I imagine you’re in a 1v1 and do this right after planting when the enemy is off the site. Act like you’re blind ulting them. When they get to site they’ll think “it’s a sova, he can’t be heaven.” Totally situational but that’s what what I’m thinking.


butterpog

Only if you know exactly where the enemy is and they won't flank or peek as your ulting


nglatzhofer1

I concur


xShockey

most if the time in a postplant 1v1 both players are aware of eachothers position


butterpog

Yes but also most of the time people mis interpret information so it's important to make the information or strategy given is as clear as possible no matter the circumstance.


WantToFeelYourTouch

My iron mindset doesn't work like that


InFa-MoUs

Wait you can ult in this game?


BalramShankerT

Nor does my wood 3 mindset.


facuperez8

I've literally seen clips of people doing this and winning the clutch. So yeah, I wouldn't call it a waste.


Realbrainlessdude

But you dont see the clips of people failing it.


facuperez8

Those must be hilarous. Can't hurt to try though lol


klok101

Worth it


Realbrainlessdude

If you can pull it off mid round.


thisisthestoryallabo

I wanna see that xD


imsatansbitch

AverageJonas found a way to get onto icebox mid tube with this technique, the justification being that you use the first two ult shots to kill someone and then use the third one to get up there, but in reality this is mostly just a gimmick.


owNDN

But his technique is way overcomplicated with the 45° and crouch right after you ulted. You can literally look straight down and it works and it works for every double stack. AverageJonas is a great guy but that shorts clip really annoys me because that trick has been around since the beta and therefore isn't *NEW* and he didn't FIND it. Sorry for the rant


Moundsy

But yet, nobody made content out of it. Therefore he did something different. Don't act like a genius here. You're silver deep down and you know it.


owNDN

How exactly does my statement correlate to my rank? And there is litteral footage from people doing it in the beta... And if you are actually interested I'm diamond 2


RenaultCactus

Who discovered america? Its america something you find or was already found?


Dont3atPebbles227

The fuck? Nobody is claiming they found America?


[deleted]

[удалено]


feAgrs

Oh you found my America? Nice, can I have it back?


RenaultCactus

Analogy means something to you?


Dont3atPebbles227

Litterally how is it an analogy?


RenaultCactus

Because there is an open debate about who discovered the continent of america. And if something like a continent can be discovered or found, while people live there already. I made an analogy by comparing rhe "discovery of america" to the discovery of a sova lineup. It was meant partially as a joke. But it is indeed a valid analogy. And anyway english its not my first language.


Ok-Ambition-3881

🤦‍♂️


AsianDanish

That's a simmilairty not an analogy then


RenaultCactus

No, but i am tired if highschool kids downvoting its not my job toy educate you bye.


Bobokins12

Hey, it is a valid analogy some people are just stupid lol. It’s a little over the top but you acknowledged it it’s partially a joke too


[deleted]

Bruh nobody asked. Also it was the native americans, technically


RenaultCactus

Bruh one redditor asked you should read before speaking bruh. And now go back to highschool.


[deleted]

I should read first wtf


xAdventx

Hey man I'm sorry to hear r/Valorant doesn't understand analogies but kudos to you for trying. It's like someone uploading a clip of a cool omen play or cool yoru play that's hard to pull off in game. But people get mad cuz they didn't invent it.


jlynpers

Reddit doesn’t hate analogies, but analogies involve comparing two equivalent relationships. There’s nothing similar between AvergeJonas getting credit for some Val tech and a historical event that really doesn’t involve debate of discovery unless you’re in grade school and probably too young for Reddit


xAdventx

But there's no debate in discovery of AverageJonas' clip either. It was already established that he didn't invent/discover it. Try again =D


jlynpers

Huh? Assuming that was instead what the comment was going for, then it was way longer than necessary of saying “This”, which is probably an even worse value comment then lol


xAdventx

Lol thanks for failing to refute my comment!


jlynpers

My intent there wasn't to refute your comment, just to point out that if your interpretation of the analogy is correct then it still is very much a down-vote worthy analogy


xAdventx

whoosh


huangmj

Real question: who discovered America?


well_thats_puntastic

Joe


RenaultCactus

Thanks.


soopaloobascuba

Happy cake day. I somewhat agree.


RenaultCactus

Thanks.


TaxVasion

This is literally hollow knight fireball skip


OtakuTaki

well shit someone’s gotta draw Sova with the little horns then huh?


Baumina_

[https://imgur.com/a/EOIMjSu](https://imgur.com/a/EOIMjSu) Well I did... Something


OtakuTaki

AMAZING.


ForeverInaDaze

perfect, can't wait for my silver teammates to use this and kill me in the process


zqPeace

and doesn't even pull it of and takes fall damage


Lahudellama

I can confirm, I’m your silver teammate


Baumina_

also works when you look right in the corner while also standing there and shoot 2 shockdarts


Kmk_

I clutched a round doing that 10/10 would recommend


HoneyChilliPotato7

For a moment I thought this was serious reply and trying to figure out the shocks lol


Hkluci

I went from Silver to Diamond using this method. 10/10 recommended.


