293 Replies
what do u struggle with
for me , use better equipment
before i got 60hz monitor with out gpu , i5 7400 , cheap mouse , and stuck bronze too
annd after i gott betterr monitor with 165hz , and new gpu and cpu , i got more fps like 300 aand rank up to gold 3
and dont forrget to pre aim at ccorner or where their entry
remember , better monitor and fps gives less latency
Train mechanics
You do this buy
Playing deathmatch working on crosshair placement and pre aim and peeking (focus mainly on cross hair placement as well as only do 1 at a time)
Warm up before your games
Play duelist imo, preferably Reyna
No filling
Aimlabs is also helpful, I recommend the voltaic benchmarks but there’s a lot of other play lists that are good as well, just grind them out for like 30 everyday if you can
Be confident in yourself
okok ive been looking to get a new monitor but my pc struggles to get just enough is taht ok?
also i do all that
its ok , juust buy nnew monitor and do some oc on cpu to get more fps
i think just play what agent you want and master it
If you can get more than 60 fps the problem is in your gameplay
Otherwise isn’t your fault
for high rank , morre fps needed
huh?
fps does not matter at all??
well it matters but having low fps does not mean u cant rank up
buying the best stuff or having the nicest pc/accessories does not magically make u better
forr higher ranks
i say
nott lower
in higher all about timing
more fps input , lesss latency
i peaked 358rr with 60fps
and ?
and a 60 hz monitor
having better equipment or 300 fps is not necessary
is necesssary
well if you have mooney
you can buy 540hz monnitor lol
tenz buy 540hz for a reason tho
not everyone has money 540 hz monitor is pointless for the normal joe u dont see the diff between 540 and 240. tenz can see the difference as he does this professionally bro like i said its not necessary i peaked immo3 358rr with 60 fps and a 60 hz dell monitor sitting on the floor
if you listen to interviews they use 240 hz on the international stage
still necessary for timing
no if u can run 60fps then that is more then enough
for fair team ffight
nope
okay
how did i reach immo3 then?
with 60fps
skill ofc
while sitting on the floor dont even have a gaming chair
??
👆
yeah skill is 10x more important then nice stuff or crazy pc
I reached imo 1 with only brain and 0 aim
Isn’t impossible to rank up with 60 fps
most csgo global eliets and faceit lvl 10 have shitty pc's just enough to run cs
i had a 1070 when i reached faceit lvl 10
huh? that does not even make sense?
huuh ?
they use 240hz to make it fair? how does that make sense for you?
to get ssame fps ofc
wdym
bro what are you on about?
all international stages have the same pc's same monitor's
yes
ik
region events also have the same pc's and same monitor's. pro players get 3 things they can take with them a mouse, keyboard and mousepad. and once they pick they have to give them to riot for storage so they can only be used on vct related events they dont get them back til end of champions
for fair gameplay
?
idk what you talkiinng about , ik 540 not necessary , but atleast 240hz is enough for savving money
bro I'm done with this conversation I'm not going to argue with someone on the internet. 540hz is absolutely pointless as 90% of people can not spot the difference. if you have money 240hz is still pointless as most people still don't spot the difference. 144hz-120hz is enough for any fps game and you start to see the difference also its not crazy expensive. 60fps is still more then enough to run valorant smoothly even though your refresh rate is slowed by like 0.1 second. everything still refreshes only difference is it will be pixeled for half a second longer
Skill issue tbh
amen
I am D3 with an i3 4150
If i can then anyone can
fr
Goat in discord and valo
Where does the 90% number come from btw
A very little minority own a 540hz monitor
just an estimate from somewhere on google
like today i make a decent amount of money i still see no point to buy a 540hz monitor i have tried it and i see no difference
Irrc less ( professional player who played for Loud ) reached radiant with 60 fps
thank u
also matsui i might be dumb but what the hell does irrc mean haha i have never really understood it
Me personally i think if u have 60 fps 100% of the time then its possible
But if they drop during gun fights and in some areas then nah u can't rly get above ascendant
Unless u get lucky and get carried
yeah nah i agree with that
stable 60 is enough
if u get frame drops then def consider upgrading
I personally get 30 fps on maps like fracture and heaven
Atleast on some parts of the maps
did u have quality to max or?
