Everyone's so good
In Act 2, I was a plat 1, almost ranked up to plat 2 and consistently top-3rd fragging and started from silver 2. Since the new act, everyone's been destroying me, and my gunplay feels so... different. It feels like im 500ms behind the game...

Idea: Add a separate queue for backfill/replacement play
Let me give you a situation: You're in a competitive match when your Cypher leaves the game. Someone that hasn't started a game yet could queue up for backfill/replacement for your Cypher, but they have to play as Cypher.
If thi...

New Ranked Restrictions Killed My Team :( Our situation and possible suggestions.
I've been playing Valorant since release, mostly with a group of friends that I used to play WoW with. There are 6 of us in total. We're generally able to get a group of 4-5 every time we play -- most of the time we won't even play unless w...

From COD to Valorant.
My whole life I played cod and was damn good on console. Valorant is my first game with mouse and keyboard and I’m really just using a laptop to play. I like this tactical shooter style way more than the crack cocaine 4 Red Bull’s and an ad...

I made it to Immortal from Gold

Since I filled it out it starts at Gold 2, but I believe I either started in Silver 3 or Gold 1.
All I'm going to say is that you really don't need much to do really good in this game, i...

[help] GF's aim is great, movement non existent
Recently built the GF a pc purely for valorant. Surprisingly, her aim is incredible for a first timer, getting 29/30 or 30/30 in the range on medium difficulty, 10 consistent on hard. This is all on day 1 of pc gaming.
Kind of pisses me of...

A CHANGE FOR THE COMPETITIVE RANKING SYSTEM - Probability Promotion System
**The Ranked System Is Broken.**
We all know this. We have played games which *should* have been a 1 arrow in either direction, but end up being 3. We have felt the frustration, and we have tilted over being hardstuck. We need a ranking sy...

from your experience what is the best tips you could give to someone trying to get out of iron and bronze?
I've been playing valorant for a few months and been stuck in iron to bronze. I've played many team based shooters and never been a really low rank other than valorant.
I have definitely improved in Crosshair placement, Aiming, and using...

Matched with Immortals in a Silver Competitive game...
We could barely win a single round. The worst part is that they trash talked us the whole game. They said they couldn't win in immortals so they threw their placements so they could crap on the lower ranks. When we asked why they thought th...

30 days of Aim Lab results + montage
**TLDR:** Any warmup routine is better than none. Gridshot indirectly improved my aim by making mouse movement more comfortable.
After a long break, I got back into Valorant and decided that I would start warming up with Aim Lab before I...

Yeah, I know it's not much, but I was able to work my way from my placement in Iron 2 to Gold 1 in less than two weeks!
Got placed in Iron 2 because this game has a totally accurate and functional MMR system with absolutely no flaws, and instantly decided to grind until I never had to see another Iron player in my life

Playing Deathmatch With Sound Off
Okay, I’m curious. Every now and then I like to play deathmatch with my volume off. I feel like it allows me to focus purely on crosshair placement and reaction time when seeing an enemy. I obviously don’t do it all the time, but it’s a nic...

The Most Common Aim Mistake and How to Fix It (especially in lower ranks)
I've seen a lot of posts asking how to get better aim in Valorant, so I figured that I'd make a post about it. A common topic on this subreddit is advice on how to hold angles, and I think it's tied to a larger issue.

I’ve had 4 teammates DC In my past 6 games.
Actually absurd how many people leave. I finished last act in Gold 3 but during my placements I lost so I put me in silver 2 and now I’m in silver 1 on the brink of being in bronze. Idk what to do. 3 out of those 4 times are people leaving...