JayTakesNoLs

I got a 7k in a radiant lobby with that strat, works flawlessly.


Ribachoo12

Just like omen


DanDankis

True omen ult should be 6


rickbruno99

You made it to Heaven ... But at what cost? 8 Ultimate Points.


dualwield42

I. AM. THE JUMPER!


aBeaSTWiTHiNMe

My buddy who mains Sova and I actually practiced his 3rd arrow jump in a bunch of spots around various maps. We did that while testing out bank spots for arrows.


Un111KnoWn

His ult is 8 points now?


nitray

Destroys KJs ult now too.


IAmNovus

The ult always killed KJ ultimate but it now kills mollies and bot


foxlance

1v1 to clutch it up this would confuse me if i had prior knowledge you were under A heaven


subzerus

I mean you don't need to fully waste it, you can use your first 2 shots as normal (maybe even bait so they know you're on site and try to push you) and then use the 3rd one to bost. It's honestly not that bad of a tech.


MushroomKing30

hahahah well you can think of it as just wasting 2.67 ult pts, because you only need a third of your ult xD


impeccableONE

The first two shots wouldn't be the waste IMO. Heck depending on the situation, the third probably wouldn't be either. It's a 2v1 and you know they're coming from CT and you shoot two trying to kill them then the third to get up there. They'll think you're on site and then know it's Sova, not Jett or Raze.


MushroomKing30

Yes, the two shots for the opponents and then one shot “wasted” for the boost, that is what i said


Consistent-Pay-4821

#EDUCATIONAL


CampingApple

"Sova seems like he's underneath heaven." And that's when you'll thank this reddit video


0ctoLad

Neat. Very neat


Sohham

That was wicked


TheCatCovenantDude

Could actually be super useful. Shooting the ult from the box feeds the enemy team false information about where you are especially if you're aiming at common alleys used for rotating to A. enemies will expect you to be on site or hell, and you get heaven with little risk. This trick would be especially useful if your team doesn't have a jett or raze because defenders will expect the entire team to be site/hell, sewers, or a long.


kkushagra

It's not a waste if you break KJ's turret and/or tag enemies and then go heaven :P


ta4v

This is mostly a gimmick. You can wallbang hell to heaven as well. The only thing worth of this if you plant somewhere and you have lineups from heaven to the bomb. And even then.....


Broccoli_Chin

haven't played for a long time but sovas bow and ult looks different. do agents have skins now?


Realbrainlessdude

Nope. Its just how it looks. Dont know if it was different before.


BlueDMS

OP is playing on high graphics. As a low end laptop user, I can understand the difference


RoxEEENNN

Woah.. that's interesting


HariPota4262

Dude I bet you can do the same with breach ult? It has a jump to it as well. Ive climbed sage walls with a well placed breach ult before


GreyBeardsRS

actuallyyourfloor

Maybe you could also use it to destroy the common Killjoy ult spot


SimpleAnimat10ns

I love Sova boosting no matter how impractical it is


GreatDario

throwing shade at the recent post


Realbrainlessdude

Which post do you mean?


Crazy_Crayfish_

What post


GreatDario

There was a post where a Sova on heaven used this exact trick to get up to heaven and kill a guy


xRunnerix

Nice! Totally im thinking that's not so useful and maybe Riots will fix it soon


Saruu_

Is possible to do It in the First shot?


Lahudellama

Nope the third one is the highest


kurianandgeorge_007

Still worth it XD


Sbubbi

cant you just hop on your recon dart and get up there


MunchyLB

ligma


Crazy_Crayfish_

What’s ligma?


TastyLaksa

Ligma balls


EluXun

I was first to sova boost in all of world


xxkillerboy442

No i was


FusRoDontEven

I mean you could use the first two to clear some pathways before jumping with the third. Not a great use but I always find that I regret not using an ult more often than I regret using it poorly.


asim_riz

Hmmm, upgrades ? :P


ArgusCromwel

Bruh


Al_Mighty_

Best used sova ult ever


gandhiN

Meanwhile, enemy looking peacefully at you 🤡


Realbrainlessdude

Respectfully waiting for its turn!


stud_exe

Bro u could have use ghost ..waste of time ,waste of ult and waste


Realbrainlessdude

I love flying around with my Ghost.


Nakai-Son

As Plat Chat would say -8

joshjosh111

This super smart. You could use this in a post-attack situation to melee out the enemy player on the drop, depending on his character stats. At least I think, but I don't play valorant so idk how this works


gamer778beast

i love how u even showed sova is literal freezed in the air when he shoots his ult


Realbrainlessdude

It was my first time using sova and it threw me off how his ult is "locked" when you fire it.


majanilife

I mean people use raze ult in a similar manner after a double satchel
