I am 44, what are my chances for Gold/Diamond
Hi Guys, hope i get a genuine advice and not trolling :). The purpose of this entire post is that i want to play and enjoy Valorant Unrated or Comp comfortably, killing confidently and getting killed (ofcourse).
I have never played story based or FPS games before. Except when i was in University at that time we used to play CS 1.6 on local LAN, i was good at it but didnt even know any thing about movement, crosshair placement, no training nothing, we just played thats it. I am not sure at all how much i played but i think 2-3 years maybe. (i was not extremely good at it but played ok, mostly did 1-1 on awp_india for AWP or iceworld etc)
In 2020 during covid, got to know about Valorant, tried it on my laptop, placed in iron. Didnt know what the hell was going on. I started digging, i came to know about headshots, strafing and other usual stuff. I tried to do Kovacs, aimlab and range, but couldnt keep up like couldnt do more then 2-3 hours max i guess (a little more maybe, dont exactly remember, its like 3-4 years back).
I only get 1-2 hours at night before going to sleep, i cannot give more due to job, family commitments etc. I mostly do 1 DM, 1 TDM and then unrated and usually get demolished unless if the other team is not serious or they are not better then us (which is usually rare).
In range, i get 10 Hard bots on average and 23 Medium bots on average. I have proper gaming mouse but my movement is wrist based, not arm based. Dont know exactly wht my DPI is but no body changes it.
I cannot seem to master or understand the game logic which ppl call game sense. I know that matters a lot but mostly i have seen on low elo like bronze etc ppl just rush and try to take gunfights. I just want to know where i stand and if i can improve or am i a lost cause and will continue to play like shit lol. Any tips for me?
