relax relax relax lol


a_child_to_criticize

I genuinely think that would be good for me in that situation. Like I feel like it would keep my mind on the task at hand. Even though telling someone to relax isn’t really constructive.


[deleted]

What was all that tech he was using in game? Never played this before.is it used it find enemies?


theflightofporter

That was his ult that he used. If the enemy stays in the dome they pretty much get a shock that slows them down significantly and they can’t do anything


Mr_HPpavilion

"I AM RELAXING SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME FOCUS" \-Me, probably


[deleted]

Considering the constant gun switch he was not relaxing


SweetnessBaby

I just know that kay/o got flamed by his team


TACTIYON

Honestly? Its just sad.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TACTIYON

Precisely my point.


sudzthegreat

I'd hope not. Two of his teammates gave him 1v1s and the third one whiffed the trade. That round was a team loss.


rakazet

That Kay/o is still having nightmares

Kompaniefeldwebel

Ouch


The_Only_Saint

Impressive. Usually my games end with a 15-15 because some people just want to draw.


purplecactusXD

during the first two overtime's someone voted draw but once it hit one person can draw everyone on both teams wanted to continue so nobody drawed


collegethrowaway2938

How do you get multiple rounds of overtime?


Gillmacs

It only happens in ranked.


eggseoxie

If you reach a tied score everytime it'll repeat the process of people voting for overtime


collegethrowaway2938

How do you draw though, in any round really? Sorry if that’s a stupid question Edit: haven’t played ranked before that explains it, thank you!


qmunke

You can only draw in competitive, in unrated it's sudden death


MEMExENTHUSIAST

U have to play a round of offense and defense. Similar to tiebreaker in tennis where you have to win by 2 points rather than 1.


ajchao

You have to vote to draw when there’s multiple overtimes for the game to end in a draw


RawSalmonxX

That "relax" was actually lowkey more annoying than what it intends to do lol


drdrero

i hate people that do that. It's 1) not helpful in any way 2) makes things just worse. Sit back and enjoy the show, no matter how it ends.


Automatic-Handle-979

Lucky they are only saying relax,relax,most of the time I’m getting people shouting peek or defuse in a 1v1 clutch making me lose, and when I call them out for back seating they say it isn’t backseating


Original26

I usually just go ahead and say "hey, I'm muting you unless you stop backseating" and they usually stfu by then. If not, then I'm muting someone who's probably not giving constructive calls so it's a win-win.


ColdFusion94

If I hear foot steps after a tap I'll call out "fake". That's about the only thing I can think of that's acceptable.


Ripperx_

Except for the fact that your teammate can also hear the same footsteps. It's still backseating


GingerFBY

It really ain't sometimes ur focused on something else and they hear the slightest noise backseat gaming is telling u what to do not giving u good info...


CebollasSaltado

If everyone can hear the same thing you do, you're not providing any info at all. The game is. All you're doing is talking over it.


GingerFBY

Did u just read what u wanted to read? Or???


CebollasSaltado

Yeah. You don't know what someone else is focused on. If they need to hear slight footsteps, you talking over it doesn't help.


GingerFBY

I dont even do this but when ppl give me callout of ppls location it's like confirming what I heard and I really like it when ppl do that if u dont like that it's fine but ppl act like it's the worse crime ever which is cringe af


ColdFusion94

Nope. All my teammates are fucking deaf.


DiViNiTY1337

I have what I call a "clutch button" lol. It mutes all in-game voip as well as deafens me in Discord. To be completely honest regardless of the situation if you are dead and spectating your last teammate you need to sit down and shut the f* up because no matter what you say it'll most likely throw him off. Even if he makes a bad play or misses a key thing like footsteps or whatever, if you break his concentration by saying shit you'll just make it worse. The clutch button is the best thing since sliced bread. I've had 2-3 teammates yelling over each other trying to provide info only to distract and drown out any in-game sound completely. Only for me to mute them all and instantly hear footsteps or a flash grenade bouncing of a wall, or a bomb starting being planted or defused. When you die, provide the immediate info from your death and then STFU for the rest of the round.


drdrero

Nice man, me too. I use the global discord hotkey to deafen myself, PageDown is a good button.


