To win against smurfs: Utility dump Try to tilt (running it down with a judge, bucky or just run and gunning works pretty well) Play ratty spots, and strange off angles Try not to play the same off angle more than 1 or 2 times Use your abilities e.g. had a smurfing reyna on pearl, was playing cypher so i had the classic cypher trapwire + cage. Dont worry once they call you ratty or bad lr anything
you are accurate best way to play against Smurfs is to never peek them and just camp or lurk all the time cause smurfs will always play agressive. In attack just never go to their site😂
I seriously need to improve on tip 20. Cuz I'm 17 yr old and sometimes when I don't play good, I usually get harassed by teammates. And on top of that if I open VC, I get abused for being a kid just cuz I'm not playing good. So I barely open VC anymore. Thanks for the last tip it gave me confidence to just simply mute them.
Muting the team is kind of a big one for me. I can generally tell how it’s going to go even at the agent select screen. A majority of the time it’s a good call especially if I have a duo and they are tilting from not muting them.
1:58 is far too relatable. I get flamed in chat all the time for not being able to pull off a clutch or for my bad aim. Like chill, you're in a bronze lobby. I may be trash but these people thinking they're so much better are right there in the same rank.
ive been noting down bad things i do when playing valorant and noticed i repeat a few bad habits very often as im a player who likes to push but havent tried many agents but i still enjoy playing agents like sage and omen who arent used for pushing
With most thing i agree, but i feel liks the 3rd point is not very well done. The aim is not the MOST IMPORTANT thing in the game. Yes it has very big impact in the game but its not the most important thing. Even if someone is aim demon, and has very poor gamesense or game knowledge, it can be countered well if you think enough how to do it. I would give Boaster for example, when watching his streams we can see that his aim, crosshair placement and some aim fudementals are not on point. But that doesnt stop him since he is using jis brain on another level. Anyways nice video! Liked it!
i think that highly depends on the elo, if someone is in the metal ranks i think they should mostly work on aim since you can just mow down enemies with mechanical skill in those ranks. While in higher elo the aim between players doesnt differ as much as the brain usage
Someone with incredible game sense but terrible aim vs someone with terrible game sense and incredible aim. The person with incredible aim will win in a 1v1, but the player with incredible game sense will win in a team play.
This is the best tip video for this Act. I am pretty sure this will change the next act. There is a VALORANT COMMUNITY weather that we all experience but hard to interpret. Thanks to this video, sums up this current act.
If you need help with anything lmk! I’ve been playing for a year now as my first pc FPS so I’m learning still as well but sure I can give some tips if ya need!
I'm new to Val and I was in a lobby where one of the guys had played against 2 of the opponents in a previous match and mentioned that they were probably smurfing. It made sense because they were going around knifing us out of nowhere, we didn't give up and barely won in overtime but we had to adapt to the careless mistakes they were making because we felt like they were just trying to troll us. Iron 2 lobby
If you don't specify who you want where, most of the time people will just wander around. You kind of need to tell people specifically where you want them if you want this to work well, but it's a good start.
As someone who mains Gekko, it gets really annoying when I communicate to my team that I'm going to flash, and NOBODY pushes after a flash out of a smoke. So I end up setting myself up for a push out of a smoke and have about 3 gun barrels aimed straight at my face. I am Iron 3 BTW.
Tbh I don’t struggle with anything but toxic people , once I get attacked I mute and I start doing instantly better and I outfrag them whenever they say why am I doing so bad.
