Guess my rank please. I love Iso :D
I come from CSGO where I played at a pretty high level (Rank A ESEA), so coming to Valorant was easy for me. I have been Immortal every Act since Beta on multiple accounts.
I created the account in the clip about 3 weeks ago. It started at Plat 1 and is currently Diamond 3.
My aim and mechanics are definitely not the greatest, but I understand the game and what the best percentage play is at any given time.
Many people think you need insane aim + mechanics to reach Immortal+, but you don't. In terms of aim, you just need to be able to secure the kill that's given to you.
Many people in Ascendant and below just ADAD 2 tap burst like robots 😹. Crouching spraying is extremely effective if you don't miss.
Understanding what the best percentage play is is the most difficult part. On this D3 account, I have to force myself to not speak or backseat, because no one understands what the best play is 😹
taking notes! sorry for sounding a tad bit rude, I just got hella pissed at the iso gameplay (not necessarily you) since he's unbearable in ranked atm and a must-pick for a must-win.
I'm usually toxic in ranked (but don't voice it and just self-tilt), and I'm tryna fix that mental. i just run it down and entry as raze and obviously I get dinked mid air bc I don't wait for util. you have any clue how you condition yourself for teamplay?
i have solid ACS and K/D from entrying but I have barely above average KAST% and a very, very low win rate%.
Alright it's been 6 days since that game and I went from Diamond 1 to Ascendant 3 on this fresh account.
Honestly, I'm a Yoru main and it's very easy to rank up as Yoru if you have good aim and game sense. I'd say it's much harder to rank up as a Raze main because your mechanics need to be extremely good. It's still doable of course, but it does require more team coordination for Raze.
During my climb on this account, I've noticed that these diamond-ascendant players make a LOT of mistakes. Basically, in every situation, there are high percentage plays and low percentage plays. No one in these lobbies seems to be able to recognize what the high percentage play is.
I will point out to a teammate what they should have done after the round ends, however, it's usually met by "reason X" or "reason Y", and their logic just makes no sense.
I've also not been top fragging every game during this climb. In fact, I've had a couple of bottom fragging games, but, I'm still able to win these games because I know how to contribute to a round win without fragging out.
I guess my advice would be to recognize what the most optimal play is in any given situation. However, this takes a lot of practice and experience to understand. If you're able to do this though, you will definitely rank up fast.
team comp looks like around plat they really like playing random inti like gekko on non gekko maps, also 2 sages in 1 game is also a sign that it's low to mid elo, not to mention enemy team not having an entry duel, and both teams lack raze/breach where they still dominate this map even after the nerfs, you are hitting your shoots but i assume you wont clip a regular clip so this is your best clip so far and not how you regularly play, you crosshair placement is not bad but not ideal, you have a certin delay whenever you kill someone like you have to remind yourself to aim back and hold crosshair placement, this delay is very noticed within the players who are still learning the fundementals but are still not getting good at it, so you arent silver/gold/plat, you fail to check cruical corners in this map where if went not checked could lead to loses, i can't comment on your util since its iso this agent has like a single good ability, but your vulnerability is semi good, the first one was useless since it's smoked, slowed, AND walled, so you are legit auto piloting your abilties, but your second vulnerability was decent, your clove was buying a sheriff on a full buy, this is a sign of not understanding eco and he prob forced when the team was saving
i'll say around dia 1-2
