Improving
Yo I need help improving where do I find it. I am G1. I play Omen. Big issue is I cant hit headshots
602 Replies
I started and Now I am getting worse
Last few dayus
have been way off
My last game I played I had zero kills during entire defense
Nah I am asking where I find help to improve though
Like where do I go
Aiming obv isnt the only reason I am in gold lol
I just dont know where to look for help
No
I dont really follow valorant media
I just dont enjoy it
I watched a bit of moist moguls
Yea maybe I just find watching to be too boring
Only stuff i've watched for valorant is like Grimm or Flexninja
but again where do I go to find help
like coaching or something
9. You Must Have Enough Hours
If you are below diamond, you must have at least 300 hours in the ranked queue
I joined the server but wtf is that rule
300 hours ???
its a vod review rule or something
dunno
I only have 50 hours on omen
Its still uploading
for some reason it says 46 minutes
10 minutes for sd
got lost in smoke
I also just play weird and worse when recording
are you not supposed to smoke that corner and the back from middle?
this
This is normally what I do
this is unrated btw
You should be full buying in second round
Yea that is somethign I almost never do
Why not
I always die and cant buy third
Bro
Ur supposed to buy
After winning pistol
no
If u die than ur just bad
I literally always die
if i buy
They have pistols u have spectre
Just do it
yea but Then third no vandel
Try it for a week
Itโs called a bonus round buddy
Lmao
what
Even if u lose 3rd round u guys will be rich
And opponents will be broke
But if u win the bonus round
U guys will have 6k+ credits
So i am supposed to lose the third rounmd?
\
Kinda
U still have to try ur best
I just suck with any gun other guns
except full
Well practice
With it
U shouldnโt be complaining about dying all the time with specters if u donโt practice
This is me trying
Its just not ranked
I dont have any ranked vods
Unrated is different than ranked
Unrated gives u more credits per round I think
Not sure
Unrated is same mechanics as ranked
Its swiftplay that gives more
The reason I have this vod is because I wanted to record trying for headshots
Remember when you said actually try to get heasdhsots
I already tried
This was me
trying
its why I recorded it
Youโre giving him conflicting advice
Also round like 6 and 7 is both the good smokes
I havent given any advice
You said I need to try and focus on headshots. That means I need kills. I came up with the same advice few days ago and recorded 3 games of me trying. I noticed that I was worse when recording and didnt record more. But this gameplay is me trying to focus on kills
I didnt record ranked games because I dont want to perform worse like i did in unrated from recording
You then said I need to be 4th or 5th. Which now I can apply to ranked
Since you play omen I personally believe you should focus on learning how to smoke and help your team, because winning comes from more than just kills
I cant apply the information you give me now in an old recording
Do you like playing for kills or do you like playing to help your team
No I dont normally play stupid for kills
I normally hold down spots with smokes

I hate playing duelists and going for kills
Link is for my match history
Then if you want to perform better donโt spend all your time trying to headshot, learn more about positioning and how to smoke
Except the game isnt csgo where I can just spray at the body
obviously aim/crosshair placement is important, but if you donโt want to go for kills you should learn how to smoke better
I NEED to be able to hit headshots
its easier to spray at body than it is in cago
I find it way harder
Csgo at least has better tap firing and recoil control
try to practice crosshair placement in deathmatch then
I feel like my placement isnt too bad
but i dunnol
Like I try to keep it level
If it was good you wouldnโt be worried about performance
Practice crosshair placement and positioning/smoking to give yourself an advantage
skip to 20:40 in the vod
Like is that bad crosshair?
or just bad aim
I feel like I had it pretty good lined up for placement
Like I ALWAYS am thinking about crosshair placement and keeping it close to what box height would bne
I watched a video on it and always think about it
its just after I see someone my aim just turns to shit
I can look up smoke placements for every map i play
So far I guess i have just been assuming where they go
no
was yesterday I think
Wish this game auto recorded like league
no
thanks
that helps
Ill just learn something
I know nothing about
That was my worst deathmatch ever
man youtube processing is so slow
10 mins for 5 mins
This one is in hd so easier to see crosshair
yes
strafing
and waiting to be shot
Every time I was only holding a and d tho
how is 3 18 not strafe shot?
Yea because I am mentally still in csgo
I havent played csgo in like 2 years but I went back the other day and feels more natural then valorant that i have been playing since beta
For some reason I cant figure out the spray reset
its why Tap firing feels terrible because its not actually " tap firing"
do u mean strafe to dodge bullets?
meaning they have to miss?
I thought strafing was also peaking angles better and just moving faster
Well I cant decide if they miss or not. i can only practice using a and d to peak
well I can say I wont be able to ever move and shot
Well I cant record anymore
wow even worse
I dont understand how to hold only a or d
and be able to move
like it becomes next to impossible to peak a corner without hittign a wal
I just keep walking sidwayus
well in deathmatch i am peaking everything no?
like any corner
could be a peak
Idk I normally get way more kills just playing regularly so idk
I really dont understand any of this
like if I do this in a game
i am gonna die
you gotta copy the strats
oh that was a while ago
tbh to improve u just gotta play more
make sure you have fun so you arent getting bored/tired
I play a game or two maybe most
today is probably the most i have played valo
yeah u just gotta play more
maybe find a duo if youre up for it
Thats insane
I have a duo
oh
mb if someone else already told u to play more
im not reading all that lol
No its just I cant play more then I already do
i mean you might get better over time just with practice but it might be hard at that slow pace
I was gold 1 in beta
I am still gold 1
urp
yep
I cant focus on all that
I have to focus on moving now with my aim when I a and d
Normally i just keep mouse at good level
and move with wasd
focus on cross hair placement
Idk how to focus on cross placement but also focus on strafing but also focus on head shots but also focus on positioning
Its too much
just dont worry about that stuff
itll come naturally
bruh
and you can work on strafing a bit if u want
but most of it is just playing tbh
thats my opinion tho
I have been playing since beta
do u play any other games?
