I don't really understand the spray on these guns
When I play with the Vandal and Phantom it seems like the spray after 1 sec gets so huge that I can actually hold the crosshair directly on an unmoving target at medium range and they just live. Does this mean I should hope to one tap them...

aimlab playlist?
anyone have a nice aim training playlist to use? im not new to fps games or anything im just taking a break from cs (3k elo faceit) and this game's version of aimbotz is lackluster so aimlab looks better to use

[PSA] Bunnyhopping correctly *can* increase velocity up to 10% compared to running
I read a lot of posts in this subreddit which questioned whether or not bhopping yields a speed increase or not in this game. For example, this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/g0hchv/psa_bunnyhopping_gives_up_to_a_10_speed_...

Shooting range and training modes
\-Shooting range is a great tool for practising aim but I want more. Bots spawning on different heights would be a good start. (We have seen all those montages of the agents training in their simulators in trailers... they should add in som...

Compliments are bad?
I just started a new aim training program, and my first comp game in, I did really well, (probably a fluke, but that’s why I’m training) I ended up placing first in the match, with the entire enemy team splitting me from my teammates on the...

I'm surprised at how much hardware can impact in-game results
I've been playing Valorant for over a year on a laptop, the game ran surprisingly well, 1080p @ 60ish FPS. I've been following the Miyagi method of warm-up, which for those that don't know, is:
1. Training range: Sheriff headshots on Easy...

I just switched 75Hz monitor to 144Hz. Jesus guys, you don't know how MUCH it improves your aim/reaction and etc. Previously, in shooting range, I was training my aim with vandal at hard mode, I was able to kill all bots in 84 seconds, that...

Valorant is meant as an esports game. But after 2 years, normal modes for training at least shooting, there is only DM, which needs to be restarted every \~7 minutes.
Developers, if you see this (you definitely come here sometimes), pleas...

Why am I forever hardstuck silver-low gold? I play a ton.
So for reference, I started in beta. I peaked plat in ep 1 act 1 on one of my older accounts. I struggle to improve at all. I have over 900ish matches on all my accounts combined. Yet my main is still stuck in the silver 3-gold 2 range. I h...

Should Riot redesign the Practice Range in the post-VCT patch
We all know the practice range is wonky and some of the agents' abilities don't function at all in it. Let alone the weird and low amount of options/customizations to the bots and training difficulty.
Then there's the tutorial, I've recomm...

Do you think anyone is good enough to go pro?
I was curious if you think some people are just naturally better than video games (this is obviously true to some degree at least), or do you guys think that with enough training, theoretically anyone can become pro level? Just a random tho...

After 5 months of trying, I made it out from Silver to Gold! Here's what I (think I) did right.

You can not increase your reaction time. However, you CAN increase your TTK.
Hey there, I want to share something I discovered through loads of research and experimenting. I am currently Ascendant in valorant, and my goal is to get as high of a rank as possible before the end of this episode. I have an extremely wea...

Does a Marshal + Ghost on Deathmatch improve aim?
Or does a Guardian and/or Sheriff improve aim better? I'm not being specific about sniper/scoped aim and hipfire aim, just both or overall aim in general.
I don't like spending time in the Range anymore cuz it doesn't give me exp (for the...