Why would i ever do that with a pc like mine
If I remember correctly
🫶
i dont know -_- some people think its better to play like it i will never uderstand it
thank uuu ❤️
I play on 800×600 with 80 res scale
Jesus
bruh 💀
I can't even see shit beyond 50 meters
u might actually be the goat
This made me laugh a lil but now I'm feeling bad about it
:val_KekwSob:
😭
I accept donations :val_Hampter:
:val_SadCat:
damnn
im ssure you can get rradiannt with neww equipment
ive seen a guy with a 360 hz monitor 5 ping viper v3 pro and literally everything good he was silver
thank god you arent buying into his bs
yo i dont have money ive gotten extremely good at games in roblox with my setup
ive been playing at 30 fps and quite possibly the worst setup overall
now i get pocket money so i save up
if you are struggling i used to own a coaching academy you can dm me i am willing to give u some tips and tricks on how to rank up understand what it is you are doing wrong
rn i wanna save up for a gtx 1660 r5 3600 build
im struggling alot
he hass no skill thenn
and neither do u 💀
yap
my skill inn gold tho
Chill he’s dead already
yeah that was kinda far ngl.
😭
staff can close this ticket
yo matsui whos that in your banner
ekko
I think 60 to 144hz was a big jump at least for me, and also a stable fps. It might’ve not been needed but it def made the game quality better
oh no trust me
you want valorant at least 120fps
i went from 75 to 240 and the change is phenomenal
and no i went from 240 to 500+ and its insance so you definitely need the fps every bit you can get
i saw a good 165 hz ips monitor for around 120 bucks gonna buy it for new years
kinda does if ur getting below 60
my friend was bronze on 30 fps then jumped to plat 1 in a month after she got a pc upgrade
how much fps do u get
around 120-150
if u get a 165 hz monitor while ur not pushing 165+ fps its useless
i play minecraft at 165+ fps
also the 120 hz ones are more expensive
well Minecraft isn't really a competitive game 😭
this is like the budget option
i want it to be smooth tho?
what are ur pc specs
its already smooth
hz isnt all that trust me
i jumped from 60 hz to 144 hz and its not all that
rx 580 and a xeon 2660 16 gb ddr4 ram
save money to upgrade ur actual pc first
ok :(
but at the end of the day its ur pc u can decide where to spend ur money first
i guess a pc is gonna be actually better
i can play more games at 60+ fps
to be fair thats not much of a jump altho the latency brings a massive diff
i jumped from 60hz to 165 and it was raelly good
60 hz to 144 is huge bro
wym
theres no difference between 144 and 165 😭😭
im using a 75 hz va rn idk
barely any difference
its not as big honestly
probably cus i went from 60 to 70 then to 120 and to 165 gradually
ive had friends that jumped from 144 to 240 that its the same
165 and 144 isnt all that different bro trust me😭😭
now im on 240 tho but its a big diff for me
specially since i play too many rythnm games 😭
which gpu and cpu do u wanna get eventually
its different, but alot of ppl cant see the diff
how much money do u have saved up
gtx 1660 r5 3600
4 dollers
wow amazing
whats ur peak rank
s1
got into there once got 40 kills deranked
do u solo queue or?
r u logged in on tracker
i cant fidn a duo :(\
r u logged in on valorant tracker
i wanna see ur stats
d1saster#0000
ur headshot % is high dayum
i think to get out of bronze silver gold u can't be solo queuing
even duo queuing is a 50/50
ye below 60 is bad
my friends suck or are immo
use the valorant lfg server
add anyone that plays good in ur games
whether its the enemy or teammate
literally noone
😭😭😭
they dont talk to me :(
which servers
do u play on
@яемдетей564
i think he might be on eu servers
he eu servers
thought so
probaly stockholm server
i forgot how to spell
how do i deal with this
sometimes they tend to have "bad internet connection" and other just tries to troll my match
Change roles, maybe
idk tho
Also fade is dog shit on low elo games
i think fades uits me
sorry
at least her prowler works
At least 1 util helps
well haunt works too
ult too
i got many intel off the enemy
haunt lineup got me their location then the ult got me their trails
prowler in
boom one die
wait why is fade dogshit in low elo anyway
eu
akshually im on tokyo
At least that's my perception of it. Most of its utilities don't last long, despite being useful both for finding enemies and breaking wires, there's no way for you to take advantage of your own information taken in time, and there's no way to expect your teammates to know what to do or act in the face of X information
for example in a simple scenario where you used her cats (yes, they are cats) to find a wire, however with the reactivation time of the wires you will not be able to reach them in time and break them
fr
different from sova, where you guarantee the breaking of a wire for yourself without needing a teammate
he can break that?
