Sometimes I'll jiggle and peek at someone then move away to try wide swing but I usually get one tapped.

Is wide swinging far from a wall bad? I think the further you are the slower you move right.

I basically lose every sunset game I play but idk how to fix it. I've seen like guides about it but idk how to apply them. Does anyone have any tips for it? Here's my tracker if its of any use: Val tracker

Currently a gold 1 astra player and while my mechanics are terrible for my rank I think my game sense is severely holding me back for the agent I'm playing.

I've been writing notes while reviewing other pros and my own games but I'm having a hard time implementing the corrections I point out.

How do I get better at fixing these mistakes? Do I just bring up the Google doc every time I get the map I did badly in again?

Been watching a lot of pro vods lately and noticed that while pro players are usually top of their team they usually are still in close games and tend to die a lot.

But then I watch a random vod of a pro player in cs2 like donk dropping something like 50 kills in lvl 10 faceit so I'm just wondering why valorant pros aren't dominating their radiant games the same even if they are better than their competition?

The only ones I see that tend to dominate more are usually duelists like Oxy and primmie, do pro duelists just have a bigger impact?

I saw two guides saying to do the opposite. Should you suck and then stun or do the opposite and stun and then suck?

I'm using a MSI monitor I just bought and even though HDR display true black 400 is on, windows keeps saying HDR isn't supported on the display settings.

​

I tried turning on 10bit colour through the Nvidia control panel but I'm not sure if that did anything. I used two different display ports and the same issue (the one that it came with and the one I was using on my previous monitor.)

Been neglecting my pc setup for a long time now but I think it's time to upgrade from my ghosting heavy 180HZ Acer monitor. Is there a good value oled for around £400? I am from the UK and my main use case would be gaming so it would be nice if it was 240HZ.

I could buy it now but it'd be more financially responsible for me to save up 2 paychecks before then, there isn't any news of a price increase in the near future is there?

Edit: ended up just buying it

I work a job, have one actual friend and have to deal with the realisation I'm sort of a failure that hasn't even started university yet (did a year of foundation to get into the first year at my university).

I've gone to a therapist, but it felt like we were going in circles and I eventually ended it because the money it was costing just didn't make sense when my life wasn't changing.

As for my family: I love my mom, don't speak to my dad anymore and at times dislike my brother for not caring about his future and being lazy. He's 24 and living with my mom still without ever passing secondary level education (I do the same but at least I care about my future and learning how to cook, he hasn't bothered to do that yet at 25 while I'm 19).

It's just really annoying and dull my life is, I know I'd feel better going to the gym and developing other hobbies but I've never made any results from it and I have random back pain and shoulder pain on random exercises and it eventually becomes a reason I give up. My consistency is horrible and I give up on things quickly that take effort.

It just makes life really annoying at times being concerned with how undisciplined my brother is while at the same time not being much better outside of school.

What do I even do? How do I make life feel exciting and progress? How do you stop getting annoyed at the fact your brother is wasting his life?

I started going to therapy around November with the first therapist I found on a site and it felt effective at the time, but now I just feel like me and him are going in circles about topics and we don't really fix any of them.

It feels like I am the one bringing up almost all of the ideas and he (the therapist) just agrees with them and says I should do them. I get you only get what you put into therapy so if I'm not putting the things I say into practice then it isn't worth it, but I don't really see the point in paying £60 a week for someone to basically confirm what I already know and give superficial commentary on issues I'm having. Not to say he's been useless, he HAS helped in some areas but I think it's starting to become repetitive.

I brought this up with him after a 6 week break (from the therapy) by saying the therapy sessions just don't feel effective and he responded by saying we have been jumping from multiple topics but we haven't delved "deep" into any of them yet. While that sounds reasonable, I legitimately can't think of anything I haven't told him yet that could somehow make any of our future discussions be more "hard-hitting" and "enlightening."

TL:Dr I don't dislike my therapist, I just feel like we're wasting time and aren't really having that productive of conversations anymore. My life is the same whether I go to him or not - so what's the point?
