Most games what seems to happen is I play really good in one half, but then really bad in the other, do you have any tips for this, btw it isnt specifically on defense or attack, or on specific agents, it just seems like I can't play consistently throughout a match, e.g. I dropped 20 kills on the first half and ace clutched a round, but then the next half I only get like 7 kills, even with 6 rounds of overtime
@@matthewdowney-simpson8983 Many people have games like that and sometimes you cant avoid it. However to be more consistent you should practice multiple agent set ups/plays for each map (on both attack and defense). Also if you are constantly switching up the agents you play it will be harder to perform consistently.
This video is perfect. I feel like everything he says is right to the point, and the video is really just perfect for ranking up. He makes everything clear and concise, as well as the tips he gives are really true also. Great job man, keep up the great guides.
All of this is amazing advice. Ironically I've recently figured out everything you've mentioned and feel myself approving little by little. Especially the alt account part. So much stress off your shoulders when you really don't care if you win or lose the game, but just focus on improving yourself
Holy gigachad this mans even made a Notion template, you have my respect. Also, while no guide can be perfectly comprehensive, this is one of the top youtube guides out there and unique in its depth covering habits, comms, and discipline. Great job!
One of the very few useful Valorant tips video on RUclips. Many people watch hours of YT tutorials and end up being overwhelmed by the amount of informations. Everyone knows about improving aim. But noone really pays close attention to the tips you mentioned. You phrased it in a compact and clear way with simple examples. This video is def in the top 3 Valorant YT guides a person will ever need.
1) Discipline Necessary and Unnecessary gunfights Necessary: - a) Entry Frag (Attackers) b) Protect planter c) Down numbers (Post-plant) Unnecessary: - a) Post plant Aggression (better to hold key positions) b) Pushing out for kills when multiple attackers are approaching the site c) Greedy Peeks (e.g. at an advantage or 3v3) 2) Playing when you are physically or mentally deprived
This is, hands down, the best tips video I've ever seen for Valorant my entire life. What sets this one apart from other people videos is that, the user actually came from low elo himself and understand what goes into the mind of one. If you notice from other videos, they'll immediately point out what you should and should not do, without really understanding why a low elo player did it in the first place. Instead of just saying "warm up before queueing", this video says why you're doing it and when to stop. Other just says, "do x number of DM". Job well done!
Thank you! Worked hard to make this one (including actually getting to immortal). I tried to make the video engaging and say tips that most people do not mention. Glad you enjoyed!
i've been having a hard time getting control of myself ever since i dropped from Immortal 3 and after watching your video i realized what got me there in the first place, discipline and patients. This was a great video and i feeel like i just got a mental reset and better look at what kind of player i am. Thanks Man, keep up the good work
These are the comments that I make videos for ❤️. I’m glad my video helped you out and you definitely can get back to imm 3 if not radiant. Stay positive and keep up the good work!
oh my god this video is amazing. As a growing player who started val as my very first fps and have had to learn everything from scratch through guides and constant practice and evaluation, there's a lot of holes I know I have in my gameplay but couldn't exactly pinpoint it. This video really helps me catch all of that, thank you so so much.
I like everything about this video for example don't take unnecessary fights, play of your teammate and comm. The thing about comms that may be annoying especially for me is when all my teammates are dead I personally don't want them to say a single word so I can clutch on the other hand I think it's also good for teammates who are dead to comm whether you should reload or not etc.(exactly what you aaid in the video). Other than that the video was awesome!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yea some people have different preferences. However as you go higher up you will notice a lot more callouts by your teammates even when they are dead. I can see how it can being annoying but if it can win rounds then I don’t mind.
The first tip is really good advice! Too many people on diamond - even up to high immortal play Valorant as if it's call of duty. Push on defender, push afterplant and for some reason sit in spawn on attacker side, being scared of one enemy or a smoke. I don't agree with the second tip though: You want to call out DURING a fight. And pressing a mouse button while trying to aim with the same mouse is bad for your aim. Oh, and I don't want anyone telling me my bullet count while I am clutching a round, fully aware of my bullets :D
That's so true on the mentality part of not sleeping enough or feeling sluggish or hungry, I took a break off Valorant for a month and came back after a few weeks of Gekko's update, my aim was better and I manage to get decent shots than I did before, this surprises me because I thought I would perform even badly after taking a month off of it but I think it help boosted my focus and patience, before when I was Valorant grinding every week with my friends, I would be so tired and sluggish but I'm just pushing it through thinking like what you said, "We'll get better as the game goes on" But NOPE. Turns out I just needed a proper rest, some exercise and good food. Thanks for all the tips though, they're really good advice.
