Love how he put all clips of mooda for the 4th one

[@1995Milky1995]

If you play lots of competitive games, you'll notice that 9:35 happens a lot. If you can pull yourself out of it, everything changes. It's fun, you don't get mad and you improve so fast. It works in real life too, to just approach things with genuine curiosity.

[@j3ff_k_610]

This video is exactly what I needed to hear right now ... I just got back into Valorant after about a year off playing other games and I've dropped from ascendant 2 down to plat 3... For the first while I was sure it was my mechanics that were rusty, so I hopped back into kovaaks and hit benchmarks... But as it turns out that's not the problem at all ... I been filling like every game, I been playing super risky for no other reason than to "dunk" on plats. And I've been focused only on winning games and not on my decisions during every round. At the end of the day I gotta play for fun in my free time and I needed to remember that if regaining my previous rank is even important it'll only happen if I go back to my main role and play percentage rounds... It's like I completely forgot what got me up in the first place. So thanks dude, you earned a sub today.

[@laelli2923]

As someone who spent a combined 25 Months in Diamond and Ascendant before I hit immortal for the first time, the last point is so big and it is something that I still need to learn. Focusing on what I did wrong round by round and being more analytical probably would've cut my time to immortal by almost half a year. Rn Im back in the cycle of losing a few games, going "I gotta lock in" then winning a few to gain back Immortal. This Video finally made that clear to me

[@TacoOverlord]

I'm no pro, but i have coached plenty people before. I want to say i really appreciate the points you hit on during the context segment, and how well articulated it was.

[@MaulanaFarisS]

the 4th habit fits with me the most. I enjoyed it when I started playing Valorant about one year ago. Now, I'm hardstuck at diamond 1. I lose motivation to play and it is because too much focus on the outcome. I hope I can enjoy playing Valorant again. thanks coach

[@0bade]

As a bronze player, i don't tryhard the ranks so i can't really understand that feeling, but maybe step back from ranked games for a bit? How about a week of swifts with friends? They have lovely people and perhaps the lower stakes could help you reset your mindset! I hope you get the pleasure that you lost back, and that you'll be able to hit ascendent or immortal :)

[@mukuro8033]

idk about the first one, but by filling made me realize that I'm a controller - Initiator main, than duelist/senti. I used to just run it down with being a Jett/Reyna/Iso on my ranked games and worked just fine till I get to Diamond, where playing I cant really outaim everyone anymore. And being a controller / Initiator makes me use my team mates better if they are under performing.

[@TwiG-c7t]

Honestly for me, I started climbing again once I started enjoying Valorant. If any of my friends were hardstuck or smt, I could just que with them and try to have fun with them. Even though we don't win every game, eventually they also started ranking up just because they were having fun.

[@慈養]

Konpeki, Can u make videos about inconsistency and intuition/gamesense? I really struggle with those

[@kibbq]

same. would love a video on this

[@placeg1381]

pretty sure he's made videos about those already. if you go to his youtube profile next to the "community" tab there's a search bar, you can search up consistency or game sense and it'll show you his videos relating to those topics

[@Kai_Astros]

The 4th tip is so true, even tho i often lose and botfrag i always learn something new everymatch

[@blobbi07]

cant wait to watch i love your videos konpeki :)0

[@CrimsonNashi]

I'm a hard stuck Silver for 3 acts now. I really like to be coached, but my schedule is kinda scrambles since I only play on an Internet Cafe... plus I don't have funds anyway. But videos like this always keeps me in track in my games.

[@Anh_Hao_Nguyen]

What should I improve as a Bronze II Cypher Main

[@Ram-nd8cb]

play csgo

[@arvindkc4066]

Go aim train

[@SadmanHossainOfficial]

I am a Bronze II gekko main, mumbai server

[@abhinavvamsiy]

Lol same here ,wanna queue together??​@@SadmanHossainOfficial

[@HunteryGo]

Just practice mechanics honestly, should get you to at least silver, if you want you could also look at pros but def not needed.

[@aamarsiddiqui468]

Sir Learned a lot from you long live konpeki

[@NoxofShadow]

That's it! I recently forgot to play to improve myself because I just wanted to go back to my previous rank. Thank you

[@pavanae]

The reason I clicked on video is the BEAUTIFUL THUMBNAIL

[@ziyansenpai2987]

Nha I don't agree with stick to a single agent I always fill and always match mvp and still climbing rank

[@goul_tropper24]

That is probably bc ur good at that role!

