Thank you for teaching how you make plans based on how each players are playing. I never had this mind. I was like "oh Their rotation was fast so lets play slow” without even knowing who rotates fast and the plan isnt good. I love your coaching❤
Guys fyi, the cursor is not a maid. Its a character from a game Arknights. Her name is Exusiai which is an angel with FAMAS which also has a catchphrase "apple pie". Hence why shes holding an apple pie.
Hey funny banana man, just wanted to thank you for helping me getting that last stretch from ascendant 3 to immortal. I was stuck there for a good few months, incapable of ranking up. It was only after taking a break and watching all of the omen vod reviews you did that i finally ranked up to the red rank. Thank you so much, Mwa
Hes not plat though hes diamond asc peak, that's the thing about this shit rank system now, 90 percent of players in their rank are not really that rank are they
@@1whomakes You're making a fundamental mistake in your assessment. You are talking like you think the statement peak rank = true rank is true by default. People can and do get worse at the game relative to the overall player base. Just because you've been to a rank does not mean that you are currently playing at that rank's skill.
watching this guys raw aim and gunfight etiquette, I could definitely see him in immortal lobbies, because my ascendant lobbies are full of boosted players. Less than half of my Ascendant games actually feel different from silver lmao. Yes, this of course means I'm going to hit immortal soon.
I've been a platinum demon for too long now, and its frustrating because I was wondering how the "right way" to play valorant was. And hooj just told us how to play the right way of valorant thats a huge W
2 minutes in and just remembered. I learned how to jump spot mid game in bronze 2 and my teammate was confused as all get out /s Also, may as well begin putting my rank here as I watch more of your content and try to improve. Current rank is Bronze 2 and imma keep commenting on it until I hit Plat
Thank god I never had to face platinum demons. I still have that to look forward to! (Bronze 1, peak bronze 2) and that was funny you took your world 2 pipe thing from funday friday
because of the fact that my general gameplay is bad and im way too shy to be embarassed publicly like this i would never ask to have something done for me like this but you made me go up from iron to gold just by watching you coach other people alone lmao
I am ascendant-3 and after rank upload I am plat-3/diamond-1. I have no clue what happened but I have people with immortal gun buddies in my lobby and thats insane. Either my immortal opponents lose a game on plat elo or me asc-3 player lose a game on plat elo. Riot what the hell? p.s. I have alt-account which is asc-1 right now and I have higher winrate on it. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
2:56 IM PRETTY SURE THIS STARE AT THE CORNER STRAT IS FROM ONE OF YOUR VIDS, NOT SURE WHICH ONE, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GOOD STRAT FOR A LOWER ELO PLAYER MAYBE?(sorry abt caps not retyping all that)
In my experience with this elo, fakes are too inconsistent of a strategy to pull off because teams generally dont have enough communication and coordination to pull it off. For one, probably 70-80% of players dont comm which basically makes any kind of coordinated play around the map impossible. Second, i feel like they dont actually know how to run a fake anyways: often the planting party will make contact way before the faking party has a chance to draw rotates, no body uses utility anyways so the faking party cant create pressure without alot of risk, they make a bunch of noise when leaving so defenders know exactly whats going on, etc. It feels like really the only consistent coordinated attack strategy is 5 man rush or die trying, sonetimes with 1 lurker, otherwise the game will devolve into 1 person pushing each lane or everybody ratting in a different corner.
I have successfully called countless site fakes while hardstuck in Diamond lobbies. I was the most Diamond Diamond player in Diamond, and it's the elo I have the most experience in out of any other rank, and I guarantee you that as long as you are friendly, and you word things correctly, then the team will understand you, and they will be very likely to go through with the plan. It is not inconsistent in the slightest with the correct approach, so you're either coping or you're really bad at making calls. The only "coordination" you need here is 3 guys going up C silently, and 2 guys going A in order to pull off the fake. It's that simple. You call "Hey can everyone shift up C quietly? Me and Skye will fake A", notice how I'm involving a specific teammate, with whom I just so happen to be able to sell a good fake with as well. As Woohojin says, make the call early in the pre-round. Before making the call, you can include an "observation" statement, such as "Hey they rotate really quickly, especially the enemy Skye" and then follow up with the main call. "They rotate really fast" + "Can everyone silently go C Long? Me and Skye will fake A" My teammates listen to this call around 80% of the time, and we win these kinds of rounds over 70% of the time. If anyone is ever skeptical, it will depend on your social skills to persuade everyone to go through with the plan. Making statements like "I guarantee you C will have one defender at most". Even if your team doesn't listen to the call, you will essentially confuse the enemy if they hear people pushing TWO different sites. It will essentially force the enemy to stay where they are, until they have information on WHICH of the two pushes is the 'main' push. The main key is to make sure that you name a teammate who is COMPLACENT. Your chances of winning the round skyrocket as long as you have enough information to know which teammate is most likely to fake the site with you. To do this, you obviously test them by asking someone simple stuff like "Hey Skye can you come with me?". You have enough time before the 4th round to test this sufficiently to know with whom you will be able to make these pre-round calls with. Hope this helps!
