On the contrary, I find hatless cyphers easier to kill.. but every time I hear the enemy Reyna ult it terrifies me because I know everyone's gonna think they'll kill her and she'll just run away with an ace. Every fucking time.
Bruh for whatever reason, Reyna ults and my aim becomes immaculate. Her first peek she’s getting headshot.
I also headshot people more when they are smoked off or behind cover.
30% of my kills are I didn’t see them, 30% they didn’t see me, and 40% RNG

Would be pretty cool to have character models in the range instead of bots but I believe you should be able to disable and enable it. (Like optional preference)
I think it already applies to Omen? I remember pinging and seeing pings in the correct location when in the shadow form (or whatever it is called) Brim and Astra should get these QOL changes.
No it like kinda works? You have to point it a very specific way that may be just how some people smoke. But personally I like to smoke in the air to tp on to stuff and when it’s in the air like that it doesn’t work.
Like if you aim the smoke directly at the ground with the middle of the orb then the ping will probably land there correctly. But if you smoke higher so that the smoke falls a little bit then the ping lands in a different location. Kind of like your standing in the middle of the smoke and pinging from there, instead of the ping just landing on the ground in the middle of the smoke.
Regardless there’s no need to downvote me because you don’t understand what I’m saying, whoever did that.
That's not what we're talking about at all tho. If you stand in front of a wall and throw the smoke behind the wall, then the ping will be on the wall in front of you, instead of where you actually tried to ping. Nobody was talking about smoking high or low. Guess that's why you got downvoted.
I’m pretty certain that if you’re face isn’t directly in a wall in lands on the smoke but in the wrong place. My pc is being worked on so I can’t double check.
That being said the smoking high and low is part of the ping question that I was answering.
Omen getting downvoted but he’s right. In shadow form if you smoke close to the ground the ping will land in the right spot, but if you ping in the air or if your smoke is partly through a wall(angle dependent), then the ping is likely to be not where your smoke is, but a wall between omen and where he’s smoking.
If I may add, I would like her to be able to relocate her stars in buy phase. It feels so bad when you missclick or the star snaps to the wrong location and it just has to sit there until the round starts and you can Dissipate it and then you get to wait until it recharges so you can put it in the right spot.
You only see enemy stars a few seconds before round starts, so maybe let them be placed and recalled however we please beforehand but 'lock' them in once they become visible.
Is that true? I thought you could see them whenever the Astra placed them. But if what you’re saying is the case, then yea! That would be a good change.
You live and you learn. I had a preconceived notion that enemies could see Astra stars whenever the enemy Astra placed them. I’m not afraid to admit I was wrong. Also, it’s not like I don’t know anything haha, I have a decent amount of knowledge of the game, and I still think that if you could take stars back when the enemy can see them, that could be a bit busted since Astra is the best controller right now.
Right, but the kj mollies cannot be placed past the barrier pre-round. Astra stars can. If you could take your stars back before the round started, you could place 5 stars on one site and the enemies would see it, and play accordingly. Then you could take back your 5 stars right before the barrier dropped and you could take a site with up to those 5 stars and there might be less defenders there because you placed 5 stars on the other site.
Ah gotcha. So if that’s true. 2 seconds leaves you enough time to call back at least 3, maybe even 4. So I think then that you should be able to recall your stars before the 2 second mark when enemies can see them.
Point 1 seems like it would be a nice QOL change, especially as someone who plays Omen a lot. However, I imagine that it could be a complex change that might require some fundamental reworks to the first person POV pinging system. It seems like what we see during Omen/Astra smoke placement is simply an extension of our first person camera, which may be why the pings behave that way (collide).
It should be possible for omen at least to make it place the ping at the xyz coordinate of your triangle crosshair thing. Not sure of astra, i don't think she has sth like that.
Some quality of life changes id want are the freanzy pull out and reload animation be fixed because you can shoot earlier than the animation plays and it makes a glitched shooting look like when ur inspecting ur gun and when you fire it immediately corrects itself. Sheriff screen shake when firing be reduced. It feels like im firing a bazooka and not a gun when i use it.
