters that does what he does but easier but Yoru has a good flashbang and his tricks can really psyche an opponent out.

Chamber is all about aim, that's all he does. All of his abilities are about getting good weapons earlier than his teammates and giving him a slight edge in holding a position. If you're doing well, expect to be asked for weapons a lot since you have a revolver and Op in your toolkit by default.

why does discussion of this game seem completely dead not just here but even on spaces like leddit?
just seems weird compared to how much the game has blown up over the years

>>1991073
I don't really think it's that dead on reddit, it's just that game subreddits are a lot less active than they used to be.
