Hahaha this is so me! Thanks for the gentle reminder. Just started playing to the game and I'm getting discouraged from the smurfs that I encountered while playing. smh. It's my 2nd week now.
Every time I feel like giving up, you just suddenly come up with something that literally says: "not an option, you have to keep going" and it blows my mind. Every single time.
EXACTLY! As I'm writing this, I've lost 3 swiftplays in a row, and every time I think I wanna give up, he uploads a video like this. It's like he's deep inside my head
Same idk why either, like I never used to be this way and I’m not currently with Rocket League 😭 I think I’m just afraid of being flamed honestly, it really upsets me
it does help for sure but maybe you end up like me having your second account the one you care less about in a higher rank than your main since you dont care as much you barely feel any anxiety
Holy shit, the account rotation is ACTUALLY amazing, I'm gonna try that! Also every single one of your videos have without fail been hitting points I've been struggling with as a newbie, and have been in the exact order I've needed them. Thank you Woohoojin!
I love how in his coaching he utilizes a technique from addiction rehab of "playing the tape through" where he entertains the idea of what they were trying to do worked and how in the best scenario of their decision its still not a great idea because they don't have a great way to follow up on their not great plan
I'm so happy to see this type of topic being picked up, I have the same issue and I'm amazed this channel focuses on so many informations and stuff u don't see anywhere else
after watched blue lock. I know what is my WIN EQUATION. It is Better Gun fight Mechanic + CLAMNESS = Win 70% of gun fight in my silver lobby. I can get better gun fight mechanic with your gold routine but I don't know how to keep calm or TO NO PANIC. This video will surely get me gold!
I'm ngl if u wanna hit gold what helped me get a lot calmer and obviously better raw aim was doing Kovaaks, I got to plat doing that when I was in gold.
Damn Hooj, I really needed this one. I am falling victim to the second dragon curve with the long-term fall-off due to fear of trusting my mechs in bronze. This gives me hope and strategies to get back on the right track. Thank you!
despite his situation I still need to comment that hes a really good coach i mean how comes up with stuff like these like him💀these are some genuinely great advices
I've noticed something myself. In fights I feel like I die so fast. Like milliseconds go by. Now everytime that happens I clip that moment and go back after the match to see how long it actually took and look at how and why I died/missed. It's been helping me a lot. I do the same for when I get a good flick, kill, ace, whatever and I just analyze what I did to make me win that. For instance I've noticed I do much better when I'm near cover, and not wide swinging corners and instead peaking them and going back into the corner. Noticing that has made me play more in the corners than I usually do and bettering my aim. If that starts to fall off I'll do the same thing, clip it and analyze it. Side note with what Woohoojin said about playing with friends. My friend is peak Plat 1, and he plays like it. I'm starting to realize I might be pulling him down with me (he never plays ranked without me and my friends so he stays in our elo, love him for that) and now I've started using that as a goal to get better. I want to reach my peak again, and I want him to be able to reach his too. So far it's been working pretty well, despite my inconsistency, which if anybody has a tip on that let me know. One day I'm an aim god in my elo, another I play like a plastic and I'm not sure why.
a good tip for that is take longer to warm up, like 30 mins, no more, but still around there. Just play in the range, aim labs, and death match until you feel up to playing ranked. if you play for an hour and still don't feel up to it, then don't play ranked. at most you should only be playing like 3-4 ranked games a day, at least if you are really trying to improve your elo. if you don't care about ELO, just practice a lot on the things you are struggling on and they will get better, it'll just take time. in death match focus not on getting kills, but getting better at one thing at a time, whether that being peeking, positioning, holding a site, one taps, click timing, not panicking, or anything else, but work on one thing at a time.
I like the spiral idea. Ive been changing the way I play which is losing me a lot of games but I trust the process because I feel the way I was playing wasn't working against better players who make less mistakes.
yeah but unless you commit a good peek or have an advantage the enemy will just blast at you the moment a pixel of you appears doesnt matter if its a onetap or a spray you dont feel like u can line up ur shots
I wasn’t paying attention and 1v3 clutched when it was 11-12 and I didn’t realize the game was literally riding on me hitting all of my shots at 23 HP.. if I would’ve known it was 11-12 I would’ve never hit them 😂
