First thing I wanna say is that if youre playing more than 60ish hours an act, think about playing on a second account. Helps with not running into the same people, you dont think about your rank as much and generally its just nice to have another account you can hop on and play without worrying about your stats or whatever. It can be used as a test account as well if you want to learn new characters or work on something.

So your KAST% is pretty good, a little bit better on defence which is natural especially when youre playing sentinel. Its a little low on attack, and im just guessing your playstyle but if you like to lurk a lot, theres no harm in playing with your team as sentinel especially as Cypher because his cages are a very good entry tool. Generally keep an eye on your team positioning and play to be traded if youre going first, play to be the person that gets the trade if youre second.

Another tip on that, play with your most aggressive teammate if possible. If you have a tiktok jett running it down in post plants, follow them, get the trade and fall back. I know it sucks to play that way but its kinda what is needed sadly.

For characters, I dont think the duelist is working. Low win rate, low entry success rate especially on attack (.40), and generally not the stats you want to see from your Jett player. Your sentinels look great, good win rate and generally good KAST%. It would be good to have another role you can play, I would recommend either Gekko, Clove or Omen. Gekko is strong current meta and is good at both teamplay and solo play. Also great ult. If youre super confident in your mechanics, play Clove. Super strong, best win rate in the game at Immo3/Radiant so their is also longevity in playing them. Omen is very, very strong at carrying on smokes in my opinion, every map has set ups and plays that can be done as one offs to basically win rounds by yourself. Whatever seems the most comfortable to you, try them out on that second account and see who works. (If you do want to keep playing duelist, I'll add that you can focus duelist on your second account, I see you played duelist pretty much every act until now. You really need to work on that entry success rate though, either pathing or mechanics are your issue if I was to guess)

Your pistol rounds arent working, whatever youre doing try and make changes. Something like some shorty classic stuff on pistol, classic armour etc. I personally seen a MASSIVE boost in my pistol rounds after swapping off the ghost and think its a great idea generally. For ecos try run the stinger more. Super underrated gun, generally good for one in a lot of scenarios and can easily snowball much easier than a sheriff. I would also try use the OP more, its just broken in ranked and most people cant deal with it properly. Overall try and integrate the stinger, shorty, OP and classic on pistol rounds.

I also want to add for second round buys, Im very very high on the outlaw and stinger buys because of how good they are on 3rd round. Outlaw is basically guranteed kills on second round and chances at one shots on third round, always check tab menu to see who cant play full armour as well. Stinger deletes close range and basically gives you a rifle for free.

Looking at map win rates, pretty much every map is brought down by not playing those sentinels. Most maps are pretty good looking purely at the sentinel games, Icebox seems great with Viper so you could keep that although im generally against one map characters like her.

The way I would balance games between a main a second account would be any warm up games on second, MAX 3 games on main, any more games you play, play on second. Also remember it isnt a smurf, its a second account and you want to try your best each game.

Your account at first glance looks great so itll probably be shorter than a lot of the others.

Your attack KAST% is actually better than your defence, so I would imagine that means youre either a little too passive or a little too aggressive on defence. Whatever way you lean, try and be unpredictable. Be aggressive some rounds, passive others. A lower KAST on defence is a better problem to have imo and should be easier to fix, keep an eye on it when youre in game. Isnt a massive issue as it still is 72.5% which is pretty good.

Your weapon variety is pretty low but your rounds dont look all that bad. I dont really like the spectre use even though it is working, people in higher ranks will be getting better and better at converting the anti-bonus without much damage against it. Try to integrate some outlaw and stinger as they fuck some people up on round 3.

Try play a little more Omen as well, seems to be working great. You can also try add some Gekko for filling on maps when its needed, super easy to play agent and really good at playing solo and with your team.

I know Abyss is new but try and work on it a little bit, whether thats running about in a custom to feel familiar with the crosshair placement and entry pathing or trying new agents like Omen (who has some great cheese plays for eco) or Gekko as theyre both very strong on the map.

Just general tips now because everything else looks pretty good in the tracker but try not to play too many games back to back, take small 15-20 minute breaks and then do a DM and play again or if you really want (although a little low on hours for this) make a second account and use it to warm up/try new agents.

Your tracker looks pretty good, playing like that would probably make you climb a lot, most likely up to Ascendant 3 or Immo 1 imo

So yeah obiously there are mechanical issues so first you should be looking into that. I recommend DMs, I did that myself in Valorant to make myself consistent. Generally aim for 2 DMs per comp match and try not to deviate from that. If that becomes boring to you, try TDM and if you dont like that, start looking into aimlabs/kovaaks. I never use aimlabs or kovaaks but I know it works for some people as many pros use it. Focus on some entry pathing as well, look at some top ranked players (dont watch pro for pathing, it is very different) and copy the way they move in custom games. Once you feel comfortable, start integrating it.

