Information is key in this game, it's fast paced and people are hungry for kills but if you have a flash you can also opt to use it to gather info safely. I've thrown reyna flash or phoenix flash out and quickly jiggle peaked just to see if anyone is there, if I see multiple people then I fall back and tell my team to rotate. If I opted to flash and wide swing, I'd get instantly killed and they'd walk on site for free potentially killing the 2nd person there, immediately making it a 5v3. It's a team shooter, not a solo kill glory gun game. People complain about having the highest KD and still losing when they don't use comms properly, they bait their team mates, and position themselves terribly. Always tell yourself you could've played a certain situation better, don't flame team mates (even the braindead ones) and you'll immediately have better results.
People like me always think about reaction speed, aim stablity, crosshair placement. Not realizing simple movements like these can be a huge game changer.
@@aidangeorge7012 now I get what you're saying, but rephrasing it to "but reaction time is mostly genetic" is better because saying "the rest is genetic" sounds like you're referring to the rest of the things the first guy mentioned like aim stability and crosshair placement
@@Bumpaah @kobraz so should I take "piece of the pie" and peek angle in portions? and also I don't fully understand what he should have done instead of walk peeking.
so Valorant is my first PC shooter and I'm 33. I've worked my way from iron 1 to Plat 2. Now I'm at a point where my aim isn't really improving but my game sense is. If someone was to start playing basketball at 33 I would say there is no way you make it into the top 2% of basketball players because you started to late in life. Do you think its possible to start gaming too late? Or do you think practice can get an old gamer to radiant?
I personally don’t see any reason you couldn’t get to radiant, reaction time and mechanics wise it’s not like you’re actually gonna be handicapped that hard. The main problem with older guys playing games is their inability to learn and improve. Keep at it homie
With the new ranking system, I'd say you definitely can rank up to radiant, considering now is easier to rank up by supporting your team instead of top fragging only.
Hiko and seangares are 31 and still dominate. But they have been in the fps genre for decades. And they played it at professional level. Stats prove older people learn way slower than younger people in everything new in life. This doesn't mean you can't achieve what you want. Gaming is a mental game not a physical game. As long as you have moving hands and fingers and you are not blind / deaf, you can still achieve big things in the gaming world.
@@nsMfps the problem is that the problem this person is facing right now is that it's their first fps games. Hiko and seangeares dominate because they were old cs legends
Such an amazing explanation! You've literally helped me understand why do I always bottom-frag, and it was exactly because of the three mistakes you covered here. You earned a sub!
play csgo and come back to valorant in my honest opinion, valorant is too much on individual skill unlike cs where you can rely on good smoke flash lineups and smart plays The map design and agent gameplay in Valorant is forcing you to use utility to clear angles and it's so hard to do that in low ranks because you can't pick every character like breach for flashing Sentinel for defence ect... in csgo it's simpler and your aim will improve
@@djibrilr6s I started out on valorant, then moved to csgo after. I think valorant is a fine game to learn tactical FPS skills. You’re saying “you can rely on good smoke flash lineups” which is essentially just the same thing as using an ability. Difference being though, that valorant doesn’t require as many lineups as cs does. And while not every agent has a flash/smoke, every agent does have a piece of utility that can be used to aid in clearing angles
Amazing video. I am hard stuck plat and have been struggling to work on my positioning/movement. I know not to expose myself to multiple angles but I've been fixating on just not being exposed to multiple different spots that the enemy could be (AKA since i'm not exposed to spawn or back site and only exposed to garage, I should be safe... basically I've been stupidly playing as if there can only be one enemy in one spot. I didn't realize I should be clearing one angle at a time in even in one spot alone like that haven garage example. I should really be exposing myself to under window first, clear that, then focus on the right side of garage. Thanks for this. You have made this braindead plat player a little less dumb.
Very good to see a visual representation of how to have better movement. I have been really concerned with using A and D more and using W less, but not so much thinking about the other important details. Very enlightening video!
Great video! I know you're not interested in coaching but I'd love to see more of your stuff. It's more useful than almost any other VOD review I've seen - you pare clips down to instructive moments, highlight what went wrong, and also give illustrations if not concrete examples on how to do better. I'm iron 2 and just starting to figure out what I'm even *trying* to do in this game, it's a lot of fun! In one of your VOD reviews you comment that the player insta-crouches, and here you're definitely crouching for recoil control. I'd love to see a video where you break down your recoil control versus low level recoil control!
Great vid! Definitely a huge help to me and to average players who are stuck in gold lobbies. I always wonder why the movement of csgo players are so fluid and smooth in valo. Thank you for this.
Great video, these kind of videos are a lot more helpful then simple agent tips and tricks. The fundamentals of tactical shooting. Please do more videos like this with in-game examples. This video immediately made me a better player! Subscribed!
Also look at the reloading timing, Bumpahh only reloads when he is safe and runs out of bullets or almost runs out, when you are playing a phantom w 30 bulelts you dont need to reload when you r at 20, or w the vandal when ur at even 15, only 4-5 bullets needed to kill if you don't dink.
hey bumpaah! this helped me realize i swing too wide and don't prioritize info gathering enough in game and ive been able to survive longer bc of it, thank you for the advice!
You verbalized good movement perfectly. The whole objective is to peek 1 person at a time or to clear enough angles so you can peek freely. Rly good vid
First vid of yours Ive seen and I learned so much. Ive been plat 1 for a while and I really think videos like this will help. Keep it up man worth a sub
really enjoy this vod review content learn a ton tho im a new to the game world but i improve a lot bc of watching studying and doin it, it become my second nature now
thank you soo much bro, i was hard stuck in gold 3, like episode 1 act 2 and 3 all gold, litterly no plat, then i found this, then i always remember your vid when im playing Valorant, now im plat 2 in ONLY 2 DAYS , what i learn is crosshair placement, prefire, check every corner, not swinging too much when peek,and now i always get 20+ kills in plat. thank tou
This is legit like the first really high quality educational content that I’ve seen for gunplay in Valorant that actually goes beyond “just counterstrafe 4head”. Really excited to check out more of your stuff :)
One of the biggest problems.. that I see, even with myself, is that I get multiple kills in a round.. 3k, 4k even an ace sometimes. But the problem is that because I got that much kills, I think I played it well. That's not the case, most of the time you just get lucky or have that adrenaline that makes you flick faster and more accurate. But you don't have to do that when you havr the mechanics that Bumpaah or most radiants are showing. So just because you got 2k or 3k when peeking an angle, maybe you did have good movements and mechanics there, but for me, I replay my clips and I realize that if I hadn't been so lucky, people would've easily killed me from the angles that I should be easily killed in. Specially when enemy team whiffs, that's not skill, that just means the enemy team whiffed.
Hey I know this is an old comment but I just want to ask for an update on how hood you are at valorant now if you still play at all ? Have you improved over the 7 months noticeably ?
Dude I got 6000 hours in csgo. I stopped gaming for a year due to having a baby. But now she’s getting older I’ve had some more time (and covid lock downs) I’ve come back gaming and took up valorant! I found it kinda easy to just out aim people up until I hit plat 3 and then I stated loosing ALOT! I got stuck in abit of a rut of and frustrated I could just stomp and started bottoming and deranking. But, After watching this it refreshed my brain of what I’m ment to do again. I stopped wide peeking and pushing everything And I started winning again. So thankyou!
I really needed this, kindof hardstuck diamond and looking what can i improve to make a difference from plats/diamonds to immortals. Movement has always been weak side of me and this will hopefully help.
Another tip is you could use left handed view. It wont change much but itll help you swing less especially against people who have the right hand angle on you.
I'm a Diamond player and I never knew about this, I mean I check corners as narrow as possible, but I didn't know it could affect my gameplay that much Thank you so much, now I can practice and stop being a hard stuck
i totally dont agree with the 1st and 2nd scenario considered as a mistake, wide peeking with a flash is reasonable. there's no point wasting time checking angle by angle if they are flashed, and if the opponent is holding on a tight angle he can easily back off or even prefire the angle u so call need to be checked. and what u mean by unlucky if there are 5 people, he should be lucky if 5 people are there eating his flash
u can still get shot though even if they can't see, any phoenix main must know the pain of peeking after a successful flash only to get blind headshotted. Especially against multiple enemies, it increases the odds of taking damage
I think it would be good that you personally reenacted the play he did to show how you would do it. That way we can compare the 2 scenarios better I feel
Hey nice video. Quick question. Why is it better to wideswing in a 1v1 as opposed to narrow peeking? Do you think this would change relative to ranks? Thanks.
If you know their position for SURE it's good to wideswing because a wideswinging opponent is one of the hardest shots to hit in the game cause of how fast the character model is moving
people usually prefire the angle they expect the phoenix will swing from after flashing; is the first clip really a good example to use to explain movement/peeking? imo you either swing wide, jiggle or jump out with the flash
watching this during online school and learned more from this than my french class
Your French teacher is probably trash at Valorant
Stay in school kids
That is literally what I’m doing right now lmao
Turn on French subtitles and it’s a win win

