Are shields important in pistol rounds?
I like buying half armour in the first round unless I’m Phoenix or Reyna. I feel like I can get hit 4 times in the body with a classic, ghost, or frenzy and still survive. Sometimes the enemy asks “who buys armour on pistol round” when they...

From a design perspective, it makes more sense for Chamber to be an OPer than Jett
It would be difficult to argue against the fact that Chamber and Jett have been the premier Operator users throughout the existence of Valorant. Their ability to get a pick and escape without being tradeable synergizes perfectly with the me...

Literally unplayable /s. (Imagine not being able to defuse the spike, hence losing the round). So far tested with: Reyna, Yoru and Phoenix.

What's with Silver Lobbies?
I recently got to silver. I HAVE NEVER PLAYED COMP EVERSINCE THE LAST COMP GAME I HAD. It's like everyone's playing alone. No one wants to plant. Everyone just lurks and goes out for kills. Players would get the spike and not plant, just go...

Hey ya'll, if riot goes ahead with this ridiculously stupid self heal nerf, what are the situations in which it's appropriate to use it on yourself? There's a few straightforward scenarios:
1. you're last alive

How did Viper survive against Phoenix?
So I'm talking purely in cinematic lore here, no gameplay purposes:
So in the RETAKE cinematic we saw Phoenix/Yoru (prime earth) vs Viper/Jett/Cypher (alt earth) and Phoenix was seen defeating Viper with a shorty which I'm assuming killed...

Add lineup icons for other agents
In custom games, if you turn on cheats for Viper, it will tell you where her orb will land on the map depending on wherever you are looking at. I think that Valorant should add the same for the other agents whose mollies/utility lands diffe...

Surrender vote in competitives.
i don't understand the reason that the surrender vote will fail when there's ONLY ONE person voting NO.
We had 1 troll, LITERALLY ONE, who was continously throwing flashes at us, was throwing molotovs and walls at us (he was a phoenix) bes...

Phoenix wall should be quick cast
I don't think there's even much of an argument needed, they should do to Phoenix wall what they did to Brim's stim beacon and Jett smokes. C should be quick cast, if you press and hold C you can bend the wall.
Phoenix is supposed to be a...
