META Banning for Begging posts

Hi users!

Around the time of bundles, we tend to get a lot of “begging” posts where users are begging for someone to buy them the bundle or skins.

We’ve noticed that the vast lot of these seem to come from adult brand account, brand new accounts, bot accounts, etc.

Please do not engage with these accounts, please do not suggest anything to these accounts. Just report these accounts and move on. We are banning these accounts.

Thank you for your attention.

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!

58 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 Which agent do you think got the most satisfying first pov animations for their abilities?

8 Upvotes

Skye: The animation for the animal totems are so well made and the sound is so fun, very recognizable whichever one you're holding

Gekko: each of his pet has different fun hand motions for deploying them

Viper: I like how freaky and spider-like her fingers get

Raze: All her animations are so full of personalities, and probably the best showcase of her as a person out of anyone else

Discussion Why's having a feminine voice as a guy so fucking painful in this game? :v

6 Upvotes

hiii, so i'm a guy with a pretty feminine voice, and i swear sometimes just trying to communicate in this game feels like i'm signing up for a medical exam ._.

like i'll literally say "two mid" and suddenly it's "u a trans girl? U a boy?" And its nonstop, sometimes its not even asking its just bullying or straight up slurs. CAN WE PLEASE JUST PLAY THE GAME

and honestly i don't even mind people being curious!! it's when they start making fun of me, treating me like some kind of joke or making everything weird after finding out i'm a guy that it gets exhausting :u ive had people add me before, hang out, snd then they hear my voice or suspect im "actually a guy" and im immediately blocked or harrassed.

i mostly play sage and killjoy, and i genuinely love being helpful and making people feel comfortable when we play together. i wanna be able to make "cute" comms, heal my teammates and just have fun without feeling like i'm being judged every time i open my mouth...

i see people talking about meeting their closest friends or even their partners through valorant and i'm just sitting here wondering WHERE ARE YALL FINDING THESE PEOPLE 😭 i'd love to have that kind of experience too, especially with a sweet guy who doesn't make a huge deal out of how i sound. let me be someone's pocket sage in peace PLEASE, which isnt me asking btw, its litterally everything ELSE i run into with the ekittens on this game ._.

so i'm genuinely curious, especially for other guys with feminine voices or anyone who's been treated differently in vc, how do you deal with this? and how do you actually end up meeting nice people who stick around without having to immediately talk about ur privates so they dont block you? Its a problem in every community but more prominent on vc games....

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

16 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?

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

626 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.

start to the act has been okay so far💔💔 had a great string of games today when i decided to play as waylay and get off clove. 29 rr off silver 2 as i was mostly b3 last act and i hit silver at the last minute. hoping i can get to gold this act if i put in the time🙏 tracker is unfortunately not looking the greatest though as all of my stats are at a C or lower (i think i sometimes take stupid fights and dont play off my team as much)

Question Is the rank-up game curse real?

• Upvotes

After 4 match mvps where i steamrolled my opponents i am feeling good and 1game away from a rankup to silver. In the next game i do well again for the first two rounds. (We loose both but i get kills) then 3rd round comes around. Clove kills my entire team before i can trade her. I pick up her vandal… and what do i see!?? A diamond gun buddy… WHAT IS GOING ON!!!! lets just say they dropped a 30kill 500score match mvp and i lost 20rr for a 18kill team mvp🥲

She was silver 3 now but still… headtapping everyone, running around barely ever missing

Discussion If we are entering site and I say “flashing”, don’t blame me for getting flashed

133 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

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 My friends won't play with me cause im trash

11 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 Why Veto is the Failure of Sentinel Design

24 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.)
