r/VALORANT

Hey everyone!

The new AERIS bundle caught my eye and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I can't afford it right now, so I thought I'd take a chance and ask if anyone would be willing to gift it.

No pressure at all, and I completely understand if not. Just shooting my shot.

Thanks for reading!

I was playing with a friend, and the clove was super cracked. I was sure he was a smurf, but I looked into his account, and he was Immortal 2 last act. How is this even possible?

About the recent school shooting, my parents were convinced that the shooter was influenced by shooting games and such. They believed everything on facebook about these kind of reports. I mean I understand it might be an influence, but to overgeneralize and prohibit me from playing it? How is it different from prohibiting driving because tons of fatalities are driving related? I hope yall understand where im coming from. I’m literally 18 and in college.

I have a couple of questions
First one - Why I - ascendant, play with platinums?
Second - Why there are 2 platinums in my team, but not a single one in enemy's?
You might say oh it was an unfortunate time to play, queue was probably like 5-10 min, NO, it was like 5-10 sec of queue and games before that one was in asc-dia lobbies, this happens extremely often, since like previous act.

Third - Why am I getting like +15 and -25?

does the game thinks I am not worthy or something?

Hey guys so i just started valorant and im so insanely clueless. I have no idea who to main, any of their ‘ abilities ‘ (i think it’s called), what each round does, and i don’t understand what the goal of the game is. I just wanted to try something new but it’s super confusing. For who to main, stuff about me is im
not the best at shooting games but im decent. I don’t really like to be running in first and rushing as im only an amateur. Any advice helps, thanks all.

recently I have been solo queueing my way up to diamond and it feels a lot easier when I play by myself. I wanted to hear other people‘s opinions about solo queueing and stacking in competitive and which they prefer/ have a better experience with

Hi, I recently got back into playing Valorant after a few years. I played a lot after release, then only occasionally, and now I’m playing regularly again.
One thing I noticed is how different my experience is when I use VC.

When I was mostly solo queuing back then, I remember getting a LOT of toxicity directed at me just because I’m a woman. And obviously, whenever I made a mistake, suddenly it was a huge deal and everyone had something to say about it.

Now when I use vc I get SO many friend requests after games. And then when I join their party, it’s usually the same thing: they start asking for my IG, Discord, trying to flirt with me, etc.

The thing is, I genuinely just want teammates. I’m not looking for friends or anything romantic. So I started setting very clear boundaries and saying that I’m only looking to play.

In like 99% of cases, the moment I say that, they suddenly don’t want to play anymore.

But apart from that, I feel like playing as a woman in low elo is just a whole different experience. You never know if people will be completely normal, start treating you differently after hearing your voice, or scream at you for making one mistake.

So to other women who solo queue a lot: how do you deal with this? Do you mute people immediately, ignore it, keep using VC anyway, or have you found a way to find normal teammates?

I just want to play Valorant and have fun

getting on valorant after a long day is a really risky gamble. if you lose the first game your immediately tilted and it’s all downhill from there 🔥

I was just reminiscing about old Valorant watching my old clips and I found a recent clip from last year. It was the first clip I had with a Fist Bump Buddy. I got it by luck, from a very nice Rioter and I would call it, right place right time.

I had streamed for a while and met some Rioters, even one who promised me one but he lied, and I shared this story on someone else’s post where I finally got my very own buddy. I just think that it was fate(?) that I stumbled across that post and a Rioter also happened to see my comment, leading to him dming me. It’s such a low chance but it happened.

Now I’m curious about others’ stories about how they got theirs? Any stories to share?

I see lots of posts about people hating having a smurf on the enemy team. I understand the frustration if you are close to ranking up and just miss out because of them, but I can still have fun while trying to take them down.

On the other hand, I genuinely hate it so much more when the smurf is on my team.

I like playing this game weather I win or lose, but when a smurf is on my team they just hunt down the enemy at the the start of the round and the rest of us are just sitting around doing nothing. We could hunt the enemy with them but it’s just a slaughter that isn’t fun at all.

And I know people can have good days so I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about when someone is doing sheriff only and is lowest rank in the team winning 1v5s.

I wanted to know if other people feel this way as well or are just happy because they get free rr?

It's been over half a year since the Bandit was added, and more than two years since the Outlaw was added. After all this time, do you think they fulfilled whatever niche they were made for and do you think they have been overall good additions?
