It's almost like CHESS, everyone copies everyone. Everyone does the same shit at the beginning of the round. If you can't afford a PHANTOM or a VANDAL --> you save until you can afford. I've never seen a specter be used outside of ECO/2nd ROUND play. This just makes the gameplay even more STALE, Im not blaming teams but im more specifically blaming how this game is setup. The fix for the first problem would probably be introducing AGENT bans with MAP bans, ALSO with how ranked is right now its so fucked. I play on 12ms consistently and get shit on by higher ping. How is it possible for me to die to a guy I haven't even seen yet on my screen? MMR is also another thing, How come my teammates have no Idea what the fuck is going on but the opponets on my team are prime NATS with their lurking reyna and the second coming of YAY who just randomly 1 tap and whiff to other teammates?
Is VALORANT boring?
that is ~100 miliseconds(this is my upper estimate btw) of a second between times of seeing when i used .25x speed. (in other words 25 ms) the ping difference between 8 and 72 is 64, so he sees you 25 mili seconds before but your shot would register 64 seconds before his, so your reaction time would have to be at least 40 ms slower assuming yall have the same setup....
If you genuinely think that people with higher ping have an advantage this is so wrong, Unless the person who has lower ping has a slow reaction time then he should win every single duel, Pro players and streamers literally cry when the person they are playing against has 10 or 20 ms less and you here want to tell me that a person having 40 - 70 ping has an advantage over someone who has 12ms?? This is huge cope ngl. Let me explain to you something, the movement in any online competitive game is synchronized by the server to prevent players from cheating, having lower ping means that the distance between you and the server is shorter and your connection to the server is better, which means that you are getting information from the server faster than someone who has a higher ping , the information of his movement isn't dependent on his ping but on the overall server synchronization and since you have lower ping that means his position in the screen is sent to you before your position is sent to him, also there are two other important factors that contribute to that beside ping , which is your Screen Hz and your FPS , the higher those values are, the faster your enemy can see you as well , I have read once that every 100 fps can translate into 1ms difference. Btw I mostly play on 70 to 80 ping and I can almost swear to you that every single time what you are talking about happens , it is from a lower ping player not a higher ping one, the same moment they appear on my screen is the same moment they fire and what is even worse is that sometimes when I reply back the clip, I find my bullet tracer animation( the yellow explosion one) right on his head showing that my bullet landed, but the server registers his hit before mine because he has lower ping.
yea valorant is in a very stale spot rn its not exciting to play it nor fun to play. alot of people that are playing valorant are only doing it because its their job, or they have nothing else to do. gameplay wise is the same since the game launched and the game is full of throwers and bad matchmaking, no comms shitty map pool and they keep bring back boring maps with little to no changes and if someone has better ping than you, you auto lose.
