First week of my new job down, thanks so much for hanging around guys been a wild past two weeks! Goal is to get 2 videos out a week so keep submitting those VODs in discord! And again, a big thanks to FlexiSpot for sponsoring the video, and definitly check them out if you are in the market for a new desk! ► amzn.to/3BrhTOk
Kinda confused on the comments on the pistol round, I understand he shouldn’t go sherrif with nothing else but after the first kill dismiss was perfect and then after they keep peaking into him I think even if he had another orb there’s no way he gets heal off as they all they keep peeking like that, I understand everything else but I don’t think the heal comment was necessary especially being in the position he was
And the fact you get 1 free orb makes it not half bad cause I doubt the second gets him much value there… maybe after the second kill he could’ve dismissed again but no way he gets a heal off
Hey, I’ve got a suggestion for you. I think it would be better to have the stars of the round on the screen after the round finishes, that way we, the viewers don’t know if it’s going to be a bad round or a good one. Just my opinion though, but I think it would be smart.
I don't know if this is the first time you've done this, but rating individual rounds on a scale of 1 to 5 is awesome. It really helps to understand that, even if you're having a good game, not every aspect of that game was good. Anyways, sick VOD review, and I'm glad to see you posting again!
This is my second time doing it. This is part of me trying to "step" my content up and make it a bit more engaging and high quality. The on-screen tips + round ratings I think really help with that, and I'm so glad you think so because it takes considerably more time to edit!
@@Dragonmar The effort is easily noticeable. Props to both you and the work you produce, it’s top notch stuff. Don’t know if you came to Val from CS or another game, but I could really see your channel turning into Valorant’s version of Voo, another massive content creator who also does VoD reviews and in-depth lessons/technical videos.
That’s literally me, I do good but then I realize I make 1-2 mistakes per round I would say the mistakes this Reyna makes are close to the mistakes I’m doing
I like this format you are doing with the stars, it's easy to follow what plays are good and bad. It definitely makes things easier to learn, keep up the good work and love the content.
19:55 round 18. Very good round analysis. Perfect example of thinking maybe you did well that round because you got 2 kills, but ultimately played poorly in the end because not playing off teammates well in the 3v2.
P3 myself so I’m fucking hyped for this, less goo dragonmar back at it with perfect timing. Attempting to make a run to mid diamond so keep pumping these out!
Wow ya know one thing that struck out to me Dragonmar was the "guarding weapons". That make so much sense for games that Im honestly surprised I never considered that till now.
@@helix3564 Most of the time when the other team is on a save and gets a kill on a player with a rifle/higher value weapon/has a high value weapon you are gonna want to guard that weapon because 9 times outta 10 a person is gonna try to grab it so if youre watching it you can kill them while they try to go for it
@@zzemain Good ol baiting, i guess it's for high elo. Here in iron gang, mostly believe in Ares Supermacy, even if it's a vandal, Operator, phantom on ground they will still go for Ares unless it's a premium skin. 🐸
I want to add one thing to your rule about sage walls: keep spraying even after the wall is broken. I can't even tell you how many "lucky" kills I get from people either standing/defusing directly behind it, or trying to peek as soon as it breaks.
Dragonmar thanks for these videos! These are by far the best guides on RUclips for this game. They are generally all encompassing and very concise to show what you should be thinking while playing. Most other guides come off as too basic and end up just being an ad for some rank up service. Thanks for making them they have helped me immensely.
This is the best vod review channel I have personally seen the star system is amazing and the mistakes I saw in this video are the same things I’m doing so this is rly helpful and if gonna help me push out of my current tank thank u sm keep up the good work
First video ive seen from your channel. Great video man, as a newish player ive learned a lot about rotations and positioning and how to see your mistakes even when doing good.
I've watched a lot of merked's videos recently bc I've been looking for pointers in gameplay, did barely get any tips of substance from his vids imo n now I found this vid which actually goes deep with pointers and looking at every single round from a VOD, keep it up✊
Great video! I haven’t really played valorant seriously since right at launch so seeing higher levels than unrated play is always interesting for me, lots to learn. Also this vods all chat is extremely typical of gamers tbh, dude with a hate username, slurs, shit talking, it’s like I’m right back in a halo 3 lobby.
I like this video, one thing I do have to say though is I like buying a sheriff pistol round on Reyna. You do get one devour for free, and I feel like it kind of just embodies her role. It probably makes more sense on Jett so you can keep it on Round 2 to save up your eco, I think it’s excusable on Reyna as well, you can probably just give it up to someone else on round 2 or maybe keep it if everyone else buys.
At, 12:18 (last rnd of half), I feel like Reyna leered too high and couldn't blind the Sage. My noob diamond self would have leered the floor, which I think would have been the better play. Thoughts?