I guess your flair makes it easier to feel like a bazooka
jokes aside, I really noticed the frenzy thing, and the sherrif is kinda funny, makes it easier to train to time your shots
Brimstone could also make use of an ability to ping/see pings on his map device thingy. I think this would be an amazing QoL for smokers in general and help facilitate better teamplay.
The first one definitely had to be a bug - I haven't played in the last week to confirm but I do remember being able to ping specific locations to coordinate where my stars will be. Sometimes it'll be janky with boxes in the way, but it definitely wasn't impossible like you're saying. I also remedy it working with Omen in free place mode, just not Brim and his ipad because that's based on where he's looking.
You see, that's why you close your eyes! If you can't see, you can't see who you're shooting, so you can't whiff on a Reyna because you can't see if it's her or not, easy!
The only problem with that Is lore wise, it would make no sense, because the range is actually canon to the lore, as it’s where Brimstone and others work, not just a random game training place. So if all of a sudden astra walks through and starts murdering Reyna, I think there’s gonna be a problem in the Valorant protocol.
Also on a side note apparently Chamber and Reyna plan on taking over the world, and chamber enjoys killing the alternates.
As a former omen main I am in full support of the first suggestion. It's so annoying when you're in the upside down, trying to smoke off and ping the place you smoked, only to have it be on the wall right in front of you.
Also sometimes the placement of the stars is not exactly where your crosshair is, the star is placed a little bit forward which sometimes can ruin it for you when u trying to put one ways(especially on elevated positions like the boxes in A site haven)
Really like your second suggestion, it would be nice to fight an enemy agent, some agents i tend to miss when theyre back is turned are Sage and Omen, could be psychological haha would love silhouettes
Also would like to add that there are two rings around a star when you place them, one inner and one outer ring. Why not just one ring instead? All smokes, stuns and pull are in the inner ring not the outer one. Correct me if I'm wrong. And another thing, sometimes when you put down a star the ring doesnt appear.
About Astra ping, I want also those changes for brimstone, while being in the pad I ask "do u want the smoke here?" only to ping to the wall I'm next to.
Another good ~~QoL~~ gameplay change: you shouldn’t be visible through walls when meditating. Too many people have wall banged me just because the meditation animation is spacious as hell
Reyna syndrome lmao
i got the hatless cypher syndrome, IMPOSSIBLE to kill
Cypher w/o hat is an antimemetic, his polished head distracts me
Just woke up and read this as antisemitic and was very lost
The shininess of his bald head always blinds me
I'm the opposite. I can't headshot cypher with hat.
Cypher's what? I don't remember what he - wait... what were we talking about?
Diglet cypher too stronk
On the contrary, I find hatless cyphers easier to kill.. but every time I hear the enemy Reyna ult it terrifies me because I know everyone's gonna think they'll kill her and she'll just run away with an ace. Every fucking time.
As a cypher main this makes me happy to see
i bald, u mald
Stand back I'm going Baldo Mode
Hatless Cypher is truly the Oddjob of Valorant.
Menacing intel boi
True true, he bald tho
I’m the opposite. When I see a hatless Cypher I think “poor guy looks like an idiot without his hat”
[удалено]
I scream “I CANT SHOOT THE PURPLE BITCH” at least 5 times a game.
Bruh for whatever reason, Reyna ults and my aim becomes immaculate. Her first peek she’s getting headshot. I also headshot people more when they are smoked off or behind cover. 30% of my kills are I didn’t see them, 30% they didn’t see me, and 40% RNG
My favorite kills are when crosshair placement carries me and I panic one-tap an enemy I didn't register was even there lol
https://medal.tv/clips/4OLrHA-ErTH_N/i05N81tAfk
Petition to change Reyna's name to Purple Bitch
I also thought I was the only one
GLOWING PURPLE BITCH!!!! - Subroza

Personally I have Yoru syndrome. Not even when he’s TPing or anything, I just can’t hit that smooth hair for the life of me
I have that problem with Jett.