Yep
Well not much recently
I was diamond in apex legends last season
I am 22
if you singled out valo for a couple weeks maybe days idk it might help you improve
I have
I dont play anything else then valo for last few weeks
how much have you been playing recently?
cuz its not gonna all click in a month
I play a game or three a day maybe
sometimes skip days
I have work and I workout
I normally only play between 7 and 9 ish

if you arent improving at all and need to you prob should single out one thing at a time
you can see my gmaes
What if I dont peak then
I like to just hold angles
you dont really need crosshair placement if you just play smart
i mean in much higher ranks maybe
what rank r u
but espec cuz u play omen
i dont play anymore but i was top 1.2k in late ep 4 i think
i just play ow now lol
are you playing around your util?
that can work as omen a lot
want me to stream a ranked game or something
u asked for recording
I assumed you werent gonna want live
i gotta go to sleep now but if u record a game i might be able to watch tmr
no i hate this buy with your team shit
I literlaly die and win but still cant buy next round
Ok I recorded a ranked game
We won 13 11
was pretty average game
https://youtu.be/bpgQZpG22UY here is ranked. I am going to work but HD should be done in like 40 mins
also realized after recording my voice doesnt come through
You said if I win
Okay well I like classic.
I dont understand how I full buy then
Like i already struggled so much in this game with money
should be buying util at the start
most people like the ghost / frenzy and a bit of util
i like doing 2 smokes with a ghost or frenzy depending on what im planning
I hate frenzy and ghost Is ok if I pick it uo
I normally buy util but I wont use any
shouldnt be full saving on the first pistol round because pistol round dictates who gets the lead in the 2nd round
yeah its fine if you prefer the classic
but i suggest getting used to them
should definitely be using your smokes
your the teams controller
should be smoking for your team not just yourself
I do smoke for team
where do i smoke for myself?
if you win first pistol round you get to buy in 2nd + get to bonus (use weapons from 2nd round) so you get a ton of money by round 3
im not talking about your video because i havent watched it
just giving general tips
Idk I probably wont budge on buying shit
I like my full buys
I dont like having a spectre
or a ghost
or anything else
unless I pick it up
If i save its a full save
if I buy its a full buy
If thats the only thing I am doing wrong then ill stay gold
but I gotta go now actually.
at that point your kind of just throwing really
Its not throwing
Normally in a game i full save a few rounds and then I can full buy myself most rounds
you shouldnt be full saving a pistol round or the round after if you do end up winning
this one game taking advice i had to request like 5 times
and could barely buy
I dont see how thats an advantage
Is that an aggressive smoke? I was just using a smoke guide like you guys said to look uo
you buying in pistol round is just a norm, if you win or lose that you wont even have enough for a full rifle buy anyways. and if you end up winning pistol you get to guarantee a 2nd round + better economy in the 4th and 5th
If i lose first and 2nd round with pistol i get to full buy third
anyway I need to go
okay
one thing i noticed a lot are you smokes arent deep enough
at 10:00 the hookah smoke and the round after with the shower smoke
you throwing the smoke further out helps them a lot more than yourself since they can use it to hide inside of it / take a bit of space
also about the saving and full buying thing, you really should be buying to increase your chances of winning at the start of the game
because the start of the game really says which team is gonna have an economy advantage for the first half
saw it there that you light bought a spectre along with your team light buying and you ended up winning against rifles
Yea thats what I typically do. i was trying out the guides for omen because the one guy said I should look up a smoke guide for where to place smokes. because you said my fracture smokes were all wrong
I can fix that
this is why I did that
tried these out that game
you can prob buy shield and all of your smokes
and you will still have classic first round but u bought
wow i bought spectre and armor second round
now on thrid I cant buy at all
and I still died without a kill to a pistol
stupid
bro I literally cant buy
most rounds
because I am not saving
uhhh
did you win first round?
yep
i mean youre not supposed to be able to buy third round if you do it correcrtly
so ig you did that right?
and you should only buy out with your team
and save with your team
no I want to full buy third round
uhh not really gonna work out if you won first round
Because I wasnt able to full buy 4th eaither
do you see the uhh
i was able to full buy 5th
but then 6th I couldnt
thing when u go into the buy thing
its smt about least amount of creds u can have next round
idc
if youre saving that should be at least 3900 every time
buh
if i save first and 2nd third i can full buy
I cant save eeveryround
you are literally sayiong to buy every round
no
what
first round buy ofc
second round buy only if u win first round
yep I did
third round dont buy unless u lost 1st round and saved second
and I wasnt able to buy 3rd or 4rth
then you didnt do it correctly lol
tahts why im saying
if u see the thing that says minimum creds next round or smt
I bought util and armor
idk i forgot what it says
first
won first
so then second I bought util spectre and armor
let me launch the gmae to find it
Util + armor first round
Util + armor + spectre second
so in your situation
you would look at the "min next round"
and make sure that at least says 3900 during round 3 buy
then you will be able to buy 4th round
every single time you save for a round that has to be at 3900 or higher
unless ur planning on doing smt funky
no u said buy with team
save with team
buy first
buy second
yes
you didnt tell me an amount i need
uhhh
i mean
you still are going to buy and save with team
a rifle+full shields is already 3900
util may add a bit but rn i dont think we need to focus on that
idk if you think saving and buying with the team means the same guns
but it doesnt
saving always means you need at least 3900 creds next round liek i said
and buying with the team is buying the most you can possibly buy
most likely full util+shield+rifle
nah this is literally stupid
I am just doing my own eco
yeah thats why you are gonna stay gold man
team game
if you dont care about improving go for it
but you made this to get out of gold
Sure and I buy and save with team but if my team buys a friggen spectre then I am saving
yes
my team buys a spectre to save I am using classic
usually buying a spectre means saving
are you NA @NanoAffect
yea so I dont want to buy a friggen spectre aswell
that means I need teammates who know eco
Or I get fucked
because if they buy every round
you dont buy the guns your teammates buy
so do I
you buy what you can afford
are you NA @NanoAffect
yes
can you play a game rn
ok but lets say I have 3200
I will save all of that
Except maybe util
thta would give you more than 3900 tho right?