you can't improve reaction speed more than a few percent. The rest is genetic

@@aidangeorge7012 and we have similar names
so the lesson is: don't wide swing without info, and clear angles before doing so... is that correct?
And also don’t walk peek because it’s easier for the enemy player to kill you.
AND ALSO try to isolate angles by moving to specific places so you can create 1v1s
Also make sure you’re peeking using A & D only, forward momentum makes you an easier target
@@Bumpaah true many players who are mostly not from cs make this mistake

i totally dont agree with the 1st and 2nd scenario considered as a mistake, wide peeking with a flash is reasonable. there's no point wasting time checking angle by angle if they are flashed, and if the opponent is holding on a tight angle he can easily back off or even prefire the angle u so call need to be checked. and what u mean by unlucky if there are 5 people, he should be lucky if 5 people are there eating his flash
u can still get shot though even if they can't see, any phoenix main must know the pain of peeking after a successful flash only to get blind headshotted. Especially against multiple enemies, it increases the odds of taking damage
Learned a lot. Thanks bump
Very informative, thank you Mr.Bump

Thank you for sharing your knowledge man.
ty for this important information. Literally learned something I didn't notice..
great content, thanks bump
wide peak actually lowers reaction time because you have to stop moving and shoot so managing peak is actually really important.
people usually prefire the angle they expect the phoenix will swing from after flashing; is the first clip really a good example to use to explain movement/peeking? imo you either swing wide, jiggle or jump out with the flash
great video man, really helpful
This helped me so muchhhh!