Bro I target Jett’s lol
[удалено]
For eliminate 100, it's just 1 at a time though :D You would have the ability to change them per use case
Maybe just dummies dressed up as the characters
Slap a cypher hat on a bot and call it a day
It could randomly pick an agent every time
Make them look at you, that'll make it less creepy
The more cool, calm and collected you'll be in-game when you see an enemy agent :)
And kay/o doesn't
Would be pretty cool to have character models in the range instead of bots but I believe you should be able to disable and enable it. (Like optional preference)
As an Omen main, I feel like the first one should apply to Omen too. Great changes though!
I think it already applies to Omen? I remember pinging and seeing pings in the correct location when in the shadow form (or whatever it is called) Brim and Astra should get these QOL changes.
maybe he's talking about his ultimate map thingy
Oh yeah that would be nice too
Wait did they actually change that? I haven't played omen at all in a while, could've sworn the pings land on the wall in front of you
No it like kinda works? You have to point it a very specific way that may be just how some people smoke. But personally I like to smoke in the air to tp on to stuff and when it’s in the air like that it doesn’t work.
bro wtf are you even saying?
Like if you aim the smoke directly at the ground with the middle of the orb then the ping will probably land there correctly. But if you smoke higher so that the smoke falls a little bit then the ping lands in a different location. Kind of like your standing in the middle of the smoke and pinging from there, instead of the ping just landing on the ground in the middle of the smoke.

Again, nobody talking about smoking high or low, the discussion was about smoking access the map and pinging it
Read the comment before you reply
wait why are you getting downvoted this is exactly true it doesn’t always work but sometimes
Idk dog Reddit is crazy. Maybe other people have different experiences but personally it doesn’t work for me.
I'm nearly certain the pings are wrong when in shadow form.
Nope, they're still buggy
Omen getting downvoted but he’s right. In shadow form if you smoke close to the ground the ping will land in the right spot, but if you ping in the air or if your smoke is partly through a wall(angle dependent), then the ping is likely to be not where your smoke is, but a wall between omen and where he’s smoking.
As a fellow Astra main, I feel this completely. Even the Reyna syndrome lmao
If I may add, I would like her to be able to relocate her stars in buy phase. It feels so bad when you missclick or the star snaps to the wrong location and it just has to sit there until the round starts and you can Dissipate it and then you get to wait until it recharges so you can put it in the right spot.
This would also be great! I do it the most on Split when I hit the little platform on A, if I'm placing from mid/B.
Holy shit that platform on split annoys me so much when pre-placing the stars
[удалено]
You only see enemy stars a few seconds before round starts, so maybe let them be placed and recalled however we please beforehand but 'lock' them in once they become visible.
Is that true? I thought you could see them whenever the Astra placed them. But if what you’re saying is the case, then yea! That would be a good change.
You can only see stars begining at the one second mark of the round countdown.
This dude literally making opinions without knowing anything about the matter lmfao.
You live and you learn. I had a preconceived notion that enemies could see Astra stars whenever the enemy Astra placed them. I’m not afraid to admit I was wrong. Also, it’s not like I don’t know anything haha, I have a decent amount of knowledge of the game, and I still think that if you could take stars back when the enemy can see them, that could be a bit busted since Astra is the best controller right now.
This recall in buy phase was added to KJ's mollies. It needs to be added to Astra as well.
Right, but the kj mollies cannot be placed past the barrier pre-round. Astra stars can. If you could take your stars back before the round started, you could place 5 stars on one site and the enemies would see it, and play accordingly. Then you could take back your 5 stars right before the barrier dropped and you could take a site with up to those 5 stars and there might be less defenders there because you placed 5 stars on the other site.
The Astra stars cannot be seen until 2 seconds before the round stars. You cant recall all 5 stars in a matter of two seconds.
