For some reason I've gotten a timer for over 119 hours to be able to play competitive. I've never played it. I can play unranked just fine. Why is that?

Had the pleasure of playing this chaotic mess today. Maybe I'm just not used to playing with these Agents, but it was very confusing trying to figure out whose team their abilities were intended for...

I play in Paris server but I only know A1 level French and I want to learn some Valorant specific language to communicate with people and improve my French. Thanks in advance.