While I appreciate where this video is coming from, it feels like another video of “just do this and you’ll rank up.” Honestly, these are all things I know at this point from the many hours of watching coaching vods, and work 2-3 hours daily to implement. I’m kind of frustrated because two months and 100 in-game hours later I’m actually worse (I can prove it.) If anybody has a resource to help with getting someone unstuck I’d love to know
This video has helped me a lot and I’ve ranked up from iron 2 to bronze 3 in basically a week, but there’s one thing I’ve been struggling with is that whenever I try coming my team either says shut up squeaker or quit backseating, shut up ect.. I want to com but my teammates just make me not want to com
Super helpful vid. I'm trying to become more competitive after years of casual playing only, so I've got a lot of bad habits to break. This helps me get an idea of how to start.
I literally got out of hardstuck bronze before watching this and was only doing half of the things in this video... it works! It is not even in question that this is the best video to watch on how to rank up you covering EVERYTHING except for map knowledge thank you for the content keep it up!
Hey man, i just want to thank you so much. When i last watched this I was ranked bronze 1. But now I have ranked up to platinum!!! I also wanted to mention that when you said "you may have bad teamates disconnects or toxic team mates thats not the real reason you are not winning games" This is true and im kinda sick of seeing players just saying their tms are bad.
I have a friend who is in iron 2 and complains SO HARD about his teammates either being dookie booty or absolute trollers. I tell him its not all because of that, because whenever he queues with me, he backseat as well as plays dog. Seeing these has really cleared some things up for me so thanks for this vid!
Great I hope you and your friend will have an easier time ranking up! And remember, these tips are assuming you are practicing your aim. Good habits + good mechanics will help you rank up very fast.
Most players are just backseat gamers, and hardly people want to entry. I am tired of playing support, coz no one entries with me. Any agent suggestions(other than usual duelists getting instalocked).. to not depend on team?, Coz my teamates don;t listen to comms, 80% of my games. I am trying kayo, which is kinda relieving in entrying..but mostly luck factor games. Is yoru any better for solo q?
@@APerson-tk8cw Yoru probably isnt good for solo q. He is a duelist so most of the time your team comp will be jett reyna and then yoru cause of the insta locks. Try out omen. He is a hard agent to play properly tho. You will need to watch a lot of guides on how to play him and then watch streamer vods on how they play omen. Omen allows you to be passive and aggressive. His flash is great support util for executes. Hope this helps.
@@DreamWellYT Yeah, as long as I get ascent/haven/split, (i rarely get them idk why..), I do pick omen, as controller, since omen's mobility just helps a lot,, and a flash is best to blind them. Other than that, i try kayo mostly, coz idk any other agent which can have solo impact(maybe skye but teammates cry for heal, so i never unlocked the agent). I dont' get to play duelists coz of instalock, and i never get to instalock. Breach, i play only on fracture. instead of omen/kayo, since he's so good on that map... Is omen viable on pearl/icebox/fracture?, if yes, i will try omen on these maps too.
@@APerson-tk8cw omen is viable on those maps you just need to watch guides over how to play him properly for each map and learn some cool tp plays/one ways for each map.
Fantastic video, there's so many people who need to watch this video asap. The only thing I have issue with is the comms, but it's more of teammates thinking I'm backseating when I'm just reminding them of what util either a teammate or enemy has. It happens quite a bit.
Glad you enjoyed! Yea, when it comes to giving comms it’s important you say “we have…” to avoid coming across as a backseat gamer. In my experience I rarely have people think I am back seat gaming them (in any rank I’ve been in). Usually they understand I’m helping the team with relevant callouts. Also if you explain you logic behind the utility people may be more inclined to listen. Some times people will get annoyed. Just try to phrase your sentence in a way that does not come across like backseating. And what’s the worst that happens? Someone gets upset? Well that happens all the time, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
I need some agent for that..which doesn't have to depend on teammates at all, like controllers/sentinels., Duelists i can't pick coz they are anyways instalocked before i even reach agent select screen. I am trying kayo, which kinda helps in more solo impact, but dk if that's mostly luck. I can retake 1v3s, but its kinda hard when 1v5..
