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

[@Phaswon]

Yes I was searching for a comment like this but its fair for him to assume that he has to ADS because that's how most FPS shooter games work

[@aaronl19]

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!

[@essonyoutube]

8. use phantom until next episode

[@thelemur55]

@@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.

[@sumanthmoole]

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

[@eggegg6448]

Wow the pacing, flow, and commentary are really nice and entertaining

[@Chillgolfer9664]

The old tutorial had a practice area when you are playing Sova instead of phoenix. it gives you the idea of how the game works base on only brimstone's voice guides you how to play. This one is more different compared to the old one, after practicing with other guns and going through the tutorial, your basically heading towards hell with full of toxic players who don't know how to aim and crack level demons on the other team. That's based on my experience since Champions 2022. but this game for some reason is still fun once in a while. Edit: it is hard to impress to someone who have no experienced of how to play the game. It just comes to people's inspiration of why they play this game what value do you have in this game.

[@3DWiz]

Really glad this channel exists! Anytime I wonder if Id enjoy a game you show me I clearly wouldn't!😂 Keep up the good work!

[@JetJeb5648]

08:45 couldn't have been further from the truth 😔✋

[@GoobyTheSlime]

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!

[@jorgeccdragon]

[@Ishianox]

Im not sure if they changed it but your able to go into the range in order to play different agents and test out their abilities.

[@GunMan12358]

8:15 It is a little tedious, but you could go into the sandbox training mode and check out all agents (even ones you don't own yet)

[@emmabailey3585]

some tips/explanations that might help out new players: 1. hipfire is the main way to use these guns, with a few exceptions 2. there is no spray pattern to memorize in valorant, unlike csgo. they want you to single-triple burst shots, especially on vandal 3. theres is little to no mmr/sbmm in swiftplay and team deathmatch, so you may play against people of much higher skill than you in these modes

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.

[@S1nGuLariTY_]

Your story telling is really good.

[@sneakyakdude7526]

So the reason that the shield only absorbs 66% of damage, is because of the fact that when you get healed by a say sage heal, it only heals health not armor. This way if you got hit by one vandal shot, you could heal up to around 135(?). If shield absorbed all of the damage, you would not be able to heal until the second vandal shot, in which case you could only heal around 30 hp. It is made so that healing has much more of an impact in the round. If you read the description of the regen shield though, it doesnt do the same thing as light and heavy, and instead takes 100% of the damage. This is because it heals it back, and if they didnt have this, you could theoretically die while still having shield on, which would be a bit infuriating. Also, 8:40 you can go into the practice range, which is basically the first tutorial thingy, and there you can test out all of the agents, even if you havent unlocked them yet.

[@SHROGGERS]

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.

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.

[@IJO221]

Hi, 2.5 year val player who made it to diamond, here's some thoughts: A big misconception is that you're supposed to use ADS in valorant. You're not except a few guns (stinger, bulldog, guardian in some situations, and snipers) The rifles are extremely accurate at long range. There's a lot of reasons you don't use ADS, but the main ones is that it slows down your fire rate (yes, I know that's not how guns work irl) and you move slower. The mechanics of games like this are very difficult, not because the game itself is inherintly hard, but that it's different from every other game. Halo, The Finals, Overwatch, etc. all let you run and gun and if you don't you die. Val is the opposite. It's a good idea to watch a basic guide for a character before playing them so you have a better idea of what to do and don't look like an idiot. if you want to "git gud," watch some aim training vids and follow them and practice. Once you get around gold rank start watching woohoojin for more character specific things.
