Ranked Is Becoming Unplayable Because of AFKs and Disconnects

Every single Gold 3 / Platinum 1 match has one or two players who simply go AFK or disconnect after the second round. This forces the team to play the entire match with one player down, and when we lose, we lose the exact same amount of RR as if we had a full 5-player team.

Valorant does absolutely nothing to compensate teams that are playing with fewer players in ranked. This has become extremely common, and at this point, it feels impossible to play solo queue anymore. You basically have to play with a full stack, and finding a full team takes an eternity!

I’ve only been playing the game for a little over a month, and I’m already seriously considering uninstalling it because of the lack of a better system for adjusting RR after ranked wins and losses. It feels extremely frustrating and unprofessional to lose the same amount of RR in an unfair 4v5 game as you would in a normal 5v5 match. There needs to be a better system to account for AFKs, disconnects, and incomplete teams.

Peguei Ouro 1 no Ps5

Comecei a jogar Valorant mês passado, gostei bastante do estilo Counter Strike, achei até mais difícil de defender os bombs pq os atacantes nao precisam jogar uma granada de flash ou de smoke, eles podem simplesmente posicionar as smokes e isso torna bem mais desafiador defender. Gostei do desafio!
Peguei Prata 3 na primeira classificação e jogando mais um pouco consegui chegar no Ouro 1, conheci umas pessoas legais e to curtindo o game.

Já até comprei o passe que tá rolando ai, sao umas skins meio feias com a temática de cafeteria mass pelo menos são mais baratas do que as outras que vi vendendo avulso .

Tmjjj !!

NOVATO / GOSTEI !

Bom dia rapaziada, eu nunca havia jogado valorant anteriormente, mas passei boas 1k+ horas jogando Rainbow Six Siege .

Procurando algum game pra satisfazer aquele tédio de olhar a biblioteca cheia de jogos e não querer nenhum, encontrei o VALORANT.

Baixei, fiz minha conta, fiz o tutorial e cai na primeira partida e quando consegui grana comprei uma sniper, dei umas balinhas e curti o game.

Estou já com 16 horas, prata 1, muito feliz jogando com Omen , estou conseguindo matar bem, mira está boa, mas preciso aprender os mapas, aprender smokar e etc .

Estou viciado! kkk muito bom!

Jogos que joguei por compartilhamento de conta não estão aparecendo em minha lista de jogos jogados na PSN/PS5.

Bom dia pessoal, tudo bem?
Comprei o Elden Ring e o BG3 mídia digital primária.

Joguei 49 horas de Elden Ring e quando acessava o meu perfil no PS5 o jogo aparecia na lista de jogados, mostrava as horas jogadas e os troféus perfeitamente.

Depois iniciei o Baldurs Gate 3 e estou com mais de 60 horas jogadas porém este não aparece na minha lista de jogados.

Agora estou verificando e nenhum desses dois jogos estão aparecendo mais. Como se eu nunca os tivesse jogado.

Isso é algum bug? Tem como resolver?

Agradeço a atenção.

Christians & Weed.

Hello, I'm from Brazil. I want to greet you with the peace of Jesus.

I'm facing a dilemma, and I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

I'm almost 30 years old, I'm married, and I have faith in Jesus Christ and everything He has done. I firmly believe that Jesus is God and the Son of God, and that the Holy Spirit is God and the Spirit of God.

Now that my beliefs are clear, here's my dilemma:

This Saturday, my best friend invited me to his bachelor party. I'll be one of his groomsmen. We've known each other since elementary school.

The first thing I told him was that I wasn't comfortable if the party involved women. He replied, "Dude, relax. I'm not inviting any women. We're just getting the groomsmen together, having one session of weed, chilling out, laughing, playing video games, and ordering some food."

Now I'm conflicted about using cannabis.

I've used it before, so I know how it affects me. I don't become anxious, aggressive, mean, or reckless. It just makes everything feel slower and funnier. The high only lasts about four hours, which is enough for the bachelor party to end and for me to get home mostly sober.

What do you all think? Am I sinning?