I know this video is kinda old, but thank you for putting communication in. Im currently struggling in diamond and find myself as the only person doing coms in a good bunch of my games and its annoying, its something that should be obvious but a lot of people don't do it for some reason
as somone who q with 2 or 4 friends, i usally get nervous, but your tip helped me to keep calm and have less cared mentally , thank you it helped me getting nevousness out of me ^_^
I’m happy to hear that! Keep up the good work and you’ll be chillin. Remember to have fun at the end of the day. Don’t let a ranked game ruin your day.
I dont know what to say more that i knew and learned the most things you said in the video, i still need to learn some things just by playing the game but I'm hardstuck Asc 1-2 (loose streak maked me rank down D3 (not only in 1 day, i stopped when i saw that but still loose streaks the other days)) I put so much efforts try my best in every game, for my mates same for me just to win, and being nice, and i dont believe saying "its not the true reasons you're hardstuck" about mates we got when an Immortal Smurf can't even always handle a game on hiw own and on a TEAM game Im literally training every single day, avoiding the SoloQ the most that i can cause its horrible in every elo, be coaching and reviewing by some friends or just higher ranks, and i guess its still a aim issue of myself, sometimes i can make a bad decisions of peeking etc ... like everyone, but the most of the time we loosing important rounds cause im loosing important 1v1 because of my aim that i dont know how to improve more because im trying and training with everything i could and dont know what to do more, and the fact that im not consistent idk why is even more frustrating than the rest Im watching so much videos like that to try to fix my problems (sometimes some people telling me tips differently, thats a bit weird too) but it still not a big differences idk what to do more, i can be so much good in 1 game and so bad the one after (i know the gameplay should be changed depend on the differents ennemy team) but, the fact that i cant do nothing to hold the win if im bad and my mates dont follow, is so frustrating
Asc1-3 is a very messy rank with a lot of skill disparities among teammates and a lot of griefers. Trust me I’m also having a hard time rn at asc 2. I’m doing solo q as a controller and some games are rough. As a matter of fact, I was watching one RUclipsr do a speed run to radiant (he was radiant before) recently and he was stuck in ascendant for a long while. Ranking out of ascendant takes time and a lot of games played. Another thing that can help you is learning to play a certain agents per map. This can increase your consistency in games because you are decreasing variables. Again don’t taking losing in asc too personally, many people (even radiant/high immo smurfs) will struggle to consistently win. Avoid tilt queue and play on your alt instead. Getting out of asc is possible, it just takes time. So stay positive, do not stop practice, and master your agents utility/positioning per map.
@@DreamWellYT That's why im trying to do, i have an agent i like to play for each role but duellists are so important; if you dont have 1 good duellist, its so hard to handle the game Im also whriting on Notes what agent im more confortable to play with on each map but my 1st coach told me recently : just perform on 1 agent you play well the most and instalocking in games etc ... And there's so many people telling me they ranking up fast so idk, for the time im playing and training every day and still be so hard like that and dont have a really good and constant aim, there would be so much people stronger than me with the time i got all doing this So im telling myself im not make for this and actually have a mentality to give up and cant stay positive :/
@@pictoract nah it’s a just a bad day of Val trust if you take a few days break from comp (do dm instead) you will get the itch to play again. A bad day of Val really messes with your mental. Don’t worry bro if you want to achieve immortal you can. You are close so don’t give up. Personally if you hs% is over 23% I don’t think aim is your biggest problem. And as for agents, you can play one agent if you want, no problem. You need to know all the set ups/lineups/plays you can do per map.
recently I have been getting more teammates where they just don't talk even when they have mic and when I give callouts they are like chill or calm down.
I went from immortal to hardstuck after a 2 year break, this video isn't just one of those kids who just hit immo or rad and thinks they are the best coach, this video explains it like no other and gives real tips instead of just common sense advice.