[@erickvareiro3929]

It's ok man,the the imortals and Radiants are wrong,you are right.Do what's best for you.Tenz is also wrong for supporting 1 agent main

[@417lsranger3]

It does always cracked me up when people told me not to use ADS when I’m top fragging.ADS had bigger advantages in my opinion than people realize (especially on console)

[@TheDumbOmelette]

the mooda slander 🤣🤣

[@NinjaGabe4]

Bro number 4 is so real

[@thomasma7271]

I hard stuck in sliver for 6 months since I start playing valorant and I have no idea how to climb out of low elo. I am a sentinel main, having 1.43KD, > 900 tracker score, consistently placing in top 5 against diamonds in DM so I believe I have decent basic skills for climbing to gold/plat? When there is no one picking smoke, I must pick omen as it is not winnable when we don’t have smoke in our team. When I just pick sentinel and my team fill with controller, it’s really horrible, they just smoke for the enemy’s team or just never smoke. When I try to rotate from mid and ask for a mid smoke or cat smoke etc, no one is responding to me. Game throwers, just keep pressing their W in post plant when we have ppl advantage. Decide to plant default instead of open when we have full site control. And flame others when we lose in post plant as we can’t spam the spike throw smoke. Dry peeking an OP for multiple rounds and never use util to clear OP angles. Instant lock jett who never dash in and take space. Duelist who never clear close angles. Hitting a site with cypher with at least 3 people and never rotate. Never play default and flaming me for not following them when I am controlling the other side of the map at 1:20 Bot fragging 5/1X Sage every time who carry the spike, peek mid and die. Teammates in sliver are too bad that I can’t even play a normal game. I am considering to start playing reyna or jett although I don’t like playing duelist as I don’t like intense close range fights. Is 1v5 every game without util is the only way to climb out of low elo? I have no idea why I am having the same rank with ppl who consistently make these mistakes. I understand focusing on self improvement is more important than climbing rank but it is frustrating when all your hard work doesn’t pay off. Thank you for reading so far.

[@yujinnishio7069]

i know its just a game, and i know win/loss doesnt effect me in the long run but i still get nervous when playing caring about outcome too much. hopefully i can apply the tip

[@Kadsistency]

Can you expound on the first point? I understand that comfortability will help you perform better individually, but that also won't solve the "no smoke comp" situation where attack side is ridiculously harder since you cannot get onto site as easily. Granted, I'm getting a bit anecdotal here, but still. Is the logic here that on average playing your comfort pick will often bad team comps in aggregate?

[@legendaryz_ch]

After uninstalling rito gems trash my life went uphill fast

[@jayakanthvelan3399]

the last one was key tho i didn't still use it but I think it will be a key for me to just hit iron 3 lol, oh also take break when you win a game and lose too

[@Man_of_Tears]

I'm hard stuck in Radiant, not improving till the next rank really frustrates me. I have to climb

[@tantwoo3865]

for SOME reason, this one helped me with academics instead

[@eaglewho]

just because i don't end up filling, i mained Breach (initiator) and Brim/Omen(smokes). Now I don't fill but choose it because i want to use it. Easy

[@KimonoEtrange]

I mostlty agree with point 1 but I think that if there is no controllers for smokes it could be harder in general even if you stick to your role...

[@river.]

I play so low risk high reward that I get accused of baiting 😂

4:14 what settings does he have to make the game look so simple? just all low?

[@kiwiking-h6b]

question. Is a 3 pieces of utility worth 1 to 2 kills. i am a breach main and i have a setup using aftershock, flash and stun. about a 50% chance I get a few kills.

[@shreyasmahajan41]

I seem to know what my problem is but I can't seem to really know it so can someone help me Firstly when I see someone high rank than me I just become and play like shit and I know that rank difference means difference in skill too but when I don't know they are high ranking than me I can diff them easily like yesterday enemy Reyna aced us in 3 round and we asked Reyna her rank she was s1 and i was b2 after that I played like full shit but when I stopped caring like fxck it and started playing like normal against her i was diffing her hard and here comes second problem when I was awakened and I look at tab I was top fragging after few rounds I become too passive and fell to mid frag and it's not just this match like when I see i top frag or like am playing good and see good stats I just really become passive or play slow and just avoid fights and third problem I observed is that I am just obsessed with stats like I have 1.5 of with Jett and 70 wr but I don't want that stat too go down so I don't play her so I play other duelist or any other agent cause of teammates or because of my obsession and lastly can someone help me with Jett knives I just suck with them

[@k3ndr1ckk0h6]

i already know why im not ranking up(not enough time) but i watched this anyways haha

[@total_carnage007]

I saw myself when you showed that bronze 2 career

[@Myloly_BaBy]

In my opinion, if you want to be good at Valorant and "intend" to play, you have to invest in buying skins or buying aim trainers like Kovaaks and aim train 30 or 1 hour before the competitive so that you feel your Forearm burning so you feel how to " Aim "

[@devinwhite2047]

How do I get into that mindset of improving

[@Explowd_]

ah yes the mooda example is so good xD

[@teaco3088]

Konpeki to pro arc when???

