Decently often. I think comming very little is fine but straight no comm if you have info that is necessaey to win rounds is a soft throw, like if you know about a lurker or some guy pushing through a smoke or whatever and your comm is the difference between your teammate getting a kill and him getting killed than its a throw.

I think a lot of people like soft throw rankes, dont comm, dont do their roles job, dont play with the team , tilt and give away rounds because they 'dont care' etc. Its more of a bad mental issue than people delibreately losing games

how often do you think, im thinking one proper throw every 10 games. there is just some games that you are gonna lose no matter what

I mean i would say that you will get teammates thaf make it 'impossible' to win games more than once in 10 games (like a triple negative guy who no comms because he just gets sad about how badly he is playing), however i think only like 1/30 games will have a guy who decides that his next game will be a loss before they start queuing.

I think if you're not comming well then it counts as throwing. Not comming imo is more beneficial to the team than muddy, distracting, or incorrect comms. That doesn't mean not comming isn't throwing, per se... just less so. Obviously if you have 5 people comming intelligently the game is so much easier and also more fun, but no comming isn't as bad of an offense. Plus there could always be irl factors to not comming, especially in lower ranks (no mic, in a loud environment, have been harassed before, etc.)

I had a game the other day where all 5 people were comming and we won 13-4 literally just based off of that. It was glorious 🥲

comms are unnecessary unless you're immortal or higher, they're extremely overrated and rarely actually affect the outcome of the round. for clarification I mean info comms, if you're calling where your team should go etc that's great but half the time they won't even listen.

id have to disagree, most comms are good like calling out damage/location of enemies/rotations

yes they're good, I'm saying they're unnecessary. people act like games are unwinnable without comms when the comms are rarely the difference maker is my point

As a former member of the valorant thrower community I can give a detailed response
Yes we enjoy it it’s fun
No our parents are not divorced we don’t care about the attention
No we aren’t no life’s we’re on the game the same amount as you

Hi! Here to respond, yes trolling does get boring after I’d say around 2 games and that’s when most trollers get off, anything after that and I would agree you are a no life. The first 2 games are fun

Some people have different reason to troll I can’t speak for everyone, I did it to drop elo so yes -rr was good for me. But others just get bored and don’t care about their elo and find a bit of trolling fun because it’s different and unorthodox to how they usually play

Trolling is subjective! A player might find fun in how different trolling is compared to trying in their game. Or maybe they do look for attention but I can’t confirm this isn’t the case for everyone! Thanks for asking!

i wasnt asking, im already getting a stroke trying to comprehend the amount of ways ur trying to explain other reasons for throwing the game for 4 other people, other than either being a complete degenerate or an attention starved man child?

To answer your question, YES! There are more reason to troll than the reasons you provided.

People find it fun
In ranked usually 5 people are happy because they win and 5 aren’t, but if you troll you are ensuring 6 players are happy. You and the 5 on the other team!
Some may look for attention but they are still children and have fun

To drop to a lower elo

I assure you number 3 and 5 are valid, I can confirm 2 was meant for a little giggle but it is still mathematically correct but the logic is flawed. But rest assured I do agree that some trollers are no life’s not all are!

probably 1 in 10 games has a guy that starts throwing because something didnt go exactly as he wanted it to. those types of players also have a hard time understanding the other players pov, terribly narcissistic and self centered view, imo they should off themselves

I’m Immortal. I’ll rarely hard throw, but I do turn off comms for about 50% of my games because of the following reasons:

1) No one is listening to my comms
2) We just blatantly threw a round and no one cared
3) My teammates seem hopeless

The only time I keep comms on is if my teammates seem good and care about man advantage, and are actively making good comms.
