honestly, i'd love to play Valorant for once, but literally every game isn't "Valorant" it's "Which team has the better smurf" which just simply isn't the same game

look, i'm Bronze 2 maybe Bronze 3 at best. And I'm PERFECTLY okay with that, I'm not that good. But literally EVERY game in this elo you win/lose depending on which team has the 40 kill smurf. It's a bit ridiculous, I have no effect in the game because rather the enemy smurf is just 1 shot clicking heads 5 heads every round, or our team's smurf is 1 shot clicking heads every game.

The only games that are ever close are when both your teams has a smurf, at which point it's a game of who which team has the better smurf

and mathematically, the enemy team will always have a higher chance of having a smurf (because there's only 4 possibilities of the smurf being on my team whereas 5 possibilities on the enemy team

#tl;dr, i'd love to play valorant, but instead i'm just watching smurfs deleting people and winning/losing is mostly just a roll of the dice at this elo