this is so true! i reached diamond 2 not because of my aim cus my aim is not that great!! but let me tell you this, GAME SENSE is everything! and also communication is key, you can have the worst aim in the world, but if you cant communicate you WILL lose. That's why i love playing as a support player, you UNDERSTAND and ur game sense gets better, because you HAVE TO. little advice, NEVER rage or get tilted when playing rank, always have composure and stay calm at all times, these will win you more games. and dont care about losing! always tell yourself that you learned something from the prev losing matches. If you're hardstuck it literally means thats your elo, because rank will come to you.
5:49 why not dismiss out of the smoke just for info and fall back...even if someone chases you there's always a trade from the guys behind right. That's something I do very often just jiggle out of smokes with dismiss just to know what's ahead and fall back even if no one is there..and enemies dont punish it a lot too ( but idk I am gold 3 idk if plats punish those)
Great job on the videos and the commentary, but i also love your written tips so if you can make them a bit slower, U should keep them on the screen for just a bit longer and its perfect
Hey Kyle, I've seen a lot of your videos and they've helped me on my journey from a hardstuck plat to Immortal. But I'm kinda stuck in a rut now. I do perform really well in Diamond lobbies but as soon as I play in a full immortal lobby, I just can't get any impact frags. Would be a great help for me and a lot of people out there if you put out a video tutorial(s) dedicated on how to improve after reaching immortal and push for Radiant as there are not many videos regarding this specific topic out there.
Thanks for doing these! Level 435, spending a lot of time playing, but not seeing improvement. Currently G1, peaked G2. I’ll record some gameplay today, and hop on the discord, I know I need help with aim, and movement but I’m not quite sure what else I could do better…
You can feel free to toss your VOD into the vod request channel or just ask some questions in chat. Of course, I can't promise i'll get to your VOD but someone else may be able to help!
Yep love the star rating, will be watching every episode please upload more, (not trying to flex here) but even as an immortal player I can learn sm from this so thank you
hey dragonmar, i do my best with almost an hour of aim training before i play and i always get the first shots. idk how to get better anymore please help
When I get my new computer I will submit a box for review, I’m gold 1-3 but I beat my imma friends in the aim duels, former Global elite but have fallen off a ton
Hey, I watched a lot of your videos and they really help me getting better. There is just one thing I would think would be really cool, since I didn't find anything like that on your chanel, how about you do something like a checklist what to do and what to learn before starting ranked. So you don't explain in detail, just some checkmarks where you just talk little bit about those checkmarks so people can be sure to do and learn the most important things before actually starting ranked. And if you have done something like that and I just couldn't find that then I am sorry ^^ But still great videos man.
i have noticed that i play a lot like this reyna as a reyna player myself though im bronze still (not saying i deserve plat i know i dont) but i think i am improving
I think you should put your star rating at the end of the round instead of having it displayed before each round. I kinda knew how the round was gonna go before it started. Otherwise great video as always
You probably not going to see this comment which is fine but I wanted you to know is that you help a lot of ppl and you are super underrated one day y’all get you fem
Its has been 2-3 months for me Play Valorant , I havent unlocked reyna but I learnt so much from the video. RUclips is great, I learned every espect of My first FPS game here and Its going good. Today in a spike rush I clutched 2 rounds and the enemy team accused me of cheating 😂😂😂
What if there was a game in which u were the difference maker but it took so long that towards the end you stop being focused or you get tired and you start not getting the same impactful kills causing you to loose the game. What do I do then? Is that my fault? How can I improve it? Or fix it?
I buy phantoms second round if I’m on defense, because I can hold the right angles and won’t die from someone sitting in a corner. Buying phantoms on attack are usually to risky imo
@@buzzyz7234 I have a love and hate relationship with the phantom, sometimes its the greatest gun of all time, and others i’ll hit someone for 124 and i die a little inside.
Really love the vid :). I don't like the star rating system so much as I feel like it just eats up air time that could have been used with analysis; we can see when they peek and are looking at the ground it's bad, we just need to talk about why it might have happened and what can be done. Love your videos though it's great to see you posting :D

@@Dragonmar wow you have improved this series to another level with your rating system and extra on screen tips! keep up the great work!
The new content is amazing
@@Dragonmar maybe posting the game average star rating at the vod rev summary would be a good synthesis of that data?
That’s literally me, I do good but then I realize I make 1-2 mistakes per round
I would say the mistakes this Reyna makes are close to the mistakes I’m doing
Yeah and the mistakes are small things but they do add up overtime and really impact your growth!

Bro are u joking no matter where they are thel blind u and higher means they have to adjust there cros hair placement to shoot it
Wasn’t too high, it was too close to Sage. Remember Reyna’s “blind” isn’t a true blind, it’s a nearsighted.

What applications are good for recording games?

I swear I just saw a vid with a Reyna named Mikey on split getting coached by merked
This guy is the LS of Valorant
Really love the vid :). I don't like the star rating system so much as I feel like it just eats up air time that could have been used with analysis; we can see when they peek and are looking at the ground it's bad, we just need to talk about why it might have happened and what can be done.
