I've only played for 50 hours, but has the ranked matchmaking always been this bad?
I'm in Silver 3 and I'm a mediocre new player. One match I'm top of the leaderboard and MVP, the very next match I can't even get 2 kills and we get stomped 13-1. Sometimes I get put on winning streaks where my team just deletes everything,...

Riot should solve teaming in this game.
I was in a ranked match and our stupid Astra rushed the first 3 rounds and died first. I tried to explain that she doesn't need to rush but she did nothing. When the enemy team saw that Astra had nice skins, they started to talk to her in c...

Isn't the 2022 ion skin reveal teasing the come back of split ?
So I simply watched "the new era" (2022 ion skin teaser) and I saw that the entire clip is in split, so do you think that could mean split will be in the ranked map pool for the new act ?

Did I do this sage wall wrong in fracture?
On A site in Fracture there’s a top platform with stairs that lead to the floor. On the floor in the corner my teammate planted the spike and I walled it off diagonally so it was pretty much impossible to get to since the platform is blocki...

I ranked from Bronze 1 to Plat 1 in less than an episode. AMA!
I was stuck in Bronze for forever so I hope I can provide any helpful insights. I know it’s not a huge jump but it’s surely something

Morning ranked matches in NA are always vs 150 ping eu smurfs and it's unfun
I am diamond/ascendant , and when I queue in the morning it's always a 3 stack EU players smurfing on 150 ping against me. They have insane peekers advantage, they do strats together , or I just die around the corner. They clearly don't be...

Obsession with ranking up
**1. There is a misconception between doing well in DM and doing poorly in ranked.**
DM is more or less a thoughtless aim duel battleground. So certain players are going to thrive, and others are going to be gasping for breath as they die...

Playing Valorant With Hearing Loss
I recently started playing Valorant with my friends, and I'm currently level 17. It's been very fun, and I've been playing frequently. However, the first game I played was startling, as hearing is a big factor in Valorant. I ended up gettin...

Why does it feel like the skill level of my lobbies vary so wildly?
I’m a relatively new player who is still in the process of levelling my account so this is mostly for unranked, but why does it feel like sometimes I’m playing with other similarly skilled players and can contribute to the team, but then th...

Best agent to support my below average aim?
I like the game and would like to play ranked to see how far I can go. The problem is, it seems like a lot of people have much better aim than I do. Now, I am all about improving my aim and all that, but I don't want to sit in front of my c...

Forfeiting in unrated, does it need changing?
Want to discuss this with the community. I have been taking a bit of a break this week from ranked because I wasnt performing well, and I have been playing unrated instead. It seems like 95% of the games end in forfeits within the first 5-1...
