The Controversial Play
The Reddit post by JicamaActive showcases a play where a player manages to get a 4K (3K was nutty at first) in what many commenters consider to be a low elo match. The play starts with the attacking team pushing onto the point and the defending team setting up defensive positions. The attacking team throws a flashbang that blinds three members of the defending team, who are inexplicably lined up. The attacking player then rushes in and eliminates all three defenders, with one of the eliminated players even dismissing out of the smoke. The attacking player then proceeds to eliminate the fourth defending player, culminating in a fantastic 4K play.
Skill and Experience in Valorant
The reaction to the post has been mixed, with some commenters praising the attacking player's skill and others criticizing the defending team's lack of situational awareness. Several commenters have classified the play as a low elo match, with some surmising that it could be a silver lobby game. This has led to discussions about the role of skill and experience in Valorant, and whether the game favors players who can outmaneuver their opponents with swift tactical maneuvers or players who have better aim and reaction times.
Tactical Decision Making and Game Mechanics
Other commenters have focused on the tactical decision making and game mechanics involved in the play. Some have questioned why the defending team decided to line up behind each other, making themselves vulnerable to a flashbang. Others have speculated that the defending players may have been too focused on their individual positions and failed to communicate effectively. This has led to discussions about the importance of choosing optimal positions, communicating well with teammates, and staying aware of the enemy's movements and tactics.
Wrapping Up
In conclusion, the Reddit post by JicamaActive detailing the 4K play has generated interesting discussions about the role of skill and experience in Valorant, as well as the importance of tactical decision making and game mechanics. While some commenters have dismissed the play as a low elo match, others have praised the attacking player's skillful execution and tactical prowess. Regardless of the differing opinions, one thing is clear - Valorant is a game that rewards strategic thinking, quick reflexes, and team coordination. We look forward to seeing more exciting plays like this one in the future!

Astra has by far the lowest pick rate out of any agent at launch. She is currently being picked significantly less than Viper and her launch pick rate is around 5 times less than Yoru.
