i’m primarily a league player, but i wanted to give valorant a shot as well and so far im loving it. im very very bad, i do win most games actually but i dont think i contribute to most rounds. i die a lot and most of my shots are body shots, but it’s fine i guess - i never played many shooters and mechanics can be worked on (im only lv15). i like playing sage and kayo, and im gonna unlock viper soon.

i asked a friend if i should play ranked the moment i get to 20, and he said yes, and that rank doesnt matter as much as getting fair games. my league addict brain likes imaginary points but i fear it might frustrate me being iron or bronze. so idk. is there any benefit to playing ranked off the jump?
