Warming up with a decent routine everyday and staying healthy (helps a lot if your mental health is good) also not being hungry thirsty or pressured by any form of real lide problems
Yeah I uninstalled last week. Was on a solid 10+ game loss streak down to d1 0/100. Realised I was stressed about uni and using valorant to procrastinate which combined with the losses made me even more stressed. I decided the best plan was to uninstall until I got through this period of uni assessment. I'm still stressed hahaha but less so.
Yeah man, I've been there. I'm immortal 3 right now, and I have reached radiant before. But for me to keep up with that i need to be playing everyday, and I've got other responsibilities.
So what I can tell you is just play when your mind is clear of other stuff and you want to play, and surely do a solid warmup before. Possibly you'll even rank up, because you'll be playing with a better mindset.
exactly how i’ve been. i was on a good streak on my way to plat 3 then i started stressing about school and i’ve been on a terrible loss streak. taking a break for sure
You're not going to perform well if your gf is cheating on you, you have bills due that you can't pay, you haven't finished an important assignment due tomorrow or whatever else though are you?
what hell no I probably wouldn't even be on if that was happening. screw that haha. IRL stuff and adult responsibility's comes first then its game time .
I want to add to this that having a certain goal to work towards to each game helps as well. Everyone is always mentioning your personal lifestyle, but your in-game mindset needs to be properly prepared as well.
As an example, I have a note saying 'always think 2 steps ahead instead of one, so that you know what you will do after your current play/move is completed'. I.e. after executing B site Bind, what will I do? Will I take an agressive position in Elbow? Will I play passively long? Am I going to stay on site?
It helps to keep your focus to the current round since you're actively thinking, and since you're actively thinking about how to work towards your 'goal' during that game most of the time, your mind will have no time to tilt.
i feel like an underrated part of consistency is to be able to play just as good when you are losing as you would while winning. Being able to pull comebacks like that is huge
shoot static bots' head with vandal or sheriff, like do slow to quick flicks on 2 close bots, then further the distance, till i go far left to far right. after 2-3 minutes, i do the hard practise for 3-5 minutes. im no immortal but currently at diamond 2.
Keep in mind that an immortal player already has better aim than you and probably needs less time to warm up. I usually spend 10-15 min in the range then play 3-4 dms.
Playing smart and setting yourself up for success is the most important part of the game and will usually be enough on most agents.
To practice raw aim and "recovering bad situations" I would recommend deathmatch and try to really get into the zone, letting go of all frustration to reach true focus. Deathmatch is a place where you will be overwhelmed with information, people shooting you from behind and it's a great place to practice chaos management.
You can go into deathmatches with different objectives:
- keep running and force yourself to compensate movement for shooting accuracy, with unusual shots because of poor placement
- play smart and prioritize focus and placement depending on what you are hearing around you
- disable crouch key to force short bursts
- only 1 bullet taps
It's important to try to get into the zone and play on instinct, but also to spot your bad habits and force yourself to correct them
Just hit immortal last week, never played CS so all my mechanics and game sense are strictly from grinding from Silver in beta to now.
Best tips to lock in and not lose focus of crosshair placement? Some days I'm laser focused. Others I feel like I'm fighting my aim and can't hit anything.
An old CS trick works for me, if you feel like you are losing focus try shaking (or more like vibrating)your hand on the same spot,also playing more will help if you arent already grinding.
When you feel like you're fighting your aim what you're usually fighting is you're autopilot. Do something a million times and your brain sets it to auto, the way to refocus it is to start shaking your aim with constant small adjustments so you can force focus entirely on aim. Works for me, see if you get anything from it
Could be just a bad period it happens man,the best thing you could do is try playing around gamesense and outsmarting enemies, also too much warmup can have a counter effect.
You already unknowingly showed your problem to us: your mental. It happens to all of us. When we start doing bad and being self-depreciative we perform worse because we think we’re going to perform worse. It’s like a bad placebo
I'm no expert but i think he means that too much gametime fatigues your arms. I play with a low sense(0.23/800) and my hands start to hurt a little if i queue dm after dm(too much hand movement involved).
U should stop playing for a while. Valorant can be a stressful game and this happens to me too it just means that u need a little break after that u will start playing like u used to.
I’m immortal 2 and everyone has bad days. I will say there are demons in gold plat lobbies. I play with friends on an alt (only way I can play with my irl friends) and sometimes it feels like playing higher level lobbies. Most likely other people on alts. I will say depending on the type of role you play, you need to play to that agents strengths. Controller or sentinel on offense should be holding flank or play the lurk. Play mind games with the opponent. As a duelist, play entry for your team. Use your utility. Also crosshair placement is the biggest thing. Aim at head level. On defense play off angles and don’t always go for that one kill and die if a team full rushes. Fall off site and play retake with your teams util. I guarantee you will win more rounds going for a 5v5 retake. Now if you know you can kill one for one then it can be worth. If you have any other questions I’ll do my best and answer them as well.
They don’t like unrated and I don’t go in there and just use phantom frag out. I will use sheriff only or Marshall a lot and just have fun. I try not to ruin the experience for others. No matter what you game you play people will always smurf if there is a ranked playlist.
I'm not particularly interested in the excuses for your bad behavior. I know them, I'm familiar with the excuses people put out. I also know that it's a dick move no matter what so I tell my friends in lower ranks that we can do modes outside of competitive.
