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...

One of the worst kind of players: Lineup Larrys who sell their team
I witnessed so often in my ranked games (immortal) that vipers, brimstones, killjoys,.. dont understand when they should and when they SHOULDNT use lineups for postplant. Many instantly go to their lineup location after they planted, what m...

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...

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...
