Hey there,I'm a 24 years old french guy who love tactical shooter (sorry for the grammar mistakes)Played a lot of Valorant/cs go (immo since the beta and faceit lvl10)

Since we have to duo/solo queue in competitive, i've lost interest in the gameI played it less and less, but few months i took some notes and there is the result.

TD:DR : CONCLUSION :I'm not a pro, i'm just an average good SOLO/DUO queue player, the stats i've showed are just stats and there is my (and my friends + some streamers) opinion.

This game is made to be played on a 5v5 games. Sure you can play solos and duos if you want to but to be honest, it's NOT THE SAME GAME, the same experience. If you play solos/duos only, you're playing on the half of the games, there is a lot of team things that you can NOT do in solo/duos.
+ asking friends and watching streams, most (almost everyone) people does NOT enjoy solos/duos.

Sure there is the boosting problem, the "seeing the true rank" but people (sorry devs ^^) who thinks that the true rank is shown on a solo/duo queue : Does not understand how the game works (on the high lvl).The solo vs 5 stacks problem : 5stacks queue only solutionThe 5v5 will resolve the toxicity problem, the instant lock problem.The "play unrated then" mmmmh yep, people are not try harding unrated

I know, you (devs) said that you're working on it. But we (players) are in the dark, you said no ETA on it. OK but, is the 5v5 queue a priority for some devs? how long do you think we'll have to wait (weeks/month/year/years)? Will you still be focus on the solos/duos ranks? Is valorant made to be a solo/duos tactical shooter? etc etc?I think we need some clarification about this, to still be attracted by the games, there'is a lot playing duos/solos just to wait the 5 stacks queue. I'm playing less and less since every update i'm hoping for 5v5 informations.

I hope this thread will make things progressand i invite everyone to do the same thing to share how good or bad your experience is.

TD:DR : stats

• Instant locking is too present: in the game : 90% of 63 games with minimum 1 instant lock: Reyna locked at 62% (83%) (game with min 1 instant lock): Jett locked at 25% (64 %) (game with min 1 instant lock): Raze locked a 47% (34%) (game with min 1 instant lock)
• Toxicity is way too high too : 73% of 63 games with minimum 1 toxic guy: 100 toxic guy met in 63 games: 50 people who didn't speak once: 28 games where there is at least 1 guy who doesn't speak (44%)
• Qualities of games : average mark : 9.46/20: 32 games out of 63 with a mark < 10/20

THE STATS

I've played 63 games in 2 acts, there is the notesI've note if i did solos/duos the W/L, the score, the difference (ecart), the map, the rank variance (1 = the same rank for everyone, 2 = (for exemple : immo and d3), the Number of instant lock (lock without asking before 60 seconds remaining and i've noted the instant locked agent

I also notedVoice banned or "did not speak", I note on what round the first toxicity appeared (first insult/afk or troll) and i noted when i was toxic (shit happens ^^)ps : GC means Good com

I did also a scale to mark the gameThe game starts with 20 points, if they're is someone instant locking, the game takes -2 etcInstant lock is locking without asking before there is 60 seconds remaining. so you can have 0 instant lock if everyone picking we're there is less than 60 seconds remainingAnd if everyone asking "what do you want to play etc", it's -0

the next scale is the voice/ban/muted guys

I started doing this before the patch note, however i counted if there is a teamate you doesn't speak

The third one is the "when the first toxicity appeared"

If it appeared before the sixth round, the game take -5 etc etc you got this

The last one is

I also added a Personnal note : a note i wrote just after the game with no scale, just my feeling after the game.So the games has 20 points and for each of this problem, the game drops down,I know that it's not perfect, if i could go to the past to change the scale, I certainly would buuuut it would take to long.

SO :

There is a part of my boardI did 63 recorded games most of it, i filled, sometimes i instant lock (less than 10%) and sometimes a was toxic too (less than 5%)

​

I had 28/63 games where there is at least 1 guy who did not speakI had 100 toxic people (sometimes me too) (1.59toxic guy per game)I had 46/63 games with at least 1 toxic (73%)

The average game mark is 9.46/20My average personnal game mark is 8.92/20

I also noted the agent i had to took to fill and my score but it's not revelant here i think

Just go up if you want to see the conclusion !

see you soon guys ;)