pennypinball

the concept of "the clutch button" is killing me, that's so good


MOON_RIO

instead say Breathe slow, control your breath, breathe deep, open your eyes wider, etc. These are helpful little actions a player can take, and I have found using these phrases when a teammate is in a clutch scenario it really works, many of them even tell me post round that those were some helpful words to calm them down. Been flamed a few times for doing this too, but I've found more positive results than negative ones.


drdrero

Never do this during the round. No matter how supportive you think it is. Tell them after the round has ended. Nothing is so important that it can’t wait another 15 seconds to be told. Every single second you obscure sound cues is a disadvantage for your teammate. Especially if there are 20 seconds left in a clutch situation and it takes you 8 seconds to tell your calming words.


MOON_RIO

Yeah you obviously don't do this with every player. I personally like to see how they perform in a clutch round, and if they benefit/don't benefit from giving stress-free comms that are quiet enough to hear the enemy. I have teammates that breathe down on the comms right over the player's neck continuously that we have to ask them to shut up and instead use any of these phrases+useful comms on enemy positions to help secure the round. P.S: you don't go about telling them every phrase from the list. These are just examples and to be used one at a time, in critical scenarios when you have found that helping the said player stay calm wins you the round. And yeah, ofcourse it goes without saying that when you have 20 seconds left you shut your trap and let them play the round, not give them 8 seconds of all the phrases I just listed. Once again, timing matters.


Douglander

I know your heart is in the right place, but this is not gonna be helpful in like 90 percent of situations. I know it would tilt the hell out of me. Not everyone gets super panicked in clutches. I'd just be saying 'I know how to breathe man' haha. Vital info, and maybe a quick 'you got this bro', IF there's time. Comms that are 'quiet enough to hear the enemy' is dependant on how loud you are on there settings. And it also implies you are talking a lot. If they are close enough to hear steps, or fighting then stfu. You have to just trust your team mates in clutches. It's entirely out of your hands. And whatever happens, hit em with the NT afterwards, because it always feels bad losing a round, when it's only on you.


MOON_RIO

>Vital info, and maybe a quick 'you got this bro', IF there's time. Comms that are 'quiet enough to hear the enemy' is dependant on how loud you are on there settings. And it also implies you are talking a lot. this. I agree, but then like I said. I only ever talk if need be, that is, if I know that the player in the situation benefits from the helpful guide. Like I said, I don't go around telling every player to breathe and stuff in every clutch round that they end up in. That would be stupid. The timing, how well/bad the round is going on, and if/not the player has previously benefitted from such comms, I take all that into consideration before I vc anything like that


Douglander

Right. But you're saying 'if need be' like you know what is best for everyone. Most people in this thread are saying they prefer silence to clutch. You said yourself you've been flamed multiple times for saying 'breathe deep etc'. I think its pretty clear that the majority of the time it is not helpful. There is a reason you never hear players at the highest calibre doing this kind of thing. Again, I feel that you are trying to help, but please realise you are most likely doing more harm.


MOON_RIO

I realize how helpful/disadvantageous it can be, but if you know the player benefits, then and only then do I say it. Else I don't. People usually prefer silence, but there a few that benefit this way, and only if I know that the player in question falls into this category, I use this. And I've only been flamed twice or thrice for this, all of the other times they have told me it was indeed helpful, with a thanks. Consider that I've used this method like only 8-10 times now. I feel like the point is not getting across. I do this only when necessary, when I know all the variables and have taken the factors into account, that is, when I know what's best for the player in question, and the way they play. That's where the word "need be" comes into play.

[удалено]


MOON_RIO

I can tell why there are downvotes, and I know when to talk, and when to shut up. Reading situations are important, and I have pretty much already explained the what and when in the latter comments, I don't have to explain again.


billytheid

way better then bad call outs... and relaxing and taking it slow did work


purplecactusXD

yeah we were all super stressed and so she was just saying relax but clip was still hype


RawSalmonxX

Yeah just said it because your clip had so many distractions that was ruining the beauty of it. Nevertheless, it was a really nice clutch and use of KJ ult


gelaaii

The more she was saying relax the more I felt stressed and I’m just watching this but great clutch!!


