I still remember my first round. Got yelled at by "GothMommy" , then added and invited to a FULL custom game right after where we just had fun. Honestly i was lucky, most others just get sweats in their first round
Actually a good habit to not ADS. ADS is only good in only a few situations. For the Vandal and Phantom, the two most used guns in the game, ADS 95% of the time is actually harmful as it reduces firerate. Guardian & Bulldog ADS is fine for long ranges, but short and medium range is usually not reccomended As a general rule of thumb, a new player should learn to not ADS, then learn the exceptions
8:28 If you go to the official Valorant website each character has visual demos there. Not sure why they aren't in game but you can see them on the website.
why do i have to play some random gamemode ,that the game itself does NOT tell me about, to figure out what certain abilities do??? they've done visual demos in League why not do it in Val? incase you ask, no its not MY problem, its GAME problem
@@Simon_2501well you get previews for skins because they earn money from that They sure got no time to add it for agents lol Why spend time on things that doesn't profit them much
@@Simon_2501this isn't anything new? Look at apex. Look at marvel rivals. A lot of games have a practice range. Which isn't a game mode. It's a training ground. It's meant for you to learn. A game with multiple agents and abilities can get complex. If you don't want to take time to learn how your guns shoot and what agents do. That's on you. Not the game.
@@ilikecreeper331 The intro tutorial was added recently, i havent seen it either. Its only for new players really, which makes me think that you are the one who hasnt played the game
@@Lunararereal Oh I didn't know it was only added recently, I thought it had always been there I only started playing in October so maybe it was added before that, I didn't know
Love this video dude, as someone that has played valorant for around 2 years it's super interesting watching the newer player experience. Your commentary is super entertaining and funny too lol, hopefully you will do a part 2!
Great video! You brought up some good points and I do hope Riot takes some of them into consideration. I think I disagree with the communities sentiment on "You have the Range, find out how the abilities work there" narrative, because while it is a good option to explore each agent, some abilities will not behave properly on bots. I agree that a visual demonstration in game would be very beneficial. I also have been extremely worried that the game is putting out too many agents in the game. I think your confusion on the MANY abilities is certainly a huge reason. There is just too much going on and keeping up with it becomes a full time job for most higher level players. Also, I noticed your comments on ADS, Valorant and CS have a different approach to the ADS mechanic compared to most other games, including the recent Fortnight Ballistic and other recent Tac FPS clones. There really is no real reason to use ADS in 90% of situations, it decreases fire rate in most guns and while giving a tighter spread and shrinking the first shot inaccuracy doesn't do anything that would help you win most Med-Long (25m-50m) duels. I'd stick to hip-firing and learning when to tap (Fire 1 shot), Burst (Fire around 3-5 bullets as they are the most accurate) or Spray (shooting the entire mag at the target). Overall, I'm just glad you had a great time! Our community can be pretty toxic, but you seemed to handle it well! If you do continue on learning how to play this game, I'd recommend grabbing some friends and just play it casually for a while. I started around 4 years ago and I've enjoyed learning little things here and there to add to how I play! Also, if you do eventually end up doing a CS video, I'd recommend giving the hip-firing tech a whirl, because CS2 has no sort of Scoping gun outside of the really expensive AR or Snipers. Which can really hurt your economy especially on the CT side! Once again, great video!
first time i’ve seen the tutorial since april 2020 and i must say it actually teaches you the basics of gunplay and the rules to a match which is infinitely more than what the old tutorial had lmao
Some tips for new players: 1. Don't ADS all the time. 2. Speaking of aiming, aim for the head if you can. 3. Use shift, but know when to run. 4. Check your corners. Do your best to not curve when turning. Rather treat corners like an angled shape. 5. Become an expert of 1 or 2 agents, and have back up agents/roles. But you'll need to have some working knowledge of the other agents so you can predict how they're played. 6. Don't buy the AFK schtick. 7. Get some crosshairs!
8:30 you can go into the training grounds and pick any agent you want. practice every single ability altho some are limited. for example : an ability that can only be used on a teammate (skye heal)
checking corners is a good habitt tho, but always remember you have abilities to also check them for you. The more you play, the more you will understand valorant and the more you understand it in a depth level, the more it gets complicated lmao (well atleast for me and my friends) but keep trying it, its smhw addicting 😭
8:42 it isnt showed but its possible u have to go to training camp next to big red button and then u with i think f2 can change to any character so u can even learn them
That only works when you go into the range outside of the tutorial. The tutorial and the range are separate things, although part of the tutorial takes place in the same location as the range.
