How I stopped whiffing so much
Ok, I am reading this book where a brain performance expert talks about the challenges that athletes and others may have when it matters the most. It has actually helped my performance in VALORANT.
In the book they address the biggest rea...

People don't understand the importance of support.
Hello.
I am skybellrock and I got to immortal last act. I'm making this post because I am seeing that a lot of the community don't understand the importance of teammates that play support roles.
A lot of players, but more so people that m...

Aim Tip: You can also “aim” with your movement keys (A/D)
I am a diamond player who has been playing valorant since release. I started at iron 1 and climbed all the way to diamond 2.
I haven’t seen this tip anywhere. Most people think about cross hair placement, counter strafe and raw aim/flicks...

Random Phoenix Buff I thought of
This is random and might be over the place so let's just get this overwith.
Ult:
Increase duration and/or add a movement speed buff. Better entry potential.
Make the ult indicator like a Yoru Gatecrash. Can only be seen when close.
Wh...

Why does it feel like enemies are just inhumanly fast?
When I walk around and peek on my screen, the movement speed feels pretty slow. I'm always scared to wide swing because it feels like the enemy has like 3 solid seconds of me running across their screen to react.
However when I get swung o...

Thoughts on Neon --> Plat 2++ ELO
So, I've been playing Neon quite a bit in the Plat ELO range. I just came back to VALORANT about a month ago, so I'm still getting back in the swing of things. Last I played was back in Episode 1 Act 3 where I was Plat 2.
I have a long his...

My performance dropped a lot on my new setup.
I got a new mechanic keyboard yesterday(used membrane until then) and also got a new chair and I feel like I'm playing a whole new game.
How long will it take me to get used to this new setup, I feel like returning my stuff as I can't even...

Every agent goes to hell?
So Sage's revive is a movement where her hand is swished upwards, similar to earth-bending.
On that basis, we can see Sage lifts everybody's spirit going towards hell or from under the earth.
Discuss.

My advice to new sentinel players. Please add to it if you think I missed something
Sentinels, as defined by Riot, are defensive experts that have abilities that manipulate the battlefield, lock-down areas of contention, and provide utility such as healing.
The main responsibility of a Sentinel player is to NOT LOSE the r...

Deadzone and tagging are too forgiving in VALORANT and contribute hand-in-hand to the run-and-gun problem
Why is bullet tagging a flat percentage? There is no reason that I should be as slowed when shot by a Classic than with an Odin.
Also, I feel like this slowing affect contributes to the run-and-gun problem. The amount of times where someon...

A list of ideas for a Phoenix rework/buff
Now that Yoru's got his rework, maybe Riot can focus on our poor boy Phoenix who's just been left behind in the ashes with new powercreeped duelists and unique characteristics. Below this is a short list of potential Phoenix buffs I figure...

I went from silver 2 to plat 2 in 2 weeks. I have a 70% win rate
This is what I learned that helped me rank up:
•Aim: having super good aim is not everything. I learned that you also have good movement. Try doing small strafe movements while bursting. It makes it so that the enemies have a harder time t...