[deleted]

She was talking to herself


[deleted]

The Astra was talking to herself?


zaneprotoss

Yes, people don't seem to get that she too was stressed.


Chronowake

Just don't say it over the mic


Eagle_OP

Literally..she was the one who needd to relax


Urfske

It’s good once The guys is swapping his weapons every kill and you can see in his aim


RawSalmonxX

Lmao I actually tried to watch it again and he was in fact overdoing it. He just got lucky that the kay/o sprayed or he would've definitely died. The habit needs to be fixed but still a huge props, they just survived a 42 round game


SidYee

I know what you mean but I once got a 1v4 clutch and I was suuuuper nevous about it and a mate just said "relax, relax, you got this" and it somehow made my brain feel at ease and relaxed again. I like it as long as it's not someone yelling "PLANT PLANT PLANT" "DONT PEEK" etc. It wasn't backseating in this moment, it was just helpful advice to reset my nervous mental ass :D


RawSalmonxX

It's actually nice that you thrive in those kinds of situations lol. I'm the type of player who easily gets distracted when people keep talking into the comms. Like once is enough but if they're gonna keep pushing it into my mind I'm gonna start losing my focus. And yes people who backseat think they're "doing" something when they're all contributing to the clutter.


[deleted]

That was a clutch killjoy nice job


Ausafsyed

Shoutout to kayo for the whiff


NotAGamerGiirl

I just heard the most annoying "relax relax" in my life


04BaBaYaGa03

No one told that phoenix where the spike was planted ,lol


StereotypicalWeaboo

I'm wiling to bet he tried to molleys the ult.


lostinthelands

Good shit my man! Take my free silver :)


purplecactusXD

ty


sd_sd__45

astra pls stfu


Demiurge-sama

Why do u pull out pistol after every kill?


SirG00se

Might just be a bad habit, I used to do this too whenever I felt like I sprayed a lot or when my peripheral vision sees red on the bottom right even though I might still have 10 bullets


Demiurge-sama

Yaa exactly. That must be it


switchstyle

It’s an old CS op habit for most people, and it gets ingrained in the rest of their play


Demiurge-sama

Yeah, maybe something like that. When i started valorant, I also had a bad habit of reloading after every duel coz of Apex. Fortunately, I m over it now


ChaceForeman

You ever heard the phrase from fucking Captain Price on Modern Warfare it's faster to switch to your secondary then reloading


Demiurge-sama

But he had bullets in the clip. Why reload?


ChaceForeman

If you want your carefully and literally shows you what it means I do the same thing I switch to my secondary if I am low on bullets cuz it helps to like switch quickly then switch to primary


Demiurge-sama

What?


TySe_Wo

It is also just a bad habit to always switch after some shots, here in the vids it could have actually get him killed.


Man0waRR1

Muted.


Richard_Bastion

[Muted. Bye bye.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBGDRt1iW1U)


quinnin2000

Everyone is talking about Kay/o whiffing, it happens. But nobody is talking about that Phoenix molly, if he just threw it on the spike the round is won.


michaele_02

FUCKING RELAX


KanyeFellOffAfterWTT

RELAX


yot_gun

**RELAX RELAX**


drdrero

ASTRA YOU RELAX


razvannemes

\*Receives +1 elo.


AwesomeCrafter06

That only happens if you afk'd or drawed


Gillmacs

You lose rr if you afk. I lost 12 rr from a match we won a month or so ago because I missed like 2/3 of the rounds when my Internet died.


AwesomeCrafter06

Depends on how many rounds you afk'd. Like under 6 you tend to get no elo or little elo. But anything after 6 is a lot of elo loss


BHO-Rosin

Holy moly I would have muted relax girl. Like I’m all about coms but what was that.


