This is more of a question and maybe a discussion thread, but I was planning on studying abroad for school to Australia and it got me wondering if maybe someone here knows how the Australian ranked is versus North America.

Sem1- [#2]why would you waste your time with Valorant when you are studying abroad? There's so much to see and experience, you will just come back with regrets.
I'll be there for 4 months if I don't have any downtime at all I'm just gonna be exhausted and miserable. I'm not going to be busy 24/7

I studied for half a year in China, was out with friends almost every day and there's still so much I wish I could see there
Larry [#7]Don’t take this the wrong way but if you are planning to study aboard, please do not waste your time with Valorant and enjoy your time and experience while you are there.
I'm not planning on it, but if I happen to get some freetime to even play at all I might. Like I said I was just wondering
Bob [#8]The queue times are longer and the community is much smaller; in reference to some of these other comments, there isn't much to do in Australia honestly but the food is a lot better there and there isn't as many NPCs - also, KFC is really good over there.
Weird but kinda cool fact about KFC

If anywhere it would be Newcastle at the University of Newcastle Australia

do NOT go to newcastle, england
Danny [#18]bro no shot these people think he'll have literally no time to game
he's going to australia
like australia's an interesting place and all, but I don't think there's so much to do that he'll never have any down time at all
Lmao they think I'm gonna be out on a 24/7 safari or somin

Tf are NPCS

Exactly lol. As if how you choose to spend some of your free time isn't up to you.

Not so many entertainments in Australia, game is a good way to pass your night
plas [#25]did u not read
Did you not read the comment either?
The dude is saying dont spend your downtime playing valorant. Experience the country and environment as much as you can, as not many people are able to study abroad.
Staying inside plying videogames is why he's saying you'll come back with regrets, and you didn't experience the perks of studying abroad.
Also with his comment. he said he studied abroad. there's still so much he wishes he could see.
I'm with Sem1- with this.
Take advantage of going to a new country, and make memories and experiences. Who cares about a few months away from a video game.
BananaBread [#17]Still better than birmingham
Tbh, pretty much everywhere is better than Birmingham.

"if I don't have any downtime at all I'm just gonna be exhausted and miserable. I'm not going to be busy 24/7"
read.
not everyone likes exploring 24/7 especially if there isnt really that much going on (from other replies).

Studying is his main focus, so anything outside of that, would be considered downtime. going out and exploring, or just spending the day at a beach. That is also downtime.
If he spends it just playing ranked on valorant all day, go for it. If he goes out, go for it.
Sem1-, was just saying dont do something you could potentially regret. He's going to another country to study, which is usually a once in a lifetime chance. Squandering it by playing videogames just seems like a waste of an opportunity.
We're also not saying he can't play games. it's all his choice in what he does.
Also with countries being interesting, etc. It's all in the eyes of the beholder. I find the UK god awful boring. Some people come here and spend weeks doing random shit I would never think was interesting.
I also didn't read all the comments below either. Was just responding with the comments above, as context. OP stated he was just wondering, about it. That's fine. It's fine if he did stay inside. I'm just trying to add onto what Sem1 was talking about, as he's also talking from experience of handling a similar situation.

dont listen to these fools, australia aint that interesting, spend your time how you want
Bait_Detector [#29]NA RANKED - Good Communication, Good Queue times, Good Aim
Australia RANKED - Monkey Sex
While I do like all that NA has to offer. It looks like australia has the most benefits here
plas [#25]did u not read
Read what? That for him the only downtime is playing games? IDK if you have studied abroad, but it's always a clown fiesta when it comes to studying and they designed your stay for you to experience the country and culture even though nobody will explicitly write it down they kinda expect that from you. We would take a whole week off and fly away to see the mountains for example and nobody would bat an eye. Of course don't overdo it since they have the power to expel you if you don't show up at all, but that's common sense.
Studying is really just a small part of studying abroad in my opinion. Also 4 months will be gone before you even realize it. Someone said that it's a good way to pass the night, well to me it's not, I'd rather eat out with friends or do literally anything other than gaming.
trola [#36]he only asked and wanted the answer of his question, why people here trying to give him advice and acting like his parents lmao
It's from a good place though, and I understand what they mean lmao it's not like anyone is giving the advice to bash me or anything so I'm not too worried
Mjtchell [#5]Easy Radiant top 500
You actually have to compete in the APAC leaderboard I think which consists of players from SEA, India, Korea and Japan. Pretty tough to become radiant there tbh.

So when I come back to NA I'll be cracked

I’m pretty sure he’s going to study not to find women 💀
yaiima0 [#41]I’m pretty sure he’s going to study not to find women 💀
I just wanted to point out that Australia has the most attractive women in the world.
Australia has a lot of fun places to explore, try not to waste too much time playing valor. I'm a very low rank in Sydney servers and 50% of my rank is terrible and the other 50% hit every headshot, it'll be a lot different than you think. Also btw, you'll see spiders but you will never get bitten, or really rarely mosquitoes and whatever bug that gets on me when I'm sleeping and bites me 500 times is what you should be scared off
Good luck!
Scottyboi30 [#44]australian ranked is inconsistent cuz the leaderboard is bunched with APAC. its still good but from what ive watched NA standards are higher it a higher elo. Im D3 rn and some of these immos i play with are so weird.
Lmao so far I've gotten out of this that Australia is just undpredictable

Like i said its only really in my down time that I plan on playing really. Also I love spiders and snakes and all that stuff so shouldnt bother me much

Everyone needs to remember if I'm gonna be there for four+ months I'm not gonna be doing something constantly. I will have down time that I can use where I won't be exploring.

+100 social credit
Mjtchell [#45]Lmao so far I've gotten out of this that Australia is just undpredictable
yea u get ur cracked immortal jett mains and ur boosted diamond reyna mains
latex [#48]+100 social credit
Funnily enough my Zhima credit is dogshit, it was like 400 so at the end of my stay I couldn't even rent out the bicycles in the small cities. My credit tanked, because I rented out an electronic bike and didn't return it to the correct place so I got fined and my stupid ass that couldn't read Chinese didn't know that I had to pay it, so it just sat there in alipay and kept getting bigger lol
IDK if the social credit is somehow linked to it or if it's the same, but from that time it probably went down even more, since I had to return my debit card, but I just took it with me lol. Also we still kept using WeChat to chat (my non Chinese friends who I made there) and we kinda memed and talked shit about China, so I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon to see all the things I missed.