I did that alt thing, but I did it whenever I was scared I would do bad and lose some rr on the main. I was so scared I almost exclusively played on the alt for multiple episodes. It was a lot less stress and I wasn't scared to do random weird things in my games because alt rank doesn't matter. Eventually though, my alt got to plat 2, while my main was gold 1 (the peak I was scared to lose).
I recently took a break from Valorant because I wasn’t having fun, I have a feeling it could be many other things as well as ranked anxiety. When I’m ready to get back into it, I am going to try the 2 accs strategy to make sure I’m not nervous upon return.
I took ur advice I stopped being scared and qued ranked....and I tried to be more aggressive and have an ego as duelist and ngl it works I lost 2 games and then 3rd game 30 bomb....Thankyou 😢❤
Man I miss the stress that used to come with ranked games. But playing in locals for clout (not valorant) kinda killed that nervousness that I used to get.
hey hooj was just curious about internet problems and valorant. ive asked everyone i know practically if they know anything about this problem and noone knows how to fix it so i thought i would ask the only other person i can think of that knows practically everything about valo. i have major ping issues in valorant ( teleporting around ) and it does not happen with any other online game i play so ive started thinking its a valorant issue but i cant seem to find any information on this issue anwhere. ive tried setting its priorty high on task manager and that didnt work so ive basically ran out of options. yes im on ethernet cable. quick summary since i waffled a bit : major ping issues. only happens with valorant. teleporting around mostly. out of options. also peak diamond 2 and hardstuck plat 3. i can still make a impact with util and comms but i lose way to many gunfights due to these issues.
by other online games, do you mean other shooter games too? Do you face the same issue in games like COD or Fortnite? I'm asking that because the jitter (variation in ping) often doesn't matter in other kind of online games.
update: i looked around because ive tried everyting i can think of so the last thing possible was windows firewall was doin some sus shit. so i looked around and apparently my windows "inbound" connections to valorant were blocked. therefore legit destroying my ping. and im now enjoying the game tenfolde since i fixed it.
Bro no fcking way No fcking way I was literally watching a dm vod back i recorded, and a swift play and was seeing that the aim i had in dm was 10x as good because i wasn't panicking, i open UA-cam and find this. Woohoojin might be the actual goat bro, thank u daddy
Worrying about peak is so true I realised that every game i play i always peak in my most recent season and after peaking in valorant with a few VERY lucky games I got really scared to rank until i got drunk with some friends qued rank and didnt do that bad. i didnt pop off or anything but it made me realised that i was just scared of losing rr and it was making me play way worse than i would normally
If a viewer is consistently doing Option 1, would that change how VOD Review criteria works? Would you want that specified in the VOD Submission that "I'm on Account A until [insert new peak here]." ?
@woohoojin the option one sounds like it would be good for me because I feel like i have that fear and losing that fear would be good, but should I start doing that now? because I'm diamond 3 and that would be a hella climb on the other account
You should have no problem catching back up then. Have more confidence in yourself, you’re D3 for a reason. Get another acc and get back up there. At least you can decompress and be more relaxed. Even better, knowing you have two accs up there is a huge mental boost.
That is EXACTLY my problem. (Bronze 3, peak G1). In DM I've a 80-90% Headshot rate, and I CANT playing like this in ranked. So I panic, shoot through the body and not to the head or I try shooting head and dont hit it - and in DM I fight easily against dia or so. And I cant explain why. Before this video it looks like black magic for me 😂 It MUST be black magic because it can't be that I am shooting like shit in ranked and otherwise in dm not! 😂 But now... you are totally right. I am focussing on too many things. At the flaming and derping on the voicechat, my fear for the downrank. My damn kill quote - funny, it is horrible when I am worried about it and it feels like I cant do something about it. But now I know I CAN! Thank you for this video, you make me feel comfy with ranked again! 😊 (Sorry for my english, I am german.)
"Cons, no skins" Jokes on you hooj. Im an idiot. I cry when i look at my bank account but cry even more when i look at the skins on my alt and wonder why I did it
woohoojin are you reading my mind, seriously I was going to ask this thing in your latest video, and you already made it. Damn you are my duo. GG woohoojin!
why is everyone else in gold and this bad but i’m bronze and people are one tapping me
Because you're delusional, drop a VOD!
@@Woohoojin Do you take vod from anyone even people not subbed ?
Because you forget the moments when they didn't one tap you.

