Should You REALLY Be Saving In Valorant?

[@alexanderdejesus4986]

as a stats major the graphs and having someone properly communicate the statistics makes the video even more interesting.

[@paradoxreboot]

i agree as a math major, that was the most interesting and informative parts ive seen from one of these

[@ttttt23932]

Please explain what the hell Z tests and T tests are like I’m 5

[@paradoxreboot]

@@ttttt23932 sure, why not. Both Z score and T score are a measure of how far away form the mean you are. For a z score, it is literally the number of standard deviations you are away from the mean, with a z score of 0 meaning you are at the mean, and a z score of -2.2 means you are 2.2 SDs less than the mean. T score is fundamentally the same, except a z score is used for populations and large samples where a t score can be applied to smaller sample sizes. Another difference is the T test is centered around 50, with a deviation of 10 (e. 40 or 60) interpreted as 1 Standard deviation away. Importantly, you can use a T test when the population standard deviation is unkown. Not really a ELI5 but more of ELI am in my first stats class. hope this was clear!

This is one of the big points I bring up when people say csgo is the same as valorant, the economy is really different.

[@ManasChachra]

Who tf says cs is same as valorant, it literally has a shit ton of abilities u can do, cs is very bland in comparison and only relies on aim

[@NNRobert]

@@ManasChachra Not entirely true, it just has different ways as they both have flashes, smokes, even stuns each game just does it differently. And their mechanics are basically the same for the most part in the aim category.

[@r4gem0dus34]

@@ManasChachra In Valorant you don‘t even need aim haha, just hold a corner and click at the right time. Even when u run away u still hit. Cs:go you can outplay someone with good movement while in valorant someone will literally just dash in with spectre and run and gun you ;)

[@relinquiem]

@@r4gem0dus34 you dont wanna talk about csgos sniping shotguns dont you?

[@DavidPixleythemuzzlZ]

Utility also plays a large roll. In CSGO, full utility lost from a death is just that much more to loose. Also, 2 exit frags is a $400 gain and two enemy rifles lost (in vawowant).

[@Kmn483]

Good point. Saving unused skills even if you die and getting 1 signature at the start of round is huge.

[@P1nstr1p3]

Super happy to see someone talking math, error, and possibility about a tactics shooter! Would love to get a more detailed breakdown of esports statistics!

[@theo9832]

So eco rounds in csgo, to be fair while it may not be easy to win a round it's very easy to take away some guns and while growing your economy, slowly breaking the enemy's

[@DrSharknome]

Hey that’s me @ 11:00 , cool to see :) really enjoyed the video!

[@BIONICTHUMB]

Thats actually something I do enjoy about playing Valorant is how the only time you really need to save is like if you have an Op or if you are on the other side of the map and they are defusing already with no hope of you meeting anything other than a firing squad. In reality any situation you can make do with just a specter and light armor, anything more makes it easier but isn't completely necessary

[@gagers78]

Nah spectre light is not good enough, any ranged fight you basically lose by default, a rifle and light is good enough, bulldog is like the bare minimum for a buy round.

[@gagers78]

@@anortherner no shit, but you don't have that much control over the range unless you're playing ct, and even then the spectre isn't a 1 shot headshot which really hurts it. Sure you will win some fights but 90% of the time against rifles I would rather have a sheriff or marshall

[@LightRecce]

Valorant is just living through cs go's life cycle now. Remember the "force every round with armor p250 meta" ? Yeah, thats Valo right now. Don't force every round, esp. if you're below high plat.

[@tacoman5731]

Val is way past the Force phase, that was over a year ago in the Stinger round 2/3 every time and when you're broke. Back when Stinger could outgun the phantom close range and run and gun was busted. As well as how the bucky right click was broken as well. Val will always have a buy focused gameplay as there is such a low number of rounds in a half.

[@CodeWeaverCW]

Kinda interesting how Riot's goal was to make saving less attractive, but as Dani said, lowering the cap from 12k¤ to 9k¤ made saving a more common choice as teams with 12k would make riskier plays… If I had to guess, I'd say saving didn't become more/less viable but that saves from both teams became more rhythmic, which is still great IMO.

My general rule is if im losing an eco round but somehow got ar from enemy, go save. Otherwise its all or nothing.

[@visweshwaranbaskaran4616]

why would you save an enemy gun in your eco round? you are anyway gonna be able to buy a gun next round with it, go do something useful with that AR

[@YY096]

@@visweshwaranbaskaran4616 I'm not a duelist main, so if i get ar on eco usually i give them to my duelist or buy them something so they can save for op. Basically building my team eco.

Shit is broken, they nerf it tho hahahaha.

[@sameez8701]

Immo 75rr right now, I will never not save after loosing pistol round, it doesn’t make sense to force the 50/50 and either go against guns the next round, or have no money and have to save the other teams bonus
