If you’ve been on this subreddit as much as I have, you’ve definitely seen the bombardment of posts that can be multiple paragraphs long that essentially boil down to: “I’m bad at the game right now, and I know it’s not my fault!!” I don’t mean for this post to come off as whiny, but it’s honestly annoying me at this point. Half of their arguments are just “I’m good at CSGO, so it’s riots fault I’m underperforming!”
The longer you play a game, the more structured your habits become. When you’re playing worse in a game you’ve played a lot, you can fall back on your muscle memory and habits, whereas you have to stay mentally alert when playing a new game.
I don’t think these guys get that...
Inconsistency isn’t ALWAYS the games fault, and more likely it stems from mental strain from long games of bad vibes.
I’m not dismissing the server issues or hit registration or the advantage of 4-5 stacks, but too many people vent about this instead of learning by themselves how to become consistant.
The other team changes every game, so your play style has to as well.
If you take anything from this post, just remember to think twice about upvoting vent posts to represent your current anger and hunger for excuses.
Thanks guys, bye!

Does valorant put you in a lobby with much better players suddenly after you start playing good?