you can afford to buy a bit
I am not buying spectre or ghost or anything just because my teammate buys a bulldog
can you play a game
rn
no because I also think about the next round after that
I always think I will lose the round
so I always can full buy the next round after that aswell
ok can you play a game
so i can see what u doing
I just did
or not rn
yes but with me
cranking90s#crank
no I am playing with a friend
bruh
ok
no discord
I sent
oh i just logged off
so youre able to play a game?
yes
one sec
i havent played in a decent amount of time
but im on an alt
wait are we able to q comp
i forgot what rank this acc is
No I am not queing for a ranked game
why not
because I dont waste ranekd games
bro not real
wouldnt even q comp with me
i'm not playing a ranked game while some ass is saying to do shit
you might as well stop updating this thread then
playing games with people in ranked is not what I need to do
Unrated is literally the same
definetly is not but ok
Literally is
being scared of comp or whatever youre going to call this is definetly not the solution
completely different
I play ranked when I want
right now I want to play yoru
play yoru in copm
?
I"VE PLAYED HIM ONCE
I AM NOT TAKING NEW SHIT INTOP RANKEd
I AM NOT INTING My GAMES
i mean i used to do it all the time
you can also go back to smokes
im just trying to help you fix your economy man
๐ญ
econemy is literally the same in unrated
it has zero effect on ranked
no point in not qing ranked tho
clearly you got other issues going on
could see into it more in comp
bruh u are literally just trying to throw my games
bro???
first off if a comp games matters that much to you smt is wrong and second i have been trying to help you for like days in this thread
๐ญ
bro I am 8 points off of a rank up
q comp and you will rank up
UNRATED IS THE SAME
IF U WANT TO HELP THEN OK
I AM NOT QUEING RANKED
WITH A RANDO
we can do like a 1v1
first
if it makes you feel better
No
Idc
ok...
I play with my duo
thats it
or alone
queueing with me would be the same as finding a random person on your team
but ig
just dont expect help if you arent gonna comply
bruh yea because some dude is forcing me to play ranked
is not complying
eco is the same in both modes
yes
it changed nothing
and i didnt force you
im not playing an entire game just to fix your economy man
im trying to look at all the issues at once
i know how to play the game man
i got hours
idc about your hours
idc about your rank
idc about anything
then stop asking for help????
I am trying to play unrated
k...
you dont warmup in a ranked game
what does that even mean
i dont warm up
i have never spent time doing warmups
got to top 1.2k doing that
idc what you got to
people do different shut
you just said i dont warmup in a ranked game???
idek man
are you ever going to q a ranked game with me or just anyone or should i just stop trying
how about you just stop trying to help
definetly not an answer but ok
also doesnt help that youre looking for help
๐คฃ
no I will not q a ranked game with anybody here
Ever
they can watch if they want
or they can play unrated if they want
also funny that u r 1.2k but ur 3900 doenst work for full buy
bro what ๐คฃ
3900 is a gun and armor
no util
yes
i buy util every round
you definetly said smt aobut not being even able to buy a gun
so i thoughty it would be a good place to start!
yea i am not skipping util
ok...
wow yea unrated is totally different then ranked
like what
I try just as hard in ranked and unrated
You made him leave
Him losing a buy round against pistols and then blaming it on our advice is insane
He left
The server
Yeah
Lol
i took yuour guys advice
and I am playing worse
then ever before
I have never lost so much in my life
before advice
after advice
like actually
wtf
Buying in first and second round is not changing anything
and holding a and d when peaking isnt giving me more kills or better headshots
I just end up peaking more then I would before
and die
I had a 60% wr to a 45%
All I wanted was advice on how to hit more headshots and frag better
instead I got a guy begging me to queue a ranked game with him and people telling me to buy first round
like why would I not just buy here
send a video of a comp match
I did
a new one i mean
t
Bruh
I dont record my games
and it takes like 2 hours to upload
does everyone record their games??
Also I dont think recording games and getting advice will help. Because then I know I am recording and I will do different stuff then normal
and then you guys will be like thats bad. and I will say " I was just tryign that out because I saw it online" instead of just playing normal
Or I will use less comms because I try not to yell at team when recording
there how about that
Its live
@Dumpling its live if u want to watch
I just dont want to keep uplaoding videos
buying on 2nd round practically guarantees you an extra free round.
bonusing is your team using the weapons they had / saved from the 2nd round giving you another chance to win with old weapons (you should be using as little amount of money as you can in the bonus).
if you end up winning bonus not only do you get the enemies teams rifles but you get the money from the fact you (practically) full saved in 3rd round.
the enemy team will also be poor, so now you have rifles against light buys / pistols since they forced 3rd round (your team as a whole now as a massive economy advantage).
if you end up losing the bonus (which is fine) you get to full buy on the 4th and 5th round.
