Greetings, I'm silver 2 and couldn't sleep so went to twitch and opened Valorant page with 0 viewers. I entered their stream one by one (only English ones) and asked them one question "hi, how to rank up to Gold?"

So, most of them said "I don't know, bro, I'm not even gold" And even Plat/Diamond/Immortals said the same. They don't know, it appears that they just play and rank up :D

Here some common answers:

1. Work on aim. You can outplay them with better aim
2. Good crosshair placement
3. Communicate with your team, combo abilities, but do not blame and rage, if you do so, unbind micro key
4. Buy kovaak's
5. Just play more
6. Learn counter strafing
7. Play with 4 people who will carry you
8. Just shoot, if you're lucky - you kill, if not - you die
9. I don't know
10. Watch pro players

So, most of the immortals that I've watched mention their rank in Stream description and they came from CS:GO, RS6 and other Shooters. They can't properly say, which implies that just 5-6k hours will give you immortal.

This was kinda fun, coz sometimes i feel like they're dying in gunfight coz they talking to me. Some of them even muted teammates and were talking to me. Some people didn't even read the chat, some of them were talking through loud music. I didn't get anything very helpful, just confirmed my knowledge about being better in game. One thing i might do after this - watching how pros play.

Regards
