Matchmaking and the smurfing problem are two sides of the same coin
Mind you I am a bronze, SEVERELY casual player. I don't play this game much, at all. I play with friends and sometimes I just play because I want to. Typically I've been playing the new mode swiftplay. 3 Games in a row was it an incredibly...

It should be harder to make a smurf in Valorant
You shouldn't be able to make a new account, win 10 unrated games over 6-7 hours, then hop in with your friends and popoff for 35-10 in some iron-silver lobby if you are a plat+ player. It ruins the matchmaking quality of games. In LoL, it...

Somedays Valorant just seems to not work for me.
I don't really understand why this is happening, if it's on my side or due to the servers but somedays I will play multiple ranked/dm matches and get outplayed by everyone on the enemy team. These days, I will play games where I will nonsto...

Why am I so worn out and washed?
I don't understand why, but recently I've been feeling sloppy in Valorant. I started playing Valorant as my first FPS game around December, and last week I hit Gold after going on a 15+ game winstreak and overall just performing well (not m...

Tired of <20 level accounts coming to silver or gold then trashtalking teammates and commenting how bad their plays are, then proceeding to talk shit about ranks while providing 0 insightful comments. Imagine smurfing then still complaining...

Is using Odin against the rules?
So I just had the worst match I've ever played on any competitive game ever so far.

Ranked game just disconnected, we were about to win
This just happened, we were about to win our ranked game with one round left, and the whole lobby just got disconnected. Did anyone experience the same thing?
No record at all in my match history, pretty annoying
