When developing competitive games, game devs can do these things. 1. Cap the FPS to 60FPS so ir can be fair and balanced. 2. Make Gun's first 2 or 3 bullet accurate when firing. 3. Lastly, Perfect hitboxes and fricking bullet hit detection 4. Make all guns usable by not making a single AR gun a fricking sniper like VANDAL. Like SMG and Shotties for short range dmg and give a low - medium damage. Giving AR higher damage on low and mid range but reduce on longer ranges. And finally snipes, Give them higher damage on all ranges. A Personal Mechanic That i will definitely add when making my own multiplayer game. When a heavy sniper bullet hits the body it reduces the quarter of health and instant kill on head. And Light sniper bullet deal half dmg on body and full dmg on head. Personal fav

If we completely remove the first shot (in)accuracy from the aforementioned guns, that would make guns like the Guardian basically useless in the game. I think Riot did this on purpose so players use different guns than just using the Vandal every round every game (which people already do). I myself use the Guardian and man it feels so good lining up your crosshair and just one tapping everyone without worry it doesn't hit. It's pretty well balanced when you think about it. Guns like the Vandal and Phantom are automatic while the Guardian is semi-auto. tl;dr If you want to test your skill, use the Guardian.
@MiquelVZLA Жыл бұрын
This is so you can't abuse weaker guns to one tap everyone in a budget, that's why each weapon has a different inaccuracy, its balanced in a way that you can't get a sheriff that's able to 2 tap everyone with perfect aim, a laser beam that's just broken. CS also uses this technique and it's been really useful for years for balancing guns and making sure you actually don't buy a deagle every single round and hit one tap after one tap with the opponents being unable to do anything.

First shot inaccuracy is a thing also in CS GO. It seems counterintuitive but it's a good type of balance and I explain you why: 1) everyone with the same weapon has the same odds 2) if you don't tap but burst the second shot will always or almost always (i don't really tried for sure with a lot of bullets but I noticed) compensate the first in a way 3) if you can be accurate with a gun and also spray you will never play guardian marshal or operator and there will be no reason to ADS 4) the cheaper gun has even less probability of killing you holding a better gun, so it reinforces the concept of snowballing, that's why operator is almost unfair. 5) it represents better what will happen in a real situation without ADS. You want a better guardian for maps like icebox and breeze, you don't want a sheriff or even a classic to kill you because they always hit the first shot in head.

Personally as a guardian main I disagree with you. Vandals and phantoms being dead accurate will destroy the purpose of the guardian. I think that riot designed the rifles in a certain way for a reason. The phantom for short range, vandal for medium range and the guardian for long range. I think that riot made them inaccurate for a reason. Guardian has close to no spread when you hip fire for a reason. With the guardian you can only tap and you have a limited amount of bullets in your magazine. Because of this you have to have more discipline which is rewarded by a higher accuracy rate and a very fast recoil reset. The vandal is less accurate because of the amount of bullets and because of the ability to spray. Because of this you can be lazy with your crosshair placement and just spray your opponents down. They balanced the playing style in between the phantom, vandal and guardian which means that if you give the vandal 100% accuracy it will destroy the purpose of the guardian and riot knows it.

TL:DR - Weapon inaccuracy prevents assault rifles from overshadowing actual snipers, but the current implementation is very bad on the Vandal and encourages gambling for headshots instead of working with the weapon mechanics to get an accurate shot or fight in your effective range. Well I understand your frustration with the mechanic, letting guns have perfect first shot accuracy regardless of their role has severe consequences for weapon balance, and results in negative overlap. The Phantom has middling accuracy, but cannot one tap past short range (where that randomness is negligible). You can absolutely hipfire it at long range and go for headshots, but even if you do hit the headshot you realistically lose to someone using a range appropriate gun (1 headshot + 2 bodyshots vs 1 headshot), and coinflip vs someone mirroring your weapon (due to randomness if skill difference is not a factor). If it could execute a perfectly accurate shot at long range without ADS + Crouch which currently reduces it to effectively the same as a Guardian hipfire, it would not be broken but would still encourage players to go for shots outside their weapon's range. The Vandal has poor accuracy (identical to the sheriff's first shot), but can one tap even way past its consistent range. If the Vandal gets perfect first shot accuracy when hipfiring, why use the Guardian? They both one tap, and even if the Guardian got it too, the Vandal just does more and is easier to use due to being an automatic as well as a usable sniper weapon. My suggestion is making the accuracy of the Vandal 1:1 with that of the Phantom's first shot, and adding a 30m range cutoff for one taps as long as you are hipfiring. ADS, so that the gun is accuracy at that range and you can onetap. Hipfire, and you have to stay within your accurate range to onetap. Still a great entryfragger and clearing gun, still can hold angles just as well, just can't coinflip for a ~57% chance to kill at long range (50m) (reference available upon request) Also the Marshal and Operator hipfire should probably get a similar treatment since they can both instakill, but both have very high randomness even under ideal circumstances.

