Same honestly. Whenever I get motivated I go back online, lock my agent, tell others to play what they are good at when they‘re not sure what comp we need… Only to get a Sage walling off Icebox B in defense giving attack a free plant. Not using her heal or slow ONCE, people generally not using ults at all (no idea what mystery-moment they‘re saving it for), taking spike alone mid while we have A and losing the round in the process. I know if I perform consistently I will climb. But BOY is it frustrating and tedious

So in the intro to the vod review you mentioned the concept of stopping power which reminded me of a video by a guy named AnderzTV who used to be on Fnatics coaching staff. The premise of the video was how in game design they create roles/classes for characters around things like Crowd Control, Vision Denial, economic efficiency, Damage, Healing etc and how each agent can essentially be given an arbitrary score which can obviously inform decisions when designing a team composition. I think you've may have touched on this concept or mentioned the video before but that video really helped me. I don't know if Lothar (DRX analyst) has updated it for the current patch but he used to have an excel spreadsheet where he kind of rated each agents and then had similar descriptions on how to optimally play them for example rating them on their dependency to ult orbs with or how important their use of vision denial is.

As a self proclaimed "minimap connoisseur", I have this problem because most of my ranked games in high gold/low plat have people who will not turn on their mics and act like I'm muted when I make comms. One guy even said, "Yo can you shut up? I've played riot games for thousands of hours and I'll tell you right now Valorant is not a team game. It never has been.". Stuff like that just blows my mind mid comp and I feel like I have no choice but to take in any opportunity for information possible. I keep the important callouts in chat setting on to get some calls at least. Obviously this is not optimal as I have to constantly take my eyes away from where they should be to read/interpret and it has gotten me killed many times. I just don't know how to avoid it because not having the comm/info has gotten me killed/lost the round more times. The less info I have, the slower I have to play.
@sagetarus16 ай бұрын
It's 2v2 and I'm on defense, spike rush planted B on Ascent. My teammate is lurking mid for the A-faker rotate. I get into a gunfight on site and while I'm fighting my teammate dies. I get my 1 and then.... crickets. Was last top-mid and I should just stick? Was last market and I can half? Was last CT so I can take my attention away from main for a little? Nothing, now I'm wasting what could be a free round holding an angle and giving last time to get into position for pushing me. This situation is entirely too common so it's very hard to break this habit (in my elo).
@Aire027 ай бұрын
Just now did i realise how much im focusing on gaining info and trying to play around team so im not focused... I knew i had trouble with focus mid round and now i know why, the only reason im higher ranked than him is that im just better mechanicaly subconciously (i was wondering why once i could compete at radiant level and then i went 2/13 in asc lobbies and i was especially poppin on unrated (i saw before im playing vs radiant same agent but still could win almost every gunfight)) That also explains why i did better with teamwork in immortal lobbies (comp)

I kid you not, Hooj said "are you this guy, sniffing your monitor?" and so I went into comp and I started sniffing my monitor - R1 I got a 3k, R2 I only saw one and my team killed the rest, and on our bonus I aced. Easiest match MVP of my life, turns out being absurdly close to your monitor makes it really easy to shoot

It’s what makes diamond so funny. There’s some players who understand the map and how it flows 5v5 but have the mechs of a silver. And not the good head tapping silvers, the instacrouch silvers. I’m diamond too and my mechs are okayish but I definitely don’t have the kinda macro a lot of these smoke players seem to develop. It makes sense that a controller becomes good at macro though, it’s necessary for the role as much as mechs directly scale up the value of a duelist.

I also have decent aim and crosshair placement and I often try to play with my team. So any tips that might help me get out of silver.

@@PracticalPotato I play with my team almost always. It's just that I can't get them to coordinate with me properly. Say for example when trying to enter site, I may ask for flash or stun. The teammates either do it too late or don't do it all. Most of the time they can't even trade me. I just finished a match on lotus and was about to win OT, Cypher and me were playing tree I got 2k and we also got spike down and almost the third kill 2 (I tagged raze 120). I did all of this while cypher was camping in the corner behind the trunk and did nothing with his odin and died afterwards. Sorry to bother you with the explanation but I thought it may give a clear idea about what kind of things am I struggling with.

That round 1 idea the banana man made up has to be communicated preround. I would be pissed if I was the jett/reyna pushing with those selfish smokes if my omen didn't say anything. Also he is being sloppy with the smokes by running without stopping to hit the smoke button. So many randoms leave gaps (like he did on heaven R1) because they rush them out. Take your time and build up the tempo when you know how to smoke properly.