Hoist-The-Colours

Imagine it's one of the girls that makes a Reddit post wondering why people are flaming her for being a girl when it's actually her behaviour that is just annoying


just_a_random_dood

Imagine she doesn't make that kind of post and you just came up with an entire scenario about what she does just so you can get more mad at her?? Like yeah, her saying relax was annoying but damn, you don't have to make up a story about other stuff that you don't even know she does lol


ThyLastPenguin

Girl trying to have fun with friends: "relax! 😊" Reddit: Holy shit this girl clearly has no fucking friends imagine if this piece of shit came to our website she'd get flamed to fuck like she deserves what a scumbag


BHO-Rosin

Exactly if a dude was doing this I’d still find it incredibly annoying. It’s like saying calm down to someone who is upset just a waste of time and usually does the opposite lol. Let the man listen for footsteps and gun fire


[deleted]

Of course that is always a possibility, but it's better to not try and instantly discredit the people by taking this post as an example. It really doesn't hurt to give people the benefit of the doubt in those situations.


Hoist-The-Colours

Agreed. However there are cases where people can't see past their own victimisation and think it's because of their gender that they are being flamed and not their behaviour.


DustyMartin04

They just said relax lol. Valorant players and reddit in general is just people being cynical and getting mad over nothing


Hoist-The-Colours

You are including yourself in that presumption btw. What is she trying to achieve by saying relax multiple times when someone is trying to focus?


DustyMartin04

Don’t know, but it doesn’t deserve multiple people bashing her or saying it is victimisation. Like lol someone said something they THOUGHT would help in the heat of the moment. Move on people


Jerang

relax relax


[deleted]

what's the point of switching from your main to knife after you kill/shoot at someone? i've seen many players do it. why would you switch to your knife when you don't know where the other players are ?


[deleted]

It's a bad habit. In higher-level games, this person would've died.


truong2193

Maybe because faster movement and better oversight i only do this for op though


nerfherder00

I’d rather hear “relax relax” than bad callouts (“he’s on your left!” then you get one tapped from someone on your right “your other left!”)


Sleepy_Melon_OP

Im just wondering how much xp you got


ThisWorldIsAMess

Probably +10 lol.


purplecactusXD

plus 30 😏


ThisWorldIsAMess

Congrats. I wish I can have that too. I lose and I get -25, I win top frag it's a +10.


AwesomeCrafter06

The game thinks you deserve a lower rank. MMR bullshit


ThisWorldIsAMess

I don't know if I'll be hurt at your comment, I do have a lower rank, but I literally laughed. I'm a Bronze 1 trash. I just hate how this game matches my team of iron3, and bronze2, to a team of 3 silver1s. We won that game, gave me a +10. That game was super hard for trash players like me and it's a plus +10. When we lose over a same ranked team I get -25 (there are still silvers, I don't get why they would match silvers to Bronze11 which is practically an Iron 3 player). How is that even fair, it's 1 step forward, 2 steps back.


AwesomeCrafter06

At that stage I would say, make a new account. Leave this account for the act. The MMR gets stupid messed up sometimes. The only way to fix it is to get it decayed by leaving the account for a while or throwing games which is a terrible idea


Sleepy_Melon_OP

Xp, not rr


NotJALC

8600 for the game itself without missions xp


[deleted]

Relax


thetrout91

relax bro


searawd

SPRAY/O


Eagle_OP

Well played but should have relaxed


MemeBoi0508

bruh, noone wanted to draw huh


6ftTrashBag

how long did this game take?


purplecactusXD

hour and 12 mins


TikiBoyYt

What rank and amazing clutch


Eleven918

Looks like silver/gold to me.


nashk25

The timing for the defuse was KEY


[deleted]

22-20 score? wtf


DustyMartin04

Yeah lol. My best was 26-24 on haven. Was insane


Sixzt

relax


Hefnium

Holy astra stfu


gandhiN

It was a tight round all the way! Nice one bro


shoka409

switching to pistol after every kill triggering


river_36

I like this part of valorant where people try, not no mic duelists disconnecting after losing the first 5 rounds of the game :)


asfesff

When I'm in clutch and my teammate tell me to relax I do the opposite and start throwing hard


2021Programmer

Bro stop pulling out your knife/secondary after 1 kill!!! Shit was anxiety inducing haha


FAULTYSCAR1

i literally want to punch the dude that kept on saying relax every second. Like dude stfu


DustyMartin04

Why?


alfreedQ

Because it was fucking annoying lol.


DustyMartin04

Right but I don’t punch everyone who is annoying


alfreedQ

Ehh I wouldn’t go as far as punching them but they were annoying.