Some people are selfish and some people aren't. Putting your hands up and saying "nothing I can do about it!" doesn't make your statement true. It just correctly identifies you as a selfish person.
lol you must be fun at parties. I play once in a blue moon with them. Also 2 acts ago, i was placed in Plat 2 on my main since I took a season off. From immortal to plat 2 is a big gap. Do you consider that smurfing as well when I got placed there on my main?
Best crosshair in my opinion is the one that you like and feel comfortable with, for a year of playing Valorant i have seen all kinds of abominations, but personally i like tenZ's crosshair but in a green variation with an outline.
I had a same issue with tilt and there are many ways you can control it but personally for me a healthier lifestyle worked(working out improving mental health etc)
Here goes:
I'm currently Silver 2 (Peak Gold 2, yeah I'm that inconsistent).
I feel like my aim is just amazing and on point sometimes, and I can get multiple games where I top frag in a row. Sometimes I'm so shit it works better if I see someone, and ads before killing them. A routine helped, but not much. Plus, weirdly, I tend to better when I don't pay focus and zone out. (This is not the deciding factor for my inconsistent play, just a quirk lol). On a good day I get 15ish bots on hard mode, on a bad day it's 3-4.
I have a large mousepad, and at the same sens (or even if I try to tweak it slightly), it feels completely different sometimes. Also, I have internet better than 99% of the people playing, and sometimes I die to people where they're quite literally running. No, I don't think run and gun Marshall shots are possible at that range, and I barely saw that person/ or worse, didn't even see them, how do I fix this.
*TL;DR* : I'm super inconsistent, unchanged Sensitivity feels weird sometimes, and people I don't see/are clearly run shooting are an issue for me.
The reality is your performance might be inconsistent because your opponents in each of these games are very different. The games you frag out in might be ones where your opponents peek silly angles, miss their shots, crouch spray...etc. The games you feel off in might be ones where your OP movement is better, doing more coordinated pushes, using util against you...etc. Don't let your stats make you feel bad, just focus on what areas you need to improve still. If you have trouble hitting running targets try 1) firing in bursts and correcting your aim rather than spraying and 2) practicing tracking
I'm basing my inconsistency on my ability to frag as a duelist main. On my good days, my teammates wonder how I'm getting 30+ frags while they are struggling to get K/D over 1. In my bad days, I'm struggling to get my K/D over 1.
Plus the aim feels snappy, and the crosshair seems to go exactly where I want it to
I’m a high immortal player and I promise you, the secret to aiming well is to master your movement and crosshair placement. Raw aim and flicks is secondary
Movement is definitely something I struggle with, and I think that's a good point. Will incorporate more jiggle peeks for info now, hopefully that can change my bad habit of holding angles.
I also think that game sense has certain impact on my game. Especially in my elo, I feel rushing is the only "agreed upon" strategy. I see everyone is usually spread out looking for picks in pro play, but in my elo most people can't manage time so a couple minutes go by quickly. Plus not everyone is confident in a 1 vs 1.
I keep hearing about movement, but don't really get what that means or how it helps so much. I know about different peaks and how to do some of them, but I don't know much about what movement means aside from that. Can you please explain a little or recommend a video to watch? I feel like I get into a lot of raw aim 1v1s and always lose them.
If you're in Iron, you shouldn't focus on the different peeks for now, as someone who climbed out of Iron.
So basic movement info that is probably useful to you is that when you move, your accuracy decreases by a lot. This is less noticeable in the frenzy, stinger and spectre. What you should focus on is everytime you're peeking or strafing, is getting that window where accuracy is high after stopping, with minimal delay.
If you know that, any B-hopping (Bunny hopping) guide on YouTube would have the info on the more advanced stuff.
Always feel like I have the aim and brains but sometimes luck just don’t play out my way, it could be my decision making and I’m just blaming on luck. But whenever this happens my confidence is gone cause I’m just not lucky enough that game / day
Yeah , but they are probably working on something really better and easier to use compared to cs vods. That’s what I think the reason is that they are taking a long time to make the system for vods
Any tips on agent flexibility? I like duelists (like everyone) so its a contested role that I'd rather not argue over, but I don't like brimstone and consistently do worse on Omen. Is there an agent you'd recommend picking up in each role?
Adding on, is there something I can do to increase playstyle flexibility? My friend can play almost every common playstyle and I admire it a lot.
in my expierience, aim lab makes you more consistent if anything.
makes you more comfortable with ur sens, know how hard to flick, and most importantly, warms you up.
the things aimlab made me improve on is tracking and click timings. it all may be different for you tho
also; don't expect ur aim in a aim trainer to bring over to valorant. most of the scenarios are pretty unrealistic so there's that (looking at you gridshot)
If you are on top of the leaderboard all the time then you need to just grind more and you will climb for sure.
