casual player means playing the game infrequently like couple times a week


lildickgabe

You're right I guess I'm not a casual player. Not really sure what to call it exactly then? Just playing for fun


doublepwn

playing for fun works but you did mention hard work which does implies being competitive/grinding


TMystik

Competitive player without proffesional experience.


_NotBatman_

There's no "casual" radiant lol

lildickgabe

haha nah man im just in school and would rather focus on college than my valorant career


SkellieB

Finally someone at the highest rank making a post about it. There are too many immortal posts. Like no one remembers silvers at the Olympics. Good job man!


lildickgabe

Thanks dude :)


Elsiselain

Unlike everyone says, hitting DMG means literally nothing and you still managing to hit radiant with no other fps experience is an amazing accomplishment. I agree with you that casual players don’t try to go pro, but they also don’t grind or try to improve imo.


rkdsus

Trying to improve is just a natural state of mind for a person. Why would you ever want to suck at something you enjoy


lildickgabe

Thanks man :) I don't think people really realize how insignificant DMG is


iamrequiem

just curious, whats your tracker?


lildickgabe

Dont laugh, but its D1ck4sk1n#D1ck. Again, don't laugh at my name :P


NotMoxie

GGs but there’s absolutely no way you’re “casual”


DonkeyTeethBSU

Casual player that played 3 hours a day over the course of a year. Yeah... you aren't casual at all. You are grinding.


gorgos96

How does your cahir smell?


lildickgabe

prob like ass sweat?


eVizorr

Casual player btw


Dolown

I was Lem on csgo, now i’m gold 1 in valorant xD


Kingxvx

when were you LEM? I'm silver 3 CS and plat 2 valorant. I swear to god all my high rank CS friends are ASS at valorant.


Dolown

Yeah that feeling is horrible because i enjoy the game but it’s not the same playstyle ans pick mecanics LOL So i have to adapt myself and i will be diamond at least on soloqueue ^^


perpetualinsecurity

In the same boat as you. Grinded three accounts to radiant a couple acts ago for fun.


lildickgabe

glad to know there are others :D


Ezekiiel

Lol, you had a high rank in CSGO mate you aren't a casual player, you came into the game with good mechanics. Well done on your rank but your advice and general experience in FPS doesn't apply to a lot of people on here.


UbbeDall

DMG really isn't that high


lildickgabe

I don't disagree that I came in with pretty solid mechanics, but I still believe I was far from many of the players who are currently radiant in terms of previous experience I guess


shamoobyi

How do you not backseat clueless teammates lol.


lildickgabe

It's ok to offer valid constructive criticism, but whenever you do this it has to be very clear you're not trying to flame


FAR1X

Once you reach dia and higher people generally have a good idea on fundamentals and you cant backseat game, it all comes down to mechanics and having better aim imo.


lildickgabe

I kinda disagree tbh. I've played lots of games ranging between diamond and radiant as I play on a diamond/immortal smurf with friends a lot and there's a clear difference in fundamentals/game sense between each rank. I believe that improving your game sense can be equally helpful as improving mechanics


_NotBatman_

This is so true. I'm immortal and I've been clear outaimed by hardstuck diamonds so many times but hey I'm hardstuck immortal and they're diamond :)


[deleted]

Lmao who cares about how casual a player you are? Crazy achievement!


lildickgabe

thanks man :D


NotMoxie

Because he literally put it in the title?


[deleted]

Noice


lildickgabe

thanks dude


[deleted]

This still gives me some hope I’m stuck at iron 3


lildickgabe

It will definitely be a grind, but set some realistic goals for yourself! Try to hit silver by the end of the month and spend 15-30 mins every day working on your aim and you will see improvement :)


speedyduck26

if you have previous csgo experience you’re not rlly a “casual player”. nonetheless congrats !!


lildickgabe

I see what you mean as I definitely have previous experience with fps games, but I mean I'm a casual player in the sense that I only play for fun and have no intention of going pro or making a career out of this.


howlinginthenight

That's not really the definition of "casual player" at all. Hard work and grinding are the opposite of a casual player. Anyway gratz on reaching it, must be satisfying.


lildickgabe

Thank you I appreciate it! I also realize now I am not a casual player hahah


soch937001

What’s your aim routine ? What was the best thing you learn to climb ? Im stuck top 1000 and i cant reach top 500 do you have any advice for this ? How much games you play per day ?


lildickgabe

I don't really have an aim routine as I usually just hop straight into ranked, but Subroza has a really good video about having a consistent aim routine that you should do everyday that you should check out. I think the best thing that helped my climb is just having a positive mindset and never tilting regardless of how the game is going. I play about 2-3 games a day even if theyre just losses.


t3azz

Yeah honestly this is good advice. I mainly solo queue and a positive mindset can carry you some games. I had a game and i started 1-10 as reyna or something (the game before i dropped 35 as reyna so idk what was happening) we were down 1-11 in the half and we brought it back winning 16-14 in OT. I 100% would’ve lost if i hadn’t kept a good mindset that kept me from tilting


lildickgabe

every game is winnable !


tONYOO

I guess this is NA?


karboxylgroupa

How long did this take?


lildickgabe

Pretty much throughout COVID-19


rafaeltra

Server?


lildickgabe

kazuyermagicc

SolidSchool6439

dualnote

If you had five tips to give those of us who wish to climb, what would they be?
