Riot should add the spike plant/defuse practice scenarios on the actual maps. Thoughts?
I love those practice scenarios in the range to get my mindset right, clearing corners, and sharpening my cross hair placement before games. However, they become dull, repetitive and predictable after a few runs. It would be amazing if riot...

For beginners looking to improve: there are a ton of guides from CSGO that can directly apply to Valorant.
If you're looking to improve and don't know where to start, chances are your first instinct is to search up on youtube "Valorant tips and tricks" or "Valorant beginner guides."
While some videos there might be useful, it's just flooded wit...

Please for the love of god, add Headshot Deathmatch to Valorant.
What a lot of people do in deathmatch is completely and utterly useless to them:
every time they see an enemy they default to panic crouching and spraying in the body.
And since they get some kills like this, they think it's the way to g...

The [Anecdotal] Evidence for Aiming being 50-95% Mental.
The better your aim is, the higher the impact mental has on your aim/consistency. At the top of the pro level, with aimers like ScreaM, TenZ, Aproto, I would make an uneducated guess that aim is somewhere from 75-90% mental. Your confidence...

If you’re getting boosted at least learn from it
Let’s be honest. Boosting will never be truly eliminated from ranked queue. There will always be a cracked diamond + jett or reyna carrying their friends.
Time and time again, I see players taking a back seat and making the same mistakes...

Ranked Reset?
Two acts ago I was plat 3 when the season ended. I didn't play at all last act.
This act comes along, I win 4/5 placements, mvp in all 4 of the wins, and then place silver 1. Is there something I'm missing that happened behind the scenes?

What was your rank your first placement games?
Hi there, a new Valorant player here.
I was wondering, at what rank did you get placed after your first placement games?
I'm curious to see your answers!

Purpose of smokes on defense
I recognize this is a pretty newbie question to ask (which makes sense since I'm new to FPS games), but I wonder if people can give me their thoughts on what the purpose of smokes are on defense. I've got a reasonable idea of what they're f...

Random Yoru buff ideas
Riot said Yoru buffs are delayed indefinitely, so maybe they're back to the drawing board. I've been playing Yoru pretty much exclusively for awhile now so here are some ideas that could make him stronger.

What the point of Reporting when the only way the report system actually works is when someone uses slurs?
Title says it. I have a Kayo Dropping 6-24... Playing in a Diamon ELO. With some BIG ass cross hair that you can't see past, Blows into his mic like its some Nintendo 64 game. Throws RANDOM ass flashes and gets him teamates caught in mollie...