Question about a reaction from the Nightsong during a battle

I didn’t understand why the Nightsong was so surprised when Ketheric says that Isobel is his daughter. To me, that information was already known by the Nightsong, but seeing her react with shock and even lose focus during the battle, getting hit by Ketheric, left me confused... She’s hundreds of years old and didn’t know that Isobel was Ketheric’s daughter...? I really didn’t understand it.

Curses and deaths.

We passed all of Shar’s pathetic trials, all to find and free the Nightsong, daughter of Selûne, exalted!

We betrayed Balthazar, and I made sure Karlach got the final blow. Shadowheart threw away her spear and renounced the cursed goddess Shar, breaking the cycle of lies.

FORWARD, LET’S RIP OFF KETHERIC’S HEAD AND ALL THE IMPURE RACE OF THE ABSOLUTE.

I had to reload my save about five times.

Me and my wife went to talk to Isobel at Last Light Inn, and then this winged dude shows up out of nowhere trying to kidnap her.

The problem? Every enemy in the fight seemed absolutely obsessed with Isobel. She got focused down so fast that every attempt ended with her getting kidnapped, the whole inn turning hostile, and half the NPCs dying. We reloaded the save like 5 times trying to figure out what we were doing wrong.

Eventually, we managed to pull it off. We killed Marcus, wiped out all the demons, saved Isobel, and kept the entire inn alive.

Now I'm walking around talking to Dammon like everything is normal, knowing I've personally caused his death in at least 4 or 5 alternate timelines just within the last hour.

BG3 is wild.

GALE IS A GODDESS'S EX?! My Wife and I Just Reached Act 2...

EDIT:: Guys, forgive us for not talking much with Gale. I'd like to say that we don't regret it at all, even knowing from your comments that we missed a lot of dialogues and important moments.

We don't regret it because we're living our very first campaign through our own mistakes and successes, and it's been AMAZING!

I've never played a game for more than 45 hours with my wife, and we've only just finished Act 1. We still have two more acts and hundreds of hours ahead of us to make mistakes, learn, and succeed together.

Thanks, everyone! ❤️

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My wife and I just entered Act 2, and this game keeps getting more insane.

After fighting our way through the Mountain Pass, wiping out the Githyanki crèche, entering the Astral Prism, and standing face-to-face with a goddess without kneeling or trembling before her, we thought we were finally starting to understand what was happening.

Then Elminster appeared.

Suddenly, Gale wasn't just the wizard who had been eating my magical items for 40+ hours. He was a former lover of a goddess and apparently carrying a magical apocalypse inside his chest.

Then we reached the edge of the Shadow-Cursed Lands.

One of the first things we saw was a goblin sending an innocent animal into the shadows to die for entertainment.

So I sent the goblin instead.

A few minutes later, we played the spider lyre, summoned the drider guide, and began traveling with the Absolute cultists through the darkness. When the Harpers appeared, we betrayed our "allies" without a second thought and joined the fight against them.

At Last Light Inn, Jaheira was ready to treat us as enemies until a tiefling child we had saved all the way back in Act 1 stepped forward and vouched for us.

Choices we made dozens of hours ago still mattered.

Now we're wandering through a cursed land, carrying an artifact everyone wants, helping a rebel Gith challenge his own goddess, and traveling alongside a wizard who might be the most dangerous man we've met so far.

And somehow, it feels like the real story is only just beginning.

This game is absolutely incredible.

My wife and I are absolutely addicted to Baldur’s Gate 3!

Thank you all so much for the tips on my last post! The amount of helpful advice from this community has honestly made our experience even better!

On the day I made that post, my wife and I played from 8:00 PM until 3:00 AM, and on the following days we spent entire afternoons exploring Faerûn together. We’re currently 15 hours into the game and having an amazing time!

Your advice about constantly saving the game helped us a LOT against Dror Ragzlin 😅

I’m playing as a Cleric, she’s a Druid, and we’re traveling with Astarion and Lae’zel. One of the best parts has been building strategies together, learning the mechanics little by little, and discovering this world as a team. This game has already given us some unforgettable moments!

Starting Baldur’s Gate 3 with my wife

Today we bought Baldur's Gate 3 for PS5 and tonight we’re finally starting our campaign together.

After getting the platinum in Cat Quest II and spending a lot of hours in Diablo IV co-op, we decided to jump into a bigger RPG experience.