Amazing advice ! hope people follow trough. Immortal myself, and i live in europe. "Communication" is non-exsistant here. In my last 50 games, i've had 3 games where comms are normal cause it's denmark/sweden. Others is full CIS. Only way to get here is having 2kd and overaggression and continuely win fights. ASAP you start holding and playing " Nessescary" they lose B site. Tried playing like this and i lose 18 out of 20 games. I belive it works in any good atmosphere. But when u live in Scandinavia and u have 4 angry russians on your team 70% of the time you queue. Good luck with comms ^^
100% agree that it is much harder in not only lower elo but Europe/asia servers because people either speak different languages or are far more toxic. However, giving good comms doesn’t mean you need to receive good comms. I have played many games where no one else talks aside from me but I still manage to get the win because I am calling proper Strats or giving relevant callouts to help the team. Simply put just because others don’t talk doesn’t mean you don’t have to and it doesn’t mean your comms are not valuable. They have hidden impact. As for toxicity, I’d just mute them and then continue to give comms. As long as you don’t sound emotional others will stay less emotional. Also giving good comms is not the same as backseat gaming. If others complain you are backseating then learn how to phrase sentences that don’t come across as too bossy. Hope this was useful.
the best way to rank up is playing consistently. i was silver 1 for months, i started playing 2 games of competitive EVERY SINGLE DAY and hit gold in 8 days. ranking up is as simple as playing routinely
This is the correct tips to improve as a player . But in order to be the best I feel like you have to make the plays that would put your team at a disadvantage with the mindset that you are better then everyone in the lobby . Wining those gunfights will eventually make you successfuly consistent at making risky plays
I agree. The challenge is to learn the difference between discipline and confidence. You need to take 50-50 gunfights at times but you also need to know when you don’t need to take 50-50s.
Thank you! Yea I found that’s it’s my biggest problem. Knowing how to play for time and not throwing your numbers advantage will help you in every rank.
thank you for the tips. i ussually do most of them but i didn't know the reason that stucks me in bronze was taking unneccesary gun fights and spamming ranked matchs
In bronze you also need to work on how you take gunfights (check out my latest video). You need to be able to win 70-80% of 50-50 gunfights. That means you have to do a lot of practice in aim labs and in death match/range. No way around it other than hard work.
One more tip for you instalock duelists out there. If your'e going to dash into a site or rush in, TELL your teammates beforehand. Otherwise you're pushing a site with no trades, cover or util. The more well timed an execute is and the more well communicated it is, the higher your chance of catching the enemy off guard. The amount of times I've lost my chance to ascendant as a controller main because my duelists continuously flame teammates for not pushing with them is insane.
The big problem with these tips is, that everyone tells you to communicate, but in low elo you most of the time have mates that are muted or dont communicate at all
Yea, first of all in low elo, aim and mechnics should be your focus. Also in low elo, you should talk and communicate but dont expect comms back. Expect to be the only one talking but it does make an impact on the outcome of the game.
okay i think aim/mechanics after you reach like plat is probably 10% if not less of what people should be focusing on, everyones pretty much the same past that so it comes down to knowing when or when not to fight and good utility usage and game sense, which comes with time. you kinda just have to play more and if youre trying to improve then youll rank up. simple as that tbh (im asc2 for reference)
@4:34 omg is that metrokenshin. He's one of the best immortal gamers Ive ever seen. This guy must actually be in immortal elo. Holy fuck guys this guide is for real.
In lower elo, telling your teammates what util they hav will just make them mad and rage at you. They get mad at you for “stating the obvious” and tell you to stop “back seating”. Yet they never end up using the util
as a hardstuck bronze plaer i do think that people who say its there teams fault and deserve say radiatn or whatever it isnt true and that mindset will keep you hardstuck sure sometimes u get bad teamates but just as often the enemy has bad players as well and if you are good enough you would carry the team
Dang bro, thats a fire video! You didn't say anything i didnt know but how you said it and the analysis sheet are sick! Like from me my dude, really good tips!
I like making and analogy comparing FPS games to chess. Ask yourself what move should I do to gain an advantage? Is this sacrifice neccessary? How should I coordinate well? Play tactical shooters like you are playing chess. Evaluate your situation and decide on the best way to deal with it with everything in your arsenal and environement
3:20 I have PTT on the left ALT key right next to the space bar because this way I can easily reach it since my thumb is resting on the space bar anyways. I'm not using the scroll wheel for jumping and I bound the side mouse buttons to the E and Q abilities. Currently peak Plat2 btw and omw to Diamond.
I REALLY WANT TO RANK UP, AND THIS VIDEO IS REALLY HELPFUL. I AM JUST SO TIRED OF BEING THE IGL FOR A TEAM THAT WONT LISTEN TO ME. I AM IN A SLUMP AND I SEEM TO KEEP GETTING TROLLED OR SMURFED ON IN MY RANK UP GAME
the comms part is hard for me because im 14 and i still sound like an 8 year old so my teammates dont take me seriously and just bully me but the rest of the tips were really helpful tysm! i subbed and liked
Awesome! Another tip to avoid people becoming toxic is to not complain to the team and to sound objective instead of emotional. Most people won’t be toxic then. But of course there are many weirdos who still will be toxic.