also buying on the 3rd round (like your team is doing in that picture) is pretty bad because your team is practically giving free rifles to the guys that couldnt full buy (that neon for example).
so IDEALLY anything to do with your economy (saving, buy for next, forcing) should be communicated and done with your team
also buying 1st round is just to increase your chances at winning, you should really be trying to maximize your chances of winning each round
going classic (like you do) is completely fine just make sure you position yourself properly and buy smokes
personally if i was omen with a classic i would just go full utility
I bought smok
and armor
allows me to flash for my team + double smokes for my team
ye thats fine
i mean
but i died
i wouldnt say so
i just have AMD clipping software running in the background
it allows me to record and stuff too so im assuming thats what most others do
ill try finding you example of the A-D peak btw
maybe owra just explained it a bit roughly
I bought secodn round and died without kill again
but its mainly done because you can counter strafe easily and because your gun barrel doesnt stick out as much
with stuff like aim
i joined the thread a bit after you guys were talking about that so i didnt get to see it
i would say stuff like aim training, doing lots of deathmatches and just playing will be good
aim training such as aim labs which im sure you can find a ton of videos on good valorant playlists for it
give me a sec ill try finding a good movement vid, ill watch in a sec for a few mins
also clearing angles with A and D are a lot easier than W
I already watched some
The more I play the worse I get
I used to use aim training for apex and it didnt help me at all
Difference was I am actually good at apex
yeah i personally dont aim train AT ALL
and i would say my aim is fairly decent for the fact i dont touch the game that often as most
go to my stream
and u will see
oh i just watched that peak in B main btw
I pressed d
against the breach
and died
youre holding it
yea
I held d
i got the perfect vid (at least from what ive watched)
he instantly head tapped me
i guess he explained it pretty eh then
you know counter strafing right?
No i get the point of holding d and then hit a
and then shoot
yeah
youre supposed to pair that with something called slicing the pie
an angle clearing technique
clear one angle at a time instead of swinging into the unknown

The ULTIMATE PEEKING & MOVEMENT Guide | VALORANT 2023
Learn How to Properly MOVE and PEEK in VALORANT!
I go over the how to move in VALORANT and how to properly peek angles. Most new players overlook how to actually move valorant and it hurts their performance.
To get better movement you first need to understand that good movement is a coordination of where you look and how you walk. You need goo...
this was fairly good
i mainly watched the part that was tagged with movement and it was all fairly well explained
also you should turn on something in the stats settings
its called shooting error
turn that to graph it helps you a lot when you review your own movement
so you can see why your shot wasnt centered
thats just the crosshair
huh?
no not the moving crosshair
theres a graph that shows if you were slightly moving during your shot
it especially helps you see if your movement is good
should be in video settings
ill brb
the yellow line is good
blue = moving while shooting
i would of personally just went full armour tbh
your whole team was buying
besides your sova i think hes doing sheriff only which is just unlucky
I was tiold
to have 3900
someone here said that?
owra
or maybe bingus
idk
oh it was last round
nvm thats fine then
they said to have 3900 for next round
should be smoking for your team
your smokes regenerate dont be afraid to use a single one early
nope I was told again to wait for info
you had info that they were there, if they ended up pushing your team would of died
but somehow the neon didnt despite peaking into a few guys
this is what I deal with every game
also i personally would not go omen on this map since he only has 2 smokes so he cant cover all the main angles, tho you can stick to your comfort agents if you dont feel comfortable playing the others
teammates like this sova
ye thats just unfortunate
not much you can do
I legit cant play anything else other then omen
should try expanding your controller agent pool
controller is probably the one where you want to learn a bit of the others
I like omen
me too
id say hes my favourite out of all of them
but on fracture id say brimstone, viper and MAYBE harbor are good on it
should smoke deeper too
The only other character I would play is sova
ye thats fine
no need to rush it
i just suggest learning more over time
but just get the other mechanics down first because i think in lower elos mechanics > util usage
your smokes should be like this btw
the edge of the smoke thats closer to you should be on the exit of the part youre trying to smoke
nice try
your teams a bit poor here, i would say that you should ask them to save here but you have a throwing sova i dont think theres a point in trying to comm lol
I no joke get these guys
every game
usually its a bottom frag instalock duelist
should try getting a duo / trio
or some sage tryign to get duo carried
Yesterday i had a sage go 0 and 14
could friend some of the guys that are pretty chill / doing well in your games so you have someone you can rely on
soloq is just kind of bad in general
till you get to like high immo
i would assume so at least since thats when you start getting matched against radiants
I dont care about beinghigh rank
i mean thats fine
i was just saying
soloq is pretty bad at like iron - immo most of the time
dia-asc isnt too bad
I am fine with staying gold
I just want to top frag every game
i mean if that ends up happening youll probably end up in plat really fast
It used to be like that in silver
btw when you peeked that reyna you were shift peeking which is something you dont want to do at all
if you counter strafe properly you can move without making sound btw
its for spray aiming tho
what is?
crouching
gives better recoil
ye ik
crouching is ok
but counter strafing there is what im talking about
you peeked with shift so you were a slow target for her + she would have seen you first
lmao that was so bad
crouch spraying is another topic tho
you dont want to really be crouching that much unless youre 100% committed to a spray
but really it just makes you an easy target cuz youre like a sitting duck
but like see how buying with team and trying to peak shit
it jsut kills me
owra telling you to peek with A and D doesnt mean you should peek everything
he said holding is bad
not really
its a 50/50
he says that because theres something called peekers advantage
this video here tho
definitely watch it
its pretty good
literally have never playhed cypher
ye thats fine
should just experiment with new agents
and new tactics
i would suggest just putting your trips to watch the flank
I dont wnt to expirment in ranked
I also dont like any other characters then omen
its not just abilties
its like
looks
also a general rule of thumb when placing it is make sure youre placing it at head height when crouched
it just means they cant hop over it or duck under it
im gonna head off for now
I am going to keep losing my games
if you have any questions just send them here and ill probably answer them in a few hrs
until I hit silver
should stop caring about your shown rank tbh
just focus on improving your own mechanical skill
alright im gonna go
gl with the rest of your games
what a wonderful game
I wonder why this jett is bronze
hmmm
Troll one game
Smurf the next
100% avg wr
someone is being paid to boost
Smurfs are awesome
because I lose so much
same stats as me
is this good?
