As a solo cue, no comms player, it’s pretty easy to work with your team. You either become the play maker and your team will be behind you, or you listen to the plays your team are making and perform your role (smokes, entry etc)to the best of your ability. The problem is when your team is making a bad play and you have no choice but to go along with it; plus people take you less seriously when you don’t communicate with your voice

[@azu_cena2074]

As an Iron 3 player, it's always 33/33/33 in iron. A third of us CAN shoot and play the game, but get screwed over by hackers/smurfs. The other third is just really really bad and they get screwed over naturally. Then the final third is a comabation of both. Point is we're all suffering down here :')

[@poopydoopy2000]

I think all you need is game sense and movement to at least reach bronze 1. There are more complicated stuff too for anything higher so start somewhere other than just aiming!

[@wabalabavxx]

you're coping if you think your games are being ruined by hacked in iron. you just have too big of an ego to admit that you're bad. I've seen a lot of iron/bronze players claiming they should be gold or plat, but when you see their gameplay its always the same, bad util usage like not using util when they should be, or using util when they should be shooting, spraying and praying, rushing their shots, having zero knowledge about economy, not working around enemy ultimates, not playing good angles, not looking at their minimap at all. They always say the same thing, "my aim isn't good , but my gamesense is really good, and I play with my friend in gold/plat lobby and I perform good" , its such a big cope. And when you see their gameplay, their "gamesense" is just so dogshit, they have no idea what they're doing and why theyr're doing it, always autopiloting. pick any round and ask them which part of the map each enemy player would be playing and they're super clueless. So stop coping, if you can shoot and can play the game you shouldn't be in iron

[@sinutso9348]

the smurfs that are in iron are like silvers and golds, not diamonds+ (at least not frequently). people smurf in every rank so i still find it insane that people blame smurfs for their rank. its not every game, and literally every other valorant player deals with the same thing. plus hackers are not in iron, u just make that up. those are just smurfs or streamsnipers. the only reason people hack is to achieve a high rank. if they are using some shitty cheat, it would probably be in unrated and they would be banned immediately. cheaters are very very very rare in valorant. the reason u cant rank up is because u are truly iron and thats all there is to it

[@ccc34678]

It's not hackers bro. When you meet a really high ranked player, you're going to think he's hacking. For eg, you're running at him and when he kills you because obviously he heard you coming a mile away, you'd say he's hacking. When you have 0 game sense, you're constantly getting outplayed and if you get outplayed every round you're going to think somebody is hacking but trust me, that's not the case. Sound is a huge factor in valorant and most players in low elo don't understand its significance.

[@SlapMyAshe]

@@poopydoopy2000As someone who’s been playing Valo for about a month and just hit bronze, honestly it’s just about communicating and practicing your aim. The game sense came the more I played

Behavior: 65% Iron / 30% Bronze / 5% Silver He can get out of Iron by using a cable instead of wifi and a better mouse. His mouse movements were very choppy. (Sensitivity, shape, or tracking issue, but clearly something is off.) For him to reach Silver and above, he needs a lot of behavioral changes and comms.

[@dukcy7450]

you dont need ethernet, and you can get by with simply a mouse with an optical sensor to reach diamond

when seeing his gameplay, i can imagine him as a low bronze player, i'd say b2 at most because ik there are some bronze players who just get boosted by their friends. ive had people on my team like him when i was bronze and it was a bit frustrating because they were the ones playing duelist.

[@Asiro-S]

tbh, there's no need to get boosted to bronze, it is almost the lowest rank in the game, it is easy to get there.

[@aiiseon]

@@Asiro-S you’d be surprised, there are a lot of irons who struggle to hit bronze. It’s such an inconsistent rank

[@Asiro-S]

@@aiiseon honestly, the only reason i can think of you would struggle in bronze is because of potato pc or you are just new to the FPS games and need to adiust. But still honestly no need to be boosted, i always hear someone calling other ones are boosted, but usually it is just capping. I am silver 2 in CS:GO for example and I was called boosted so many times that I can't count, but what you need to remember, when you are on the lowest possible ranks, it is just fine to be bad.

[@OminousOnyx772]

yeah im iron 3 and its very inconsistent. its mainly because i play sometimes with my diamond 3 friends so I try to have good gamesense, but the reason most irons dont have gamesense is because you dont need it. they do the most unexpected things and random bull crap and get lucky because you try to understand where they are, but they are somehow camping your spawn when spike is down.

[@Asiro-S]

@@OminousOnyx772 get better at aiming/movement, that's all you need to reach even diamond, tbh. game sense is definitely not what you need at iron level.

[@derSkedda]

The thing with iron players is, some of their hidden mmr easily places then in bronze/silver lobbies. Usually Iron 3s can be pretty good already, you can have decent aim and hit one taps in Iron 3 and still be stuck there. The problem then is, that your gamesense and crosshair placement are just atrocious because otherwise you wouldn't be in iron anymore.

[@dukcy7450]

if they played at a silver level for long enough their mmr would give them the net rr gain for that rank

[@timmytenor1940]

This isn't true. Most irons will play with bronze 3's at the max, never silvers. That would be like a plat in an ascendant lobby.

[@IsaacBoss823]

The main thing that really hurts me to watch this is the fact that the iron never tries to trace when spraying. they also insta-crouch a tooonnnnnn. I used to be hard stuck iron once upon a time, but I have only been playing for half a year. I'm now silver 2, but this is just so bad looking at now compared to accurate this was to my gameplay back in lower elo.

[@IsaacBoss823]

also, the only thing that's really going for the iron is the flicks to enemies, because again, if they move, the iron isn't adjusting the crosshair

[@romycurry854]

The reason why people say irons are cracked is because they have nothing to lose at the bottom so they go out of there way to do stuff just to get a kill and when they pull it off it looks amazing

[@jackalcrackle]

his aim is severely lacking (particularly in regards to aim speed), if he improves that he could climb to silver just with pure aim. Also his positioning/coordination with teammates definitely needs improvement (especially as he is playing reyna).

[@cornarmy1180]

Eggwick yelling "Put your turret down" is the funniest thing

[@user-0909]

Im going to share my experience. 1. I was like a week in iron and got out pretty fast because I mvp 30 kills a lot, so I don't think "being stuck on iron" is a thing. You either don't play much, or you're overestimating yourself. 2. Yes, sometimes you can get one tapped by irons, but it's mostly because they use right-click all the time and/or are crouching. That wouldn't fly on higher elo.

to put it in perspective (as far as your comment as silver to plat isn't a big leap) - I am a Gold player. I get put in plat lobbies, and I'll be anywhere between like 8th and 5th overall. It eventually puts me in silver lobbies (just skips gold) and the last game I played in silver I dropped 30 with 2 jett knife aces. farther in - no, not every gold smokes like that. most of the time it's flush with the entry, sometimes (like the door in market on ascent) it'll go all the way out to the platform depending on what the plan is, but yes, few duelists entry.