I was doing most of these things when I was hardstuck silver, even before I saw this video, it took me a long time to realise what I had to do, and what I had to fix on my own. I've come to the same conclusions as this video tells us, and I've ranked up from silver 2 to diamond 2 in about 3 weeks after implementing all of these

Pog champ upload
Yessir
Always quality videos from dreamwell, keep it up my man
Appreciate it! This one definitely took a while to make.
I have a friend who is in iron 2 and complains SO HARD about his teammates either being dookie booty or absolute trollers. I tell him its not all because of that, because whenever he queues with me, he backseat as well as plays dog. Seeing these has really cleared some things up for me so thanks for this vid!
Great I hope you and your friend will have an easier time ranking up! And remember, these tips are assuming you are practicing your aim. Good habits + good mechanics will help you rank up very fast.
Most players are just backseat gamers, and hardly people want to entry.
I am tired of playing support, coz no one entries with me.
Any agent suggestions(other than usual duelists getting instalocked).. to not depend on team?, Coz my teamates don;t listen to comms, 80% of my games.
I am trying kayo, which is kinda relieving in entrying..but mostly luck factor games. Is yoru any better for solo q?
@@APerson-tk8cw Yoru probably isnt good for solo q. He is a duelist so most of the time your team comp will be jett reyna and then yoru cause of the insta locks. Try out omen. He is a hard agent to play properly tho. You will need to watch a lot of guides on how to play him and then watch streamer vods on how they play omen. Omen allows you to be passive and aggressive. His flash is great support util for executes. Hope this helps.
@@DreamWellYT Yeah, as long as I get ascent/haven/split, (i rarely get them idk why..), I do pick omen, as controller, since omen's mobility just helps a lot,, and a flash is best to blind them.
Other than that, i try kayo mostly, coz idk any other agent which can have solo impact(maybe skye but teammates cry for heal, so i never unlocked the agent).
I dont' get to play duelists coz of instalock, and i never get to instalock.
Breach, i play only on fracture. instead of omen/kayo, since he's so good on that map...
Is omen viable on pearl/icebox/fracture?, if yes, i will try omen on these maps too.
@@APerson-tk8cw omen is viable on those maps you just need to watch guides over how to play him properly for each map and learn some cool tp plays/one ways for each map.
3:19 omg thanks so much i loved all this advice but that helped most
I’m glad you found it helpful!
LETS GOOO 🎉 that intro was me af 😂
Honestly my favorite one so far lol.
thx for the notion document, you are amazing !
i have had push to talk bound to my mouse button since i started playing. nice to know I wasn't being stupid like my friends said.
this helped me so much, very underrated creator
I’m so happy you liked it!
Deserved my sub bro you also deserve 100k your video was so good idk why i got it recommended so late, keep it up!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed.
@@DreamWellYT im glad you made the video 😁
Ayyy. The video finally came out. I just got back from school lol.
Hope you enjoyed!
Fantastic video, there's so many people who need to watch this video asap.
The only thing I have issue with is the comms, but it's more of teammates thinking I'm backseating when I'm just reminding them of what util either a teammate or enemy has. It happens quite a bit.
Glad you enjoyed! Yea, when it comes to giving comms it’s important you say “we have…” to avoid coming across as a backseat gamer. In my experience I rarely have people think I am back seat gaming them (in any rank I’ve been in). Usually they understand I’m helping the team with relevant callouts. Also if you explain you logic behind the utility people may be more inclined to listen. Some times people will get annoyed. Just try to phrase your sentence in a way that does not come across like backseating. And what’s the worst that happens? Someone gets upset? Well that happens all the time, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Thoughout the video, i felt every second of it is informational, simply explained and easy to understand. Keep doing what you're doing man !!
Thank you!
no audio dm is actually genuis, especially when u have muffled music playing. feel like ur in the zone :-P
good and very helpful video, i think most of the time you talked about what people do wrong it felt like you were speaking right out of my soul
I’m glad you liked it. Would be amazing to see more people enjoy valorant by playing for the win instead of being selfish.
Improve yourself and don't expected someone would carry u all the time. I love this video! Nice memes too.
Thank you glad you enjoyed!