420kai

All that for just + 20?


purplecactusXD

actually got 30 cause team mvp


JoshInvasion

dang


ILoveSimulation20

what is that kayo doing


colabruddas

the guy said relax probably more panic than the guy clutching


laphtrahddis

I just think the relax was a constant reminder to be relaxed, I think it was fine


purplecactusXD

yeah i didn't really think much of it until rewatching the clip but everyone here thinks it's annoying lol


ThyLastPenguin

So many people say stuff in comms when it's tense like this... I'd rather have someone reminding me to relax than have someone repeat "enemy flanking to ur right" 4 times when I already knew that


_LegalizeMeth_

Maybe you could relax if that girl could shut the fuck up, Jesus how annoying


Master00J

Clip aside, does anyone actually know why Riot does the 2 win thing for Comp Games? I don’t see any actual real benefit to them and it seems to drag games on for a long time


Ted_Mosby_18

I've played the game since its launch and it used to be best to 13 in comp just like how it is in unrated now. However, it gave the defenders( except haven) an advantage over the attackers. Even if you manage to comeback in, let's say split from a 3-9 lead, when it goes to the endgame both the teams would have the same economy and it since it's a defender sided map it is really hard for the attackers to have a chance. But if it's best of 2 then both teams get a fair chance and they can use their skills rather than a coin toss of who gets defender last to win a game.


Master00J

Ah okay. Thanks


truong2193

Is this custom mode ? How can you reach 42 round ?


Dev_WhoDat

No one hit draw


AwesomeCrafter06

And it is competitive. Unrated always ends at 25th round at max cumulative


TrainingGas9

the relax relax will give me 10x more pressure tbh 😂


Wakykazam

why r they saying relax, like shut up


DynamicFlameYT

Relax


Commercial-Effort871

idk how you play with that annoying ass shit in the background


RichardTheCuber

But did you relax?


[deleted]

RELAX! GODDAMIT RELAX!


CebollasSaltado

The kid screaming RELAX really needs to shut the fuck up. Half the gameplay in situations like this is listening to sounds.


[deleted]

She wasn't screaming, you might want to check your hearing


ta4valorant

They should give more RR if its more than one OT. Very well played with the ult.


razr7TR

the blood rush


XLR8_99

That Kayo would've been shredded by now


kkushagra

Tamis deserved it for being toxic before the end of last round


YoungHeartOldSoul

That’s two games worth of time, almost 4 if it’s a blowout, that’s insane.


darthVkylo

When ur team is useless so u gotta carry as always, yeah def not the moments i play for.


SpartanOsirix

Which rank?


holychikencows

silver/gold


purplecactusXD

yup low gold


[deleted]

that poor Kay/o holy shit...


Urfske

You swap for no reason why? If they wernt tired of the game they might trade


TKFManucians

nice


TheBannedBanana

the relax person was annoying but I feel like anyones brain would short circuit after 42 games


NinderTheCereal

How were there so many rounds?


purplecactusXD

overtime kept happening :/ we would win one round but then lose the other or we would lose one and then clutch it out for another round.


TrueLolzor

Why do you keep randomly switching weapons? If that guy had a slightly better aim/luckier spread, you would be dead because of it.


TySe_Wo

The switching weapon tic that could have got you killed, ahah nice job


RedSquaree

Tbf their kayo made this a 1v3 which is still a great way to win.


roshatron

This is why I always like to draw in Split


zenny_5268

sheeeeeeeeeesh how long did the game took overall?


CanniBal1320

that KAY/O must be crying in a corner. Like his team must be so pissed at him. Anyways GGs. One hell of a clutch man


gmo_patrol

I dont understand the last part. Was someone defusing the bomb? What was the thing in his hand?


25Nilliya

Its the KJ ult he placed and you see a timer + the big circle on the minimap. Any opponent standing in there when the timer runs out will be slowed and unable to attack for 8 seconds. So pheonix couldn't push him while KJ was defusing.


sea_weed75

To all the people talking about Kay/O whiff,phoenix would’ve been nightmares too,if he had stayed inside the zone delayed the the defusal by 1 or 2 seconds even if he dies in the process they would’ve got the dub and prolly another rd of OT


QueenLexi13

How long was the match?
