True Skill 2 Is a Potential Problem
The current Valorant ranking system was a product of where I and many friends came from.
I personally come from the OG days of online gaming from "the golden days" of Halo 3 on Xbox 360. I have more hours in competitive Halo than most pla...

I feel like I'm ruining the game for my teams
I play this game infrequently (usually just my placements plus some extra) but I decided that I actually wanted to commit time towards learning and playing the game. I'm not sure why, but I've been placed in platinum 2 and my lobbies are fu...

Diamond struggling to carry low level games
I'm hardstuck diamond 2 (london) and I'm working on improving from this point. However playing unrank with friends I noticed that I can't carry any lobbies. I had more 1v3, 1v4, 1v5 clutches in my diamond games than I ever did in unrank. I...

Gold is more difficult than diamond
Idk how they play so well and still stuck in gold, situation might be worse the lower we go in ranks.

Matchmaking is wild

This was an unrated game I played yesterday. I know Riot's games are famous for having their secret mmrs and in the end it did make sense because we lost the game 13-12....

Just reached Immo for the 1st time, this is my experience
Hey there! I just wanted to share my experience on this journey.
First of all, I wasn't new to FPS games, I used to play CSGO, and some random games like Apex and OW, played just for fun. Didn't quite rank that high on those. So I gave Val...

Hard stuck Gold, Sped through Plat, now Diamond 1 w/light shield strategy. AMA
DISCLAIMER: THE TITLE IS MISLEADING, GOT TO DIAMOND WHILE USING STRAT, NOT "THIS STRAT GOT ME TO DIAMOND". If you thought I got to diamond BECAUSE of the strat, I'm sorry, but that was not the only factor and you can move on from this pos...

Is it me or are people more toxic on Sundays/Weekend?
I was playing ranked all week. On Friday I played 6 games and each one I had fantastic teammates with little to no toxicity and brilliant comms, I log on Sunday 3pm, I queue for ranked and I get at least two instalockers every game, less mi...

Anyone ever realize why some games they top frag and others they bottom frag? (Diamond 2)
Crazy to me. Must be just the playstyle of the other team just happens to work in your favor or not? Want to see if anyone has any advice on this. For context I'm Diamond 2.

Ex-Radiant from 2020, curious to understand about how this game changed
Referring from the title, I was formerly a radiant ar some point in 2020 that got hooked from CSGO. I recently came back and was surprised to see how much has changed gameplsy wise through maps and general playstyle. I can barely best those...

Simple Strategy Made my Mechanical Skill Better Within a Week
I have always had pretty mediocre aim and have been able to climb up to high-diamond mostly on my gamesense and utility usage. However, I had plateaued due to my inability to consistently win my 1v1’s so I wanted to focus on my mechanical s...

Finally hit diamond!
After placing Iron 3 nearly two years ago, I’ve finally completed my slow climb up to diamond. This may not be a big achievement for some but this was my goal since starting Valorant, which is my first PC game ever. I did this flexing mostl...

Adding SMS verification to play Comp
Pretty much the title. I feel like because it’s free to make an account there aren’t any consequences for people that want to abuse the system to play comp (5 stacking, with 4 accounts being low elo/mmr). Especially since they’re getting ri...
