6 months from Silver to Radiant is crazy. I went from Iron 3 to Silver 2 in a year. (900 hours)

ascendant didnt exist when he went from silver to radiant so like it was a bit easier but still very impressive

[@ajay1589]

One thing that screwed me for literally 2 years was not realizing that my gaming laptop had a weird overheating issue that was causing my connection to Valorant to almost imperceptible but truly game breaking lag spikes. My ping would always be excellent (~15-30), my FPS would be 200-300 but I would still get that "Connection to server error" intermittently during ALL of my game and just generally feel like that "Peekers advantage" was insanely strong. I thought it was normal and I just sucked until I tested out disabling some of my computers built-in settings that were causing heating issues and then it was like I was starting over from square one with an actually functioning game. Thankfully those 2 years helped immensely when it came to game sense and maps and movement but the fact that I was inherently screwed for 2 whole years and spent so many games fully inted seeing no progress bothers me a lot. So I always tell new players to make sure the game is actually running properly - watch some streamers on twitch and get into the youtube tutorials to see if you could be inadvertently playing a game with a handicap.

[@yaywoohoo]

yo please explain i think i might have that problem too

[@hasankhaddam540]

Damn bro, I feel bad for you, I think it's really the worst type of thing that can limit your aim because it's not even your fault, it's the computer's fault, but I'm glad for you you found a way to fix this !

[@echabbiyassine7418]

Can you tell me the setting that u disabled

[@ajay1589]

For those who are asking - my computer was using "Rog Boost" to make opening up programs more seamless. But it basically is buggy and overheats the CPU and GPU while gaming and causes, usually, small microlag spikes. Sometimes they were major and I would actually "teleport" because I would lose connection for maybe a second. This feature wasn't able to be turned off because it was hidden so I had to find a guide that showed how to do it through the registry editor. My laptop was going 80C + every game and after turning that off it went down to ~60C and those little lag spikes completely disappeared. Even if you don't have rog boost, check to see if your computer is firing some kind of "overclocking" feature that is used for gaming/programs. It could be doing the same thing. Specifically look up your computer make and model with "overheating while gaming"@@yaywoohoo

Thanks, Konpeki. I'm currently bronze 2 and I don't really play that well. My aim kind of sucks and I have 0 game sense. With your guides, I hope to improve in the game since this is my first fps and I don't have good aim and stuff!

[@kusolp544]

I reall struggle in valorant.being silver currently with gold 3 peak.yet i played high rank in paladisn/overwatch in grandmaster. Gotta learn from this video

[@IIRagnaTheBloodEdge]

Maybe it is because Valorant is a tactical shooter and not only a Hero Shooter like Overwatch or Paladins on which you will be moving and shooting most of the time, also you will need a lot of bullet hits to get a kill, in Valorant with just one headshot you're done, also, moving and shooting is not worth (It works sometimes, but it shouldn't) XD

[@kusolp544]

@@IIRagnaTheBloodEdge spectre says it working Xd

[@Yevyevy_]

Whats your current dpi and game sensitivity?

[@omegarhotv4746]

Only thing I disagree with is the mouse button configuration. It’s preference of course. But also- anything bound to them vs the time to activate or deploy an ability is so small most normal players won’t even see a benefit moving them to a key. Another plus is you have some util bound to say a side button, you can move in any direction and deploy it. Try moving left and throwing a Phoenix Q at the same time. But Omega- you don’t need to do that as you are usually standing still or pressing W! Then I won’t matter what button it’s on as long as it’s within reach then huh. :)

[@fnDxny]

im using 0.35 with 1600dpi and i feel like any lower sense after 1+ hour causes my wrist to hurt so it might just be personal prefrence on your hands ect.

[@Nikibudd]

I mainly play raze and have my satchels on my mouse so I can double satchel well. Since I also like to jump 1-3 times after satcheling to keep my speed for a bit longer i put my jump on scrollwheel down. Since i was so used to using my mouse for jump and satchel i decided to bind my nade to scrollwheel up because my middle finger is always on my scrollwheel anyways. It works for me but you said to not use your mouse for that. Should I change it or just let it be because i feel like with me it doesn't really make a difference.

[@derk486]

Another thing is you need to find your quirks and comfortable ways to play the game as in dont copy a pros setting and expect to be great. Many pros and high level players have quirks like weird mouse grip, super high/low sens. Find something that makes you comfortable.

[@youriichi-pixel]

Haven't finished the video, only two minutes in, but the sens thing... I liked going fast in games, (Valorant is my first FPS) and it was one of my first games, so I played for like 4 months on 2000 DPI and 3 sens (Not .3, Just three) Always fun going spin with the small movement of a mouse. Now its .4 with 3000 DPI.

[@MountainPieEnjoyer]

That is still a terrible EDPI, you're supposed to be somewhere between 200-400 EDPI usually. That is 1,200 EDPI that you have right now.

[@Xechoyne]

​​@@MountainPieEnjoyersome of us are poor enough to only have A6-sized mousepad bro 😢 I can't even swing my wrist, let alone my entire arm, thus higher sens is the only way (1024 EDPI here)

[@waves3793]

Yo Konpeki even if I’ve been playing the game for a while and am still stuck in silver then should I do that practice routine, or is it just for begginers

[@BombShot]

I'm going to speak for him, Yes. If you're looking to improve at all, you should have some sort of routine. I'd recommend using woohoojin's aimlabs routine at the end of you matches. Warmup with headshots on the practice bots in the range, then turn around and shoot at the flying drones moving between each shot, a death match focused on crosshair placement, and one more deathmatch focused on trying to hit heads and do good movement. That's what I do and I hit plat last week. If you need help w/ anything like this comment and I'll get a notif and come back to see what's up.

[@user-hu3yf1tv4w]

What if i am more comfortable on .85 sense with an 800 dpi mouse? Should i opt to going lower?

[@aksavage8383]

I have a trouble with my sensitivity that i always can't micro adjust during fights, no matter what sens i use high or low or no matter what grip i use tight or loose i always lack micro adjustment during comp games

[@7i7i7i7i7i]

i think you should limit yout fps at like 65 fps max because having so much fps on a 60hz monitor is pretty much useless and you will make your pc run at a higher performance than your monitor can handle visually. limiting your monitor at 60/65 fps max you also will get less fps drop and more consistent performance
