Passive: Can interact with objects from a distance

C: A dash that lets you select the location before jumping

Q: A flashbang whose detonation you can control

E: Instantly pulls enemies within an area toward you

X: Creates a zone that removes gravity from enemies

Always find it funny how people come to conclusions without the agent even being out. Valorant was declining due to stagnation just a year ago, while this is how people react to any agent with new mechanics. XD

Mid-series. World title on the line. Arena full in Shanghai. And bro got down on one knee in full Iso cosplay next to his Sage like it was the most normal round of the night.

Valorant is not a game anymore, it's a lifestyle. She said yes, by the way.

did a swim version of kj at a con not too long ago! so happy to share.
operator is 3d printed and painted by me!!

I am personally Watching a lot of esports also outside of valo and I was extremely roting for vit to win.
But After Seeing what it meant to them and hearing about there stories i think it was the Most deserved and best end I have ever Seen.
I was doing my homework, while watching the trophy getting handed to them but I had to stop because I just startet crying.
I just Hope it helps them get over there losses!!
Idk just wanted to Share my thoughts
RIP to erdes mum and darkners dog

It's been years since VALORANT was officially released, and I still can't wrap my head around why we don't have a basic timeout/pause feature in standard competitive play.

In other tactical shooters (like CS2 / CS:GO), calling a tactical or technical timeout in matchmaking has been standard practice forever. It gives teams a quick 60-second window to reset mentally, fix a quick hardware/connection issue, or adjust strategies when things go south.

Right now in VALO, if someone's router hiccups or someone needs 30 seconds to restart their game/gear, you're forced to play a full 4v5 round with zero options to stall or pause. Even from a purely tactical perspective, being able to call a 1-minute timeout could completely break an opponent's momentum.

Custom games have pause features, so the tech is clearly there. Why hasn't Riot implemented a 1-time team timeout vote per match in regular ranked? Is there a specific design reason holding them back, or do people think it would just lead to misuse/griefing?

What are your thoughts? Should ranked have a timeout system?

Riot stated in September that around 10% of the active playerbase are smurfs. Doing a quick math means, that in around 65% of your games, at least one of the Players in your match is a smurf. These players play below their actual skill level, resulting in a destroyed competetive intergrity for OVER HALF OF YOUR GAMES.

This is exremely frustrating, when you play a lot of games and every single loss that day is because of a smurf carrying the enemy team, often with premades that are getting boosted by him.

This is the very opposite of rewarding and a competetive game should NEVER be decided only by the fact that there is a player in the lobby, that systematicly doesnt match the skilllevel.

Riot start banning smurfs, even when they play alone!

The asian mom nagging in the trailer was so freaking accurate lmao between a gunfight even!
WE finally have a pink flash now lol

*The trailer for Agent 30, a sentinel named ‘Veto’, came out with Champs 2025. WOW, is he broken.

First off, he can delete abilities? That is not fair, and it’s his signature ability. Countering an ultimate with a free ability makes zero sense.

Second, he just has a better Chamber TP- Longer range, and 2 charges. And, a better Chamber Trip- it slows, decays, tethers, and deafens? What was riot thinking? Not to mention to can be THROWN forward like Fade, making it 2 abilities in one. I feel like Chamber is going to get zero picks after Veto comes out.

Finally, his ultimate is going to get nerfed immediately. What do you mean he is INVINCIBLE? And, has combat stim AND healing? I don’t even need to say anything…

*If you cannot tell, this is satire about the 1,000,000 posts right now about how Hush is going to be broken on release. Just wait for her to come out and then make an opinion, smh.*

So in addition to my complaints (link in comments) about the new mastery system, I wanted to point this out as a separate but related issue.

We have stat cards now. Customizable stat cards at that. With no real way to show them off currently beyond sharing.

I present to you a (really bad, MSPaint) mock-up of not only what could have been, but what COULD be if RIOT takes 5 minutes to make it happen. Attached are the mock-up and current versions of the "stat com" flex.

Makes perfect sense to me and I don't understand why this wasn't a thing (I fully expected it to be and it just isn't?).

We won the round btw:
It was 4v1 and I had spike and was already in site so I went to plant, the others apparently decided to rotate but they didn’t use vc, just pings and I was too focused to even notice it

I died, but then we won the round anyway?

Then they “???”ed me but I was like ok I lost the spike, that’s fair

So I asked them nicely “Sorry can you vc the comms next time because I can’t focus on too many things at once”

They said that I was demanding vc instead of just using my brain, can’t use my eyes and that I’m completely trash and that’s why I’m hardstuck. Like the fuck?

this is kind of a follow up to my previous post, if you love valorant esports and want to get into it, this is very worth your time! you can try it for free on: vods.space/extension

Cmon you know the community be listening to keshi. He played in the showmatch. The next step is to have this guy make a song for all the keshi fans for valorant and then Have him perform VCT 2027 champions

I saw OhnePixle got invited to play in Valorant (i was a former CS player, so i know him from there). So, i watched his gameplay video and when i saw the name "Dabin" , i thought it was odd that one of my fav artist name is used by someone else aswell.

So i checked the camers, and my Jaw dropped.

Riot inviting people like Dabin (did not know he played val) and Ohne to their events honestly game me a new level of respec for Riot.

I mean, even my name has it XD (just as proof)

Thank you Riot, for the amount of effort you put into this game.

I've spent a lot of time playing FPS games, especially Valorant, feeling like something was off with my aim. No matter what settings I tried, I could never find a sensitivity that felt truly natural and consistent.

I also experimented with Raw Accel, but the number of available curves and parameters made it difficult to know whether I was actually improving or just endlessly tweaking settings.

Because of that, I started developing a tool that analyzes mouse movement through a series of FPS aiming exercises and attempts to determine which sensitivity profile and acceleration curve best fit the individual player.

The goal is to provide an initial assessment in about 15 minutes, with no prior knowledge of Raw Accel required. From there, additional sessions can further refine the profile if desired.

The core idea is simple: Is your current sensitivity actually helping your aim, or is it holding you back?

Unlike aim trainers, the goal is not to train aim directly. The goal is to identify whether your settings match the way your hand naturally moves.

As a bonus, the tool is lightweight enough that it could potentially be used as a quick warm-up between matches while also monitoring whether your sensitivity still fits your current performance.

I've attached screenshots of the prototype and a curve generated from my own data. I'm not claiming it will magically turn anyone into a pro player, but after applying the suggested curve I definitely feel more consistent and confident in my mouse control.

Right now I'm looking for honest feedback to determine whether this approach to sensitivity profiling makes sense to other players. Does this method of aligning sensitivity to natural hand movement sound logical to you? How do you currently determine if your settings actually fit your mechanics?

Any feedback, criticism, or suggestions are welcome.

Hi! I’m looking for a guide or insight on a proper way to vod review. what should I look for in my gameplay and how can I improve it? Thank you so much in advance!

Hope you like it! It took only 1h. I absolutely adore viper and she’s my main I couldn’t resist not making her. Art by me