It's interesting to someone like me, who wants to win and improve so fast amd is so focused on what I'm doing that I forget that even the simplest tasks in a game can seem confusing to people who never grew up with games in the first place.
try playing Yoru, His abilities are the exact opposite of "don't stand here" , "you can't see this specific place", test him out, he literally has a domain expansion as an ult and TP's around like Gojo
Are you trying to ruin his vibe or smth? Here's why YOU SHOULDN'T 1. His kit is really horrible for new users.. more of His utilities will be shown in the next points 2. His flashes are useless if you don't correctly position yourself.. and positioning is the most important part of learning val. Unless you count how to shoot straight as another 3. Unless you are dedicated.. It takes time to learn an agent like Yoru. 4. The difference between plat and silver lobbies is already high (Eg- im plat and i dont do good in other lobbies) and other lobbies have specific agents that are good for their rank..I would suggest an easy kit agent like Gekko or even Reyna. 5. There is way better agents than Yoru.. and I don't suggest adding another duelist main to the team.
As someone who’ played val for around 5 months by now, and knows the idea of how to do things (even if my execution is sometimes… questionable.) it pains me to see people ignoring the obvious facts, but that’s just new players learning I guess. I do also like helping people learn, so if that’s there.
I had the same issue, whenever I went into the bios it said safe boot was already enabled, so I was just continuously in a back and forth trying to figure out wtf was wrong. I don’t even remember what the solution was, it just fixed itself at some point
Change crosshair for sure, and just find a setting guide in general to have a lot better performance. If you continue playing, I personally suggest breach, because when other players get hit by his util (very cool util by the way) they have no clue what to do
I used to play a lot of valorant, and for some reason in my experience on the BR server, people are super competitive and toxic in casual games, and chill in ranked. I used to pla ranked most of the time, and it was always nice, very rarely someone was toxic and even them, the toxic people just said some acid remarks. When I played casual games, 1 out of 3 matches was a shit show of people screaming slurs in the chat.
even though you get aim down sight in all guns, u dont use it, thats a good thing actually cause ADS slows you down and the firing rate of gun decreases, so just do hip fire like CS, ADS is kinda useless in val
i remember my very first game was at beta, everyone was quite, i didn't like it that much at first, but when i came back to it a year later there was some kind of community and communication, i prolly got yelled at lmao.
As a old CS:GO player (mind: i have 3k hours on it) I recommend Valorant over the new CS:GO 2. The game is harder to learn; it has fun and wierd features and it is also harder to play taking into account that it has no spray pettern and you have to rely on your first 3 shots or youre as good as dead. By the way i've already got 300 hours on the game and im ranked diamond 2.
I cringe when I remember my first match, for some reason I thought the Sova shock darts are very strong, and for the first five rounds I didn't use any guns and wandering why didn't anyone die when I hit them with a shock dart.
i love how he sais its light on cosmetic since most gun skins cost 20 and knife skins 40 bucks but it is good that there are no charecter skins in val a tac shooter unlike r6
i love this channel but i feal like it didint really incumpase the valorant experience in 1 day since he only really played 40 minutes but he can to whatever he want tbh
We need a part 2!! You should learn some of the different agents in the range, and since you're a new player you get to unlock one of them for free, and then another at the end of the basic training contract
I saw my frnds playing it and they started 2.5yrs ago and in like 8 months they were gold to plat i used to play fortnite with them we were a trio then they started duo que ing in valo and i felt lonly then i joined but they were gold 3 and plat 1 so i could only play unrated i started 8 months after them btw and now im immo 1 peak assend 2 rn and they are hard stuck diamond .. now one of them downloaded a trigger bot got a virus then download another and then got banned in a week after head shoting someone through tp. When no one knew he was caming in tp....
As someone who has hated on the game (mostly because of the e daters) i started valorant last month because of my friend but so far im enjoying the game
Lmao that was funny to watch, reminds me of myself when I first started playing the game, with no experience in shooters whatsoever. But that was in like Episode 3, can’t imagine starting playing now with the sh*t ton of agents that Riot keeps bumping.
Umm...I do feel like it is a fun game, but it is quite stressfull to get started for the abilities, Ive heard people said that you need to go to Valorant acadamic to start playing the real game😂 Which is not completely wrong, for having 25 agents, 4 abilities each, and some mechanics to learn. Oh and good for you, not dropping into the machine gun hole🎉🎉🎉
you're lucky that you're playing the improved tutorial, because the tutorial didn't use to look like that lol the original tutorial never taught us about the "staying still to shoot" as well as the "bullets moving upwards" mechanics
I played reyna in valorant for 3 years and i found out this month that you can cancel dismiss that's how shitty valorant is same for jett i never knew i was able to control smokee
The tutorial has gotten so much better since i started playing
Fr
same it was pretty bland before and didn't explain really what the game was about!
"My headphones died"
*teammates trying to guide him with the voice call*

checking corners is a good habit dont let that go

You can press practice in the lobby. Then press the range, and now you can test every agent in the game. Also practice your aim/skills
You can check out all the agents and their abilities in the practice range.
don't worry, the clip at 6:55 is basically *THE* valorant experience, its what makes or breaks the game for different people
