Why You SUCK at DEFENSE (and how Pros do it)

[@Glast04]

I thought bro was rapping at 0:47 lmao. The beat and his rhyming "An early pick off in A main but almost let it slip away."

[@adwaidskumar848]

Lmfao frfr

[@ValorantAscended]

Only the best bars for the viewers

[@slumpified3156]

Especially with the music

[@deibu_1361]

Those rhymes tho.

[@ryanroy1701]

whats the music?

[@Valorant_Dem0n97]

In lobbies you have to judge the enemy team to see if they have aim. Peak aggressively if there’s an aim diff to let them know your presence. The second I notice the team I’m playing against have equal or better aim than me I rely on jump peaking for info and play off that

[@real_ujo4eva]

I honestly think Sova is a must pick on ascent because of those defensive darts

[@CipherPlā]

fade is a better recon though

[@loam8204]

@@CipherPlā cry about it manee 😢

[@real_ujo4eva]

@@CipherPlā It's arguable but I honestly prefer Sova's Owl Drone to Fade's Prowlers, and his Recon Dart has the benefit of being much harder to shoot than Haunt. In specific defense scenarios, I'd rather have Sova with the Scan-Odin play than Fade who is better off fighting directly behind the duelist

[@chottomatte5950]

@@CipherPlā it actually depends on the situation, while fade has lineups, her octopus is easier to hit and typically on a ground level cause of how it works and instantly reveals all that it can see while sova can make the recon dart reach higher, and harder to aim places, making the enemies misplace their crosshair or hide.

[@SmokinSexyStyle]

@@CipherPlā I prefer sova but i respect your choice.

[@bread9574]

Personally I love the Rayna slander, they have had it too easy for too long

[@ripperox5378]

Now whose gonna explain this to my ranked teammates

[@Jigolopuff]

Dude made a video for 5 stacks

[@shashaankduggal6112]

2:56 wtf were they thinking when they threw the spike?

[@suham5132]

They just left spike there and were playing standard default

[@marcorivetti5906]

The weird thing is me and my duo all prefer defense and have a much higher win rate on defense

[@axticy5157]

Same. I fold on attack tho.

[@yukiandkanamekuran]

Same

@@axticy5157 Well if there would be no entry and the opposing team able to setup positions its hard as an attacker.
so if duelist win or I entry and notify my team to trade me so that we can gain map control.

[@Zedexization]

Me and my friends suck at both attacking and defending. So we just stack 3 smokes and 2 duelist or 1 duelist and an initiator. Everything became a breeze because of the restricted space and low elo suck at dealing with smokes. We usually just lose when the enemy players have way better aim than us or they stacked a lot of initiators because me and my friends suck at avoiding Breach’s flash.

[@hastemagentach.3569]

This is why I always play kayo in ascent, I can force the enemy to rotate or just buy time for my team to rotate when I gathered info on how many are pushing on site

[@Koudian]

This is actually Great Video, Thank you

[@ItsMackaa]

not a bad vid, however I feel like some of the points you make are a bit situational and require more luck due to the risk, like aspas' double kill in market round 21. There's no reason Optic should've lost that engagement, it was just a hero play out of aspas and not necessarily an outplay from Team Loud.

[@xox0143]

Wow! This is so useful aside from the fact that my 4 other teammates need to fcking watch this!

[@re-might4593]

4:02 op(pertunities)

[@Battousai_1]

This is a great analysis but not very helpful in ranked tbh. Lots of this breakdown relies on you’re team listening.

[@ryanroy1701]

Whats the music at 0:30??

[@mritunjaysingh_2409]

today's learning: take out odin, if you are losing.

[@rifarira9160]

Odin on site + OP on mid + Ratty Judge

[@ssirooroo8258]

Wht i realized is that people play offense like defense and defense like offense its crazy

[@isabellelim2573]

How is defence hard? If defence is hard, what is attacking? Most of the time my team doesn’t even get on site 😂 we all just die outside whichever site we choose to attack

[@bryonycraddock5553]

How to defend:
1. Buy phantom
2. Smoke main
3. Spam their asses
4. Molly
5. Smoke

[@michaellancaster7092]

Everyone in low elo ALWAYS plays tdm, no one gives a shit about the objective

Defense is my favorite.

[@gunnybear14]

This video didn't teach anyone a single thing about defending. It should be titled "Loud Vs Optic: Complete Breakdown"

Exactly

Are u and thinking man valorant know each other? Cuz both of u post an ascend content on a same day.

[@avesmirza9529]

So... in short get better teammates who listens

[@itsmagic9441]

So why do I suck at defense?...

[@everengaged9370]

because you silver

[@sinexxhayvan4700]

Step 1: having aim in this game

[@Emilha1177]

Nice

[@levuthaison]

Most of this video is just hindsight bias. What a waste of time.

[@dream_weaver6207]

Bruh defence on ascent is easy. The small choke points make it hard for any unorganised team to enter site and you always have multiple options on retake. If you play cypher + kj there is no way in hell that you loose more than 4 rounds on defence