?
is what good
like head precenteage
i have 10%
11%
no its not good
:))
whats ur issue?
I am not top fragging every game
and I am starting to lose way more
Smurfs/Trolls/ Me not clutching
I literally have the most losses I have ever had in one session today
never played this bad in my life
I wouldn't say you're playing bad
Losing =/= playing bad
Losing means I am playing bad
I usually only lose once in a few days
No it doesn't
this is a typical day for me
Consistency is different for everyone, which means your team mates and the enemies are not always the same (they can be bad, they can be worst etc)
You're doing fine
I just got destroyed by a bronze 3
I am not fine
lol
Even some of the best players have days where they have loss streaks
Performance wise I mean
And I mean against your rank
so why have I lost 5 games today if I am not the reason
like
obviously I am not playing well
I think you need to give yourself more respect
There's people dropping 40 bombs and still losing. I wouldn't necessarily call them the problem. Sometimes the enemies are just better, sometimes your team isn't that good. You just straight up can't guarantee the same amount of wins each day because every player you run into is completely different
Do you have a nvidia / amd gpu by any chance?
yea
They come with clipping / instant replay features that allow you to record the last 30 seconds - 10 mins which might be good for reviewing your own clips that you're "unsure" of
I think watching your own clips really allows you to improve a lot
I usually only clip my highlights but I usually catch a mistake or two even though I got away with a few nice kills
Amd has amd relive or something and nvidia has shadowplay
You should have one of them and they aren't very taxing on your performance
great game

HOPW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO WIN THIS FGUCKING GAME
I GET THESE DUMB ASS FUCKING PLAYERS
EVERY GOD DAMN GAMe
OVER 20 ROUNDS AND NOT EVEN 10 KILLS
WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO
ALL DAYU
I CANT BE RESPONSIBLE AND CONTROL 5 CHARACTERS
I AM GETTING ZERO ADVICE THAT IS ACTUALY DOING ANYTHING
I HAVE NOW GOTTEN WORSE
AFTER THIS
AND I AM EXTREMLY FUCKING FURIATED THAT I AM LOSING THIS MUCH IN ONE DAY
THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORe
INSANE THAT THIS HAS DROPPED SO FUCKIONG MUCH
WOW I AM SO GLAD MY HS WENT UP 2% BUT IT RETURN I LOSE EVERY GAME

FULL BUYING EVERY ROUND
SMOKE DEEPER, BUY FIRST AND SECOND IF WIN, USE A and D to STRAFE FOR KILL
YEP
I WAS CARRYING BEFORE
NOPE
I AM GOING TO IRON
I AM DONE
WITH THIS FUCKING GAME
YEP
I AM TROLLING LITERALLY RIGHT NOW
ODIN ONLY
AND I JUST SPRAY
LIKE
WHAT IS THE POINT
OF TRYINg
YEA I TOOK UR ADVICE WHEN I WAS WINNING
AND NOW I LOSE
WHEN I TRY
I WAS DOING FINE BEFORE I ASKED
THEN WHY AM I LOSING MORE
YEP
ALL THE TIME
ALSO
MY MENTAL WAS FINE
BEFORE ASKING
BUT THEN I TRIED TO APPLY WHAT I WAS TOLD
INSTEAD I WENT ON THE LONGEST LOST STREAK SINCE PLAYING FROM BETA
no its not
actually
if I win'
thats all that I need
i am not getting better by losiong
my mind
if losing makes me better
I will play unrated
I dont want to be radiant
I dont even want to be diamond
I want to just be gold 3
no
I havea duo
I do
He is not good tho
wow the only game I won
is when I was trolling
the entire time
used zero comms
how the hell does that work?
troll entire game = win
try entire game = loss
its literally higher rank then me
i have no idea who that is
is he a pro or smthing
yea no idea
I dont watch valorant content
literally zero of my time outside the game is spent on it
I am not joking
okay? and? i have no clue what that means
I dont know any csgo players either lmfao
no
LOL
You're trying to improve but your mental is probably the worst I've ever seen of someone trying to go to the val discord to ask help on.
I didnt realize asking for help was going to make me lose games
The only players from valorant I know is Tenz Kyadea and Tarik
Right now you're talking passive aggresive. Is this how you talk to your teammates in-game?
because they are friends with OTV
how is that passive agressive?
Literally look at my match history
I have never lost this much before
Yo are u having fun playing valorant
no
Then quit
I am bored
Thats it
I am
Just quit
When I get another game to play
No point playing something ur not having fun with
I play this game with my friend
If u treat each match as a learning experience youll rank up
Thats how i did at least
If you talk like this from gold valorant ranked matches then you better take a mental reset.
Went from s3 to p2 in 1 act
I dont want to rankup tho
I like gold I just want to be better in giold
Just stop raging so much
What's the point of improving just to smurf in matches
For fun
I did it in league
I played silver games with like a 90% wr
and would stop at silver 1, 100lp
I would then scrim with diamonds in customs
for fun
You only play for yourself while playing a role that needs teammates the most
Play duelist at that point then.
r u saying that from my vods?