[@fennecfoxfello2875]

I really like this video, im not necessarily hardsuck (yet) i hit diamond last act and yet i still feel like i dont deserve it for how i play, but some of what this video is just saying that what works you should keep doing, and what i do does work even if its unconventional, and even if i cant even beat medium bots in the range yet, when im doing better than my team i should congratulate myself and not be salty i dont have the same aim as them (which is my main problem). If i got to diamond all by myself and ive been able to hold my own without deranking then i deserve the rank, right?

[@oliver2938]

But what do I do, when my whole team is making all 4 mistakes in this video, losing every 1v1 and nobody is talking? Cause thats EVERY game I play. I have a consistent kd, I Look for These low risk high reward plays, i try to koordinate with my team, and yet I still have a negative winrate

[@1LeoLeonardo1]

probably would consider that your "scheduled loss" for the day. I would say that you can still attempt to salvage / reclaim some win rate / RR by continuing to work on maintaining a clean gameplay even while you are losing. You might not win that specific game but you are still developing your skills. Just because we won't win doesn't mean we should train to come in second place

[@XenixROBLOX]

ADS isn't bad, I just suck with it

[@Saltkoenigin]

I was hardstuck in iron bcs am used to CS2 mechanics and the Finals mechanics. After months of grinding I was able to ascend to bronze 1. Only to derank again. First I thought my hard work was for nothing, when I carried iron lobbies I realised, it was my reaction speed which was why I was stuck. Not the aim 😂

[@smileygaming2732]

Hey Konpeki, I've been seeing recently in my ranked games people that play smokes like omen or clove and not smoking. Because of that I get trust issues when someone picks a controller role and get tilted in one way or another. What could be the best thing to do if this happens while not taking down the team's mental?. (I am a controller main myself... if you were wondering 😅)

[@river.]

I am losing my patients 😤😤

how about the same rank for all of eternity?

[@vaikaipurliukai5933]

Thx but this kinda cant help when i get bot lobbys then i click play on tdm one guy is killing all of us i check his tracer hes d3 wth am i supposed to do when im iron like excuse me

[@Infernal07]

No, I clicked on this video to see what u think about that guy from lower ranks that every other game finishes with single digit deaths and 30+ frags, a difference in score that you can see with your naked eye. That guy that you imagine will for sure rank up in a few games and you will never see again, because he is clearly better than Silver. And you queue again, and there he is, just with a different name. That guy that if you have a chance to win against, it's only when you have your own teammate smurf that can match his skill. It's that guy that hires expensive coaches, learns the mechanics, grinds daily and spends countless hours, to just get bored of sweating in DIA/ASC* or whatever, so he instead stomps in Silver and Gold half the games, and trolls on purpose to drop rank the other half. (*ofc I admit not all smurfs are DIA/ASC, but even a high Gold is a smurf in a low Silver lobby)

[@Mr.banana876シ]

Lowkey clicked on this video as an omen main thinking omen was keeping me in silver💀

[@xumps]

[@averagegamer4346]

He might be if you are playing him to fill and not genuinely interested in him.

[@Nightmare-kw5oh]

One thing I have learned: Know when to STOP! Is it worth playing that rank up game after playing a game that was rage inducing? Is it worth the risk of playing while tired?

[@pandemonium6478]

I'm sorry, but what do you mean by "inputs" when you're talking about the last tip. Is it the things that I do and the decisions I make? Thank you and nice video. Even though I don't care much about this game this is just fun to watch. Good luck out there mate!

[@ordinary3744]

yep, that’s what he means.

[@peacenlovex5098]

the blackjack reference is a miss. even with "the best odds" you are at 51%, and it's only sustainable when you have the bankroll for it. It's entirely possible to get very unlucky and lose everything while playing blackjack perfect even at a higher odds than the house. and that's assuming you've master a 2 point system without error

[@therealpotato-1]

Keep at that win rate and it’ll surely drop, so might as well figure it out now rather than later. Winning is the only thing that matters when climbing
