ascendant players is good enough to be radiant players, the difference between the two is that ascendant players actually touch grass

not necessarily true, some players might have gotten to ascendant by already not touching grass, they're already at their peak

Jett provides more value to the team than chamber even now.

I think this is not that hot of a take, chamber is good at picking the enemy team, unlike jett who can actually create space for the team.

Yeah but chambers trip is super powerful so I thought some people might see chamber as more valuable, so I thought this would be a hot take.

I just went through that ranked hell this past act and now im ascendant.

Once you go through plat~d2, you should be fine.

I noticed that when u queue with d3 and above, they are generally better players. Even if they lack game awareness, they will still have aim and more importantly, not have the throw attitude as much as plat players.

true, this is because, everyone feels like they have what it takes to be the best. They start developing unnecessary egos over the smallest of things and always think they are the best in the server. I have scrimmed against immortals here in India and none of them have basic etiquette. Literally trash talking left and right and then also have the audacity to complain about "camping" in a fucking tactical FPS.

i miss 4500 credit fast shooting op

ALSO they fucked up jett's nerf. they nerfed all the wrong stuff. Money and amount of smokes wasnt the problem RIP

split is the worst map they had ever release. good fucking riddance I hate that dogshit map

split had so much verticality on the sites which i miss
all the rafters and actually high up heaven spots added a lot of fun to angles
it also made entrying on jett really fun, especially on A site where you could dash updraft into heaven from the rafter and kill the defender on ramp from behind

I like Split and all that verticality play... but the fact that is SO MUCH CT-sided ruins the map imo

They should make the abilities cheaper, already nerfed it to oblivion. The smoke should be cheaper imo.

Dude this jett main complain to much, no wonder they are one of the most toxic player in val community

Name just one agent that have passive abilities other than jett, free no charge no need kill etc, its just free floating around from higher place to another higher place,

also have free escape skill, smoke can one way everwhere and anytime dont need to do lineup sh!t like other agents

If u cant win with jett anymore, u just bad at aiming

I mean they nerfed the way the dash works and it was the right call, also I think the smokes and the cost are fine at this point, it was just a bandage nerf before they did the dash nerf.

Cypher is fine, but it takes a lot of effort to get good at, and setting up his trips and specific cages can be a pain.

At least when you mess up Viper one ways, you can pick the orb back up as an example. Some of his trips are also very finicky.

Riot cheaped out on the design of harbor. His ult looks so bad, and his moving wall looks weird and disjointed for some reason.

they only focused on his trailer and character desing to look cool and forgot to make the character actually usable

same thing happened with Yoru, but i think is far more important to have a bigger amount of functional support characters than duelists

Unless they rework him, Harbor isn't viable even on a double controller strat
Playing defense at B site on Icebox is like half a game playing Retake Simulator
Split, together with Ascent, on ranked, are the two most balanced maps in the game
Bind is the best map on Valorant
The Riot dev that created the concept of Viper util hurting his allies should've been fired the moment the game released

I mean, she's the only agent that uses mask to don't take damage, but since the Duality lore vid, it doesn't make sense (cuz alpha-earth can be immune to her poison, but omega-earth don't)

i've been buying frenzy only for pistol rounds and the amount of times i get 4k is insane, the price of that weapon needs to increase
