After a Match, let me inspect all those who played it.
I would like to be able to inspect my and the enemy's team when the match is over or even who I have played against on deathmatch - I can see at least their current rank (not all the matches they have played and so on).
I think it is good...

AI bots should be introduced in custom games.
It would be good if AI bots are added in custom games so that rookies can practice the angles and crosshair placements in different maps. It would also helps in improvising our headshots, and our movement across the maps. Also the bots can...

On my main account I'm currently d1, and the plat and diamond teammates skill level is very inconsistent to their rank, a diamond 3 could be playing like a gold with the worst crosshair placement I've seen, a plat 2 could carry my ass and e...

Unrated matches should NOT affect placement elo as much as they do, and here's why
When we first make a new account, it is known that your unrated games do lead to how Valorant decides your skill level for competitive.
While this makes some sense, as Valorant has to determine your skill level before you do your placement...

Is there a Big Smurfing problem in Valorant
I am Iron 1 and I can't believe that some of the players at my rank don't know how to shift walk or have any crosshair placement don't know that this is not a game where you are supposed to stop and shoot.

When the next act begins, will I start at my last rank, or my act rank?
After every act you play some placement matches. Do you begin at your act rank after the act ends? Like, if my act triangle is diamond 2 but my current rank is plat 3, will I begin my palcements at plat 3 or diamond 2?
Thanks!

I’m losing every peek/hold fight. I’ve watched a bunch of videos on different kinds of peeking and angle holding but I’m still trash and getting one tapped.
My pre crosshair placement is always on their head. I stay far from the corner so they can’t see me first. Sometimes I’ll jiggle peek or shoulder peek. I’ll take tight and wide angles when holding. But I’m still losing every time. Is there...