I’m silver 1/2 always between both but I started playing last act so I’m new to tactical fps games and a lot of these tips help a lot I see a lot of DCs or someone play worse with toxic Smurfs (myself included) because we all think we have to always com or let whatever someone says ruin a mental state very fast. Even one game my team won but my mental was gone because i whiffed one shot and my smurfing teammates got mad and I didn’t mute them for coms
what happens is that im at silver and people just go by theyre own, i call a strat and they just go quiet going different sites and dont organize anything wich makes it so they flash each others and entering site is impossible i call the util, positions of enemys, util recharged, ult possibilites, ask for a flash, ETC and yet they just keep doing random stuff without hearing a word
Idk man I’ve been on viper for my first main off rip I hated it but all my issues I had was actually from a recent nerf so I thought oh well maybe it would still be nice to learn I don’t regret my decision at all since then I’ve learned almost every map within the week and have line ups smokes and mollys for each it’s week 2 now and I feel as if I’m ready to take on ranked play but will hold off until I have more of and understanding of other agents and play styles
Is only thing about valorant is I play a game to warm up then another game and it's been an hour and a half and I'm done for the day so I never feel like I should be playing ranked maybe I should warm up on the bots but still I only ever play 2-4 games cause games can go on for an hour at times
There is actually a reaserch on why worse players think they are better than what they acutally are, imma make this extremly basic though, the reason why players hard stuck on a low rank think theyre better than what they actually are is because they cant really see why they messed up to begin with, so instead they blame other things like the game or their teammates, This also applies of good players, good players think that theyre worse than what they are because they know that they did a mistake and so they lower themselves from what they acutally are This also applies for why dumb people never lose arguments againts smart people, because they never think theyre wrong, which isnt really their fault since most of the time since they just cant see why theyre wrong, even if they are
I would love to play this game more but 100 TH-cam vids later and 2 weeks communicating to VALORANT customer service we still can’t get my mic to work with this game…but it works with every other game I play smh
Hello everybody I kinda have a problem with valo and cant find any solutions online. I have been trying every single thing ive saw on google and yt but nothing works. I hope someone here knows how to fix it. So the problem is after the recent update my game takes so long to load the match, everything is fine except it only loads when the 1st round is about to end or it will load at the middle of 2nd round. I tried with teamdeath and deathmatch and its much worse over there. It will load midgame. I have no issues with anything except that, my game runs 60fps above. I hope someone can help
One tip I would give people (as an immortal 2 player atm 300rr peak) is: Don’t be sensitive, what I mean by this is take some criticism from your teammates and don’t think your play always is the best. I’ve played so many games where I’m trying to help people out cuz I see them do plays round after round and when I say something about it to help them. They go super defensive, mute mostly themselves just because they think it’s a good play (which might be but might not be) but it isn’t working at that game. Also another tip to remember and which I remembered when I was like gold: just because the play didn’t work out, doesn’t mean the play is incorrect. A play be unsuccessful but there are so many ways why it was unsuccessful. Think about a player whiffing, a lineup that messed up. Anything can go wrong. Hopefully this helped someone aswell!
I really want to main a legend who is good for my team but its hard idk what legends are good for that idc about kills aslong as i can make my team win by making space or by distracting enemys soi my team can kill them
Backseating - i got complained too saying “bro ur doing too much” cause i was calling people on map lookin at minimap. After two other players said “na, keep it up, the call outs are goood”. the more info you get in valorant the easier it is to make better judgement in how to engage, what to expect, and how to execute. I followed hooj guide but couldn’t figure out if i wanted to switch agents Then It hit me…. INITATOR Because they gather info and create space To me thats super important, cause it helps ur team decide what to do
THE ONLY TIP IS Stretch your game. Cheat like all these pros do by stretching all the character models out. Makes it super easy to hit shit. That should be the only tip. Cheat to win.
I get the smurfs point and that you have to deal with it but this is for me, the biggest problem with valorant. What is the solution for this? Do other shooters like CS go suffer from this problem as well.
Cs has way more experienced players than valorant. Has like 70% more cheaters, and also the matchmaking in ranked its an okd system ffrom 2000”s. U can be silver and play with diamonds. Its way more brutal. Has less smurfs, but had many problems related to ranking, matchmaking skill gap And the cheaters… oh my
I dont harrass the bottom frag, maybe having a bad game. but when people insta lock duelists and are 5-15 its kinda annoying. today when I was playing skye I had 18-12 and my insta lock reyna was 3-14 that guy called me a retard😂
Mute is a great tool for when that 9 year old squeaker is talking about his balls followed by him yelling at his mom and then Getting his ass spanked for being a little shit. Meanwhile he’s 1-15 and talks so loud you can’t hear footsteps. Better to just mute him. Lol
Speaking for someone who gets an insta-lock, double negative Reyna or Jett every single ranked game. Can we please please stop telling low elo players to play duelists
thank you for those guide but if want us to talk in the game they some toxic player keep say bad word when try help them that why pepole dosent talk keep them self secure from those toxic player :x
I yell at people all the time for talking whenever on the last person alive I can’t stand it. I don’t care what you’re saying. It doesn’t matter. Just be quiet. It’s so hard to focus when people are talking and you wanna hear footsteps and people are being obnoxiously loud. They are not I’m trying to be, but they are just because that’s how humans are so yeah I know there’s no scenario where I wanna listen to you giving me any type of advice when I’m the last person alive on the last person alive. Let me do it I don’t need you to help me.
