how can you be horrible at the game and still enjoy it?
i honestly feel that plat and diamond are the best ranks tbh. Im only silver but my guess is that in those ranks you ain't stressing as much cuz they have great mechanics and they comm unlike lower ranks, but higher ranks like ascendent + they either trying to reach immortal or radiant so they grind constantly and arent chill as much
Because its a video game. I dont only play it because I want to be the best, I play it because I want to have fun. And yes a large part of that is winning/playing well but I can still do that in lower levels-recently I had 2 back to back stinkers which is very rare for me but today I loaded up a game and fryed going 33-16 (https://tracker.gg/valorant/match/bd0d8c89-1b3b-42aa-b2e1-d249a7145ce9) and had a lot of fun while doing it.
TDM, swiftplay. just listen to music run around hit heads or go for knife kills try different agents n stuff. i hit diamond after playing like 30 games which isnt that high but i started off bronze in 2022 on a shit laptop and then basically never played until 2024 after getting a pc. its just effort to try play multiple games whilst enjoying yourself (london servers filled w the french) idc to grind up higher either. plus marvel rivals is really fun