I need some agent for that..which doesn't have to depend on teammates at all, like controllers/sentinels.,
Duelists i can't pick coz they are anyways instalocked before i even reach agent select screen.
I am trying kayo, which kinda helps in more solo impact, but dk if that's mostly luck.
I can retake 1v3s, but its kinda hard when 1v5..
Thanks i literally saw improvement within 20 mins
Awesome!
That is so true, thanks for this I will definitely share it with my friends
I’m glad it helped you and hopefully your friends as well!

PRX Jinggg: hold my beer
They got to do it for the content ya know
@@DreamWellYT yea plus their aim and insta crouch technique makes things entertaining
ur actually so underrated tf is this shit A NOTION TEMPLATE? bro is dedicated
Thank you! I am dedicated and want to keep growing this community.
the most useful video i’ve seen on this topic wow.
I’m happy that my vid is still helping after so long
a very good and insightful video!! made me feel better about my progress and gave some stuff to focus on, thanks!
Glad it helped!
you deserve at least 100k views so underrated
Thank you! Hopefully RUclips thinks the same.
I know this video is kinda old, but thank you for putting communication in. Im currently struggling in diamond and find myself as the only person doing coms in a good bunch of my games and its annoying, its something that should be obvious but a lot of people don't do it for some reason
For sure!
as somone who q with 2 or 4 friends, i usally get nervous, but your tip helped me to keep calm and have less cared mentally , thank you it helped me getting nevousness out of me ^_^
I’m happy to hear that! Keep up the good work and you’ll be chillin. Remember to have fun at the end of the day. Don’t let a ranked game ruin your day.
I dont know what to say more that i knew and learned the most things you said in the video, i still need to learn some things just by playing the game but
I'm hardstuck Asc 1-2 (loose streak maked me rank down D3 (not only in 1 day, i stopped when i saw that but still loose streaks the other days))
I put so much efforts try my best in every game, for my mates same for me just to win, and being nice, and i dont believe saying "its not the true reasons you're hardstuck" about mates we got when an Immortal Smurf can't even always handle a game on hiw own and on a TEAM game
Im literally training every single day, avoiding the SoloQ the most that i can cause its horrible in every elo, be coaching and reviewing by some friends or just higher ranks, and i guess its still a aim issue of myself, sometimes i can make a bad decisions of peeking etc ... like everyone, but the most of the time we loosing important rounds cause im loosing important 1v1 because of my aim that i dont know how to improve more because im trying and training with everything i could and dont know what to do more, and the fact that im not consistent idk why is even more frustrating than the rest
Im watching so much videos like that to try to fix my problems (sometimes some people telling me tips differently, thats a bit weird too) but it still not a big differences
idk what to do more, i can be so much good in 1 game and so bad the one after (i know the gameplay should be changed depend on the differents ennemy team) but, the fact that i cant do nothing to hold the win if im bad and my mates dont follow, is so frustrating
Asc1-3 is a very messy rank with a lot of skill disparities among teammates and a lot of griefers. Trust me I’m also having a hard time rn at asc 2. I’m doing solo q as a controller and some games are rough. As a matter of fact, I was watching one RUclipsr do a speed run to radiant (he was radiant before) recently and he was stuck in ascendant for a long while. Ranking out of ascendant takes time and a lot of games played. Another thing that can help you is learning to play a certain agents per map. This can increase your consistency in games because you are decreasing variables. Again don’t taking losing in asc too personally, many people (even radiant/high immo smurfs) will struggle to consistently win. Avoid tilt queue and play on your alt instead. Getting out of asc is possible, it just takes time. So stay positive, do not stop practice, and master your agents utility/positioning per map.
@@DreamWellYT That's why im trying to do, i have an agent i like to play for each role but duellists are so important; if you dont have 1 good duellist, its so hard to handle the game
Im also whriting on Notes what agent im more confortable to play with on each map
but my 1st coach told me recently : just perform on 1 agent you play well the most and instalocking in games etc ...
And there's so many people telling me they ranking up fast
so idk, for the time im playing and training every day and still be so hard like that and dont have a really good and constant aim, there would be so much people stronger than me with the time i got all doing this
So im telling myself im not make for this and actually have a mentality to give up and cant stay positive :/
@@pictoract nah it’s a just a bad day of Val trust if you take a few days break from comp (do dm instead) you will get the itch to play again. A bad day of Val really messes with your mental. Don’t worry bro if you want to achieve immortal you can. You are close so don’t give up. Personally if you hs% is over 23% I don’t think aim is your biggest problem. And as for agents, you can play one agent if you want, no problem. You need to know all the set ups/lineups/plays you can do per map.