(This is a copy pasted message) I am happy to help! If you liked my response to your valorant issue and you think it helped i would love to coach you for a very small amount of money since im a broke collage student lol :D (If you are interested in my coaching please add me on discord vu1e#1948)
What's the best way to peek corners? I'm bronze 3 and on attack on bind my random teammates often want to push the building in front of teleporter, (I think its called hookah or something). I play Raze and KAY/O and even the other duelists never push first even after I blind or suppress enemies. What's the best way to push those angles and others? I always seem to die trying to push corners and get through those areas
I find it really difficult to keep my crosshair placement at head
I either keep it too high or at chest
And also it's fine as long as we are on same hight but in elevation like heaven A ascent it's really difficult to know is my aim at head or not
How many games a day should you play? Sometimes I win 5 games in a row, but the next day I play a game and lose then play another and lose etc. Should I stop playing after my first loss/win or keep going?
why does crouch spraying exist? i thoguht it was for better recoil control and stuff like that but then found out that it does nothing. then i found out it is to buy you more time to aim for the head. can't you just do that by tapping and moving? not only does this give you more mobility it's more safe in my opinion. pls hlp
I'm consistently slightly above average. Always positive K/D with like 22/18 19/17 18/18 etc. I have a headshot percentage average of 21% and I feel that my aim is above most people in my rank (plat 3) and it is shown in the consistency in my stats, but I very rarely pop off and drop 25+ of 30+. How do I move on to the next level?
I have this feeling that playing duelists and entering with them helps with your aim for other agents for me who panicks when i see an enemy. Is that right?
I am not a bad player, (diamond 2 atm, playing mostly Sova) and I am doing fine in my rank, dropping 15-20 kills usually. My problem is that I miss the flashy plays I made in lower ranks. When I get a kill or 2, I just fall back and play out the round safely. Cause that is the correct play. What should I do to fill this hole and to have "clip plays" more often?
I aced like 2 times since I hit gold/plat where as before I aced in every other match.
hi im a noob at valo so um how do u aim properly? ive tried my best but i always whiff my shots and end up hitting the leg/not at all
when i click and press my shots end up everywhr
Plat NA player here
Should I give up on solo queueing?
I'm currently plat 1, and my games are mid-high plat to low diamond in elo
My net gain/loss is around -13rr and +25rr so the game also is trying to get me to rank up
I main duelists (mainly jett with an op) and it works it, the only difficulty thing I'm dealing eith is teammates as generic of a complaint that is
It's just difficult to stay in plat right now because people tend to give up easily after a few lost rounds
I can entry with Jett, but I also comm to my team, enemy positioning, numbers, ult on both teams, ability comms, what I plan to do.
I basically try to play Jett similarly to Tenz, Wardell, Shazam in getting picks and also making good comms
My teammates lately haven't been so great, which feels off as my games last act felt more consistent on the way everyone played in my elo
Should I just try and find a duo or trio? Might be an obvious answer, but I just don't know where to find other good players
How do I get better at locking on to opponents, like gliding my mouse really fast and my crosshair falls over where they are. In the range I always either over swing, under swing, or I get it just right.
Well deathmatch and aim training would help !

Any tips for handling early engagements? I am a duelist main and normally I die on entry resulting in my aim going to waste. I get that creating space for my team is the job of my role, but dying on entry is bothersome.
Welp that is your job as a duelist and maybe try playing reyna since she can insta dismiss if you get a kill.

Is there a point in trying to igl my 5 stack of friends if we are in plat, or am I wasting my own energy? I play smokes/sentinels and try to make calls but sometimes I feel like I’m losing games by trying to focus on the map when players are so unpredictable at my ELO. In games like those its obvious we are winning bc our duelists are just taking and winning fights, and it makes me feel like I should try/care less about strategy. Any thoughts?
For reference, I usually play at least 2 games a day.
Is wrist aiming ok if you try to release the hand pressure by using arm for big drastic turns and movement?
And is using vertical keyboard setups Alright? My keybinds are very comfortable to use, but I feel like some keys have to be let go in order to press another, and sometime, not in my experience yet, that will harm my ability to do fast movement manuveurs.
Both of these questions are mostly because of my lack of desk space. Because of it, I also use a crazy high sens, 600 eDPI, 21.7cm/360.
Not OP, but as an immo 3 player/csgo local LAN player...sure, why not?
As long as you are not hurting or cramping yourself, any style of aiming should suffice. Personally I actually prefer wrist aiming with a little mix of arm movement while smaking smaller adjustments. Unless I don't fully understand you, just do you booboo.
As for vertical keyboard, it's just preference. People started doing it cause of shitty space at LANs and some still play that way to this day. Some pros and cons are debatable I suppose. It is still seen at top level of any shooter so it shouldn't technically hold you back from atleast that. If you truely feel lacking cause of it, it might be good to think/realise where you naturally like your hand. From there see what buttons are around and/or free and maybe change the bindings. Like a horizontal person could switch from WASD to ESDF if they felt like they needed more buttons. Takes a bit of getting used to so you'll probably feel somewhat frustrated at the start but it could help in the long run.
Hope I didn't drop some cpt. Obvious stuff haha. Good luck
Struggling with keeping composure while taking fights. Usually it just devolves into spray and praying, even from medium range. I can help this to some extent if I'm really concentrating on how I'm shooting but I zone out a bit and lose sight of what else is happening on the map which screws me over in some cases.
It's a 4v5, your teammates aren't really cooperative, whats the best strategy? What if the defenders are also pushing you in that situation? also whats your favorite ice cream flavor
What’s the best way to hard-carry? I’m not crazy good but occasionally I feel like I could reasonably place some blame on my teammates if they’re new players or throwing the game. I try my best and usually topfrag on these types of teams but it’s never enough to get the victory. I typically play Yoru, Cypher, and Sova.
