Platinum is not a real rank in Valorant.
Backstory: I have never taken this game too seriously when it comes to grinding ranked. I have played every act since beta and only played 10-20 games to get to plat 1 after being placed gold2/gold3 ish every season just for the gun buddy...

the 5-stacking algorithm is due for a fix
not a smurfing post
I get what riot was trying to do when it comes to trying to average out the mmr distribution in a stack to make sure you play against a team of similar skill. The problem is that the skill discrepancy between ranks isn'...

The rank reset this episode is great. Hear me out.
Posting this because I've seen so many people complaining about their ranks after placements this episode, including some friends. Here's my take.
For some context, I just barely hit Gold 1 last act and placed Silver 1 after my placements...

As a diehard smokes main, am I just full on boosted?
To preface whatever is written below, I would like to say I have tried other character types and none really call to me, besides sova and fade sometimes. Overall, I never stray away from smokes, specifically viper and brim. (IM GOLD BTW)

why is it the duelist are always toxic?
Title says it all, for me its the jetts and reynas. Got into a game where each round the jett just spammed ez in chat and "aim labs is free".

Do we know why some agents haven’t been featured in any of the Valorant cinematics?
I’ve noticed agents like Reyna, Skye, Breach, Astra, Chamber, Omen haven’t been in the cinematics (that I’ve found, anyway) and not much of Sage or Sova either. Is there a reason for this?

Cool Snapchat filters of Omen and Reyna that can mimic your moves. Link in comments if you wanna try them out.

Riot has been lazy with the ultimate callouts of agents
Recently when Chamber was released, I expected him to have a lot more intimidating ultimate callout...but all he says as he pulls out a one shot, one of a kind weopon of destruction is... "tHeY ARe sO dEAd". And Neon ult sound is just "hERe...

How to improve my babysitting skills within Valorant?
I've been playing a lot of Astra in my platinum lobbies recently, she's pretty much the only agent I can remain consistent on, I either do mediocre or pop off, and rarely do horrible.
Ever since starting to play her, nothing ticks me off m...

Ask nicely if you want skins.
I give zero fucks about how much you’re fragging in regards to how willing I am to drop skins. Will gladly drop for a 0/22/5 dude who asked politely over the 26/1/10 reyna who sounds like the seagulls from finding nemo.
Edit: it seems i ha...

Raze Ult Area of Effect splash damage demonstration
I recorded this actual live-gameplay demonstration of the Raze Ult splash damage. If you frame-by-frame the explosion and check how far Reyna is (to the right), it's quite a distance. Notice there's no assist on the 2 deaths. I've also...

How can I apply my skills from Overwatch to Valorant?
I used to be a grandmaster hitscan player.
I just started playing this game again after having not really played much since the beta. I'm looking at playing Jett and Reyna and possibly Neon.
I'm not really sure what other inf...
