well i get consistent 26 pings but get wrecked by 104 pings.Whenever i jiggle peek they just headshot me

[@umairfarooq2466]

Skill issue

[@Thadedeus]

valorant has horrible netcode

[@Formidor]

Your jiggles are probably wider than you think

[@ravin4922]

dont believe that 100+ ping players just have a peekers advantage. Eu players on NA servers 90% of the time are just hacking and using high ping as a cover up

[@arcanespirit6001]

It's like the game is predicting we are gonna peek and showing them that and when they peek it's just insta death even if the hit 4 body

[@latortugapicante719]

He explained it literally opposite

[@Ribcut]

Yep. As I said, being good at video games doesn't translate to being intelligent in general.

[@kushvalorant]

No he is right, the higher ping guy does have the peekers advantage that's true it's just how networking works but it's also true that his bullets reg slower than the lower ping guy so the lower ping guy has the advantage anyway coz most of the time he gets the first shot

[@activezuko9886]

this is straight cap i get average 15 ping and when i hold a angle with the OP someone with 40 ping wide peeks and 1 shots me

[@nepiaedward3509]

Your human benchmark must not correspond to your ping or you fps is ass either of the two because I went from 45 ping to 37 and I felt huge difference like was receiving good head for the first time sheeeesh

[@activezuko9886]

@@nepiaedward3509 human benchmark is 150ms and i have a 2080 ti which gives me constant 300fps

[@nepiaedward3509]

@@activezuko9886 well I'm that guy on 40 ping , when I match up with anyone below 25 ping that person kills me so fast they've already shot 3 bullets before my 1 even if I see them first hell some dude would be jumping mid air land and his bullets register faster

[@roz067]

@@nepiaedward3509 that analogy made me laugh

[@stepbroimhardstuckinvalorant]

People with higher ping have better peekers advantage.

[@Danieljosol]

dumb question - which fights/angles are considered 50/50 duels? Can you give examples? What are non-obvious examples of non 50/50 duels? (i.e, like i know if you have your back at an enemy, i know at least that much that thats not a 50/50)

[@bigdoge4018]

A "50/50 angle" is basically anytime you walk into something that can have a spot to hold on both left and right, good example would be on Bind and walking in to hookah

[@larryxiang822]

@@bigdoge4018 true, but tenz wasn’t really talking about this. He kind of meant he only takes duels that are in favor of him. One example of a really 50/50 duel is mid of haven, barring updrafts. Both sides (b site vs mid window) have a very equal chance of killing the other. An example of a duel that is very one sided would be dry peeking icebox’s b main. A defending player with good crosshair placement will one tap you so fast.

[@addictedtoair1351]

When both parties are in open

[@Formidor]

You cannot flow chart an answer for this. You can’t have an answer that looks like “when x condition is met, it’s a 50/50”. What you should be asking is what fights are considered 50/50s and WHY they’re considered 50/50s

[@phineas1112]

Probably when he knows the enemy health and/or position by a teammate call.

[@Bighomer5]

Another bad tenz take

[@gaylord2505]

Is like shroud. People think cos he is good at the game he knows what hes talkin about.

[@rohan1_]

He's right in that low player speed minimises the peekers advantage a lot compared to CS

[@gaylord2505]

@@rohan1_ while this was also to me the only logic i could make of this video u have to see that he didnt even mention once in this clip movement speed.

[@rohan1_]

@@gaylord2505 Because he seems to be talking about the outcome/implications of the move speed difference, rather than the cause.

[@sk-xg7re]

@@rohan1_ true, I'm a csgo player myself and movement animation in CS is so fvcking weird

[@Ribcut]

Just proves being good at video games doesn't translate into being intelligent

[@sfyner]

how

[@Ribcut]

@@sfyner Because what he's saying is objectively the opposite of true. Higher ping gives greater peeker's advantage, and Valorant has much higher peeker's advantage in general compared to CS:GO because of interpolation. This has been proven in several videos, and you can experiment with this yourself. Tenz is 10x the Valorant player I'll ever be, but in game skill has nothing to do with cognitive ability in general.

[@sfyner]

@@Ribcut he understands that high ping Is meant to give more peakers advantage, he's just questioning the fact that it's strange that he feels more peakers advantage with lower ping players, then he goes to explaining what it is but you are probably right in most of what you are saying, can you explain the interpolation thing and do you still play valorant or cs, neither or both

[@Ribcut]

@@sfyner I'm not sure if we're watching the same video, but he's saying the exact opposite of what you just said. He said peeker's advantage was better in CS, when it was actually much lower, and then he's quite literally saying lower ping gives better peekers advantage (opposite of true). At no point whatsoever does he acknowledge what you're saying, or even hint at it. Everything he's talking about is pure nonsense. Definitely a prodigy at the game, but his education and perception in general is hilariously bad.