For agents, cut Deadlock, Harbor and Reyna. Deadlock is very hit or miss and it just isnt working. Harbor is by far the worst ranked agent in the game with 0 carry potential, youre playing at a detriment with him. Reyna you need to be the best mechanical player on the server and right now, that isnt you. If I was to give recommendations, try Raze, Yoru and Clove. Clove is very simple to play and very good at learning proper smoke timings, trading and discipline. Raze and Yoru are harder to play but right now, based on win rate, they are working. I really dont recommend flexing if you want to improve as a player because it splits your focus too much so focus on those main 3 agents imo

If you can, review your pistol rounds because losing a pistol round is basically losing 2 and the current stats arent good. Mix up what youre currently doing, maybe go for set strats on different maps that you do every pistol round. I did this and now I am insanely consistent on pistol rounds, always good for at least 1 and quite ofter win the round for my team off those set plays. Take the spectre out of your gun pool, replace it with stinger instead. A tip for the stinger is always commit if youre going for a kill. Never tap fire, it doesnt work, theres a reason sliggy calls it the EU stinger use. Add the outlaw, you seem good with snipers and that is just free kills. Works great round 2, carries good power into round 3. Add the shorty for your ecos, have some cheese strats you can do as one offs that can get you one with a chance of snowballing.

For maps, as long as you stick to the agents I said earlier, the only trouble maps I see are haven and sunset. For haven, you need to get a grasp of timings and map position. Because the map is so big, having and maintaining map control is a pain. Think of all the times someone might be in garage or someone could be in mid, it really cuts your options. Try to add that, take control of areas and chill, a lot of the time enemies freak out and peak for a free kill. Also avoid closed areas like garage and sewer on eco rounds, just a general tip. For sunset, think of the map like ascent. Once the spike is down, the round should be won as sites are awful to retake in ranked (contrary to pro). Prioritise strong plant spots, especially on B for the spam in main. The map isnt as focused with map control, so try and hit the site that you find to be the weakest, generally the A site if they have a Cypher.

Try follow the rule of 2 and a half, hit the same site for the first 2 rounds then fake on round 3, works an insane amount of times.

Your entry isnt that bad compared to the rest of your stats but be careful with timings, make sure your team can trade you and make sure your spacing is at least decent. Whenever I play with a duelist that does that, it makes the world of a difference. Ideally you want your KAST% to be 75% with a difference of 1% between sides, right now it is 67.4 on attack and 70.8 on defence. This kind of tells me your entry can be better and most likely, that low KAST is from overstepping on those entries as you otherwise seem like a pretty passive player.

Make sure you use your mic and are pretty vocal about what util you want and where for your entry, dont be afraid to ask for smokes in a certain place for a cheese play liek double satcheling in with a shorty or whatever, just make sure to ask for it.

Right now I think your most important things are making sure you keep a set of 3 or 4 agents you always play, working on mechanics and entry pathing and pistol rounds.

General stats wise, great but I would work on attack. you KAST is 6% lower on attack compared to your great defence. You have good entries so I imagine that its maybe overstepping though it could be a few other things.

You stretch yourself super thin by flexing, choose a set of 3 or 4 characters you want to play and stick with them. Cant really say who as you have great stats on them all but you can choose yourself, I would recommend at 2 different roles. I would avoid characters like Astra, Clove, Sova etc as they rely heavily on teamwork with little solo carry potential. Otherwise, choose who you like and stick with them.

Your maps look good, just make sure you dont play too many characters on one map. For bind, I recommend Raze first pick then Cypher. For sunset, I would recommend Cypher, then Raze and another character if you want.

Your weapons look decent, add more OP and Outlaw, add more Stinger, maybe add some Judge and cut back on Phantom usage if youre super comfortable on the Vandal, using both makes people more inconsistent than if they use one. Also try replace the sheriff with the stinger when you can, when you would buy sheriff light/heavy replace it with stinger light, much more consistent weapon and easier to snowball with.

Generally you look much better this act than last, keep doing what youre doing now and you easily start ranking up pretty quickly. If you start to play 60+ hours an act, think about a second account as well. This isnt a smurf, you try as hard as you can every game and it should match your main account in rank or be better. That way you can play more games without worrying about stats, rank etc. Then it can also be used for testing new agents, new ideas, new strats and all things like that

Thank you a ton, only problem for me is I am way more comfortable on sentinels because of lurk potential and because entrying in soloq/duoq is a nightmare, especially on solo duel but my main duo is imm3 peak sentinel lurk only player who clashes with my playstyle so I end up having to flex a lot.

Other than that 1 problem you have a ton of good advice, will make sure to bookmark this somewhere.

Thank you a ton!

yeah def heard on the duelist part, i really only play duelist when we are on for example sunset without a raze or ascent without a jett and im last to pick, im always doing something else when agent select starts and a lot of the time i end up filling duelist in which i pick jett

Team comp doesnt matter below immortal 3, you can easily play without a duelist. Use what youre comfortable with always and never flex unless you want to be inconsistent I used to flex and the change it made was insane.
