Valorant Hot Takes

I'm bored as fuck so let's get controversial and piss people off... These are my opinion btw

Release Date Killjoy is a top 5 agent of all time and criminally underrated
Your peak rank doesn't count if it was before episode 7 act 3 (basically a year ago)
If there was double elimination in the 2021 Valorant Champions, Liquid would have won it instead of Acend
MMR is inherently flawed as there are so many people stuck in Ascendant right now with extremely different skill sets ranging from avg rank games of plat to avg rank games of imm3 (atleast in NA this is true)
The evori dreamwings bundle is mid as fuck
Minima sheriff is so fucking stupid that it is actually clean asf
The currently halloween bundle is a giant fucking scam
Hitting Immortal 1 in NA servers now is more impressive than it was to hit Immortal 3 Before Ascendant was a rank
Neon ult is the best ult in the game by far right now (idk if this one is really that controversial)
Movement is 90% of aim and thats why having a low sens is better
Different people should gain less/lose more based on the agents they play, for example: it's really hard to do anything playing sentinel such as KJ if your team can't entry and your playing retake simulator the whole game, so you shouldn't lose 20-30rr for a 13-2 game that you played mid in
1v1s don't mean jack shit
Riot adding phone number verification would pretty much eliminate the smurf situation in silver/gold/plat

Thats not a hot take, thats stupidity... there are others that dont make sense, but this one just jumps out

What do you mean? Double-Elimination changed a lot of things in champs and other tournaments. Giving the best overall team another chance at life would have changed the result 100%

yea, but you said it like the game between liquid and acend was close, it wasnt.....it was a beating and if they met again in a BO5 it would have been a beating once more, so in that case, single elimination didnt make a difference for TL

Not true. It was a bad game for liquid 100% but your forgetting that Liquid Curb Stomped Acend 1 month earlier in Red Bull Homeground in a B05. 1 more chance for both teams to fix strategy and liquid don't have a bad game and I think liquid beat KRU, then beat M3/Gambit, and then win it all. They dominated every other team they played that tournament and Acend lost in the first game but had it called back because of a cypher cam

not bad but I don't think liquid would've won, evori dreamwings isn't thatt bad, minima is NOT clean, and neon ult is one of but not the best ults

Hot take: if we're taking the cost of the ult into account, and by extension how often you can get it, then Cypher
