Valorant is completely a mental game. I’m not talking about outsmarting the other players too, it talking about your mental state. The more happy you are and the more you believe you’ll play better, you’ll play better. Another thing, if you don’t care about the game you also play better. What I mean by that is that if you’ve ever noticed you play better in unrated or shoot better in dm than in comp, it’s because in your mind there’s nothing on the line although in comp there is. This isn’t true, you’re playing for a digital number on a screen that holds no real value; when you’re playing, remember that and act as if it’s just an unrated. This helped me greatly and as soon as I could do this consistently I got the rank that I lost this act back in a day of solo queue. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