Well you literally donโt buy and opt to just pick up teammates guns
are you saying that because you watched my vods?
Becuase if so, you would know I actually dont do that
Because the original comment about buying stuff. is that I would save round 1 and round 2
After that
I buy
my Smokes I put in spots for pushing site
I dont use them for my own cover
I ping enemy positions and comm where people are and the dmg I do
I hate playing duelist
I try and coordinate teammates to hold sites and make plans
but the game is filled with no speakers or people who say stfu because they dont care
I try and play with my teammates
I even try and watch their corners or push with them if they die i can get the kill
whenever your team is saving you should at least have 3900 for next round as a good starter amount but it can fluctuate depending on how you play
Literally like 2 games ago I had a fade i was trying to tell them to entry with ult or watch flank when it was 2 of us and they said stfu ur annoying
I watched a bit of you vod
How come you donโt use any omen tps?
jus wondering
I am not good or comfortable just using my ult to go places
I normally use it to pick bomb up
or rotate to team
Nono
Like omen tp
Not ult
ok i cant read anymore i didnt know you guys sent like 500 msgs
His first ability
@NanoAffect can i play with you
ill do unrated
depends on the map
and i can help you with economy
depends on how I fela
He said he wonโt play with anyone
unrated only or smt
i think
Which is respectable
idk he wouldnt played ranked with me at least
but he was willing to play unranked a couple days ago
so i figured i would give it another shot now that i got time
go to 32 22
i use tp there
just depends on situation
mkmk
normally i use them to bait and i just die
is that a no @NanoAffect
I noticed you kind of play valorant like how a person would play cs go
because I played cs for like 5 years or something
wouldnt be suprised if bro blocked me lol
@NanoAffect can i play with you in unrated or no
Tbh ive played valorant since beta
oh well
valorant cant even load
tilted towers
yewa
this is my normal
well
i have less kills
In some rounds you don't buy shields at all even if you have like 5k
You mean 5k for next round?
like here
I WAS TOLD NOT TO VBUY
Thats the bonus round
They said
DONT BUY ON BONUS
yes but you already have 5k
even if you buy full shields
No
they said
win first
you can still afford a rifle shields and util
buy
win 2nd
3rd is bonus
^
look at the minimum next round
YEA I NORMALLY WOULD BUYH
you would normally buy full tho
you wont look at the minimum next round
Yea I would full buy
you'ed spend all your money then lose the round
bc your team is half buying
If you want to buy on a bonus
No just fuck off with this hsuit
make sure the minimum creds is on 3900
one person says to do soemthing
I do it
the next person sayhs not do to something
I do it
You aren't understanding it correctly
No
this is why
just fuck off
with money
You won't get better if you don't understand basic economy
ITS NOT UNDERSTANDING I DONT GET
ITS U ALL
TELLING SOMETHING DIFFERENT
OR TELLIGN 1/3 OF SHIt
AND THEN blAMING ME
YES
U ALL ARE
how so?
bingus already told you about the minimum round thing
you didn't listen to him
I did
I did though
and I could never buy
I would buy till i had 3900 for next round
You would if you followed the minimum next round
I AM
he stayed with his sheriff and bought no shields
I AM BUYING SECOND ROYUND
u sure?
Your skill level will skyrocket if you learn basic economy
you already have relatively good gamesense
Yes you see my gun i have
thats called
a sheriff
it costs 800
that was your gun last round
and u can even see
my mouse cursor go to my money
and look at the amount i have
You sure you can win a 1v1 against their reyna with sheriff and no shields?
I told you I was fucking done
I dont care about your money advice
I won 3 games today without listening to this shit
I ONLY PLAYED 3
THATS CRAZY
YES I USED TO HAVE 70% OVERALL
then why did u ask for help
BECAUSE I WANT TO TOP FRAG EVERY GAME
I WANT 100%
LEAGUE I HAVE 90%
Yea
the point is to climb to gold 2 or 3 with almost 100% wr
and then stop
wow
even if I spent 1000 on armor
i still die
because they have rifles on third round
ur so genius
Yep
and thanks for trying to only talk about eco
the entire fucking tikme
why did you get a marshal then?
because it was on the ground
I didnt buy it
literally your worst weapon
enemy had it
so i picked it up
You could've easily played corners then
Wow finally something someone has pointed out that could effect my gameplay thats not eco
Thank you
so positioning
I need to learn
something I can focus on
yes
on bonus rounds
abuse corners
Well I need more of a catch all thing. Is it positioning in general
or only on bonus rounds
there was so many other things pointed out ๐
only two things I remember is strafing and deeper smokes
both things I am working on
99% percent of this has been on the first 3 rounds of a game
And with strafing my crosshair placement became dogshit and he said to focus on crosshair placement more
why is that a weird smoke
You should also learn to manage your eco.
