Gameplay I'm a Gold 1 controller main who had to solo duelist in my 5 stack and I got my first Jett knife ace!

20 Upvotes

At the end of the match, the Reyna insta pasted this message for me: "get off the smurf jett you fuckin loser. the rest of you, time to uninstall. just because the game is free doesn't mean you gotta play. you're ass if you need a smurf to carry your bitchasses to a win."

Mind you.. I played like shit the next match. I don't think I did anything special here, but I did play well in that match and got match MVP.

Reyna, if you're here, I'm sorry for ruining your night for having one good game lol.

Also, any constructive criticism is always appreciated!

Discussion does ANYONE know what this is and how to play it?

602 Upvotes

seeing stats for velocity, satchel positioning and info is insane to me. this would be really helpful to learn new movement mechanics and train my aim.

i saw this on tiktok, and someone said its just a chinese website (but didnt say which 🫩)

so im wondering if anyone here knows what this is, and what i need to do as an NA player to test it out (vpn, etc.)

side note features in this should be added to vanilla valorant, genuinely be so helpful for learning new movement tech.

Question Is it only me or does this game have more girls players than CS2?

6 Upvotes

CS2 was my first fps and im from EU and you barely never got girls in your lobbies,only if its faceit or very high ranks,but so far in Valo i had like 5 matches and almost all had girls in. Why do so many girls love this game but not CS2?

Question Will the coin flex update?

• Upvotes

In 2027 they are adding a flex ranked reward to show off your rank but will it update as it goes or will the coin be whatever rank you were when you got it and stay that way forever?

Discussion If we are entering site and I say ā€œflashingā€, don’t blame me for getting flashed

129 Upvotes

Like I give you more than 5 seconds, then I say im flashing, don’t complain when you get flashed. I gave you enough time to look away, to not push at the same time, etc.

It’s so annoying people blame you when you gave them more than just a heads up

Edit:
Clearly yall took the 5 seconds literally. I flash very COMMON places. I’ve only had this issue once and some of yall are acting like it’s every round, get off your high horses

Discussion Why Veto is the Failure of Sentinel Design

23 Upvotes

Sorry about the previous post. Honestly, I admit I got a bit lazy and used AI to help write it, so I’ve decided to repost it.

Over the past few patches, Sentinels like Cypher, Killjoy, and Vyse have all been nerfed, yet Veto is still rarely picked. At Shanghai Champions, these agents, along with Chamber and Sage, all saw play, while Veto was barely seen.

The problem isn't just numbers. His role itself is conflicted.

A Sentinel's main job is to control space, gather information, and delay enemy pushes. However, Veto's trap is easy to spot and destroy, and even when triggered, it doesn't reliably stop enemies from pushing. He tries to stand out through his anti-utility and mobility, but neither mechanic provides enough value to justify his place as a Sentinel.

Then there's Chamber. Many consider him a direct upgrade over Veto, but nerfing Chamber doesn't mean Veto will suddenly become viable. Chamber's instant TP allows him to take aggressive fights and quickly escape, an advantage Veto simply can't replicate.

More importantly, Veto's problem isn't just that Chamber outperforms him. His kit is fundamentally caught between different roles. His anti-utility isn't reliable enough for a defensive Sentinel, while his mobility isn't strong enough to make him a better choice for taking gunfights.

Personally, I don't think Riot had a clear idea of Veto's identity when they designed him. (Let's be honest, even if Chamber disappeared, that still wouldn't guarantee Veto a spot in the meta.) I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about how Veto could be buffed, but I've come to the conclusion that his kit has some pretty fundamental flaws. (Putting aside his weak ability to hold against rushes, pretty much everything Veto can do, other Sentinels can do Better.)

Discussion My friends won't play with me cause im trash

10 Upvotes

What's a good coaching site and how do i get better im struggling every game to get kills cause my aim feels like trash and my reactions are bad due to my age I'm 35 so I wanna prove these pricks wrong tbh I just don't really know how to get better I've tried dm but do far my aim still trash.

Running around map going round corners feels uncomfortable and people just headship me before I can aim at them not even spraying works also trying to kill an annoying strafer is a problem and I've practised movement in dm to and yet I still can't track someone's head while moving and shooting with A n D.

Discussion How many of these coaches are scamming?

24 Upvotes

I won’t link it directly cause I’m not trying to brigade anybody, but I saw a video yesterday from one of those dudes who does the whole ā€œwe have a really selective program and only take so many people on so we can focus on them 100%, you get 500rr in your first month or your money backā€

Then, partway through the video, he starts telling people who are in low ELO to ā€œhave more tension during your flicks, it’s good to grip the mouse really hardā€ (I swear to god)

I’m new to the game, but know enough about aiming to state that tension usage is a bit more nuanced than that. With that being said, I could see how a coach might be worth it if you wanna rank up quick and have the $$$.

So… how many of these dudes are scamming?

Where did the in-game leaderboard go? I can’t seem to find it anymore. Was it moved to a different menu, temporarily removed, or disabled after a recent update? If anyone knows where to find it now, please let me know.

Question Permission to use your gameplay from youtube.

• Upvotes

Hey guys! Sorry is this is not the right way… but i want to connect with small youtube or twitch streamers whose has gameplay clips uploaded in youtube. Need permission to use and publish your gameplay.

Recently we built a auto-editor which gives kill clips and montages. I just want to test it and if it comes out good i hope i can use that edit. Is there someone who has a youtube or twitch channel whose gameplay i can use. 🫠 please connect.

Question is borderless windowed better than fullscreen?

2 Upvotes

i got so used to using borderless windowed that i just now figure out that im not on fullscreen.
ive been using it for too long, and now, playing fullscreen makes me play bad because is very difference, mouse is smooth, almost kind of floaty, windowed mode feels more "raw", should i learn to play in fullscreen again?

a year and a half i would always do the best perfomance things ever, but i spent more than a year without playing any game, and when i came back i was just a casual offline player, so for me it was better to use windowed since it didnt matter in offline games, and the instantly alt tab is cool.

now that im coming back to competitive games (im gold in valorant 😭😭) and want to lock in, because ive never been gold in any game i played before, its hurting my ego.

Question Why dont melee skins have finishers ?

Melee skins are $50, why do they not have finishers on them. I feel like it would really incentivize melee kills. There should also be melee kill counters for the agent cards.

Question Are Alts still allowed to play with friends?

0 Upvotes

I have my main account thats level 200+ and with alot of skins gathered over years thats currently Ascendent 1 right now, but I'm trying to level up a second account specifically to play sheriff only with my friends who is gold 2 right now. With the boosting and smurfing bans lately, I'm tempted to give that up. The 2nd account is strictly sheriff only and not going to be used for boosting/smurfing at all, just an account to play with friends in competitive.

I cannot hear anyone in voice but can see their mics on. They can apparently hear me. My in game settings are tuned correctly for my hardware and my windows settings are fine. How can I fix this? It’s annoying for comp.
