Rank Placement?
For the past two acts, I've been gold/plat and I've been placed in bronze 3.... yay. I won four out of my five placement games and well, top fragged in four of those. Bit confused....

Tips for iron-silver players that worked for me...
Firstly, of course this advice won't work for anyone, but after being stuck in silver for months, following multiple youtube guides, I think I drastically improved my aim in a week and have moved up to gold, heading to plat. I was kinda sho...

Kinda wish we had "defuse the spike" simulators but for the actual sites on the maps.
Best thing we could hope for would be retake servers like in CS, but having bots in custom games for the actual maps would be way more practical than what we have in the training range. As of now, all we have is people getting creative with...

What fingers do you use to hold the WASD keys/Ability keys in VALORANT?
I know this sounds like an odd question but it's not something I see talked about a lot. As the title says, what fingers do you use for movement and abilities? (For abilities just refer to the default binded ones, C/Q/E/X).
I'm not only as...

Games should be fun, if nothing else.
Today I played rank for the first time. I play from South africa so my ping is scary high and I was afraid that my team mates would shun me for being slower to react. Instead I made 3 new friends and all three followed my stream, joined dis...

Things I’ve Noticed as a Cypher Main (Positives/Negatives/General Comments/Advice for Cyphers & Teammates)
1. Cypher is depressingly under appreciated in ranked. Considering 90% of Cypher’s value doesn’t show up on the scoreboard, and his in-game benefits are not blatantly visible to teammates as they would be for example: a Sage Res/Heal or KJ...

This Post plant meta.. Is just overused at this point. Does anyone actually enjoy it? Curious.
I don't blame you KJ/Viper/Brim/Sova mains one bit. Post plant has been meta for quite awhile, Even in beta it was being used to a degree. You are grinding, learning lineups and they give you the best post plant percentage to win. I get it,...

Has there been any of you (or have you ever heard of a person) who used to be a noob in Valorant (or CSGO, or similar shooters).

Qucik tip if you aim better with sherrif or guardian than vandal or phantom
So i have seen, no videos not even a single one covering anticpating recoil which is why i have extremely good crosshair placement but still hit body shots.
My friend told me this a few days ago i checked my 1v1s and saw that i did this al...

Is crouch peeking a good idea in certain situations?
Ofc this wont work if ur against an op
What i mean is that crosshair placement is always advised to be around the head, so if you crouch peek youll have the upper hand right? I think this wont work in low elo tho cuz body shots

Reporting you for throwing...and other fun comments for a new old-man player!
So I'm 43 years old and although I played UT2004 decades ago (and a smattering of TF2 here and there) I am very, very new to the modern FPS. Playing Valorant has been... rough. The learning curve has been incredibly steep and although I'm i...

Idea: make Yoru's teleport animation instant/near-instant if he is in direct LOS with his Gatecrash
i think this would be a good way to give Yoru a nice buff that forces players to be smarter regarding both the placement of the Gatecrash as well as their positioning around it, if they want to maximize his potential.
re-equip time coming...