bruh no omen in pro
ye theres not much omen on lotus
ah. well lotus is MXM map so i see it a lot
well not a lot
Just the only time I actually watch a game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hcDpx7rqWw&ab_channel=NanoAffect if u want to help just type in the chat and Ill do whatever
Wow Reyna kinda busted
yo at 1:01:30 i think or something what is eco for
like
my team half buys
but I can full buy
wait
next round after that
1:03:30
you would want to buy as much as you can/want but still have at least 3900 creds for the next round
its like a save but you usually have a bit of money instead of like none
oh you mean like you can buy everything
yeah just buy as much as u can while still having 3900 left
they won both pistol and their buy tho
he was talking about buying on their bonus and im pretty sure most of them lived throughout the 2nd so they still had some guns left over
bruh
BRUH
im
im so mad
๐ญ
u heard omen clearly at 5:14
nt ๐ญ
@NanoAffect
watch woohoojins vod reviews
everything i saw was covered on woohoojins vods ngl
yoru killing you from spawn and reyna walking up spawn
I heard him TP nothing else
he actuall jumped up
no prob ๐
maybe just watch woohoojins vids he explains it very well ngl
Bro even replaying the clip all I hear is tp
There is no jump sound
Okay so I used volume booster at 600%
and he did not jump
He walked on dirt before I killed the reyna and then TP
also all his videos are just clickbait shit
There isnt anyway to know what it actually teaches
how do I lose 18 rr for this
Everyone in the game is higher rank then me
bruh why is 3 - 13 ;less then 11 13
This game makes ZERO sense
Played worse + loss worse = Less RP loss
Played Better + almost Win = More RP loss
I watched these two videos
but i dont think watching videos are helping me
why would a good player hold an angle like this?
In the positiong video it said its bad to hold close to walls
because enemy sees you before you see them
because hes holding the tiles peek
if they were peeking from the hard left then yeah they would see him first
also being close to the wall
i believe means he has a chance of making the enemy hit a wallbang hs instead
meaning he wont get 1 tapped by a vandal
buying light is fine
when i was talking about it i said try spending the least amount of money you can
if you buy light you can survive a hs from the phantom from really far back iirc
was there anything you didnt understand from the dreamwell video?
just make sure you listen mainly to the part at 1:52
not just for b long on bind but just general angle clearing and peeking
No its not that I dont understand it
its just that it doesnt help me when I am in game
how come?
Idk
I just dont learn from it I guess IDK
like
I understand it
but I dont learn it
It was the same In college
I gradutated with 3.6 GPA which is good. I understood everything. But now I dont remember anything. I never learnt anything I just understood
what
bruh why r u typing then
just unfollow post
just play regularly if u want to improve
like dont tilt
try gaining around 20-30 rr a day and then stop comping
play again the next day
Ive been playing since beta
I was gold 1 in beta
not regularly tho
realistically if u wanna rank up its like 5 comp games a day
give or take a few maybe
Aim isn't always the main reason your getting zero kills. It could be positioning and how you swing, I'd watch videos on people and compare it to your performance.
I just want to say. I ended gold 3
i went from 11% to 17%
Also for some reason, I took a break and came back better
no idea if anyone still follows this post
popped up at the top for me
but yeah thats really normal
having a break and coming back better is usually the case for many
happens to me all the time
sometimes you just need to take a break from games fr
bro why cant i say anything anywhere except threads
game is down
i think its improving tho, i had to update the game
Are you able to play?
nope
wait so they turn off discord while game is updating?
Yes, probably to avoid people spam pinging devs or being annoying
Yeah
Also, has your aim improved since this thread was created? If so, what did you do to improve it? @NanoAffect
this is crazy
^^
if u dont buy second round after winning ur just throwing
uhm, idk. Click heads? Tbh i actually have no idea
I think maybe I am peaking stuff better then before
Crouching less
You can see I went from 9% feet hits to 6%. also 11% hs to 17% hs
I don't use aim trainers or anything like that.
Ah okay, thanks
u still not buying second round win?
that stuff does not matter
as long as if u hit ur shots and 2 other teammates r buying
Do a crap ton of deathmatch sherriff only, thatโs how I got better hs
it does matter
if ur solo q
i solo q and do it all the time and win
and why would you give up the advantage
for an advantage on round 3 and 4
you can win more
you don't have an advantage though?
you do
how so?
because you can full buy round 3 and still have enough for next
rather than bonusing
enough to full buy for round 4?
yes
either full or light
depends how much util u buy and use
but then if you lose round 3
2*
and ur team buys round 2
then ur just hero buying
plus if you full buy round 3, you're just on equal grounds anyways
and if you buy round 2 and bonus, you'll have enough for full buy round 4 anyways
if you lose round 2 then u can destroy enemies econ round 3 and secure round 4
full buying round 3 while having enough for round 4 is better than bonusing
but you can practically guarentee round 2 by buying
but then youll lose round 3
round 3 is a bonus anyways??
if there are 2-3 teammates buying spectres already, it should be practically guaranteed
and its not like you've even got the advantage round 3
why lose bonus when u can win with a full buy>?
because you can win with bonus?
ur choosing to give up ur advantage in favor for full buying
which makes it even
less likely than winning with a full buy
theres a bigger advantage difference in full buy round 3 than having 2 people not buy on round 2
but why would you choose to give up the advantage?
if u buy round 2
bonus 3
and you can full buy 4 anyways
yea but then lose round 3
round 2 should be secured if u guys have 3 spectres
cause you're trying to damage the enemy economy for round 4
not if they're split between sites and facing a 5 man
or pushing defaults
1 spectre per site should be enough lol
assuming ur teammate is average
against 5 man and util? glhf
if 5 people aimlessly in a spectre should get atleast 2
and then they have to face the other 4 people
2 which have spectres
and should be an easy win
They have done this in pro games too
comp is an entirely different game from pro play
You should be learning from pro play, then youโll see how they use their economy which you could put to use in ranked
Doesnโt matter if itโs pro play or not
The guy you were arguing with was immortal
So he knows what heโs talking about
and assuming they dont buy at all on round 2, you can buy a ghost for an advantage against the opponents and still maintain an eco with full buy
but the difference is that in pro play, you have two teams of players who spend loads of time coordinating and playing together
of course, you can learn from strats and stuff
etc
but that doesn't mean that what might apply in pro play will apply in ranked
But it obviously works in immortal
Iโve seen it done in Diamond too
just because its done doesn't mean its optimal
some people are just demons and will make dumb shit work
Lately Iโve even seen people go full sherriff shield second round then full buy round 3 and 4
I mean this forum was mostly wasted on only discussing buying round 2. It literally didnt make a difference at all for me in ranking up
The only thing that actually helped was how to peak better
I learned not to stand close to walls and peak out. also how to wide swing stuff.
