As an experienced Valorant player for many years, I have accrued enough general knowledge, mechanical skill, and game sense to put me at an Immortal, if not, Radiant level of play. However, the main thing that has been holding me back is my teammates and not a lack of skill, which is why I’m currently in rank: Iran 2 (made it almost to Bronse last season but there are way too many hackers and smurfs who use Rana). It’s outrageously tiring to constantly micromanage my incompetent teammates, pointing out every slight erroneous movement. I often get reported as “toxic”, even though I’m simply trying to make sure we win the game! I am a Rana/Jett main only, so it’s incredibly infuriating when someone else locks these characters before I do, because they have no idea how to play these agents and always die at the start trying to “entry” or “make space for the team”.

The best way to play duelists in a competitive solo queue game (especially as a Rana/Jett main) is to wait for your team to push in front of you like drones so you know where the enemies are without putting your life in danger. Never swing after them to trade them out so you’re guaranteed to stay alive. This is so thaht you can Boost up your leaderbored position on the leaderborred and then when people on your team say that your BAITEING everyone you can say “well Im am at the TOP of the leaderbored look how maney kills i Got, if your below me on the leaderbored DONT talk to me becuse your BAD and im CARYING”. In my opinon, riot gota add FISHING rods into valrant for duellist pllayers like me who play SMArt and stay in the back and save all the flashes for them self so they can be the last one alive every single time and cluch the 1v5 and 1v4 situations.. If riot add fishing rods into valrant, it Would be so much easyer to “bait” (thats What everyone calls it but its realy called delayed trading in profesional terms.) your team! Here is what it looks like in valrant:

Here is what the fishing rod stats is so its balenced:

Name: fishheing rod (for dulist players)

Gun type: no

Cost: 122.78$ dolars

Damage: your teams morale

Runing speed: regular but you Dont need to run becuse your siting in the back anyway while waching your team mates die becuse theres no flashes