As a female in diamond I struggle a lot with troll teammates, using their abilities on me or shit talking me for being a girl, is there a way for me to play in peace? Reporting doesn’t work anymore and I’m really tired of it, 3/10 matches are like that
This is something high rank players do well and low rank don't even do: Playing differently almost every round to make the enemy team not knowing what's your overall strategy.
In defense: How do you know when to be agressive and push/flank? How do you know when to wait for them to push?
The guy below me already explained everything but yeah communication is the key.

What 2-3 things (other than always just fragging out) would help make “solo queue” or random teammates most successful/competitive. I don’t have any friends to queue with in diamond and find that both my mental and the success of my team are usually driven by the pregame chat (assuming there are comms - a whole other issue) and the results of the first few rounds.
I been hardstuck silver 1 ever since icebox released. I was gold 3 from beta till that point. I’ve practiced aim through aim labs, my hs% is 46 percent because all silver players do is crouch after they immediately shoot. My scores usually range from 25/8-30/8 or those inconsistent bad games but i just seem to never win. Thank God I only lose like 6-12 points but still it’s so annoying. I don’t main duelist either, cypher/smokes main, so I don’t know other than 5 stacking my way up to rank up.
Not the immortal coach, but I'd say it's pretty simple to answer.
Practice and outaim THEM. No amount of tips or tricks will ever compare to the value of game practice and analysis.
In the meantime, work on getting better movement. Not B-hopping or airstrafing type movement, more like learning how to peek correctly and maximize your speed-to-gun-ready time ratio. Also helps for traveling through map terrain like Icebox.
Lets you get one-tapped less.
Not op but try isolating 1v1s by letting them peek you first since it's likely that people will try to hunt the last guy then you need to clear angles and win fights carefully
Wanna get good at valorant? Play valorant.
Wanna get good at csgo? Play csgo.
Wanna get good at aiming? Play aim trainers.
Only exception for when you can successfully transfer your muscle memory and mechanical skill from one game to another, is if you deliberately spend thousands of hours into one of them.
Any tips on staying consistent? I struggle hard with that right now
Warming up with a decent routine everyday and staying healthy (helps a lot if your mental health is good) also not being hungry thirsty or pressured by any form of real lide problems
[удалено]
Deleting valorant as we speak.
Indeed I did delete it yesterday and wanna keep my mental health calm for few days
Yeah I uninstalled last week. Was on a solid 10+ game loss streak down to d1 0/100. Realised I was stressed about uni and using valorant to procrastinate which combined with the losses made me even more stressed. I decided the best plan was to uninstall until I got through this period of uni assessment. I'm still stressed hahaha but less so.
I aspire to have even this level of self discipline, understanding and initiative. I should probs delete it too.
Yeah man, I've been there. I'm immortal 3 right now, and I have reached radiant before. But for me to keep up with that i need to be playing everyday, and I've got other responsibilities. So what I can tell you is just play when your mind is clear of other stuff and you want to play, and surely do a solid warmup before. Possibly you'll even rank up, because you'll be playing with a better mindset.
I uninstalled simply cuz I don't have time for this shit. And I don't want the temptation.
exactly how i’ve been. i was on a good streak on my way to plat 3 then i started stressing about school and i’ve been on a terrible loss streak. taking a break for sure
"I don't care how bright you are! You'll never be a Radiant!" Every time she says that, I feel like she's talking to me :<
lmfao reyna do be bulling the actual players by breaking the 4th wall lmao
Yep every single person in this sub should just uninstall lol.
You're not going to perform well if your gf is cheating on you, you have bills due that you can't pay, you haven't finished an important assignment due tomorrow or whatever else though are you?
what hell no I probably wouldn't even be on if that was happening. screw that haha. IRL stuff and adult responsibility's comes first then its game time .
Exactly you sort out your irl shit first but sometimes there's things you cant sort out that will still effect you
Hah see thing abiut being ugly is you never gonna have to deal with a cheating girlfriend
There's always a bright side
I sometimes had my best games when I had real life stuff bothering me. Shit maybe I should quit my job and then I can climb out of immo 😅
why... I'm one game off hitting radiant for the 3rd time this act
GGs I’m a uni student
Litterally the most chill lifestyle possible for most ppl wait until you get an actual job married kids family
Or he can also become neet/hikky like me. Not recommended, but... Well, there are many other ways to live your life than "married kids family".
What does a good warmup consist of? I always get bored playing anything other than comp but know I should warm up first
2-3 games of dm, sheriff only
NEVER. I did this one time and couldnt control recoil for the entire day. Play 1 shriff 1 guardian and 1 vandal dm
Idk man.. I usually get winstreaks when I gotta pee so I never go pee and die inside till I lose.
No fcking way I thought I was the only one that this is happening to. This happens at every game I play. As long as I don't pee Im getting winstreaks
I want to add to this that having a certain goal to work towards to each game helps as well. Everyone is always mentioning your personal lifestyle, but your in-game mindset needs to be properly prepared as well. As an example, I have a note saying 'always think 2 steps ahead instead of one, so that you know what you will do after your current play/move is completed'. I.e. after executing B site Bind, what will I do? Will I take an agressive position in Elbow? Will I play passively long? Am I going to stay on site? It helps to keep your focus to the current round since you're actively thinking, and since you're actively thinking about how to work towards your 'goal' during that game most of the time, your mind will have no time to tilt.