I agree completely, this mechanic is a joke for a competitive fps game. If you look at sport (which has succeeded in being competitive for years) all randomness either can't be helped or is controlled by a player, e.g. in tennis you could get a bad bounce which can't be helped or you could hit the net tape which only happens if the player hits the ball low. Imagine trying to play tennis if the lines changed their position every shot, cos that would be the equivalent to first shot inaccuracy. Now lets look at Valorant randomness, you have latency which can't be helped, movement which is controlled by the player, spraying which is controlled by the player and first shot which can be taken away and isn't controlled by the player. The mechanic is a joke and shouldn't be in a competitive game.

The first shot in a reload is a good idea but maybe instead of first shot being perfect it could be like 50% more accurate then if you stand still for like 15 seconds it slowly ramps up to a 100%. Maybe it would make the gake defender sided but it's a idea. Or what if a perfectly timed counter strafe with a 3 server tick window had thr ability to increase your first shot accuracy from a stand still. On the first and last frame of the delibrate counter strafe it increases your first shot accuracy by 100% Then on the perfect middle frame it increases it by 500%. For obvious reasons maybe this shouldn't be applied to the operator or marshall Maybe a nerfed variation What would valorant look like if weapons were much more accurate at the peak of their jump when velocity is reset back to 0 Hmm what else? How about consistent shotgun spread patterns like apex coming into valorant and what would be ideal for each shotgun weapon/ fire mode? And how it would change when on the move! Or if valorant could benefit from an extra segmented hitbox from torso to chest and abdomen like csgo and what that would mean for how you approach different situations in game. What if there was an option to change your crosshair color based on the background environment (aka inverted mouse but your crosshair for maximum contrast) How would valorant look if you could buy attachments for a weapon but they were extremely expensive? Like an extended mag being 1500$ or a scope being 1000$ With that you have to ask what if you could sell attachments? Like a ads module for 100$ or a scope for like 25$ Like almost a skill tree like element for late game that could really benefit you but isn’t so overpowered because of eco sake and the fact they can still pickup your weapons. What if you could carry two secondaries. How could features such as lighting be untilized and improved to make the game not only look better but also be a gimmick of a map to provide a suito cover in a area maybe like an interactive part of a map. Do valorant in game models really need to look so .. bad? Should there be an ability in game to create direct line of sight through smokes by creating a cavity within it? (Almost like the valorant cinematic trailers.) Could valorant use a facelift and could it be done whilst maintaining great performance. I’m just spitballing here don’t mind me.

The Guns tell us what their first bullet hit accuracy actually is and it's rather calculated in a Circle or a square which both would be fishers linear discremanent order 1 or 2 and a fairly easy to calculate. The other approach is messure the bullet spread of a miss and compare it to the area of the face (which is the thing changing with distance) there should be a squared relation in there, since its the same as shining light on the target while the targets get further away.

If you begin tilting, you begin losing, if you begin losing, you want to fix it, so you tilt queue, tilt queueing gives more play time to the game, causing addiction, and leading to the spending of more money. Riot wants to create dumb scenarios that make you mad, so that they can make more money

But CS also has first shot misses, if your gun is outside its range of effectiveness. This is essentially the same in valorant, it’s a design decision so you take those 50+m gunfights less. If you want to take those gunfights, buy a guardian or an OP.

7:20 we have that mechanic though? It's called scope. If you're taking fights with a vandal at over 50 meters without scoping, then missing those shots is absolutely on you. The first shot inaccuracy is there because it's not fair for me to peek an awp at 50m and win the fight because I have peeker's advantage and good crosshair placement. The whole point of valorant is using your abilities to get an edge during gun fights. The weapon inaccuracy is there to make sure you are playing properly.