How to not panic in valorant - Stop playing valorant & panic about your pending work.
Is working so far I'm nailing this!
Not giving a shit about messing up also works honestly. If this guy plays more ranked he would get used to it and not give af anymore
thats actually true bro, i've been playng too much without completing my work
you actually gave me a reality check lol I didn't have my priorites straight
Hahaha this is so me! Thanks for the gentle reminder. Just started playing to the game and I'm getting discouraged from the smurfs that I encountered while playing. smh. It's my 2nd week now.

Same idk why either, like I never used to be this way and I’m not currently with Rocket League 😭 I think I’m just afraid of being flamed honestly, it really upsets me
it does help for sure but maybe you end up like me having your second account the one you care less about in a higher rank than your main since you dont care as much you barely feel any anxiety
I did this but then my alt became higher elo than my main and my ranked anxiety was worse on my alt...
@@jaber5345Isn't that why you switch lmao
same bro i swear i havent played rank for acouple days cuz i reached a new div
Watched this while driving on my way to the texting and driving competition
Holy shit, the account rotation is ACTUALLY amazing, I'm gonna try that!

1:59 "this review is giving youtube video vibes" Bro was spot on
I'll trust the talking banana in a zombie apocalypse
That spiral kicked a switch in my head. Thank you
11:30 ahhh yess drivin and textin analogy, best example in the world
Hey i just found your channel yesterday and happy to say i started watching your VOD reviews than tenz livestream. Learned alot thanks ❤
the competitive texting and driving analogy is insane lol
I’ve found that every round I’ll reset myself by saying “I’m better, I have more time than I think.” And on average I did way better when I do this
Hooj tysm for doing this vod cuz it talks mostly about what i do
despite his situation I still need to comment that hes a really good coach i mean how comes up with stuff like these like him💀these are some genuinely great advices
i appreciate your consistent upload time schedule so much
thank you woohojin, time to grind my text and drive ranking

Thank you talking banana, this video is exactly what i needed since 3 years ago
5:36 , is your gun malfunctioning?😅😂😂😂😂
I’ve never had a vod speak to me so personally
I love how I see some of myself in almost every video.
if i pause for even half a second, i just die
The video is needed woohoojin! Thanks a million
buddy added captions to his VOD review 💀
Im deaf, that's neat for us tbh
Ngl, that is a pretty decent idea to do, your coach can see what you realize you did wrong and what you didnt know was a bad idea to do
bro breaking down how to text and drive is so fucking funny
7:56 is such a funny line 😂
The Banana Nation has legalized Medical Smurfing.
Panicking because you fear losing your rank is like Panicking when you try to talk to a girl and fear losing her 😂
finally found something i can relate to, i love you hoojj, thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu
Nullifying the desire is very good for dealing with this issue
Me who panic shoots on both dm and in game: ah yes
I like the spiral idea. Ive been changing the way I play which is losing me a lot of games but I trust the process because I feel the way I was playing wasn't working against better players who make less mistakes.
Ah yes, ranked-competitive texting and driving. The most riveting sport of all.
yeah but unless you commit a good peek or have an advantage the enemy will just blast at you the moment a pixel of you appears doesnt matter if its a onetap or a spray you dont feel like u can line up ur shots
rose is genuinely one of my favorite T3s, really wanna see her climb
I wasn’t paying attention and 1v3 clutched when it was 11-12 and I didn’t realize the game was literally riding on me hitting all of my shots at 23 HP.. if I would’ve known it was 11-12 I would’ve never hit them 😂
This is exactly what I’m struggling with, thank you
1:12 Just for confirmation, this is a good technique to use actually. I did this so that even if i lose RR i still have my main acc with higher rank
Holy shit. That 2 account method with the peak rating is exactly what I do with chess. Maybe I need to do it in Valorant as well.
So that's why when I first played valorant I could easily drop 30 kills and now I can't
This video felt like it taught me a life lesson
I did that alt thing, but I did it whenever I was scared I would do bad and lose some rr on the main. I was so scared I almost exclusively played on the alt for multiple episodes. It was a lot less stress and I wasn't scared to do random weird things in my games because alt rank doesn't matter. Eventually though, my alt got to plat 2, while my main was gold 1 (the peak I was scared to lose).
Im so ready to get this banana wisdom thats gonna no scope right to my brain :D
Hooj really out here teaching people to set stop losses on their rank 😂
Day 1 of thanking Woohoojin for no-scoping Potassium wisdom right to my brain
This is the video I have been waiting for months I have always been good in dm matching up with golds but so bad in compi that I'm iron
yeah I'm bronze but in DM I smoke plat players a lot. I just need to play more ranked tho
I recently took a break from Valorant because I wasn’t having fun, I have a feeling it could be many other things as well as ranked anxiety. When I’m ready to get back into it, I am going to try the 2 accs strategy to make sure I’m not nervous upon return.

Js realised this is the whole fking reason why I've been so inconsistent damn. It only got worse when I peaked asc and fell back to dia
