As you rank up past Ascendant i think it's important to start thinking about an exit strategy back into the real world. How to talk to mature adults, how to walk in the mountains etc. have fun!

I'm gold and I definitely feel you with the ''get comfortable with the gunfights to free up mental space for other things.'' My gunfights are pretty okay in the dms but when I go ranked I get dizzy insanely fast and it makes me lose a lot of gunfights that I would have won if I was not distracted by all the other stuff going on in my head.

[@autumnleaves3012]

when you play ranked be kind to yourself, if you die in a gunfight try to think about what went wrong in it. another part of mentality is being positive in vc, i know it seems silly but most ppl i meet in game are super chill and it helps take the edge off.

I find in Silver that there's advanced theory play with suboptimal gunplay. I can fake, lurk, default, count util, track where players should be, predict how the enemy plays, but I can't always shoot or react to it. Practicing my aim and mechanical tech is where I lack.

It's important to take these as general guidelines, rather than an actual rank accurate assessment. For me I know that even tho I was diamond, my aim was dogshit and working on it for two weeks got me to Ascendant. I still need improvement as a 0.9kd Reyna player 😭😭

[@kitsva_]

when i was in gold, i match mvpd every single game, i had a 1.5 kd, 31% hs, and i would always lose more rr than i gained, i simply couldn't get out, i mad e anew account got placed a little higher than my rank, but still match mvpd all my placements every game but one, nd climbed my way to immo1 in that season, i think if you have most of these things down and you still arent climbing and losing to much, just make a new account.

[@bespoke555]

Immortal player here. Love these kind of vids. However, I think to say that you should only start to learn how to default in Immortal + is not correct. That's something you should be learning in Diamond minimum and as you climb higher like in Ascendant, you start to apply those strategies more consistently and effectively. That's part of what got me to Immortal personally.

We need a guide from you on picking a main role or agent. I've been struggling to figure out what agent/role I'm good at. Sometimes I'm able to carry on a certain agent and other times I get owned. If you could explain a bit on general playstyles, and what type of a player suites what role kinda thing it would be helpful. Plus there are not good videos on this topic except charla7an's video, where he just explains his opinion on "what agents will help you improve fastest" kinda thing.

[@dariusxxo]

you will never genuinely just instantly be good at an agent and find an agent perfectly suited and intuitive for you. in my opinion it’s best to play a role that already somewhat fits your playstyle and a role you find ENJOYABLE. if you enjoy it you’ll be much more motivated to improve

I didnt play this game for years started to play ranked on the hard reset and got placed into diamond 1, went on a 12 winstreak solo que everygame my teammates where just smarter and knew how to hold angles and get info. Got to ascendant 3 80rr and then lost 6 in a row every game i had 1 or 2 teamates afk for the first 3 or 4 rounds, had teammates who said im going to make sure we lose then throw. I think its all good with improving your own mechanics and gameplay but it still doesnt stop any losses that you will get from the coin flip. Iv had consistently immortal 2s and 3s go 2 and 20 in these games and have no knowledge of what you expect that rank to have. Which just says to me ranked means nothing i dont think there is any difference between any of these levels maybe at radiant and most imm 3 players but everything else under is just a huge coinflip and no major difference in the skill gap

[@randomfellow1483]

Thing is, I'm hardstuck between plat 2 and plat 3, always ranking up and deranking and I cant really know why. Sometimes I get immo smurfs but I dont try to blame it on them since I cant do anything about it (even though it is a major problem in many video games including valorant) I've watched hundreds of videos on valorant trying to improve but there is just this one root cause which I'm clueless about. I guess it has something to do with my weakness/vulnerability which I need to fix ASAP.

[@4twenny]

do you have valoplant? check your valoplant and see whats wrong, what decisions you made are resulting in the lost rounds and where are you taking your 1v1s. there are "favourable" 1v1s and "nonfavourable" 1v1s, meaning there are specific 1v1s that you would win 60~80% of the time, and there are 1v1s that you are lucky that you even won it. understanding that would shoot you up directly to middle of imt 2

If it’s 1s, you probably have bad aim, lack confidence, or have bad positioning/movement. You should try and figure out which one it is and try to fix it

if you want to play more casually, queue any other game mode. people play competitive to actually get good and push their limits. some of them get stuck sometimes, so they need an advice how to improve. and yes, some people have fun playing competitively, they enjoy the feeling of victory. if you don't want people to expect anything from you, why won't you exclusively play swiftplay then? since ranked is such a stress.