I like the luck and I have games in which I just pop off with a stinger by spraying uncontrollably. I also have maps in which I abuse some weird angles and in that case I grab a guardian without even thinking about it. Having a gun that is good at everything is not fun. I love when on a really long range fight I go guardian vs vandal or when I terrorize people in short ranges with the shorty stinger combo. The fact that people just brainlessly default to playing vandal is just funny to me since if I play attention to the map I can get a advantage just by picking a different weapon. For example on breeze you can play guardian only without taking any close range fight and win almost any duel because that is what the map favors. Meanwhile on fracture I can run around with specters, stingers and shotguns mostly uncontested. The weapons matter and I think that especially this type of change would be vastly detrimental to the game leading to slower games and leading more people into the already bad habit of reloading after every bullet. Having a trade off is good game design and understanding that a full operator team is unlikely to work out anywhere except breeze despite being the most expensive weapon is what I think every good player should understand without issues.

First shot accuracy was inherited from CS. In CS, it was meant to discourage really silly nonsense gunfights, like one-tapping with a headshot on de_mirage from top of mid to jungle window with a CZ. It would be pretty stupid if a cheap pistol meant for desperate eco rounds could snipe across the map. Most rifles in CS have 100% first shot accuracy, as well as some semi-auto pistols. I'm not sure why the rifles and pistols in Valorant don't have perfect first shot accuracy though, these guns were clearly intended for longer-range engagements and the inaccuracies when tap-firing just make them annoying to use at times, this wasn't necessary to make the weapons balanced and give the Operator a purpose. The maps in Valorant have a lot of very large sightlines.
@rainbowflash5937 Жыл бұрын
While I agree with most parts I still have to say that CSGO also has this system. First shot accuracy is a thing there but I argue it's far more forgiving on it. I see that Riot intends to give Players roles. You hold a site with long angles? Get a OP or a Marshal (nobody calls it that way do any? It's a scout change my mind lol) but obviously your team shuld always change up the meta by switching roles out so the enemy won't just read you like a book at some point. I would wish if they would increase the accuracy on those showed rifles (smg's can be out cause like in any game they are never meant to be used on long based fights *cough* Pre 2017 UMP in CS *cough*) Anyways I really enjoy your content and you have a very calm and nice editing style.

I just did this exact test, but with 100 shots. At 30m, I got 100% headshots with the Vandal. At 50m, I got 74% without ADS and 97% with ADS. With a different crosshair (a dot crosshair), I got 54% headshots at 50m with no ADS. Maybe some crosshairs are misaligned? Or maybe the actual percentage is between 74% and 54%.

I would argue that the game is still competitive. If you choose a Vandal over a Guardian for long range fights, well then that was just a bad decision. Imo its good that the Vandal, like the phantom, has some kind of limitation that does not make it a perfect weapon in every scenario. So the skill aspect here is not purely aim, but also knowing when and how to play each gun. There'd be no reason to even play other guns, like the marshall or guardian, if the Vandal was perfect.
@Daniel-bo1xc Жыл бұрын
personally tend to disagree on this one (mostly) althought i agree it could be toned down in some cases. my arguement: (basically what you already said just in different words) the skill is in choosing the right tool for the right job, and once you have your "tool" choose fights apropriate for it, basically put yourself in the situation where you have the advantage (this way the inacurracy raises the skill ceiling by forcing you to make better choices. Also regarding "just make the first shot 100% and make the rest random" = competitive, just play the guardian right? obviously doesn't work right? i hope what i'm trying to say by that is understandable. That being said: great video as always, great production and all your arguements are obviously still totally valid, i just value the counterarguements more heavily, love it

