This is how Radiants position so quickly | Darshan Coaching ep. 2

[@__vha]

This series with Darshan goes to prove that improvement is all about mentality and consistent and intentional practice. Darshan has an improvement mentality hardwired from his time as a league pro, just gotta channel that mentality.

[@MilaneseMoon]

I only got this in chess. Strafing targets in aim train kills me.

[@ivangg378]

Also he can play +10hs a day without getting tired. :P

[@TechSupportDave]

@@MilaneseMoon in valorant it's not really necessary to be able to track. You could easily hit immortal, maybe radiant, and still suck at tracking.

[@MilaneseMoon]

@@TechSupportDave never said I did track training lol. I said strafing targets kill me

Day 5 of trying to make it to gold by March 11: deranked to bronze twice today but I won’t blame it on my teammates because that would be bad for my mental. I will bounce back and I will make it to gold

The way Darshan says stuff like, “oh god thats so good coach, tell me more!” Is so reminiscent of how my collegiate MOBA team treated our coach. So sarcastic i love it

[@thesmoothstoner5022]

Loving this series. So much great info from the banana it’s hard to know what to focus on first. This series is creating a nice roadmap for developing those skills in order of importance, very much appreciated.

Really loving this series and the one with jpc. I've been doing intentional practice most days. I've already noticed improvements in my movement and recognizing more patterns I can take advantage of mid game. The dubs haven't come through yet, but I'm sure they will soon. Off for a few days cause I'm moving, but super excited to get back to it. May jpc bless u 🤘🏾

I was a challenger league player for a while before dropping it for other comp games, recently picking up val so this series is almost perfect targeting for how i work Sick stuff

[@Heylow]

So idk if this will be seen, but I think an awesome comparison for "minimap mode" for league players is to treat checking your map like recalling. You're always looking to get in the nearest brush (break LoS) or you know for a fact nobody is around cause they all showed on vision. So whenever you want to look map, you need to "recall"

[@flipP2021]

[@theingeniuscloud5216]

For sure, he clearly has an unbeatable mindset.

[@klos6731]

Hey, risk global domination world championship finalist here, in that scenario it would probably actually make the most sense to send the 6 troops to the square that's connected to both borders. Risk is a psychological warfare game (especially in the 1v1v1 situation) where you want to dissuade others from attacking. Having those troops exactly 1 square away from combat is a way to say "if you attack me i'm slamming those 7s in your face". In this specific case it's -i'd say- the best default move against most opponents because you re saying it to 2 people. A good valorant analogy would be fast rotate to hold with recon on each site, with a backup retake plan if ennemies are too fast

[@zircon9698]

Interestingly enough, Sinatraa is really good at 'finessing' cover/bullets i'm pretty sure because he was an Overwatch Pro. In overwatch, positioning/cover and damaging the enemies while taking minimal damage are really critical because the more damage the enemies get on you, the faster they can build up their ult

[@yaroslavcoloskov6357]

28:40 at this moment he knew that he fucked up oh however the meme goes

[@d-alp7167]

38:50 just a deeper thought going into this position wouldn't it be better to double up with the astra rather than attempting the crossfire, since (what I would think) the kayo can feel uncomfortable exposed to two angles so he'd tuck inside and maybe try to catch the guy trying to take halls in a 2v1. Which can lead to a isolated 1v1 with the astra + in lower elo is less likely people attempt double swings (last part is more debatable) ps. Im diamond

[@crankbait1]

You should make the beginning of your videos into shorts

[@Woohoojin]

My general motto is to only post content that I personally would've watched when I was a lower rated player. I don't consume short form content so I don't post it. You can interpret this however you'd like but personally I feel that this is a highly effective approach for targeting viewers from a tight, high quality demographic.

i finally hit gold following your guide and have no idea who to play from here on - i like fragging but all of the duellists seem repetitive to me do you have any recommendations

[@Michael-qp7gq]

If you want to play entry but like having a non linear play style, I’d say Raze. Requires a lot of work in the Custom games though, working on double satchels and routing. Personally, I play Jett (and Neon on Fracture) because it’s much easier to learn. I also agree with my fellow student above me that flash initiator is a great one- you’re usually taking first contact and are second on site, trading your duelist. In a somewhat ideal world, you’d be topping the leaderboard every game.

[@julliferjosephtuba2202]

Play Yoru. Still a duelist, but you want to learn some lineups for tp and flashes. Also plays kind of like an initiator at times, with his pop flash and info gathering with the ult.

[@wolfsign9168]

on the sage discussion. I would clear that angle probably 70% of the time if it was a 3v4 where they late rotated like this. Esp with a cypher on enemy team. But even then i think the lurk can deff win that more often than not. there is a dip in the ground there and you literally never fight here so ive died before because my crosshair is too high and the ground dips. Which maybe a radiant player would know but its such an odd place that id say at the very least in low-mid ranks the lurk should win almost every time

[@AustinCapron]

36:40 what if they hit you in the first close swing do you still swing wide even tho your movement is slowed because you’ve been tagged and they’re expecting you to swing again at that point after being tagged

[@Caanan20]

I firmly believe that if you can hit Challenger in League of Legends, you can hit High Elo in ANY game that is competitive. Not because you are just a prodigy for hitting chal or anything but because league requires SO much introspection and self-dissection to realize your mistakes, hone your strengths, adapt to constantly and quickly changing game states, and have good reflexes for high level plays. Basically, I think all the boxes that make a great video game player in any genre are checked in league of legends.

[@xtsflame8207]

@@vkodiyattu internet delay. Peeker momentum, crosshair placement, etc. Simply put, it's easier to aim in advanced and shoot them once they reach your crosshair versus tracking them then shooting, there is less room for mechanical error.

Could you give us the best aim labs training for players in silver/gold?

[@luzace154]

Could you make a video explaining the mini map mode and crosshair mode in further detail?

[@SYLin-rs8ob]

I think it's explained somewhat in the minimap refrag video, but basically, if you dont have a reason to look at your crosshair you should look at your minimap. Times to look at crosshair: - when you're the entry - when you're holding an angle that the enemy can peek - when you're actively fighting :P Times to look at minimap: - when you aren't the entry/first contact (ie when you are the one who is looking to refrag/trade) - when you're jumpspotting - when rotating through safe space - anytime the enemy has no way to shoot you (like when fns was in halls, or when you are tucked looking to trade a teammate)

[@luzace154]

Alright tysm

[@SYLin-rs8ob]

Oh yea i forgot, you should also look at your minimap when reloading, which itself is derived from the inference that you should never reload when there is a threat.
