I started Valorant January 1 , 2021 . As i was new i was trash at the game. I Reached Silver 2 in 1 week and then got hardstuck.My teammates will go afk/throw/make radiant level plays in silver lobby,i lost all hope to play the game,i came across some reddit post comment which said"if you wanna win , you gotta hard carry , dont Expect anything from your teammates". i felt that,i started going through YouTube videos for basics to work on them from scratch , i came across a youtuber named "bumpaah" , he had a great video about crosshair placement and movement. That helped me a lot.I kept on improving and improving and got hardstuck again at gold 2 , where i acutally felt the -30s and +18s, i was demotivated again ,i would win a game and then lose the next and this just kept going on , I was omen main all this time,Then I saw a video of which agent is best for your playstyle and i realised i like to play aggressive and then i came across the best agent in the game "Reyna".I played a little bad as i didn't knew how reyna worked, soon i got a hang of her and guess what i started getting multiple match MVPs as reyna suited best for my playstyle and i was performing well, i would just go take fights as much as i could , it worked till i reached plat 2 , i was harstuck again now for an entire act, now i didn't lose hope as all i needed to do was improve and improve,i knew now i cant just go aggresive and take all favorable/unfavorable duels , so i worked on game sense, positioning , and i found myself doing big brain plays soon enough. Well i reached Diamond 1 this way. Since i was playing better and winning more games my hidden mmr was also fixed , i lose 16-19 while gain 18-22 now.

The best way to improve is to play the game not spend countless hours on aimtrainers. Communication is the key to win if you cant hard carry.

I play on a 60hz monitor with 60fps capped. I have 386 hours in the game

Thank You