@@DreamWellYT well im 20% actually but i played from the Beta so
dude, i cant even carry against gold and plat, my aim is so bad i swear, i dont know what can i do more ...
recently I have been getting more teammates where they just don't talk even when they have mic and when I give callouts they are like chill or calm down.
I can see a SERO style here.! which actually is good for people to understand. keep it up mate
Thank you and will do! I put a lot of time into making these videos and am glad you enjoyed.
I went from immortal to hardstuck after a 2 year break, this video isn't just one of those kids who just hit immo or rad and thinks they are the best coach, this video explains it like no other and gives real tips instead of just common sense advice.
Amazing advice ! hope people follow trough.
Immortal myself, and i live in europe.
"Communication" is non-exsistant here.
In my last 50 games, i've had 3 games where comms are normal cause it's denmark/sweden.
Others is full CIS.
Only way to get here is having 2kd and overaggression and continuely win fights.
ASAP you start holding and playing " Nessescary" they lose B site.
Tried playing like this and i lose 18 out of 20 games.
I belive it works in any good atmosphere. But when u live in Scandinavia and u have 4 angry russians on your team 70% of the time you queue. Good luck with comms ^^
100% agree that it is much harder in not only lower elo but Europe/asia servers because people either speak different languages or are far more toxic. However, giving good comms doesn’t mean you need to receive good comms. I have played many games where no one else talks aside from me but I still manage to get the win because I am calling proper Strats or giving relevant callouts to help the team. Simply put just because others don’t talk doesn’t mean you don’t have to and it doesn’t mean your comms are not valuable. They have hidden impact. As for toxicity, I’d just mute them and then continue to give comms. As long as you don’t sound emotional others will stay less emotional. Also giving good comms is not the same as backseat gaming. If others complain you are backseating then learn how to phrase sentences that don’t come across as too bossy. Hope this was useful.
thats perfect. i feel the same when i touched d2 last act. if someone really wanna rank up these r the best tips that can help.
Great work! Also thanks for joining the stream!
insanely amazing put together vid , make more man u def blowin up soon
Thank you! I appreciate it!
the best way to rank up is playing consistently. i was silver 1 for months, i started playing 2 games of competitive EVERY SINGLE DAY and hit gold in 8 days. ranking up is as simple as playing routinely
Yes playing consistently will help a lot.
Thanks to u from bronze 2 to silver 3 finally ❤
Nice work!
Amazing video ive been stuck ascendant for a couple months and this really helped me think about how I can push past my plateau!
Awesome! I can’t wait to see you in immortal!
0:22 BREAKING BAD OMG
Bro has a talent to reply to every comment ( nice vid btw it helped me alot )
I try to respond to most! Thank you!
Thanks fore the info this Will help SO MUCH
I’m glad you enjoyed and learned something from it!
This is the correct tips to improve as a player . But in order to be the best I feel like you have to make the plays that would put your team at a disadvantage with the mindset that you are better then everyone in the lobby . Wining those gunfights will eventually make you successfuly consistent at making risky plays
I agree. The challenge is to learn the difference between discipline and confidence. You need to take 50-50 gunfights at times but you also need to know when you don’t need to take 50-50s.
The communication part is tricky when your teammates are insecure and yell at you if you use your mic
wait someone who actually gave good advice on improving? I was like wait.... finally a real improving video.
Thanks lol
I have the communication habits pretty well under control, but the segment around peeking was actually good.
Thank you! Yea I found that’s it’s my biggest problem. Knowing how to play for time and not throwing your numbers advantage will help you in every rank.
This actually helps ive been hardstuck bronze and i just hit silver in a day
thank you! quite needed some of the stuff mentioned here
Glad it was helpful!
amazing content. notion template is incredible, thanks for the good info!
I’m really happy you found it useful! Good luck on your ranked games!
thank you for the tips. i ussually do most of them but i didn't know the reason that stucks me in bronze was taking unneccesary gun fights and spamming ranked matchs
In bronze you also need to work on how you take gunfights (check out my latest video). You need to be able to win 70-80% of 50-50 gunfights. That means you have to do a lot of practice in aim labs and in death match/range. No way around it other than hard work.
