###Bronze

• Didn’t know what I was doing

• Just played sage bc thats what everyone told me to

• Sage got nerfed and tried other agents

• Still learning the game

###Silver

• Leaned to get body shot kills
• Flights got recommended on my yt and learned some blast pack spots
• Played with my friend who was legendary eagle in cs (I didn’t play cs prior to valorant)
• Learned to smoke with omen/brim

###Gold

• Got boosted to gold
• Thought I was hot shit
• Learned that solo queuing is a lot harder

###Back to Silver

• Realized I’m shit
• Played cs for a bit and subconsciously learned to actually peak and hold angles
• Still learning to fully use the utility
• Saw FlexNinja for outplay potential

###Gold

• At this point, I realized playing for fun rather than rank is way more enjoyable, and found way more confidence in my play and aim

• Pretty much forced into playing whatever was needed when playing as a 2 stack

• Got pretty good at Omen, Raze, Sova, and Sage

• Bought dragon skin

• Realized my aim is still dog

• Played aimlabs for a bit

• basically hard stuck gold all of act 3, but I was really focused on improving my aim and new ways to use utility

###Episode 2/End of Act 3

• Got my aim well enough to win DMs with sheriff only - high scored 27 on hard bots with Jetts knifes (Please fix the Jett knifes in the training grounds)
• My good Friend stopped playing

###Plat

• Kinda out classed everyone in terms of mechanics
• teammates are kinda hit or miss: they’d either care too much about rank and play like a pussy or have that confidence to run through teams
• Didn’t really have any close games, it was either a blow out or lose by 7 or so
• Couldn’t really hard carry on pure aim, so using utility was mainly how I climbed out of plat
• Playing as a fill Agent well allowed my teammates to play the agent they want the best they can
• Almost everyone in plat is a 1 trick which causes fills to be so inconsistent and cost games

###Diamond

• Basically all I can say is teamwork makes the dream work

Some BS tips everyone ignores

• Don’t care about rank so much, nobody cares
• If you do care about your rank that much, look for a stack because it’s not your teammates it’s you when you solo q
• Actions speak louder than words, so don’t act like an entitled prick because you’re not the best

This is probably the most important tip- DON’T PLAY A DUELIST IF YOU’RE AIMS NOT GOOD

If this gets traction I’ll make a YouTube video with clips and more BS
