Defense is actually a pretty serious thing. The game doesn't end if they enter the site. Don't try to take 2 or 3 with you. Just TRY to kill one and reposition. I have shitty aim compared to my friends but I just play a lot with positioning and information
Honestly this video is a guideline for the next videos you should do lol -Taking places correctly one each maps in defense and offense for each maps (each map it's own video and maybe each side it's video too) -Spots for Molotov's, Poison Gas, Sage walls... -Fall back routes on each maps
Could you also analyse top level gameplay? To make these videos more useful for the "better" players? I've watched most of your videos but haven't learned that much yet :D. Keep it up!

I had been looking for some good guides for this game and this is definitely the best one I've found. You actually go into game and show and explain mechanics. Most of what I've seen is people commentating on pro player footage or their own stream footage and calling it a guide. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Great tips! I played CS Source (Cal-M) way back in the day (10 years ago?) and recently started playing Valorant. Watched a few of my clips and realized my head shot placement was way lower than it should be. These tips may seem simple or many think they "know it already", but they're good reminders and good refreshers for even experienced players!
Coming straight from Overwatch into Valorant with no prior experience in ANY competitive shooter, this was actually really informal. I kinda wanna make a ranked progress report after a few weeks of writing this comment, so as of now I am currently Iron II.
this helps. Im always for some reason having so many deaths, even though i almost always top frag. Its demotivating being in a deathmatch having 37 deaths when noone else has over 30
I think my biggest flaw is shooting blanks in the game, like I shoot and it goes straight through them, or the marshal and other weapons literally don’t register headshots like ever, and they’re not crouching, it just straight up says their heads are their torso.
I do wanna say, one difference that does not translate from csgo is the idea of playing for retakes. If you give up site and the enemy team still has a majority of utility, you've lost. Even if you die, sometimes going for the 1v1 and trying to stall or killing their brim/sage is more valuable than just playing your life. Too many times I just see people leave because a team is rushing because theyre afraid of dying. Dying doesn't necessarily mean you did something wrong, context matters and that just takes time to read a situation when you should play for retake of force a gunfight.
Fax they would give up site rather than to trade or risk doing damage Bc they are scared they will die. Or at least in lower ranks it’s seen. It’s easy to retake knowing that the enemy wasted a utility especially if a sage heals someone at 70 or above. Or if they ult you etc
I think my biggest problems are wide peaking (especially whenever I flash someone as Phoenix) and crosshair placement later in the game. It always seems like I’m hitting nice pre fires and jiggle peak 1 taps the first half but the second my performance is way worse and I get lazy with crosshair placement
this might sound like an excuse, but everytime i try to pick someone, i always get headshotted, then i realised that it's because i always crouch to get more precision, this leads to people headshotting me because they are always aiming at the chest lol
I'm a noob and I often aim at the chest, because I don't have good placement. I've seen a specific tip about this - noobs will headshot you if you're crouching to avoid headshots XD
my biggest problem is not aiming at people’s head. my cross hair placement is good, so is my aim, but i always end up shooting their body. even if my cross hair placement lands on someone’s head, i still flick to their body
I might sound like I'm just complaining, but I mostly doe because of my team. Most of the time I have to hold off a site by myself at the beginning of every round and my team round around wanting kills, I give them the call for help, but instead they wait to become last and get the most kills. Same with attack, I always have to go first because the team are too afraid to go, i get one to two kills when entering and I fall back, but my team are hiding behind me hoping that they get easy picks by camping. Most of the teammates that I receive just hide in corners getting kills, the enemy team also does this to me by hiding in corners. My teammates are usually bots but hide and get free kills. I think this game rewards better angles rather than aim, but maybe I'm just tilted from losing and dying.
what? i have 1.7k, was global, stopped playing for 3 years, got back 2 month ago, got dmg and then valorant came out. um Plat 1 and i can see myself in diamond/plat3
@@stephanesilvaa i have around 2k in csgo as well and im only around mg, but that's most likely because im not really trying to improve and just playing for fun
I don't know what it was, but I usually am a 10-17 kda player...I just went 20-5-4 Mainly I think it was the tip about not floating, but I love your tip about the head-height markers. Thank you! Iron 2 here I come! lol
I'm going to probably trigger a lot of people here: but imho the footstep and reload radius is *too* large in Valorant. I mean it's already a lot slower than the game it takes so much inspiration from in terms of movement, but this basically makes it so that you're either shift-walking the entire match or being tracked through walls halfway across the map due to how easily the footsteps are heard.
In order to counter tilting, I analyze what I did, what I missed, and what I should have done. So basically I just go, "Ok...note to self. Next round, *insert what I should or not do*."
My team is playing attack on defence, and play defence on attack...i have been using team comms but nobody will listen to u unless u had insane kda... all i want is them to cover angle instead of finding kills n not stupidly walk over enemies' crosshair...
My main problem is i always try to do hero plays, when my team and the enemy team is bad i drop 30+, when my team or the enemy team is good i do ass. and i pick the fragger characters so when i do bad i have no utility poggers
anyone know of a discord server for valorant where I can send videos for VOD reviews? Cause idk why, but I play a match (actually like 6) of valorant, and I do shit, play cs and I carry 47-4 in comp... I play the same way in val as in cs, don't know whats wrong
Crosshair placement and sounds helped me a lot since those days of CSGO. Some people call me "hacker" because I get 3-4 headshots consecutive headshots... 🤦🏻♂️ They didn't crouch and ran towards the bombsite, of course I can hear them and prepare myself... 😂😂😂
I have bad reaction times. I see someone so then I have to process that they are there, aim, and shoot and they somehow kill me instantly. I also get shot through walls somehow, even though walls are for cover. They might be hacking.
Most squares are possible to penetrate. It's called wallbang. Check that out. Most of the time they kill you instantly is because they have their crosshair pointing to your head/torso while you're still processing. It's about having good reflexes
My problem is I have a game when I have 36/16 and other team is calling me a cheater and the game after that I have 3/14 and my team is calling me a useless piece of shit
Devs, for the love of God. Add a “toggle” setting for walking. I’m used to that for when I played CS and I hate holding/pushing down keys for too long lol

Tip, You re dying because the enemy shoots you. To fix this, shoot the enemy first.

But still I die sometimes even if I shoot 1st😂

Thank you for addressing people who give away too much information. It seems as though nobody I play with walks during the initial move towards point.
Best guide so far. Just things that are not trivial. Perfect.
I need to train myself to aim for people's 5heads
What I do sometimes is only play ranked to force myself to improve and learn what I did wrong in situations where I died
@@xcherry3991 shooting range works best for me for a warmup. you can tweak the bots to make it really hard. especially when you make them move.

Best video on improving in valorant I have seen in a while

Especially the crosshair placement was really well explained/showed well in the video.

Can the enemy hear when you change from your knife to your weapon with the same range as reload?
Yeah reloading makes a decent noice.

right XD im from overwatch and standing still is hell

Yeah, if you're playing with the wrong headspace you're going to lose alot more than just 1 round
