Two 9-3's...Besides curses, lets acknowledge the real elephant in the room. Map balance is pure 100% A$$. Non biased fan of the game.

Bozos at Riot want to axe Icebox one of the most balanced maps instead of Ascent. With the same stale comps and stale meta. A map that's been in rotation longer is getting favored simply because it's the one it's community prefers.

Really doing a good job trying to make your game as uninteresting to watch as possible. You have 21 agents in the game and only 5 are considered viable in pro play of your most popular map.

GG

She is, but I don't like bind, I'm not a fan of the teleports, we'll see how it is with the new changes.

NGL i'm a bit salty they're taking out Icebox and nerfing Viper. IMO Ascent is just stale. Just look at pro comps on that map, says it all. No innovation, just cookie cutter comps. They really coming for my favorite agent again...So crazy how they nerfed, then buffed, and now nerfing her even more I am presuming? Doesn't make sense...

Got really good at ICEBOX too, but also they're putting in bind which is worse. Might just take a break if icebox isn't back by end of act 3.

Nah my guy this ain’t it. Did you look at his tracker?

He plays 15-17 games of ranked in a day pretty regularly. He’s played 150 ish ranked games just this act alone. Thats entirely too much time spent to not improve or stay hard stuck in silver. It’s clear he has hit a plateau of some sort.

Just mindlessly queuing more at this rate will not aid him. He would actually benefit from playing less ranked in this case and studying vods, doing coaching (you need someone with experience to identify and help you eliminate or reduce your bad habits). Playing DMs, learning agents in customs, spending time in the range, etc. just my 2 cents. It’s a public forum after all, wouldn’t discourage advice here…

Going back it looks like Val is his first FPS, so your "play the game and you'll get better" statement still holds somewhat. I would just make sure he understands that just playing comp more isn’t gonna help as much as intentional practice in the game ALONG with ranked.

Maybe OP sets a healthy limit. No more than 7 ranked games a day. Other time should be devoted to just having fun, practicing skills and game knowledge and not worrying about ranked or your stats in ranked.

KAST is C...get your KAST to A or S and you will climb by default, doesn't even matter if the rest of your other stats are shit really IMO KAST is the biggest factor for climbing ranked...Which means, try not to die first every round and try to play with your team/ get trades.

You probably still have a good winrate cause you have average KAST and your teammates carry you, find ways to improve or just be happy playing in silver :) I wish my games were silver sometimes...Everyone in my ELO is a try hard. Ain't nothing wrong with being silver, don't listen to twitch chat LOL.

Do what is best for you, only you know when you've had enough or when you are truly finished. If you're not sure, then don't worry about it. In time it will be clear. Me personally I've played off and on since beta and recently have played the most games of valorant since I was silver a year and a half ago, trying to climb to immortal...Sometimes i just play unrated all episode long, there are many ways to play the game. One is only finished if they no longer enjoy themselves, and don't play for the fun of it or to improve...Also, if you're trying to go pro, then yes, give up. LOL

Every team I root for crumbles before my eyes… it’s better for me to appreciate and love from a distance. 💔

It's called GAME, kiddo. "Rizz" just reminds me of the restaurant chain "Sizzler"

dies of cringe

haha Tarik n00b

Nvm. Don’t care.

33. Ascendant 3 gamer, still young baby. Age ain’t nothing but a number.

I mean, when developers have spawns set so that you spawn right behind enemies in deathmatch STILL, its not surprise deathmatch isnt optimal, but there isnt a right or wrong way to do it IMO. As annoying as it can be to fight those people, usually its not a problem if youre just playing your game...practicing what you need to practice, but I agree the mode needs big changes.

MAYBE EVEN - HEAR ME OUT...Disable shiftwalking in DM??? You can still crouch and crouch walk. Fix up spawns, no kill limit, players can come and go. A lot more goes into it and I'm sure it's harder to balance than one would imagine

YES, but hes the only one who is "Angeleno" Iunno, just thought it was funny how most other agents hail from a country in their agent bios (Agent select screen) but he hails from a city. The only agent in the game. Just FYI

iunno bruh, the way y'all be acting in my games...I'll wait til i hear about how the first few events go before I attend any LOL

besides omen and kayo (phantom and machine) respectively

Every other agent in the game hails from a country but Gekko is the only agent who is "Angeleno"

I guess LA is it's own country.

Ass 2

They are certified demons in the server.