😭
with like shock darts?
YES
ok ok dont yell at me
sorry 😢
:D
honestly got destroyed so hard last game
and the one before that i was match mvp
also i just learned to jiggle peek
amazing i just remembered about it used it once
in low elo your best bet
is to learn raze
theyll always run away from your ult
you break trips
you play duelist
her kit is just
:chef_kiss:
Being good and playing as support in low elo is kinda a bad decision
Better thing is to play duel and make your way to better ranks
hz goes off frames if u have only 300 frames go for a 240 hz monitor goober
r5 sucks trust me I have it
ion have money for anything better
5 month
is not hardstuck.
maybe stuck but not hardstuck
What’s ur budget?
Depending on where you are there are probably better options especially if ur willing to use amd gpus
i hit ascendent on 60fps and office mouse, office keyboard and 60fps
periphs are not holding you back
And 60 fps
@яемдетей564
there is a VERY visible difference from 540hz to 240hz, its just that 240hz technology as of now has better antighosting and 240hz is good enough for pro play/ranked
144hz p good but I love coping :3
immortal on 60fps is possible, id say its much more fun tho with at LEAST 144hz
144hz good enough imo
but you can hit any rank under immo on 60
easily
Easily is crazy
if you're good enough
im talking about peripherals and their impact on holding you back
Well in that case radiant can be easily hit
If ur like zekken
no it cant becuase at that skill level you will be punished and lose many rounds due to your fps holding you back from correctly peeking/holding
Don’t matter how hard it is, if someone’s good enough it can be easy
no?
also low fps makes it harder to learn how to train mechanincs properly as you are generally more commited to gunfights and have a ~2+x slower reaction speed compared to a 240hz monitor
Yeah? Curry tested it he still made it mid frag in an all top radiant lobby
cuz he's curry
he has his fundamentals already well refined
So?
so?
You can already have fundamentals in any rank
It’s easily possible for him to hit rad on 60fps
okay im going to leave this, if you dont understand it its going to waste way too much of my time explaining this to you lol
then save longer
so, you mean that i cant get near the wire and break it while cypher holding site?
its low elo i dont even have to worry about cypher lurking
tap his head and he's dead
of course not directly breaking at the entrance
how about phoenix
that hood energy is strong
his ult can give intel when he die and i can use it to reveal informations
maybe aces if im lucky
and im pretty sure his flash is almost impossible to dodge if you do it fast enough
you're kinda wrong at some parts here
540hz isnt really pointless if you have sufficient fps to do its job, Tenz said he feel the differences when he had a 180hz jump, from 360hz monitor.
240hz is currently what the tournament use, because the technology hasnt gone to the mature point yet, they will shift to 540hz at some point in time to entertain the fans even more.
And not many people with 60hz monitor can reach immortal. They had it simply because thats how much fps they can handle for a cpu-intensive game like valorant, and insufficient balance/not planning to switch to a new pc.
Constant stuttering affects one's gameplay as well.
You said you got to peak immo 3 with a 60hz monitor, that means you had the veteran experiences. But are you playing on a constant 60 fps and above, no below?