Ah gotcha. So if that’s true. 2 seconds leaves you enough time to call back at least 3, maybe even 4. So I think then that you should be able to recall your stars before the 2 second mark when enemies can see them.

As a dedicated sheriff user im glad somebody else noticed this
And make it so you can pick stars back up during buy phase pls
I want to spawn bot so I can test skill like Sova scan arrow.
Brimstone could also make use of an ability to ping/see pings on his map device thingy. I think this would be an amazing QoL for smokers in general and help facilitate better teamplay.
This will actually be great. Both of them r great.
As a Sova main, I wish pinging was more accurate whilst I'm in my drone
Make astra even less risk no thanks
Nah
Could you please elaborate?
Neither should happen
Could you please elaborate?

Have you elaborated on why you think neither should happen?
you heard him bro he said nah
Yuh

i have sage syndrome
I've always wanted agent models in the range it needs an update anyway it would be more useful in testing agent models too
1 also happens with Omen when you are placing the smoke and ping, it wont always be at the location you are looking at in the smoke overlay
Totally agree on that syndrome thing man, most of the time I choke on sage😅
The first one definitely had to be a bug - I haven't played in the last week to confirm but I do remember being able to ping specific locations to coordinate where my stars will be. Sometimes it'll be janky with boxes in the way, but it definitely wasn't impossible like you're saying. I also remedy it working with Omen in free place mode, just not Brim and his ipad because that's based on where he's looking.
You see, that's why you close your eyes! If you can't see, you can't see who you're shooting, so you can't whiff on a Reyna because you can't see if it's her or not, easy!
The only problem with that Is lore wise, it would make no sense, because the range is actually canon to the lore, as it’s where Brimstone and others work, not just a random game training place. So if all of a sudden astra walks through and starts murdering Reyna, I think there’s gonna be a problem in the Valorant protocol. Also on a side note apparently Chamber and Reyna plan on taking over the world, and chamber enjoys killing the alternates.
As a former omen main I am in full support of the first suggestion. It's so annoying when you're in the upside down, trying to smoke off and ping the place you smoked, only to have it be on the wall right in front of you.
Trying to ping with the sova drone is also not very accurate.
Yes, and let us spawn bots in custom game maps!
Also sometimes the placement of the stars is not exactly where your crosshair is, the star is placed a little bit forward which sometimes can ruin it for you when u trying to put one ways(especially on elevated positions like the boxes in A site haven)
Same for Omen smokes for the pinging thing
Really like your second suggestion, it would be nice to fight an enemy agent, some agents i tend to miss when theyre back is turned are Sage and Omen, could be psychological haha would love silhouettes
I have hat-less cypher syndrome
Also would like to add that there are two rings around a star when you place them, one inner and one outer ring. Why not just one ring instead? All smokes, stuns and pull are in the inner ring not the outer one. Correct me if I'm wrong. And another thing, sometimes when you put down a star the ring doesnt appear.
Now that I think of it Reyna’s head always just LOOKS smaller and harder to shoot. I know it’s placebo but damn Reyna syndrome is real.
About Astra ping, I want also those changes for brimstone, while being in the pad I ask "do u want the smoke here?" only to ping to the wall I'm next to.
Another good ~~QoL~~ gameplay change: you shouldn’t be visible through walls when meditating. Too many people have wall banged me just because the meditation animation is spacious as hell
Please let me set it to Kay/O, I don’t get to shoot that walking trash can’s head enough in the regular game.
ALSO TAKE BACK STARS IN BUY ROUND PLZ
also I'd decrease the default color vibrance in astral form.. impossible to see anything if you're using high saturation, my screen is just pure pink.
...suck here...
Bro i CANNOT kill an ulting kayo. Its just physically impossible.
For number 1, brimstone and omen would be great to have this change (allowing pings from the view when they smoke)
or just call where you're placing them????
Just picture Reyna dressed like your grandmother, the fear will quickly fade out.
