Glitch Where I Can See the Enemy Sova
So I was in a competitive game with my friends and at about round 5 I noticed that I could see their Sova on the map. At first I didn't really think much of it because I thought that it was a glitch. About 2 rounds later my friend was near...

People more annoying than instalocking duelists.
For me, instalocking duelists in agent selection are annoying asf. Especially when they don't entry as well.
But today I discovered something even worse than this.
Just imagine the following situation: you're in a competitive game discussin...

So are we just ignoring Chamber's pick rate?
This character has been in every single game I've played this act (I actually went back and looked - Immortal). He has a pick rate of 40% in competitive in the last month. The next highest is Jett, with 27%. Meanwhile, Fade is down at 14%,...

Inconsistency with the shooting mechanics
I think this might be jumping the gun without the proof ready but I'm compiling videos of how the aim in Valorant is much more randomized than we are thought to believe. I've seen first shots out of the vandal from other players crouched an...

Fast-paced 1v4 clutch with ghost on Bind
Had one of my best highlights plays last night and thought I'd share!
Shame it's only spike rush though. D2 in OCE but not playing much competitive anymore.

Why do I play terribly sometims but then play really well other times and only in competitive?
So I have noticed that whenever I play competitive I either play like a total AI where I can't hit any of my shots I'm pushing everywhere and winning like 5 percent of the engagements and then other times (could literally be the next game)...

Competitive queue disabled?
I'm in EU West (timezone CEST), and I can't queue ranked. The act rank tab says that the queue should be disabled starting March 8th at 1am (in about 2h) but it's already disabled
Very annoying because I needed only one more game to get my...

Val is great, but it needs several key changes to become top tier, and a staple FPS game. Discussion.
Now, I'm not one for making posts usually, but valorant is lacking some very crucial quality of life features, as well as general gameplay features. I love the game, but constructive criticism is a great thing that only serves to make anyth...

Thought my friend might be hacking -- turned out to be right.
Hey, everyone.
As the title states, a few friends and I played competitive together. We played for a total of five games, but around the fourth or fifth game, one of my friends was making odd callouts; while planting, he told me the enemy...

Opinions on "sheriff only", "shotguns only", etc?
What do you guys think about players who've been doing "challenges", especially in competitive? Like sheriff only or something like that.
Just wanna hear people's opinions so yeah; do you think they're the reason you can't climb, are they...

How to defend effectively? (See description)
I don't play a lot of Competitive but from the 7 games I've played this Act, I can see that I'm clearly losing lots of defensive rounds:

0 RR gained from competitive match?
I recently have gotten into a groove in comp, and have been climbing ranks. Recently though with one of my matches on Ascent, I didn't gain any RR from a competitive win. Is there any reason for this? It would have boosted me up and made it...

Why are the "top .1%" of Valorant players so bad?
I've been middling immortal peaking at radiant infrequently for the past few acts.
As someone who's played tons of different competitive games, (CS, league, OW, dota, etc) this is the only game where I notice players at the top of the rank...