In my humble opinion this isn't a problem. Now hear me out. Yes there might be luck involved in shooting guns but I don't think that that needs to he fixed. The Vandal and Phantom don't need to be perfect allrounder guns. If you really want to win that long range weapon then take up a guardian. If you give the option to have the first magazine perfect shot, the guardian would loose all it's purpose. I believe that the first shot accuracy is a feature that should be taken into account for the coice of weapon in a particular situation. It ads complexity to the game as when you lost the gunfight to the inaccuracie of the shot you either should have taken a different gun or not peek that angle that far away. This is just my opinion though so I'm not saying that this has to be like this :D

i think valorant doing this might be for the best. The lucky based accuracy forces players to utilize ads for better odds of scoring a headshot from a far away player. This also decreases aim-focused players being able to dominate in matches, forcing them to also consider mechanical skill and game sense. In a game where a rifle bullet from a vandal will one shot with a headshot, without the bullet inaccuracy, guns that focus on further range such as the marshal would be less efficient.
@pranav2169 Жыл бұрын
bro really just said so much and nothing at the same time💀 aim and mechanical skill are quite literally 1 and the same, idk what gave you the idea there’s any separation between the 2. and why would you bring up the marshall when talking about rifle 1st shot inaccuracy😭 they’re used in completely different scenarios, a better comparison would be the guardian but even then that’s a terrible comparison because the vandal/phantom will always be better than the guardian regardless of whether you’re fighting at 10m or 100. luck based accuracy is just a shitty game design choice, rather than just making 1 aspect of the gunplay luck based (1st shot inaccuracy vs recoil patterns) like cs, they did it to both, which gives us the janky experience we have now🤷♂️
@stevone1596 Жыл бұрын
@@pranav2169 sure, aim is a part of mechanical skill, but mechanical skill also entails movement, box jumps, holding off angles and other necessary skills to be good at the game and win more rounds. I brought up the marshal because in a scenario where there is first shot accuracy, other guns would be picked more (where the sheriff will be the dominant gun due to its lower price tag and high damage headshot). Sure, the marshal would still be very useful in long-range engagements whilst not being as useful closer range, but if there is no first shot accuracy error, someone with a vandal could consistently over power someone with a marshal in all engagements. This is why adsing in valorant is important, where in exchange of fire rate and easier recoil control, players are given a higher chance to score headshots on the enemy. It does sound a bit bullshit as the death of the enemy player is based on luck but the accuracy error forces players to take consideration of the gun's effective range and play off engagements like that.

@omerakgoz34 Жыл бұрын
Different guns have different type of play styles. If all guns have 0 spread on first shot, then you can use any gun to hs someone and this makes guns like snipers and guardian pretty useless. Riot made the guns this different to make you choose a specific gun to play in a specific play style. For example if you only want to one tap and watch far range, then choose guardian or a sniper. If you only want to spray and dont want to watch far range, choose spectre/ares/odin. But if you want to one tap and spray with the same gun, choose vandal/phantom/bulldog etc. I think all guns are pretty balanced in first bullet spread situation. And adding a new mechanic to make headshotting easy is not ideal. I cant image using spectre to hs someone. Its just dont make any sense. Also for cheaper ones like classic ghost... If you want better hs% just buy a more expensive gun like sheriff for pistol rounds, and guardian for normal rounds. It just dont make sense to being able to hs with every gun. It would be complete opposite of "balanced".
@via_embre Жыл бұрын
what riot is trying to do with this is discourage super long engagements - they want you to close in and take the fight from there if this weren't the case, high level players would be required to spend a disproportionately huge amount of their practice time to just aim drills to keep up. this is not any amount of fun, and very soul-draining, so riot introduces RNG to make it less viable, thus pros spend less time on trying to hit tiny pinpricks and spend more time on the rest of the game. maybe they instead could have made it so that weapons just straight up can't travel that far. maybe at 40+ meters phantom does 0 damage, 50+ for vandal. same thing, keep players from focusing on hitting pinpricks by making it so it isn't worth it. having RNG instead does that, *and* makes the game more engaging for those less skilled and allow gambles to be made, making it more exciting to watch.

If they make vandal, phantom first shot accuracy 100% guardian would be almost useless. Guardian in stats are better in First Shot Accuracy, Penetration and zoom.

Also Penetration doesn't really matter because there are better guns to shoot through thiccer walls.

OPINION ALERT (against) That’s why you ADS in long ranges, it reduces your first shot inaccuracy in longer ranges. They aren’t going to remove first shot inaccuracy for the vandal or sheriff because no one would buy the guardian for long range fights. Different guns have different first shot inaccuracies because they are created to specialise for specific ranges. I’m not going to buy a marshal second round on breeze if the sheriff is 100% accurate, no one would. A fully accurate shot for every gun’s first magazine bullet is going to encourage people to reload after every single bullet which would make this one of the most boring gun mechanics in the game.
