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...

Been playing for fun recently
So I had an increasingly bad time in my ranked game for a while now feeling more and more empty every time I had to regrind my rank to immortal culminating last act when I truly felt nothing when i got there. Every game feeling the same, a...

March Rank Distribution
Saw this interesting graphic on Instagram. Cool to see how the rank is distributed and where I am compared to the rest of ranked players. I'm Plat 1 so to see that plat is in the top 30% of the player base really helps my confidence, esp...

Why is ranked so screwed up?
The rr system is so broken, I'm currently silver 2 and I know to most Val players that means I don't get an opinion but hear me out. I consistently topfrag in all my matches but still am not making progress in ranked. I'd say for every 5 ma...

The state of Neon
So when Neon released I played her a lot and was having so much fun on her. She wasn't considered very good at that point and up until now I barely see people play her.
Yesterday I played some unrated with friends since I can't play ranked...

I tend to perform well when using machine guns and pistols but I suck when using SMGs and Rifles
I've been playing Valorant on my free time for around 1 month already. Ever since I started using machine guns, I ranked up pretty fast from Iron to Silver. But each time I try to use the Vandal or the Phantom, the usual scenario would be a...

There should be shorter unrated game mode
Basically why isn't there a shorter game mode that is exactly like ranked/unranked but less rounds? It seems so intuitive to just do like a first to 7 or first to 9 game mode. That way you would have the same Valorant experience but in a sh...

Ranked Reset is torture
Why, oh why must this be a thing? We spend 8 months, meticulously climbing in rank, just to be shut back to the pits of this game. I mean the fact that I’m a Gold1 playing against Plat2 players while in silver lobbies is so stupid to me. An...

Incentivizing Good Team Play
Riot should have an honor system at the end of the match similar to League where you can pick the teammate who communicated well and contributed to your win. Maybe add a skin you can get from these points or maybe throw in 1-2 extra RR in r...