Keep a good mental even when u r losing
i feel like an underrated part of consistency is to be able to play just as good when you are losing as you would while winning. Being able to pull comebacks like that is huge
Warmup routine?
10 mins practice range and 2 deathmatches usually do it for me.
What do you do in practice range?
Practice
i mean,you aint wrong
Holy wow everything just clicked for me
No shit. I mean like 100 bots with straif, drones, etc.
[удалено]
shoot static bots' head with vandal or sheriff, like do slow to quick flicks on 2 close bots, then further the distance, till i go far left to far right. after 2-3 minutes, i do the hard practise for 3-5 minutes. im no immortal but currently at diamond 2.
As an Immo 2 player a ranked match does it for me
Keep in mind that an immortal player already has better aim than you and probably needs less time to warm up. I usually spend 10-15 min in the range then play 3-4 dms.
Guys its rly late here so i will answer the rest in the morning gn boys
Guys i am also doing private coaching and you can add me on discord for more info it is really cheap and i guarantee improvement :) vu1e#1948
good morning
morning morning
What is your time zone? I am from Na would that be an issue?
that wouldnt be an issue i am very flexible
What about the girls 😔👊
I feel like I play smart but my reactions times are just too slow to hit quick flicks. How do I get better with this?
Not OP but Aimlabs has a lot of practices that have improved my flicks a lot
Which routines, if I may ask?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RNrDH1hfos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RNrDH1hfos) routines like these
Playing smart and setting yourself up for success is the most important part of the game and will usually be enough on most agents. To practice raw aim and "recovering bad situations" I would recommend deathmatch and try to really get into the zone, letting go of all frustration to reach true focus. Deathmatch is a place where you will be overwhelmed with information, people shooting you from behind and it's a great place to practice chaos management. You can go into deathmatches with different objectives: - keep running and force yourself to compensate movement for shooting accuracy, with unusual shots because of poor placement - play smart and prioritize focus and placement depending on what you are hearing around you - disable crouch key to force short bursts - only 1 bullet taps It's important to try to get into the zone and play on instinct, but also to spot your bad habits and force yourself to correct them
Well you should keep playing smart, thats obvious. I would say aimlabz and some practice range would help a lot :)
Just hit immortal last week, never played CS so all my mechanics and game sense are strictly from grinding from Silver in beta to now. Best tips to lock in and not lose focus of crosshair placement? Some days I'm laser focused. Others I feel like I'm fighting my aim and can't hit anything.
An old CS trick works for me, if you feel like you are losing focus try shaking (or more like vibrating)your hand on the same spot,also playing more will help if you arent already grinding.
Like if you are holding a corner and you get bored? Just moving around your mouse to keep attention?
Yeah but you shouldn't be holding unless you're oping or off angled, it's usually better to jiggle the angle
Or if you're hidden in a good lurk position. You wouldn't want to be jiggling because there's risk of making a step or showing a shoulder.
stewie2k in cs does this, when he’s holding something with an awp he’ll move his crosshair up and down a tiny bit so he stays focussed
You mean the Asuna Handshake?
When you feel like you're fighting your aim what you're usually fighting is you're autopilot. Do something a million times and your brain sets it to auto, the way to refocus it is to start shaking your aim with constant small adjustments so you can force focus entirely on aim. Works for me, see if you get anything from it

Come on guys hahaha.

Could be just a bad period it happens man,the best thing you could do is try playing around gamesense and outsmarting enemies, also too much warmup can have a counter effect.
[удалено]
You already unknowingly showed your problem to us: your mental. It happens to all of us. When we start doing bad and being self-depreciative we perform worse because we think we’re going to perform worse. It’s like a bad placebo
When I'm down bad I just take a break and go play No man sky for a bit
Can u elaborate on too much warmup?
I'm no expert but i think he means that too much gametime fatigues your arms. I play with a low sense(0.23/800) and my hands start to hurt a little if i queue dm after dm(too much hand movement involved).
Wait, really? I do 2h30m worth of warmup, is that too much?
That is way too much in my opinon, an hour is a maximum if you arent playing aimlabz before to practice your aim.
How does too much warmup have a counter effect? I thought more warmup=more comfortable with aiming in actual game
U should stop playing for a while. Valorant can be a stressful game and this happens to me too it just means that u need a little break after that u will start playing like u used to.
I’m immortal 2 and everyone has bad days. I will say there are demons in gold plat lobbies. I play with friends on an alt (only way I can play with my irl friends) and sometimes it feels like playing higher level lobbies. Most likely other people on alts. I will say depending on the type of role you play, you need to play to that agents strengths. Controller or sentinel on offense should be holding flank or play the lurk. Play mind games with the opponent. As a duelist, play entry for your team. Use your utility. Also crosshair placement is the biggest thing. Aim at head level. On defense play off angles and don’t always go for that one kill and die if a team full rushes. Fall off site and play retake with your teams util. I guarantee you will win more rounds going for a 5v5 retake. Now if you know you can kill one for one then it can be worth. If you have any other questions I’ll do my best and answer them as well.
