it's cuz theres a 2 min delay and NightsVal is in chat so rankers won lol

You could see the inexperience showing from Rankers in terms of fundamentals. Poppin dying inexplicably in a few clutches. They need to go full PRX to win

Eggsterr is no primmie or TenZ. he’s just the best Yoru we’ve seen

Currently at 200 RR. pretty confident I will hit Radiant this Act using Phantom

The crouch sprays are back. I’m playing CSGO again

Vandal/Phantom usage was 75/25 before this patch. Many people thought Phantom was harder to shoot with.

you can HS with the Phantom too

They wanted to take away smoke spamming but not spraying itself. Looks like they’re encouraging it with the Phantom buff and adding more bullets to the frenzy.

We playing CSGO now. Crouch spraying is back baby. F the Vandal abusers

5 body shots max, but it shoots faster than the Vandal

It’s now extremely powerful to spray/burst with the Phantom at range. It feels very similar to CSGO’s gunplay.

The Vandal/Phantom pick rate was 75/25, so the Phantom did need a buff. I think it really changes the meta of the gunplay though. Before it was all about precise tap firing, but now you can burst/spray like in CSGO. It’s a subtle yet huge change imo

If we're talking pure mechanics, a lot of players are better than Zekken. Zekken's Jett isn't great because his mechanics aren't on the level of Aspas, but he's still effective because he's a very smart player.

why do you have no idea? :X

erm the enemy team had no Clove :X

why do you think gold :X

When TenZ was the golden boy of Valorant, I thought he was overrated AF. I thought that he was lucky to come to Valorant, where his mistakes weren't punished like in CSGO. Now that he's retired, he's unfiltered and completely shitting on the game. I love this new BASED TenZ. Preach on my King! 👑

TenZ, like me, is a CSJoe at heart. We are both miserable because we want to play a tactical shooter, but Valorant doesn’t feel like a tactical shooter much of the time.

Chamber was broken and boosted a ton of players, but he didn’t change how the game was played like Neon does.

Plus, Chamber was a defensive agent that was mostly stationary, holding an angle. You could get info where he was and avoid him.

I’ve been playing FPS games for 10+ years and this is the play style that works for me. I can play for many hours and not get any wrist pain or soreness. I do try and keep my wrist as neutral as possible.

The only thing that gets sore is probably my right shoulder, but that’s only if I’m tensing too much.

Thank you :3

Yeah I think you're right. My forearm is basically stationary on my desk, and I mainly move my wrist for large turns.

They’re in the top half of the 16 teams. I see them qualifying for playoffs.

Raze Ult would get one kill if lucky. Neon Ult routinely gets multi kills.

Neon can also go Bucky only and wreak so much havoc while spending no economy. She needed a nerf.

I commit to sprays because that’s how I played CSGO, and it works similarly when using the Phantom. I’m also able to run and gun somewhat. However, I’m so bad with the Vandal lmao

800 dpi at .32 sens

About average but I think it’s because of how I grip the mouse and my arm placement

I actually despise aim trainers. I played Aim Labs for 5 minutes and then got really bored. I’d rather warm up in DM or the Range. Val DM is so cheeks though. I used to be able to play CSGO FFA DM for hours.

I’m not a beta. Hypothetically, if I was on a plane that malfunctioned and was about to crash. I’d say fuck it and accept my death like a champ. Hopefully I get reincarnated 50 years later when FPS games aren’t completely ass like today.

This is actually why I mainly use the Phantom. It fits my playstyle because I can whiff and still get the kill with the spraydown. I'm also a CSJoe so I'm too used to spraying and recoil control. If I were to only use the Vandal, I'd probably be Diamond xP

This is a pretty good description. I think it's because I started playing CSGO on an ironing board instead of a real table, so only my hand was touching the surface. I played on an ironing board for a year and actually reached Rank A on ESEA. I also use a fingertip grip on my Zowie FK2 (perfect mouse for me)

Yes, I'm a CSJoe and changed my res to 1024x768 in the beta, thinking it would stretch the models. I got used to it so now I can't play on any other res lol

i'm dead

lmao i do look at the mini map more than the screen sometimes

wdym? you think my aim is snappy?

what do you guys think? xP

For saying retard?

I decided to throw the R word in game to see people's responses. Well, afterwards I got banned for 14 days LOL

Naw we’re just retarded

This is too good

Interesting. Looks like it would completely change the game

How different would the game be?

Would people still ADAD tap fire?

Would crouch spraying be the go to method?

Or would there not be a big difference in the game?

If Valorant was in a double duelist meta and TenZ got to play duelist, he 100% keeps playing.

Friday is lowkey the worst for me. Done with the week and just want to mess around and don’t care about winning lol

This doesn’t make sense. SKrossi could have just reset the password if he was the original owner of the account.

I feel like Zekken wouldn’t mind being a duelist/flex. Zekken also has an excellent Sova.

I can see SEN picking up a duelist so that Zekken can flex to Initiator.

Erm more like Zellsis has a much bigger agent pool and is the better overall player, so Zellsis decides first who he wants to play.

They relegated TenZ to smokes and luckily Omen matches his aggressive playstyle. However TenZ is not a true controller that can play Viper or Brim.

I've been playing since Beta, been Immortal every Act, but I absolutely hate playing this game.

I hate how noob friendly it is. I hate how much utility spam there is. I hate the community.

For example, they added Clove, a controller that can heal and also smoke while they're dead. What the fuck is this noob shit?

I reached Immortal 3 going Brim only without lineups. Now THAT's when the game was fun. Being a controller used to require skills and nuance. Now anyone can lock Clove and have significantly more impact than if they were another controller.

I only play this game because it's a tactical shooter and there's (some) aim involved. The aim ceiling is not very high. Every game is the same shit.

Man I wish CSGO were still alive. Now that was a REAL GAME.

As long as the Asc+ player is doing everything the pro IGL says, then yes they can probably hang. The mechanical skill ceiling is not that high in this game compared to CS.

I actually think it plays more similar to CS than Val.

I’m lowkey having a lot of fun playing this game. Can’t wait to see how ranked is.
