After 5 months of trying, I made it out from Silver to Gold! Here's what I (think I) did right.

You can not increase your reaction time. However, you CAN increase your TTK.
Hey there, I want to share something I discovered through loads of research and experimenting. I am currently Ascendant in valorant, and my goal is to get as high of a rank as possible before the end of this episode. I have an extremely wea...

People using cheats to go afk in comp?
So I was playing competitive today and there was a chamber that just played like an actual bot. Not someone who was bad at the game, like an actual AI bot. He repeated the same movements every round, placing util in the same spots, aiming t...

Tips on very shakey aim?
I play on 400dpi 0.14 to counter my really shakey aim, problem is sometimes I get tired with all the movement I use in my arm to turn, any tips on improving aim and crosshairplacement on higher dpi/sens?

fy_iceworld in VALORANT
I guess most of you (at least coming from CS world) understand what I mean by that title. It'd be very cool, if Riot has introduced couple of small maps for custom games only, where maps are made just to shoot each other in quick fashion....

Will there ever be a sentinel with flashes?
I got curious if this is ever possible. Because some of the utilities of sentinels are usually weaker versions of other roles' utility.
Cypher has cylindrical smokes. KJ has a molly. Cypher and KJ have cams and turrets that can recon. Cham...

Some Cypher ideas!
Hello all!
I'm gonna hop on the Cypher buffs bandwagon since I feel like I can bring a bit more than just "Make cage longer" or "give cam gun back".
First of all, what is Cypher's main role, not as in him being a sentinel, but what niche...

How should I approach strafe duels?
In DM I keep getting destroyed because I just keep aiming to where the opponent's head was a fraction of a second ago, and by that time they've already strafed to another location and can predict where I'm going to be before I can predict t...

Strafing issues in game
I am noticing that my strafing is delayed. I’m currently on a tofu65 with black inks, my pc is optimized and all and everything is working perfect. Im wondering if a gaming keyboard will fix this issue. The issue in question is, for example...

What is one thing that could make VALORANT better?
I've recently been bouncing between Val and CSGO just having fun in both games and enjoying the different playstyles. When playing CS I noticed how much more difficult it felt aiming and shooting at enemies strictly because of the movement...

What’s the right way to strafe and shoot
So for what I’ve seen on youtube and all, there’re two methods to do strafe and shoot.
1. Press A to move-> release a -> burst-> press d
2. Press A -> release a then press and keep holding d to move-> shoot when your momentum is 0.
In mo...

The state of DM - not a complaint about spawns or timers, but about spineless gamers
I'm a whore for DM. I've put more hours into it since I started back in Episode 2. I have it alone to thank for my blessed aim that's carried me to high MMR where my brain is mid at best.
That being said, regardless of changes to DM itself...

A New Cypher
Each and every one of us know the stats. We've heard the truth time and again, and we've played long enough to corroborate it. Cypher is the least played agent in the game. And while every game will always have a "least used/played" (thing)...

movement controls should be unpressed when going out of a drone/dog
What I'm referring to is when you drone next to a corner for maximum distance and it gets destroyed while your pressing W, you end up stepping out into the open. All movement keys should need to get pressed again to move after a drone/dog.