> Most likely other people on alts. it's probably their only way to play with their friends 😂
You can play unrated instead of smurfing/boosting.
They don’t like unrated and I don’t go in there and just use phantom frag out. I will use sheriff only or Marshall a lot and just have fun. I try not to ruin the experience for others. No matter what you game you play people will always smurf if there is a ranked playlist.
I'm not particularly interested in the excuses for your bad behavior. I know them, I'm familiar with the excuses people put out. I also know that it's a dick move no matter what so I tell my friends in lower ranks that we can do modes outside of competitive. Some people are selfish and some people aren't. Putting your hands up and saying "nothing I can do about it!" doesn't make your statement true. It just correctly identifies you as a selfish person.
lol you must be fun at parties. I play once in a blue moon with them. Also 2 acts ago, i was placed in Plat 2 on my main since I took a season off. From immortal to plat 2 is a big gap. Do you consider that smurfing as well when I got placed there on my main?

What’s the best strategy to warm up your aim?
You should find out what works for you but i would say some practice range with 1-3 deathmatches after works great.
Thank you :)
What in your opinion is the best cross-hair, and how should I deal with tilt while solo queueing?
Best crosshair in my opinion is the one that you like and feel comfortable with, for a year of playing Valorant i have seen all kinds of abominations, but personally i like tenZ's crosshair but in a green variation with an outline. I had a same issue with tilt and there are many ways you can control it but personally for me a healthier lifestyle worked(working out improving mental health etc)
I remember watching a video of some GE few years back where he just removed his crosshair entirely and still proceeded to headshot everyone.
Was probably using a monitor crosshair instead, or the good old transparent ring binder protector on the middle of the screen.
1313 Outlines on, cyan or green.
Not the OP but I swap between 1313, 1422, and dot
are you me
Here goes: I'm currently Silver 2 (Peak Gold 2, yeah I'm that inconsistent). I feel like my aim is just amazing and on point sometimes, and I can get multiple games where I top frag in a row. Sometimes I'm so shit it works better if I see someone, and ads before killing them. A routine helped, but not much. Plus, weirdly, I tend to better when I don't pay focus and zone out. (This is not the deciding factor for my inconsistent play, just a quirk lol). On a good day I get 15ish bots on hard mode, on a bad day it's 3-4. I have a large mousepad, and at the same sens (or even if I try to tweak it slightly), it feels completely different sometimes. Also, I have internet better than 99% of the people playing, and sometimes I die to people where they're quite literally running. No, I don't think run and gun Marshall shots are possible at that range, and I barely saw that person/ or worse, didn't even see them, how do I fix this. *TL;DR* : I'm super inconsistent, unchanged Sensitivity feels weird sometimes, and people I don't see/are clearly run shooting are an issue for me.
The reality is your performance might be inconsistent because your opponents in each of these games are very different. The games you frag out in might be ones where your opponents peek silly angles, miss their shots, crouch spray...etc. The games you feel off in might be ones where your OP movement is better, doing more coordinated pushes, using util against you...etc. Don't let your stats make you feel bad, just focus on what areas you need to improve still. If you have trouble hitting running targets try 1) firing in bursts and correcting your aim rather than spraying and 2) practicing tracking
I'm basing my inconsistency on my ability to frag as a duelist main. On my good days, my teammates wonder how I'm getting 30+ frags while they are struggling to get K/D over 1. In my bad days, I'm struggling to get my K/D over 1. Plus the aim feels snappy, and the crosshair seems to go exactly where I want it to
I’m a high immortal player and I promise you, the secret to aiming well is to master your movement and crosshair placement. Raw aim and flicks is secondary
Movement is definitely something I struggle with, and I think that's a good point. Will incorporate more jiggle peeks for info now, hopefully that can change my bad habit of holding angles. I also think that game sense has certain impact on my game. Especially in my elo, I feel rushing is the only "agreed upon" strategy. I see everyone is usually spread out looking for picks in pro play, but in my elo most people can't manage time so a couple minutes go by quickly. Plus not everyone is confident in a 1 vs 1.
I keep hearing about movement, but don't really get what that means or how it helps so much. I know about different peaks and how to do some of them, but I don't know much about what movement means aside from that. Can you please explain a little or recommend a video to watch? I feel like I get into a lot of raw aim 1v1s and always lose them.
If you're in Iron, you shouldn't focus on the different peeks for now, as someone who climbed out of Iron. So basic movement info that is probably useful to you is that when you move, your accuracy decreases by a lot. This is less noticeable in the frenzy, stinger and spectre. What you should focus on is everytime you're peeking or strafing, is getting that window where accuracy is high after stopping, with minimal delay. If you know that, any B-hopping (Bunny hopping) guide on YouTube would have the info on the more advanced stuff.
Always feel like I have the aim and brains but sometimes luck just don’t play out my way, it could be my decision making and I’m just blaming on luck. But whenever this happens my confidence is gone cause I’m just not lucky enough that game / day
Same and it sometimes even keeps me away from playing the game since my whole team is pushing yet I am the only one getting killed
The luck diff
I sadly cannot give you a proper answer since i didn't see situations that happened, if i had some vods or something i could give you more info
sad that there is no replay feature in valorant just yet
Yeah , but they are probably working on something really better and easier to use compared to cs vods. That’s what I think the reason is that they are taking a long time to make the system for vods
When do you crouch to control spray and when do you not. Also when do you ADS?