He balled out on Guild you just weren't there.

she called him a "wet blanket". LMAOOOooo

What a talent, that is all. They never have the comeback without Less popping off on Split and Lotus, he had so many fights I felt he had no business winning. Whole LOUD roster is very good but that dude is a Gamer. Someone posted a LESS thread saying he in top 3 best sentinel a couple weeks back, I kind of laughed at it but now I'm eating my words. I would say after this tourney he might be the best. Respects.

heart says FNC, brain says NAVI.

again, im just laughing at you kids and your hater boners for a bald man nicknamed "top G"

Out of all the top 4 teams they had the stats that were lowest in comparison. They were never going to beat LOUD in their home turf, to do as well as they did is testament to their pedigree.

The type of people that have a hate boner for Andrew Tate make me want to like him more just because they're the type of people that I already can't fucking stand anyway and it's hilarious to see them seethe over everything he says

me neither, I dgaf what happens to him, its funny you call me a tatetard, thats what hurt people like to do. Im just calling you out on your bullshit. Guess that makes me a tatetard ROFL!!

I'm just laughing at your hate boner for the guy but you do you. Done with your silliness.

hahahhaahhaa you're not real.

"tAtE mAdE mAi brOthEr hAtE mE fOr bEiNg gAy"

Um maybe your fam or bro were homophobic to begin with.

brain dead take.

Oh no, not you blaming someone else for your problems. "TATE made people in my life say mean words to me"
Do you not realize how ridiculous you sound to any sane person? Take some responsibility for yourself and have some pride. Tates rhetoric or ideals aren't even original its the same regurgitated manosphere bullshit from 10 years ago. Just recycled and reformatted. You are mad at a paid actor my friend.

Not that I believe you, but you should be thanking Tate for outing the fake people in your life if that's the case, that is all.

sorry for your loss bro

Whats crazy to me is its been what, 60 days now and they still have 0 charges on them?? Yet they are still being detained. I unno Romania doesn't look like they have shit. So whats really going on? Where are the charges?

If some parasocial relationship your relative had with bald internet celebrity dubbed "top G" was enough to ruin your bond with said family member, then I wager it was probably not a very strong bond to begin with. Sorry I dont make rules, just speak truth.

I discovered Tate 4 years ago before it was cool to know about him, I use to watch his old Youtube videos for a good laugh and some of his ideas were cool but other times I'd be like "ugh yeah this guy is off the goop" or "he must be trolling" either way. I was years ahead of people, once again.

Iunno why there is a vendetta against him but then again people are as soft as charmin ultra nowadays, its as simple as not clicking a link or muting / blocking someone, but you people always want to complain. I unsubscribed to his Youtube when he started becoming unfunny to me, very simple solution I suggest you all do. If you are not liking the channel, then fucking change it. What is wrong with taking the easy way out? Instead you want to cry about it on twitter or VLR don your pitchforks and waste your lives...LOL!!!

Here is a little secret, these type of threads actually make men like him more influential.

Some family member of yours was influenced by him in a negative way? Good, get use to it. It's going to happen again and again, there will be more Tates in this world. Toughen up.

Champions Phantom, probably the best looking skin IMO, and I just really like the sounds
Runner ups:

Red Ruination Phantom,
Glitchpop Phantom (Blue or Red/Gold)

Honorable Mention : Protocol white pink

Big bald man mean and scary.

tired of ascent, i'll take any other map rn.

lmao. Unlucky lil bro, go next.

LOUD got hands for sure, every time you thought they were done for in a round, Less or Saadhaak, or any player on their roster were pulling a double or triple. Gotta give credit where it's due. The mid round calling from them in particular was pushing them over the edge. I was particularly impressed with Saadhaak's composure. Most certainly. FNS was really good too. I hate that he peeked when it was 12-11 on fracture in 1v1, literally lost by a fine hair and would have prevented OT if he didn't get 1 tapped...but he was monstrous as has been the case on LAN the past year.

Great series, actually delivered for the fans of the game.

mid + you're a simp + ratio

Both but C9 is on another level, PRX was not ready.

I am 100% a Paper Rex enjoyer

Smoking that Portugal pack.

Hahahhahaha L

low IQ response, expected from bronzil.

We do not care.

I said in NA but I get it, reading comprehension isn't your thing. I am not comparing, just stating my opinion.

even tho I dont like him from last years display, SUYGETSU!! Also NAtS, they are the demon sentinel players...Hazed for me is underrated sentinel player, some best in slot sentinels in NA prob STEEL and DAPR still...

but until LOCK/INN i think it's all up in the air, way too many new rosters and lineups for us to see and make any accurate predictions.

Nah. They did get bodied especially at the first lan they did. Don’t try to dance around it. They were grouped no? Basically got a participation award.