One more tip for you instalock duelists out there. If your'e going to dash into a site or rush in, TELL your teammates beforehand. Otherwise you're pushing a site with no trades, cover or util. The more well timed an execute is and the more well communicated it is, the higher your chance of catching the enemy off guard. The amount of times I've lost my chance to ascendant as a controller main because my duelists continuously flame teammates for not pushing with them is insane.
This is probably the best tip I have ever learned frfr
Thank you!
The big problem with these tips is, that everyone tells you to communicate, but in low elo you most of the time have mates that are muted or dont communicate at all
Yea, first of all in low elo, aim and mechnics should be your focus. Also in low elo, you should talk and communicate but dont expect comms back. Expect to be the only one talking but it does make an impact on the outcome of the game.
For once i feel like this wasnt a clickabait about ranking up
Real thanks for your advice
My focus was to not make this video a repeat of what so many other people say. Im happy you found it useful!
Can we talk about his pc which is recording valorant at 4k?
😊thx for helping this guide helped me a lot
Glad it helped!
okay i think aim/mechanics after you reach like plat is probably 10% if not less of what people should be focusing on, everyones pretty much the same past that so it comes down to knowing when or when not to fight and good utility usage and game sense, which comes with time. you kinda just have to play more and if youre trying to improve then youll rank up. simple as that tbh (im asc2 for reference)
@4:34 omg is that metrokenshin. He's one of the best immortal gamers Ive ever seen. This guy must actually be in immortal elo. Holy fuck guys this guide is for real.
You've got it all; except i become a lot more focused when hungry idk why
More power to you lol
In lower elo, telling your teammates what util they hav will just make them mad and rage at you. They get mad at you for “stating the obvious” and tell you to stop “back seating”. Yet they never end up using the util
as a hardstuck bronze plaer i do think that people who say its there teams fault and deserve say radiatn or whatever it isnt true and that mindset will keep you hardstuck sure sometimes u get bad teamates but just as often the enemy has bad players as well and if you are good enough you would carry the team
You deserve more subs man. Great video!
Appreciate it!
finally a guide that can get through my thick skull
3:25 I thought I was the only one doing that (I too have viper mini)
The necessary gunfight thing is really helpfull although i wont be getting as much kills i will for sure win rounds more often
For sure. Less kills, more wins, more happy.
Dang bro, thats a fire video!
You didn't say anything i didnt know but how you said it and the analysis sheet are sick! Like from me my dude, really good tips!
I’m so happy you enjoyed! Takes a while making these vids.
dam , finally not that "go get crosshair placement" video , appreciate it man
While cross hair placement is super essential, I didn't want to bore people with it in this video. I'm glad you enjoyed!
I've been warming up for 15 days. I'm almost ready to jump in the queue.
Fire Video as always 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the compliment!
I like making and analogy comparing FPS games to chess. Ask yourself what move should I do to gain an advantage? Is this sacrifice neccessary? How should I coordinate well?
Play tactical shooters like you are playing chess. Evaluate your situation and decide on the best way to deal with it with everything in your arsenal and environement
3:20 I have PTT on the left ALT key right next to the space bar because this way I can easily reach it since my thumb is resting on the space bar anyways. I'm not using the scroll wheel for jumping and I bound the side mouse buttons to the E and Q abilities. Currently peak Plat2 btw and omw to Diamond.
I REALLY WANT TO RANK UP, AND THIS VIDEO IS REALLY HELPFUL. I AM JUST SO TIRED OF BEING THE IGL FOR A TEAM THAT WONT LISTEN TO ME. I AM IN A SLUMP AND I SEEM TO KEEP GETTING TROLLED OR SMURFED ON IN MY RANK UP GAME
the comms part is hard for me because im 14 and i still sound like an 8 year old so my teammates dont take me seriously and just bully me but the rest of the tips were really helpful tysm! i subbed and liked
Awesome! Another tip to avoid people becoming toxic is to not complain to the team and to sound objective instead of emotional. Most people won’t be toxic then. But of course there are many weirdos who still will be toxic.
I was doing most of these things when I was hardstuck silver, even before I saw this video, it took me a long time to realise what I had to do, and what I had to fix on my own. I've come to the same conclusions as this video tells us, and I've ranked up from silver 2 to diamond 2 in about 3 weeks after implementing all of these
Awesome! Keep up the great work!
Tysm for this video ❤❤
Ayyy glad you enjoyed!
