My (17F) boyfriend (16M) gets super upset after we play Valorant because he pretty much always bottom frags when we play together. He doesn't rage he just gets very sad to the point where he says very self destructive things about himself while playing and it pretty much ruins his day. I've decided to take the route of trying to help him improve rather than helping him be content with bottom fragging. since making him better solves the problem of him feeling bad not being that good and also makes him good. while helping him feel better about his skill level only does just that. but I have worked with him pretty much everyday to help him work on his mechanics (crosshair placement, movement, peeking and game sense) He is a Iron 2 and I'm a Silver 2 btw.

the thing that is crazy is that I cant really pin point what exactly he is doing wrong. from spectating him I've seen that he has good crosshair placement and checks literally EVERY angle when he is clearing a site and a lot of time the enemies will walk into his crosshair for an easy kill, He's pretty good with Sage and heals almost every round. sometimes he even does things I didn't teach him to do like putting a sage wall in front of the spike or fake rotating to the other site. but a lot of the time all of this ends in him getting instantly head shotted when he gets in an aim battle with someone.

Some more info: He got Iron 1 when we first played comp but solo queued for a while and worked his way up to Iron 2. Has been playing for 5 or 6 months, he pretty much exclusively plays Sage and plays a more laid back supportive play style. Buys a wall and uses classic in pistol rounds. Uses Bulldogs on full buys because he likes how accurate it is on ADS. Does PREMS and a DM before we play. His last 5 KDA's: 10/9, 8/6, 12/10, 9/9, 9/12