price to performance a 540 is not worth just get a 240
he cant entry and his info is pretty limited
outside of his ult nothing much
ra
raze has boombot which can be acquired every round but pheonix needs to collect orbs to get his ult
yes
240hz wasnt as cheap when it first came out
as i said, new technology
if i ace and orb once
ult on next round
an ace is so situational youre telling me youre gonna ace every round and get the defuse and an orb
i can do it at least 4 times before switching side
every round
consistently
its not good info
im not saying pheonix is bad
still its a duelist
boom bot for info
raze had info but where you tryna shoot
nade to breaktrips
satchels to entry
waste nade
occasional ult to create space
satchel one kind of make sense
well just shoot the damn thing and stop making space
shes more consistent
ye ye
at this point im convinced none of the agent except for raze is useful
another situation is that they occasionally released a shit agent and said "theres our new initiator"
none of the agents were bad but you managed to convince me only raze is good
we bouta bring replication back then
its just sound like telling average jonas to entry instead of scanning for info, and telling temet to stop running and start tp across the map
If you can break a one way wire while cyphers holding the bombsite ur the goat
Don't listen to the guys saying get better equipment. I'm silver 3 playing on a crappy laptop that freezes, sometimes. I also play on hotspot. Therefore the only way to rank up is aim better
thats what im doing duh
silver 3 isn’t that high of a rank and saying “just aim better” isn’t good advice
periphs do have a impact on your gameplay
no mean to diss your rank only brought it up to not really helping validate your statement
although periphs do matter i believe it wont stop you from getting good until like ~plat when you have to incorporate higher level techniques
low elo player tend to hold backsite fyi
i dont have to worry about cypher holding the front section because he got no balls
unless hes ranked a bit higher then i might be more cautious
Idk you but I won’t run into a one way wire
I got no balls for this
Don’t wanna lose 3900 credits for a single wire
its low elo mate
its low elo
STILL, I fear them
who the hell have one way setup on low elo anyway
fear for unpredictable
oh friend, they have
you wont know what they are thinking if they dont have a brain to begin with
might start spamming from your back or just spray and pray
still hard stuck anyway
this is the problem
then get another initiator to do the job
While I’m trying to AD, all they do is crouch and spam
😭
80% of the time i played with a full team of initiator and they won
literally every pieces of information about enemy setup and their positions revealed
is astra mainable atm
i love playing her sm
it's.apretty high skill ceiling, but it's a game just play what you enjoy
What can I do with delay and teleporting enemies? 💀
nothing just that rank alone isnt enough to validate something unless you're extermely high
at least imo from a learning perspective
thats what i want
Well I reached silver 3 in 2 weeks playing those conditions by aim training, cus if I don't 1 tap I die. Therefore, if I had the right conditions I could've reached a higher rank. Also valorant is a shooter game. The whole point is to shoot and kill, if you can't do that you can't rank up. Especially if you're bronze
what if i got an ascendant in my match
dont think i can do it
every agent is mainable
each agent is released with a purpose, or in another word, they didnt release it just to be shit. Go ahead and main that astra
Ignore what other says, her util is useful on postplant and pre-plant
she could be brim without the molly and ult, and her ult divide the sections of the map
with a great util usage and setup, she is pretty strong
This is advice for bronze players that body shot and have horrible cross-hair placement, adjustment aim and more. Not for you
bro
im telling you now
play a duelist to get out of low elo
just instalock
who cares if theres 3
thats your teams fault
not yours
play raze since you get more rr based off performance and performance is based of off acs
you dont even need to know how to entry just know how to use util
simple
play phantom
aim at bodies
until you can get used to aiming for heads
in low elo you can run 4 duelists, 1 smoker and get to like gold icl
xdd
agent choice does not matter when the game is that chaotic
deadlock mains can leave
but yeah most other agents sure
fair enof
deadlock aint that bad
silver to high plat you can just about aim your way there
at least its usable
leave
deadlock can die
or be removed and i wouldnt care
i aint bias cuz im a fade main anyway
so basically aimlab your way up?
