Loving ranked
Since the episode started I've been placed in these type of lobbies (I started at silver 1), and its funny but frustrating at the same time

Is viper now good on everymap ?
It's no surprise that viper has become a meta either ranked or pro scene. But is she good on everymap or is there an exception ? What do you guys think ?

What would your rank be if Riot decides to split ranked into solo queue rank and party rank (playing with 2 or more people)
I only play solo queue ranked because friends don't play valo lmao
Solo queue rank right now is b3
If i play with a stack probably silver or gold (hoping lmao)

Require new accounts to be at least Level 25 or 30 to play ranked
I am in Gold 2 right now and the amount of Jett/Reyna smurfs I encounter on other teams is ridiculous. 100% of the time they are below level 15, which is a huge red flag. I will go to their [tracker.gg](https://tracker.gg) accounts (if they...

What is your biggest gripe and appreciation with the current elo system?
I've been grinding ranked since the game came out and think we've experienced some big changes ever since beta. I always see people complaining about the current elo system and hidden mmr. However, I feel like there's things we can apprecia...

Matchmaking/competitive changes need to be made!
We are all aware of the hidden elo/mmr system Riot has in place to "benefit" the matchmaking experience, but the only thing it does is match players that are extremely higher or lower in rank, which puts someones skill level into question e...

Unpopular Opinion: There should be stricter penalties for people who Sabotage their team.
I think there should be stricter penalties for people who sabotage the team. I don't know about you guys but I had a sabotager on my team today and when I reported him, he later replied with a, "Well, 3 day holiday for me." and that got me...

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...

How is RIOT "addressing" smurfing?
I just played a game with a suspected smurf(s)...and it is not fun at all. I am writing because I thought RIOT said they will do something about smurfs... What they have done...?
I am in Gold...and a duo just picked Reyna and Ome...

I made a promise last act, did the same this act - now I've climbed to Gold.

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?

Reminder: Report the AFKs
I just got off an easy win where the enemy team had an AFK. I basically got most of my frags from running to enemy spawn and backstabbing the AFK.
The enemy team asked us to report him, but I didn't because the AFK was helping us win. M...

No matter how hard we train, our overall experience will never change.. ?!
If you play a game and get stomped by a smurf or just by a superior team and you totally got dominated and still leave the game, feeling good about yourself and were able to enjoy the game, this little thought isn't for you / you are one o...

Pointless but wanted to say it some where about my 3rd game in ranked
[edit at bottom]
I don’t expect anything from telling anybody this, I just needed to say it somewhere. Feel free to make fun of me if you want to.
I’ve been playing Valorant very casually with my boyfriend for the past week. We’re both ne...