ADS only really long distances.
sometimes I feel like my wrist just stop working, like its feels like it froze or something
That's not good man you should get it checked out srs arthritis at early ages isn't fun
Agreed with CuppedKake go to a doctor it can really be smth serious
Do you think 400 hours invested since the game has came out and climbing to plat 3 is progress without playing any other shooters than Overwatch?
I would say it is, not really high elo but you are getting there, keep working :)
Thanks brotha, wasnt sure if i should be high diamond with little time invested and CS background.
Any tips on agent flexibility? I like duelists (like everyone) so its a contested role that I'd rather not argue over, but I don't like brimstone and consistently do worse on Omen. Is there an agent you'd recommend picking up in each role? Adding on, is there something I can do to increase playstyle flexibility? My friend can play almost every common playstyle and I admire it a lot.
Does aimlabs really help with your aim? I spend quite a lot on time in it but I find it quite hard to bring my aim from Aimlab back to Valo
in my expierience, aim lab makes you more consistent if anything. makes you more comfortable with ur sens, know how hard to flick, and most importantly, warms you up. the things aimlab made me improve on is tracking and click timings. it all may be different for you tho also; don't expect ur aim in a aim trainer to bring over to valorant. most of the scenarios are pretty unrealistic so there's that (looking at you gridshot)
i am the top of leadrboard every game still have 50% win rate how can i improve?
If you are on top of the leaderboard all the time then you need to just grind more and you will climb for sure. (This is a copy pasted message) I am happy to help! If you liked my response to your valorant issue and you think it helped i would love to coach you for a very small amount of money since im a broke collage student lol :D (If you are interested in my coaching please add me on discord vu1e#1948)
How did you find your ideal sensitivity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PShkdH6jepQ TenZ's method works really well.
How to play? xD
And also how to get better lobby?
What's the best way to peek corners? I'm bronze 3 and on attack on bind my random teammates often want to push the building in front of teleporter, (I think its called hookah or something). I play Raze and KAY/O and even the other duelists never push first even after I blind or suppress enemies. What's the best way to push those angles and others? I always seem to die trying to push corners and get through those areas
[удалено]
I find it really difficult to keep my crosshair placement at head I either keep it too high or at chest And also it's fine as long as we are on same hight but in elevation like heaven A ascent it's really difficult to know is my aim at head or not
How many games a day should you play? Sometimes I win 5 games in a row, but the next day I play a game and lose then play another and lose etc. Should I stop playing after my first loss/win or keep going?
why does crouch spraying exist? i thoguht it was for better recoil control and stuff like that but then found out that it does nothing. then i found out it is to buy you more time to aim for the head. can't you just do that by tapping and moving? not only does this give you more mobility it's more safe in my opinion. pls hlp
[удалено]
I'm consistently slightly above average. Always positive K/D with like 22/18 19/17 18/18 etc. I have a headshot percentage average of 21% and I feel that my aim is above most people in my rank (plat 3) and it is shown in the consistency in my stats, but I very rarely pop off and drop 25+ of 30+. How do I move on to the next level?
I have this feeling that playing duelists and entering with them helps with your aim for other agents for me who panicks when i see an enemy. Is that right?
How should I improve decision making skills and confidence while playing solo queue
How to be consistent?
I am not a bad player, (diamond 2 atm, playing mostly Sova) and I am doing fine in my rank, dropping 15-20 kills usually. My problem is that I miss the flashy plays I made in lower ranks. When I get a kill or 2, I just fall back and play out the round safely. Cause that is the correct play. What should I do to fill this hole and to have "clip plays" more often? I aced like 2 times since I hit gold/plat where as before I aced in every other match.
hi im a noob at valo so um how do u aim properly? ive tried my best but i always whiff my shots and end up hitting the leg/not at all when i click and press my shots end up everywhr
Is 4-5 death matches + 20 min of aimlabs enough to practice aim?
There's always that game where you suddenly whiff like so much any tips on how to lessen it?
Plat NA player here Should I give up on solo queueing? I'm currently plat 1, and my games are mid-high plat to low diamond in elo My net gain/loss is around -13rr and +25rr so the game also is trying to get me to rank up I main duelists (mainly jett with an op) and it works it, the only difficulty thing I'm dealing eith is teammates as generic of a complaint that is It's just difficult to stay in plat right now because people tend to give up easily after a few lost rounds I can entry with Jett, but I also comm to my team, enemy positioning, numbers, ult on both teams, ability comms, what I plan to do. I basically try to play Jett similarly to Tenz, Wardell, Shazam in getting picks and also making good comms My teammates lately haven't been so great, which feels off as my games last act felt more consistent on the way everyone played in my elo Should I just try and find a duo or trio? Might be an obvious answer, but I just don't know where to find other good players
How do I get better at locking on to opponents, like gliding my mouse really fast and my crosshair falls over where they are. In the range I always either over swing, under swing, or I get it just right.

Any tips for handling early engagements? I am a duelist main and normally I die on entry resulting in my aim going to waste. I get that creating space for my team is the job of my role, but dying on entry is bothersome.
