Fun is an overstatement. Ranked in Valorant sucks lol. I do like the leaderboard aspect but the ranked overall is aids. It’s a coin flip simulator regarding if you get good teammates or not, not to mention toxicity. Seems like every game you curb stomp or get curbed stomped. Hardly any close games in my rank. Unless riot fixes the boosted accounts problems and smurfing (not as big of deal in my rank) I just have a hard time enjoying or having a good time. It’s just annoying when you get gold players on your team buying immortal accounts and so on.
I mean all ranked systems kinda suck unless you go to faceit and even then there are quite a few games that have ranked issues there as well, but least the ranked works though and surprisingly smurfs/boosted peopple are much more rare than people expect(although there are quite a few of them, it's more like every 4-10[depending on rank] games rather than like literally every match). It's playable, which is better than the shithole which is csgo mm. Also most games ranked systems are coinflip simulators with teammates unless it's not a team based game, I think for what it's worth, Riot is doing a decent job with ranked.
High elo pugs in faceit isn’t bad or if you queue like one of the hubs. There is always a given to have a bad team or teammates but it just seems more frequent in Valorant. Valorant has a bigger smurfing problems than any other game right now. I have friends who have like 10 accounts, boost them all and then sell them for easy $$$. Obviously takes time but one immortal account with skins can easily sell for 600 depending on the skins.
I do know for NA mm though. It’s a lot different from EU mm. There are players who are gold nova in mm who realistically shouldn’t be there. I have a friend who’s 2600 elo on faceit but stuck gn4 in mm. For whatever reason it’s impossible to gain elo in NA. You win 10 games in a row and it’s a coin flip if you rank up.
honestly boosting is much more of a problem than smurfing. Smurf accs now rank up way too quickly unless you intentionally lose every other game which will get ur acc banned. but it's honestly hard to lose rr that quickly in val so boosting can surprisingly last for quite a bit of time. but then again it takes a while so there's much less people than i expect. Also I don't like how people do boosting to make a quick profit. It's pretty yikes and I hope that industry stops because even if they add coaching stuff and actually helpful stuff, it's still not the best thing.
so in conclusion, yes val ranked is shit, but csgo ranked is a burning piece of dogshit. Honestly Idgaf that rito has all my info, what are they gonna do with it? at least it the anticheat works so that is good enough for me because I find that faceit in other games gets wayyyyy too sweaty and I like to relax so val ranked works well enough that I'll play it every so often.
If you ever played esea, I think esea has the best matchmaking system in all games. Assuming you’re from Europe, I know esea wasn’t as big there for pugs, people only used the league system. But it was always big in NA. It was bigger than faceit for a long time here until all the pros switched back to faceit for fpl. But esea has the best ranking system. At least it did at a point. The best part about it is the .block system. If you get a terrible or toxic teammate. You can .block them and they can never get on your team again. Best feature ever. I do like the top 500 leaderboard system in val. The only sucky part is you have to play a shit ton to get it. For someone like myself who goes to school full time and others who do the same or work. Can be quite hard to keep a rank like radiant or get it.