Jep. Bronze: all teammates are afraid of gun fights and just hide in main waiting there.. until the enemy comes to them OR rushing in and die. 2 out 5 teammates use their util. (I picked up Omen bc we never get smokes XDD) Coms rank from moaning to weird noises to really good coms. BUT you almost never get them. Even when you ask nicely for something they wont use their util for you hahaha But yes.. if asked ,they will come with you.... but if they really help in a fight is 50/50. (They will prob hide behind a wall/box and wait until you die... idk why... but they seem to love 1 vs 1. Maybe they want to play fair 😂😂😂) I met 1 person in 2 years who knew how to hold crossfire 😂😂😂 Silver: 4 out of 5 games reyna runs in and dies 😂😂😂 5 game is the crazy well timed Reyna. So you are mostly stuck in a 4 vs 5 where no one wants to enter OR everyone runs into site like headless chicken. Just holding forward 😂😂😂 Most razes use NO util. Kayo uses ALL their util... even when site is free (you cleared it... you are backsite) and he uses all their util on you 😂😂😂😂 Skyes are good teamplayers... i mean at least they try to help. Cypher is a 50/50 lurks in spawn even when no one flanks in all 10 rounds OR rushes in with his cages. There is no in between. So yeah... these are the things I noticed XD I wont comment on their gun fights and aim. Because I still suck too.
16:13 what does the sentinel watch out for? Is it the same as the controller? Or is there the additional question of how to hold post plant because their utility is usually more suited for that?
Try to pay attention to how enemies rotate off sites while your team is pushing other side of the map, if they try to push flank you can position for a free kill. If they don’t flank you can look to get a timing on the player rotating and either late flank or just kill a rotator and get back for post plant.
Jumpspotting is not a silver bullet to gaining information. I've been tapped close to walls and boxes you name it just because I thought its a free action. If you really want information, ask your sova to dart, push your lane, or just chill and make a read etc. All of that is more proactive than taking a 50/50 jiggle peek. In high ranks, and even pros (E.G vs PRX) learn you will get tapped doing this all the time. As omen you could purposely delay your first smoke by 10 seconds it takes to walk up C long and you've already done better than risk taking unnecessary damage.
You should hear about silver demons. My account is silver 1 cause I don't play valorant anymore/ at all almost, and just did my placements (typical excuses lmao) but when I do play rank I get one tapped in the most odd impossible positions. However when I play on my friend's plat 3 acc, I do much better and win more gunfights than in silver/gold. Shit's crazy
I personally have always been a hardstuck plat with a 1.3 KD average and would play duelist and controller based off my teammates and I quit trying to rank its like the matchmaking balances each team and so I would be paired with the lower balance and can't just quit the rank. When I made a smurf account for my friend I would grind it out and got ranked d2 and he would get it to silver. Idk love the game I just think there is like a matchmaking hole that keeps higher skilled players down the threshold and if the bad player is having a good game they would win and rank up because they are projected with poorer performance
i know this is an old review but regarding his jump spot, i wonder if he played APEX cus thats the same input you use to jump spot in apex and i had a bad habit of jump spotting the same way when I started valo.
Hey hooj, love your content, I’m a bit confused on what “agnostic” means at 7:45. I googled it and I don’t understand what it means in that context. If hooj or anyone else could help me out it would be much appreciated.
Agnostic means without preference, so the phrase 'map agnostic' means that it doesn't apply to any map in particular, or In other words, it applies to every map.
Thanks I didn't see anything on google about agnostic meaning without preference, it was all religious stuff, so I was really confused lol@@dippythehippy
so me giving my saved gun away to players who are fragging higher than me pre round is bad? I feel like giving a saved vandal to the best player on the team if we're on eco is better no?
I think i used up all my skill to reach Gold last act. I do more aim and movement warmup now, and somehow my aim has gotten worse?! I think its my crosshair placement, i keep it at head level but I've gotten worse at angle holding. But im an OP god tho.
hooj what are you're thoughts on changing main agent but same role? I've been using reyna for 2 months but im considering switching to raze since she has better impact to the team - Silver 2
plat is literally the worst rank to climb out of, full with demon aimers but half of them are NPCs, so theres a good 50% of having a lurking initiator/smoke or just straight up ppl with the brain of a squirrel
