Playing super hot in unrated and then questionable during comp, advice would be great.
I am working on combating ranked anxiety by playing ranked consistently but I have recently found that I am playing a little all over the place, using utility with no purpose, feeling kinda clueless and of course whiffing my shots. I’m wond...

I just had my most Wholesome game ever
Basically just a few hours ago my aim was damn off and I couldn't shoot for shit, and I was sure that my team would flame me, so I apologized in chat around round 10, when we were losing 6/4 . To my surprise instead of flaming me they told...

So, I got this game in December last year, placed Iron 1 and try-harded my way to get placed in Iron 3 next episode \[January\]. However, it seems like I am not improving and going backwards sometimes, like I have been working on my crossha...

Love Letter to VALORANT

Had the worst match in my life in ranked. Don't care what anyone else makes of this, but it was bullying. Don't know how to handle it tho.
Was in a competitive match (I'm not ranked yet) today with 4 silver player in my team who was in the same lobby. At the First Round, this sage told everyone to the knife because our Reyna had act rank as Plat. The enemy team was scared of s...

Why do we need 4 votes to remake a game?
If a player dc's since round 1 you are playing with an important disadvantage and shouldn't be held hostage by someone who's waiting for their friend or wants to play it out especially in ranked matches.

Why is valorant pro play any different than high rank games?
Why are agent pickrates, winrates, etc so much different? And what makes a ranked agent viable in matchmaking but not in comp?

Idea: Make a casual playlist seperate to unranked that has shorter matches (that isn't spike rush)
I think one of the ways i prefer CS to Valorant is that the casual matches are really lax about the matchmaking; the score doesn't really matter, people are just there to make slav jokes and dick around. I'd much like to see this implemente...

The Extremely Opinionated Guide to Climbing from Iron to Gold
Are you in iron/bronze and think that getting ranked Gold is an absolute impossibility? I was there. My friends were ranked so much higher that I couldn't play with them. And I decided to cast aside all the patterns and habits from decades...

Why is spraying so random in this game?
Basically title. Before reading this, please keep in mind I'm not hating on the game. Quite the opposite I like it, and I want to play this over CS:GO, but I can't, because gunplay frustrates me and I feel like it will never hold a candle t...

Analysis of Economy and Ultimate Relationship
It is a consensus for people to consider their and opponents creds when deciding how to spend their creds. But, I think that the ultimate status (especially the timing) should be part of that equation especially in Rounds 1 - 4
