It's kinda true tho. I am an unranked player for 1 year. But i've been watching UA-cam Channel: Airen for quite some time now. I've enjoy watching the way he breaks down strats from tournament, how pro players think & act, how this how that. I started to implement those "strats" in my gameplay & now, i'm a proud Immortal 1 (my aim improved by 20% anyways 🤣)
I don’t think there’s much reading happening in valorant tbh. The more you stray from simplicity the harder your rounds are gonna be in SOLOQ. I can agree with you if we’re talking about tournaments or scrims. But ranked is literally just call of duty with a twist. Your duelists are gonna run it down 90% of the time and take 50-50 aim duels. Cuz if they win 2 aim duels it’s a 5v3 which is a round win 70% of the time.
I mean they either run it down or bait. I wasn't high in ranks, but my ranked experience playing a duelist or playing with duelists as a controler/senti is that since there is no communication basically, there is no initiating the executes, so if a duelist waits for util they won't ever go in or if they don't they take 40/60 fights if not worse, but if they can aim it works
Movement is a part of aiming tho... I mean I generally agree with you, but the way you said it, would suggest that aim and movement are 2 different things, even tho they go hand in hand with each other. Also I dislike the chess example, because mechanics in chess and valo are not really comparable, valo does not have the strategic heavyness of chess and chess has not the mechanical depth of valo, its too different to really use as an example in this situation. It would probably be better be compared with a sport like football, where both strategy and mechanics are extremly important, because you dont need to be the fastest to move a piece in chess, but the first to kill your opponent in valo.
Think player, Think
