Valorant Matchmaking is (NOT) Balanced
I truly hope this post does not get deleted since I'm no expert in Matchmaking algorythms and whatnot. What I'm about to say is my experience in the game. However I'm sure that **MANY** players have experience the same, because it just hap...

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...

Remember that this is the last act of an episode, ranked will be bad for a bit
End of an act = people start trying less because in the next act they won't be too far from what they end in after placement
End of an episode = "rank reset" soon, there is even less of a reason to try
Comp match qualities will not be as...

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...

This feels surreal. I reached my first major goal in Valorant- reached Platinum!
I don't have a lot of places to geek out about this so here goes-
I stopped gaming 6 years ago due to financial reasons. I used to be a MGE in CS:GO, and that was it.
4 months ago, I finally built my first gaming PC ever with my own money...

Do you guys believe these youtubers with titles like "I solo queued from silver to radiant in two months"?
Watching a lot of educational content, it seems like there are multiple people who went from silver/gold all the way up to radiant in a very short amount of time, which they cite to improve their credibility. But if anything it just makes m...

What rank did you place and what was your rank at the end of episode 4?
