I'm in my mid 30s and I installed Valorant April 2021 when I saw an ad in youtube and got hit by nostalgia. I last played FPS almost 20 years ago when the first version of CS was released up to v1.3.

After 180 hours (unrated and competitive matches combined) playing Valorant Solo Q, I've only managed to peak Silver 3, now I'm silver 2. At the moment I have garbage reflexes, subpar aim and movement mechanics, but I'm proud that I can hold my own by just maintaining a positive mindset and promoting open and effective comms - regardless of how f'd up the situation is (only mute if abuse were made to anything regarding race, religion, gender, family.) - basically the same thing I would do if I want to be a better person.

Flexing my last comp win using using Sage. I still think that not everything in low elo is about getting lucky with matchmaking and using current rank and HS% as important stats that reflect a person's skill.
