3 months ago I created a thread "sova vs fade" asking people of the valorant community which one should I start maining. I was hard stuck plat and just couldn't get out so I was ready to change my class in order to see if that would help. Turns out I had a hidden talent for op-ing, started maining chamber and I successfully got out of plat, thru diamond and now I'm in ascendant. Hopefully I can push to asc 3 before the EP ends. I'm sad I reached this point late in the episode, I've heard about rank resets being rough, I started playing valorant first time this summer, it was mid act 1 episode 9. I hope episode 10 doesn't push me back all the way to plat again.

you will probably be placed around plat 2 - dia 1 in the reset

That would be tough, would basically put me back to square one again.

you'll be fine if you play enough, when i reached ascendant and got reset i went 0-5 triple negative in placements got placed in plat 2 and breezed through the ranks up until high dia2 low dia3

dia 2-3 should be a breeze for you next reset, and real climb starts on dia3-asc1 again. (probably)

Edited: you will be playing with former ascendants as well during the first few weeks. So dia will feel hard for a while but just know though that you are playing with mostly ex ascendants

It's a major coinflip, my personal level was never an issue, I would play good and would end up team MVP for most of my games, but it's just a gamble on what kind of creature you end up getting as a teammate. I got super lucky on my final push to ascendant, I went from dia2 to asc 1 in 2 days by winning 90% of my games (20 game winning streak at one point) and that was all due to a fortunate matchmaking rng...
One time it was a full on red carpet, dropped me down from dia2 to plat 3, I almost dropped to plat 2, I was just losing games for no reason, I almost gave up at that point and unninstalled.

it goes like that sometimes, but trust me you have gotten better if you reached a new peak, you may not feel it though. So what i mean is be confident

And just remember

  1. to not play rank when you are tilted (i was so down the rabbit hole, dropped from asc3 to dia3 in 2 days. before coming back up again)
  2. have fun and always think of what you can do in a given situation, cuz teammates are random. just do your best and dont overthink your losses
  3. take breaks in between games just to keep your mental level in top condition (either play alt or unrated after a few ranks if you still want to play)

Goodluck on your climb man, and have fun
