Discussion Hush is going to be broken on release

• Upvotes

Every ability in Hush's kit is strong. Her pull is nearly a guaranteed kill if you drag someone out of cover into the open. Her flash is fully controllable and can basically be pop-flashed. Her dash isn't fast and would be weak if she didn't pull her gun out instantly afterward. Her ult is good for confirming kills and in a post plant. Her passive is decent and enables some strong plays. The most broken part of her kit is how fast she can chain util and get her gun back out, combined with how much control she has over all of it.
This agent is incredibly versatile and each of her abilities are powerful, yet they are apparently nerfing chamber who has like two strong abilities and is completely aim reliant.

Question Years later and still no timeout option in competitive/ranked?

25 Upvotes

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?

Gameplay Rework skye idea

0 Upvotes

Problème actuel

En tant que joueur de Skye, je trouve que son soin est trop situationnel. Il soigne les alliés, mais Skye ne peut pas se soigner elle-même. De plus, face à des joueurs très précis, un allié peut être éliminé instantanément avant de pouvoir profiter du soin.

Ses flashs restent utiles, tandis que son ultime sert surtout à localiser les ennemis plutôt qu'à les déstabiliser durablement.

Mes propositions

  1. Réduire le rayon du soin de 10 %

Cette réduction accompagne les changements suivants afin de limiter la zone d'effet.

  1. Ajouter une protection contre les headshots mortels

Lorsque Skye active son soin, jusqu'à deux alliés dans le rayon, les plus proches d'elle, peuvent survivre à un headshot qui aurait normalement été fatal, avec 1 PV restant.

Cette protection ne fonctionne pas contre les tirs au corps et ne protège pas Skye elle-même.

  1. Permettre à Skye de se soigner

Skye pourrait désormais récupérer ses propres PV. Lorsqu'elle est seule, passer de 5 à 100 PV prendrait environ 5 secondes.

Si elle subit des dégâts pendant son soin, celui-ci serait interrompu pendant 2 à 3 secondes.

  1. Faire évoluer le rayon selon les survivants

À chaque allié éliminé, le rayon diminuerait de 10 %. Plus le rayon est concentré, plus le soin serait rapide.

Objectif

Donner à Skye davantage d'autonomie et une utilité défensive supplémentaire, tout en maintenant des contreparties pour éviter qu'elle soit trop puissante.

Ces changements sont des propositions à tester et à ajuster selon leur impact sur l'équilibrage du jeu.

Gameplay We need a "blink" game mechanic

0 Upvotes

I am honestly tired of these Phoenix flashes. I have neither the reaction time to avoid them nor the luck to just guess position and spray. So I thought what if we had a Blink action that almost darkens your screen for 0.97 (adjustable) seconds and lets you avoid flashes.
This adds more realism and a cool unique game mechanic.
I have to mention this would likely make Phoenix and Breach completely useless as agents

Discussion I built a tool to analyze mouse movement and calculate a custom sensitivity / Raw Accel curve based on natural hand mechanics. Would love your feedback on this approach.

4 Upvotes

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.

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

So I recently managed to hit Gold 1, and have Platinum as the next goal. Ever since I switched from Sova to Iso it's like a switch has flipped in my brain, making me play more aggressively and take fights with more confidence.

Soon plats started entering my games, and today I even got a diamond! Super thrilled to see higher ranks in the lobby since that bodes well for my MMR :D

Discussion O jogo está a ficar estragado.

1 Upvotes

Bem eu queria vir aqui falar de como jogar Valorant está a ficar frustante, tem um monte de cheaters, trollers, wintraders, smurfs (ainda mais para quem é um elo mais baixo) e mais.

Eu sei que os devs já meteram um anti-cheat como deve devs meteram como denúnciar por estar afk, eu sei que eles estão a tentar ajudar.

Mas no outor dia eu estava a jogar o meu comp depois de um dia longo, e calho com uma Deadlock que estava só a trollar e um Sova que estava afk mas com auto-clicker, o que anda a ocorrer muito é usarem auto clicker para ficarem afk e não serem banidos e isso é frustante, eu e os outros dois jogadores que estavamos a jogar até tentamos carregar, ficamos até perto de ganhar mas assim não dava.

O que mais me frusta é depiis perder -30 rr e não poder fazer nada. Não poder falar com um suporte para esse tipo de situação (eu sei que também estaria sempre cheio também) mas acho injusto e frustante e cada vez tenho menos vontade de jogar.

Obrigado por ouvirem este desabafo.

Discussion valorant devs need to play their own game

0 Upvotes

this rant is about the new agent

let me make this clear, they want to nerf neon more after already putting her in a wheelchair because her slide "doesn't belong in the game" and now they add a new agent that has both Jetts dash, raze satchel and astra pull all in one ability? and that belongs in the game? and to top it all of hushs ult is literally impossible to dodge, from what I see in the trailers. not to mention the pull ability, basically making holding a dropped spike useless. this agent makes so sense. none of the abilities seem like they should exist in a "precise shooter" game.

also why even buff neon to begin with? she was good enough before the accuracy buff. they removed the only good part of her skillset which was her high ride or whatever it was called. and now they are nerfing chamber too. chamber is already an agent with no useful skills. only his tp and his trip, which only gives info. basically a human being with guns and a tp. meanwhile there's hush who can fly, jump, pull, stun, and make people fly and oh yea don't forget she can pull spikes, guns and open doors from faraway!!1!1!!

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?
