I’ll try to keep this short but could end up as a rant.. sorry!

I am a 25 year old that grew up playing consoles and simply HATED FPS games. Seemed like COD was the only option and I was terrible at the mindless running and gunning bullshit… and then came my first PC game, Valorant!

Out of my friend group, I picked up the game the quickest but was still placed in Iron 1. After many hours of cursing, table bangs and late night grinds I finally made noticeable progress. For a while, I never soloed queued because I wanted to play with friends only to avoid the toxic culture. I may be a grown man, but a 12 year old over the mic telling you how much you suck REALLY tilts me (something I need to work on).

This season, I wanted to break away from my friends and really see how far I could go. Starting this season, I was a Bronze 2 and skyrocketed through solo queues all the way up to Gold 2 and I am not slowing down. This season, I am 57W/35L with a KDA of 1.82! I may not pop the 25-30 kills a game but I really try to be the best damn Astra or KJ FOR THE TEAM.

Valorant may be a video game, but I get people want to compete! Keep playing no matter how bad you think you are. Learn from mistakes and be a TEAMMATE. Kills are fun but in this game, they are simply overrated.

Look me up sometime if you want to laugh how long it took me to get out of the noob level, or maybe play some matches!
