Discussion is omen going to be back now?

• Upvotes

since the clove nerf is pretty brutal and removes the big reason I play clove (the speed after you get a kill and res)

will omen just be better? I mean against cloves you can just play safer so your team has smokes and omens kit is far more useful than cloves

Question MMR is in the absolute gutter after 1 week of bad games. Tips to improve it?

9 Upvotes

So I hit Platinum, and I was gaining 20-30 rr every game. I started streaming me playing VALORANT, and I did start playing worse because I’m not comfortable with being on camera/distracted with reading chat. I ranked down to Gold 2 in the process, and it was over the course of about a week of streaming. Now, I gain 10-15 rr and lose 30 Every. Single. Game no matter how good I play. I dropped 36 kills in Gold/Silver lobbies and that was the only way I could get 30 rr. I am now getting in games with Silvers-Bronze-Iron, and my teammates are worse so even if I top frag, I’m still losing some games. I have to win 3 games just to win back my rr lost from one game. I don’t understand how my MMR tanked in the course of like a week. Any tips on how to improve it?

Discussion Spray patterns (referring to fully auto guns)

0 Upvotes

I really wish riot took out RNG bullet spray auto out of full auto guns. The common reason why they added RNG, is to cater to newer/low skilled players while indirectly hurting skilled players/players who know how to control spray. Maybe another reason why they made the recoil pattern random is that they'll rather focus on making new expensive skins than giving full auto guns their own recoil pattern. I spray because i mastered burst firing, and a little bit of tap firing. Got bored so i figured using my middle and other finger near my pinkie to control spray recoil was fun and effective. (Yes very repetitive post lol) Any thoughts?

Discussion Kuronami knife 1.0 vs 2.0. 4 months waiting for Kuronami No Yaiba, but Naru-Kami just showed up in my shop.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, ​I need some advice from people who have experience with these skins. I’ve been waiting for Kuronami No Yaiba to hit my shop for 4 full months, and it's absolute agony. ​Today, the store finally threw a bone, but it was Kuronami Naru-Kami instead. ​This is going to be my first and last skin purchase (spending around ~5,350 VP), so I really can't afford to mess it up or feel buyer's remorse. My heart is definitely leaning toward No Yaiba because the double daggers and the chain-spinning inspect are just iconic. Naru-Kami is clean and the transformation/kunai-to-blade gimmick is cool, but I'm super torn. ​If you own Naru-Kami, does the animation get boring after a while, or is it worth it? ​Should I just pull the trigger now because the Valorant store RNG is rigged, or will I regret not waiting longer for the double daggers? ​Help a brother out before the shop resets!

Question How do you translate DM to Comp?

3 Upvotes

So, for reference, I am silver 2, and I would say my mechanics are better than most silvers. In deathmatch, I easily frag over any silver player, usually frag over golds, and quite often frag over plats and occasionally even a diamond or two. I think the main reason I am able to do this is that there are no abilities and there is no pressure of planting the spike. My mechanics are so crisp in DM, but the second I go to comp, I'm just any average schmuck getting head tapped with no response back. What am I supposed to do, and how do I get more comfortable with being smoked off or like a concuss or flash being thrown?

Discussion Miks players

0 Upvotes

I recently got back to valorant after 4 years. I have played somewhat 50 games this season and notived something

I had to check, i had 12 miks plaeyers in my own and enemy team combined. 11 of them where bottom fragging. Not like a little but only 2 of them had over 10 kills

Can someone explain this phenomena, is the agent like extremly supportive like overwatch mercy or do they just suck

Question Where do I even start trying to learn this game?

20 Upvotes

I got valorant about 5 days because two of my friends play a lot and wanted me to join. So far, it's been a miserable experience. There's abilities and characters flying around grabbing my focus, and I'm already not good at shooters so I can't aim very well yet. The only advice I've been given from people is either "go play this mode since you suck," which doesn't help because the result is the same, or "just get aim labs," which doesn't help with the mental overload of needing to know exactly when to use my abilities and also being aware of the 20 abilities on the other team. I want to play, but I'm hating it so far because I don't know what to do. Any actual help would be appreciated, I don't want to give up immediately.

Discussion My thoughts on Hush so far

0 Upvotes

I’m currently mastery 3 with her and have had many matches with, as, and against her. Here is what I feel:
•She is definitely strong (with practice) but not to the level of prime raze, Jett, or neon.

•The time it takes to pull out abilities is longer than you think it would be

•All of her abilities (except for dash) can affect teammates, which in some niche situations can actually help your teammates (pulling teammates to cover)

•Her dash (and all her abilities) is super loud, like being able to pinpoint where she’s at during a gun fight loud

•Speaking about her dash, the super dash is super niche, so far it seems like it’s only good when the enemies are distracted, and when you actually have enough room on the map for it to matter and preferably lots of Intel.

•Prepping her abilities again, takes a while and leaves you vulnerable to wasting them if no enemies are around so you have to do it, knowing there are enemies in the area. You can’t be like “I hear someone let me prep my abilities. “ you need to have them already prepped by that point or you’re likely to get shot mid animation.

•She is not very good of a reactive agent, you really want to plan when and where you use your utility, it’s not like Phoenix where you can just run onto site and throw your abilities, willy-nilly and still get value

I’m sure that I have more opinions, but I can’t think of them right now. Overall, I think that this is the best agent released in a very, very long time. It’s been very boring having character characters with basically no skill ceiling or thought involved while playing. One of the things that Drew me to this game over Counter Strike was the ability to master an agent but, most of the cast has been neutered down to being very basic. I’m sure she will get play in the pro scene , but I don’t see her replacing characters like Jett.

0 Upvotes

Why do people complain so much about good players like Keeoh or RoyalG making alt accounts and speedrunning to as high of a rank as they can go? Its the exact same as a high rank making an alt account and ranking it up but it appears that theres a lot less of an issue when someone does that.

Question How do you even get good at this game.

8 Upvotes

So I decided to start trying to find something that wasn’t Overwatch. I had heard about Valorant before from a friend but I am a console player pretty exclusively. (My brain can not do the mouse and keyboard gaming aspect. I know PC is better but I’m an unc and not smart enough to play on one.) So anyways long story short saw it the game is now on console. The game is fun but how the hell do you get good at this game. I think I have 4-5 hours in it now and I don’t believe I have ever gotten more than 5 kills in a game of swift play. I just feel bad because people are having to carry me to victories. Any and all help would be amazing! Thanks!!