Also one of the biggest things i learned was from a 10 second clip of Tenz explaining cross hair placement for holding angles
yo
wsg
he said he keeps his crosshair out from the corner and when he sees any color change he just shoots
that isnt good
just seeing colors shouldnt make you shoot
you have to know when it is an enemy
that is why i use purple outlines
espiscally for viper ults and way easier to see imo
okay I am not asking for advice
I am saying what works for me
yes I am aswell
I am saying what works for me aswell
no ur saying what I do isnt good
imo it isnt
lol
IMO its advice from a proi
who r u?
why do u care who I am, I ain't even being disrespectful.
Also giving advice!
reyna main using purple outlines is crazy
๐ฅ
even before i mained reyna i used purple
I cant see shit with purple outlines ๐
someone give me a xbox 1 month gamepass
Really?
To me it is pretty easy to see
I mainly use it cause of viper ults tbh
reading this was fun
def found some good advice about economy and stuff, might try implementing it whenever I play
(im b2)
also any help on good util usage for skye and brim?
watch guides
woohoojin or something
fuck it bro just go shotgun only lol, youre omen for a reason
the hs rate means nothing
it lowers from opping, shotguns, or even spraying through smokes
and bodyshotting enemies who are one tap
but just try to literally loolk at their head when you shoot if ur tryna get more headshots and take ur time
he does agents guides too? or util guides?
bruh i made this post so long ago
I ended g3
also I play sova or random shit now
oop
how do i fix inconsistent aim
take your time when shooting
thats really all unless u wanna practce dm 24/7
u could also work on your crosshair placement if its not very good
ill be dead till then
how do I work on my crosshair placement?
i mean you just have to do dms and only focus on crosshair placement
imo ofc
itll come naturall;y after a while too
also my tracking is shit
idk if its my sens or me
sometimes ill have such good aim
and sometimes ill be the worst player
tbh i dont think you really need tracking in games like valornat
just good crosshair placement and that should be fine
there isnt really any scenarios where u gotta track the enemies
no like when im in a gunfight and the enemy is strafing
if you get what i mean
oh
u can use ur own movement instead of changing ur aim
that might help
like
instead of moving ur crosshair
strafe left and right to reallign
or you could be overcorrecting when strafing and moving ur crosshair
idk its kinda tough i would prob need to see how it ususally looks for u
Watch skillcapped on yt may it will help u
yeah i think thats what i do
i cant really record, already play on a shit laptop its hard getting 60fps
idk there isnt much u can do besides slowly teach yourself to fix it (maybe put the bots on strafe in practice range)
or u can do the thing where u dont move ur crosshair but u move laterally to correct your crosshair
you got a good mousepad / mouse?
No joke when he says take your time. It takes dying to get better. Knowing that you have time to actually just aim and then shoot. For me learning how to peak better was huge + crosshair placement is the biggest.
I dont "Train" my aim in anything except just playing the game.
So a tip Ive known since beta is that the boxs lying around the map are at head height and try and match your crosshair with something nearby.
so the boxes on the right are 2 boxs high. head height is only 1. so if you align your cursor to the middle you can keep it at head height.
office mouse, small mousepad
so where do i practice, in dm?
I mean most people say dm but I hate it
buying a mouse with a good sensor will help u a lot and a big mouse space also
my teammates were blaming me this match
how am i at fault
i wasnt even baiting
crosshair placement you can practice anywhere just by using objects
i was only the with comms
I only used DM to get used to strafing
i was healing and doing everything
dont mind toxic players
just mute them
they werent even talking
u can mute text chat
yeah i know
i was even trying to cheer them up
just dont let it get in ur head
but they weren't even trying to listen
Nah just dont even try talking in games like that
Its just bad mental
yeah
it'll just tilt u
I don't think i can buy anything new
Pro or YT says you need to com to win even if team isnt. It just ruins your mental though
it'll just be a waste of money (for now)
since i have to focus most of my time on studying now
if anything just type dmg you did to enemy and thats it
I see
if your team is talking and actually being good then sure
should I just start instalocking duelists now..
If you want to play duelist and you are good sure
but i mean if ur gonna do bad I wouldnt
I just fill most of the time
im decent at the game, sometimes i play very good but sometimes i play shit
Sentinal or Initiator
thats why i asked how to fix inconsistent aim
being able to peak is huge
ill try to take my time to aim for the head and then shoot
you dont need to one tap everyone
just try not to crouch
and aim
i unbound it
whenever i have it bind i just keep crouching
wym
knowing how to peak
like strafing
idk if i know how to peak correctly ngl
yeah so look for peaking/ strafing guides
no matter what i do
my aim is still shit
i cant even figure out the right sens for me now
you can try the aimlabs sens finder
might help you a bit
ive tried doing it
it gave me a sens above 1 in valo
wasn't playable at all
Tbh I find sens not that important. there isnt one sens that will just make you good
its pick something that feels comfortable and stick with it
I usually have dpi as 800 since its what I like for browsing internet and then adjust my ingame
I never change DPI
in game i use 0.3
it feels a little low you cant like turn and flick as hard but I play to line up my crosshair to their head and make smaller adjustments