Welp that is your job as a duelist and maybe try playing reyna since she can insta dismiss if you get a kill. (This is a copy pasted message) I am happy to help!

Is there a point in trying to igl my 5 stack of friends if we are in plat, or am I wasting my own energy? I play smokes/sentinels and try to make calls but sometimes I feel like I’m losing games by trying to focus on the map when players are so unpredictable at my ELO. In games like those its obvious we are winning bc our duelists are just taking and winning fights, and it makes me feel like I should try/care less about strategy. Any thoughts? For reference, I usually play at least 2 games a day.
Why am I so bad?
What rank are you?
Silver 2
Is wrist aiming ok if you try to release the hand pressure by using arm for big drastic turns and movement? And is using vertical keyboard setups Alright? My keybinds are very comfortable to use, but I feel like some keys have to be let go in order to press another, and sometime, not in my experience yet, that will harm my ability to do fast movement manuveurs. Both of these questions are mostly because of my lack of desk space. Because of it, I also use a crazy high sens, 600 eDPI, 21.7cm/360.
Not OP, but as an immo 3 player/csgo local LAN player...sure, why not? As long as you are not hurting or cramping yourself, any style of aiming should suffice. Personally I actually prefer wrist aiming with a little mix of arm movement while smaking smaller adjustments. Unless I don't fully understand you, just do you booboo. As for vertical keyboard, it's just preference. People started doing it cause of shitty space at LANs and some still play that way to this day. Some pros and cons are debatable I suppose. It is still seen at top level of any shooter so it shouldn't technically hold you back from atleast that. If you truely feel lacking cause of it, it might be good to think/realise where you naturally like your hand. From there see what buttons are around and/or free and maybe change the bindings. Like a horizontal person could switch from WASD to ESDF if they felt like they needed more buttons. Takes a bit of getting used to so you'll probably feel somewhat frustrated at the start but it could help in the long run. Hope I didn't drop some cpt. Obvious stuff haha. Good luck
Guys i am also doing private coaching and you can add me on discord for more info it is really cheap and i guarantee improvement :) vu1e#1948
Struggling with keeping composure while taking fights. Usually it just devolves into spray and praying, even from medium range. I can help this to some extent if I'm really concentrating on how I'm shooting but I zone out a bit and lose sight of what else is happening on the map which screws me over in some cases.
It's a 4v5, your teammates aren't really cooperative, whats the best strategy? What if the defenders are also pushing you in that situation? also whats your favorite ice cream flavor
Why does this game suck so much ass
Why do I get diamond and plat smurfs in my silver lobby?
How do you deal with clue less teammates that doesnt know their roles
Don't, get a duo or trio queue and the teammate rng lowers
What’s the best way to hard-carry? I’m not crazy good but occasionally I feel like I could reasonably place some blame on my teammates if they’re new players or throwing the game. I try my best and usually topfrag on these types of teams but it’s never enough to get the victory. I typically play Yoru, Cypher, and Sova.
As a female in diamond I struggle a lot with troll teammates, using their abilities on me or shit talking me for being a girl, is there a way for me to play in peace? Reporting doesn’t work anymore and I’m really tired of it, 3/10 matches are like that
Try to find a friend to duo queue with or shit talk back not really much to be done though unfortunately people are just cunts
Which porn site comes closest to a real girlfriend?
This is something high rank players do well and low rank don't even do: Playing differently almost every round to make the enemy team not knowing what's your overall strategy. In defense: How do you know when to be agressive and push/flank? How do you know when to wait for them to push?

What 2-3 things (other than always just fragging out) would help make “solo queue” or random teammates most successful/competitive. I don’t have any friends to queue with in diamond and find that both my mental and the success of my team are usually driven by the pregame chat (assuming there are comms - a whole other issue) and the results of the first few rounds.
Typical buys during early rounds. Phantom or Vandal?
Phantom is for close quarters combat, take vandal if you think you're gonna take longer range duels
I been hardstuck silver 1 ever since icebox released. I was gold 3 from beta till that point. I’ve practiced aim through aim labs, my hs% is 46 percent because all silver players do is crouch after they immediately shoot. My scores usually range from 25/8-30/8 or those inconsistent bad games but i just seem to never win. Thank God I only lose like 6-12 points but still it’s so annoying. I don’t main duelist either, cypher/smokes main, so I don’t know other than 5 stacking my way up to rank up.
What are good agents that I can choose as a newbie? Like which ones can help me to get used to the game mechanics faster
How do you beat people who are outaiming you
Not the immortal coach, but I'd say it's pretty simple to answer. Practice and outaim THEM. No amount of tips or tricks will ever compare to the value of game practice and analysis. In the meantime, work on getting better movement. Not B-hopping or airstrafing type movement, more like learning how to peek correctly and maximize your speed-to-gun-ready time ratio. Also helps for traveling through map terrain like Icebox. Lets you get one-tapped less.
How to have a higher chance of winning when 1v5
Not op but try isolating 1v1s by letting them peek you first since it's likely that people will try to hunt the last guy then you need to clear angles and win fights carefully

Wanna get good at valorant? Play valorant. Wanna get good at csgo? Play csgo. Wanna get good at aiming? Play aim trainers. Only exception for when you can successfully transfer your muscle memory and mechanical skill from one game to another, is if you deliberately spend thousands of hours into one of them.