Just keep doing your thing. Good players aren't going to care about how old you are they just want to win the game. Bad players will try to bully you so just mute them and know that you'll be a higher rank than them in a few weeks and will never have to play with them again.
@@skillcappedvalorant true but good crosshair placement mixed with good movement and game sense with mediocre aim can achieve much much more than near perfect aim

Should try having minimap rotate on so that you can minimap refrag through smokes. Words of wisdom from the 🍌 man
To win against smurfs:
Utility dump
Try to tilt (running it down with a judge, bucky or just run and gunning works pretty well)
Play ratty spots, and strange off angles
Try not to play the same off angle more than 1 or 2 times
Use your abilities e.g. had a smurfing reyna on pearl, was playing cypher so i had the classic cypher trapwire + cage.
Dont worry once they call you ratty or bad lr anything
you are accurate best way to play against Smurfs is to never peek them and just camp or lurk all the time cause smurfs will always play agressive. In attack just never go to their site😂
That’s everyone already :/
“Play ratty spots”
As if that’s not already done
Any other suggestions for ratty agents? New player and having a hard time vs the level 400+ in my normal games

“Playing duelist you’ll bottom frag less” Brother hasn’t seen Silver in a while 🤣
I seriously need to improve on tip 20. Cuz I'm 17 yr old and sometimes when I don't play good, I usually get harassed by teammates. And on top of that if I open VC, I get abused for being a kid just cuz I'm not playing good. So I barely open VC anymore. Thanks for the last tip it gave me confidence to just simply mute them.
Bro who cares just do ur best and report those assholes
Don't care about those, mute them and play your game
Muting the team is kind of a big one for me. I can generally tell how it’s going to go even at the agent select screen. A majority of the time it’s a good call especially if I have a duo and they are tilting from not muting them.
Tip 13 is great knowing how the enemy will play exactly helps you stop it, and you can help the team more if you understand what their doing
More of these, please! Very useful and very important stuff was discussed in this video ❤
tip 21. buy skins. skins = skill.
I'm broke 💀
Why?
1:58 is far too relatable. I get flamed in chat all the time for not being able to pull off a clutch or for my bad aim. Like chill, you're in a bronze lobby. I may be trash but these people thinking they're so much better are right there in the same rank.
ive been noting down bad things i do when playing valorant and noticed i repeat a few bad habits very often as im a player who likes to push but havent tried many agents but i still enjoy playing agents like sage and omen who arent used for pushing
"duelists get you kills"
me getting 1 kill with Jett: 👀
With most thing i agree, but i feel liks the 3rd point is not very well done. The aim is not the MOST IMPORTANT thing in the game. Yes it has very big impact in the game but its not the most important thing. Even if someone is aim demon, and has very poor gamesense or game knowledge, it can be countered well if you think enough how to do it. I would give Boaster for example, when watching his streams we can see that his aim, crosshair placement and some aim fudementals are not on point. But that doesnt stop him since he is using jis brain on another level. Anyways nice video! Liked it!
Also i am speaking for only 3rd tip since the continuation in the tips 6/7 are talking about teamplay and communication.
i mean its an fps, in any fps aim and gunplay is always king
i think that highly depends on the elo, if someone is in the metal ranks i think they should mostly work on aim since you can just mow down enemies with mechanical skill in those ranks. While in higher elo the aim between players doesnt differ as much as the brain usage
I think it was just a hookup for the add 😂
Someone with incredible game sense but terrible aim vs someone with terrible game sense and incredible aim. The person with incredible aim will win in a 1v1, but the player with incredible game sense will win in a team play.

thank u for the tipps

You have to be good enought to get kills as duelist for that to work. Dashing to your own death is counterproductive