god bless i thought you were on the bottom ring of hell
tbh aimlab is just to raise the ceiling
i havent used it and my aims fine ig
poeple sayin fade sucks
theres a reason why reyna is a smurfs favorite
i dont know why
fade does not suck
then iso
good info agent
imo fade is just sova with no need for lineup
some maps need sova lineups
like haven = free kills
fade sucks in a way where she cant play off her own util
shes great
just hard to play off her own util
like breach
just have a duo and ur fine
you need a util combo to make breach's util efficient
for low elo? flash anywhere you want, you can flash A and they wont push B
bro deadlock is so good in high elo lobbies ydek
shes actually fire
especially on abyss
Idc what elo I hate deadlock
fade is acutally fine rn ngl
shes easy to play and her util if you can play her properly
honestly i had 5 duelist team and always won
with like a 13-7 lead
i have 30 percent hs wdym "get used to aiming at heads" i am used to it
1.18 kd
then how are you hardstuck just play more and on average you'll rank up if you keep getting that kd
also hs% is legit next to almost useless im pretty sure sinatraa hs% is like 15 or smth, he just shoots what he needs to shoot
i just hit my shots usually
sinatraa uses the ares
thats a;;
all
i mean im slowly climbing now
yeah, and people can use that or bucky or judge too it's not bad that their hs% is lower
64 rr
then get a duo
yes but he only uses ares and odin
he picks up more valuable weapons and drops them
my duos are either i3-b1 or radiant'
then go on LFG
fair point
his phantom and vandal are 26 and 29, which aren't high
isnt that channel dead tho
again, silver 3 is a low rank and i dont trust that you are properly using right mechanics compared to you just spraying bodies cuz it works in low elo
idk spraying bodies doesnt work for me
not at all
cuz its not good
yeah
its useful sometimes though
i prefer not to use it tbh
so ur just gonna 2 tap burst when someone is in almost point blank range?
ok if possible ill aim at the head
its easier for me
my crosshair was at head height anyways
get calm aim buddy + closer = easier headshot
not everyone needs it, calm aim might be the single most goofy take valorant players make every pro is gonna spray or run and gun at a certain range
you need calm aim buddy
bruh
idk i feel like calm aim refers to not shooting too fast before you yourself is ready (in my mind) instead of playing like you got tremors instanly shooting and flicking the second someone appears on your screen
i just got into lfg im now in asc elo
?
what lfg
fair, but even if people do this they might not look "calm", i usually see calm aim as being almost slow and still, other plays might have the time for target confirmation as well but look chaotic if that makes sense.
like thats what the kinds of clips i see of "calm aim" specifically
idk i got sent into some gankster thing
then i got invited to play i joined and we almost went into asc elo
never really watched montages tbh so i cant give my opinion on it but if they're taking 2 seconds to get onto the enemy anyone over the rank of gold and figure out that its not a good technique
my enemies are often quite easy but we get a braindead person in our team
like last game sage
absolutely outrageous
didnt use util once and got like 2 kills
dont focus on teammates, whats the point
like they're still and slow but hitting clean shots
i mean youre right but its just quite funny to me so i shared
if you try to tell them how to play the game, in around 20 minuites you'll never see them again, why not instead of focusing on them, you focused on improving yourself? once the match ends you'll keep the knowledge you learned
it was pretty much useless she didnt listen once im pretty sure that was a 6 yr old child on someones account
LOL
i get 13 year olds in my immo games
my 4 year old nephew did better tbh
nothing changes sadly
atleast he aims for the head
i let him play a swift he went like 5/10
honestly impressive
actually??
wtf
he saw me play a bit
im so proud
also he knows all util since i let him go into range and do things there
he played for quite a bit
for a 4 year old
30%hs rate is too high
it shows you dont try shooting through smokes, walls and boxes ect
er what
having anything lower or higher than 15-24%hs rate overall is a sign you dont bother with what i said
why lower
also this is a really bad metric
if lower than 15, you're either sinatraa or you do it TOO much
(or you like feet)
its really not though
it js shows how one really plays
and many other people can agree with what i said
okay but no, it isnt
it geuninley is tho
okay, so if someone has 60% accuracy with the vandal and hits heads consistently, and also shoots through crates, but has an average headshot accuracy of 30% becuase of it, does that mean that they dont shoot through blinds?
OH MY GOD I LOVE ASTRA SO MUCG
TTHIS AHENT IS THE EBST THING THAT HAPPENRD TO ME
theres a really high chance taht they rarey shoot through boxes smokes ect, many coahces + high rankers have talked abt this before
i do shoot
snoozefest
Do you shoot through boxes?
yeah why not
🖐️ 😮💨 🖐️
although i cant rlly tell if im good or bad at astra
also 84 rr rn
wp bro
30% is perfectly fine
40% is bad
even then 40% is not that bad
you check any top radiant right now its at 30%
30% rank #1
lowkey have better stats than whoever this is
almost
#2 is 27
#3 is 30
#4 is 28
#5 is 34
#6 is 32
#7 is 29
#8 is 29
im literally radiant..
fr...
is this sigma
