guys i made a new video lol hey hi
It was good keep it up :3
gud video hi hey lol
bye bye ur advic gud but i eet frise
The part about needing to play everyday was something my immo friend told me about when I told him bout my inconsistency but since my brother has bad grades my parents won’t let me play daily
My biggest “tip” is to always be focused. Like the video said, people tend to autopilot. That’s always what gets you killed. Just stop and think for a moment.
yessir turn those brains on (im stupid)
but it's no fun that way
Facts tho, i zone out way too much.
@@Zielllu winning is pretty fun tho
@@Zielllu well then its fun when ur hardstuck silver 1
this is. ACTUALLY a person stepping in the right direction
preciate the kind words and you watching, means a lot!
@@wavytaebanytime, i just really appreciate watching when people actually take the time to actually see what it takes to improve at something rather than shortcut it like everyone else very nice to see👍
"aim is only there to correct a mistake you made" perfectly said. Me and my duo got to high immortal and he constantly felt it was his aim holding him back and i was trying to tell him that aim isn't as big of a worry as he thinks and in my opinion he had good enough aim. This is probably one of if not the ONLY valorant guide that actually speaks majority truth. Most valorant guides are survivorship bias or simily wrong. Dicipline beats talent play consistant by being consistant it's that simple. Good video man keep it up!
Yes that's why some high ranked players have robotic aim but still get less kills than players with just about decent steady consistent aim that relies on crosshair placement and microadjustements rather than flicking
appreciate you
@@wavytaeb who
@@slowtalker Exactly. I don't know if people here are just coping about bad aim. You can get to immortal solely by having great aim. Reyna and Chamber one tricks that came from CS have been proving that many times already. You can be horrible at valorant but if you have great aim and good tactical fps knowledge from cs, you can become immortal. It'd be a lot harder to become immortal with bad aim.
@@RestTarRr aim is a huge thing but dude i ve seen many high elo cs players get lost in valo and overwhelmed by thousand stuns
I'm an immortal with 0 social skills and when I coach people this is exactly what I can't get out of my mouth. Im going to bookmark this video
lol youre welcome to join my discord and help others out as well!
how're you gonna coach without social skills lmao, thats the whole point of coaching
@@ArmyofDrag343 He has skills. He wants to share)
You are giving many people tips that they need to get better, you really deserve more subs than you have right now. Goodluck with your venture into youtube.
appreciate it.
In march i noticed i really like this game, so im putting in the hours. Not just practicing aim and crosshair placement but trying to get every bit of info on how to improve, guides, correcting bad habits, etc. But if u cant do this at least a fair amount per day its going to take a lot more to progress. Being consistent is key to every hobby, sport and many other things. Nice Video ! gl
thank you >_
my man actually earned a sub for genuinely touching my valorant passion. keep getting better wavy
all love appreciate the support brother
Love this video, finally someone that tells you what the best way to improve is. This video is actually better than any guide out there 🥶
glad it helped ^_^
Good video man
oh my god I FEEL SO BAD NOW. broken in exile my favorite instalock reyna
@@wavytaeb lmaooo don't feel bad, this is a really good video!
I love the way you put this, you say the truth and don't sugar coat it like all the other youtubers do, you break the truth to people who are hardstuck bronze-gold (and higher), getting better isn't a quick fix, it's not something that happens overnight, just like how got good at that other game, you put time into it and got better at it, you aren't going to get good at a game just cause this 1.5M Subscriber youtuber told you "If you use my sensitivity you'll get good overnight"
appreciate the comment
So I never tried ranked or anything but have been wanting to get better. Watching this is a breath of fresh air. To the point, honest and no bs. Great video man!
glad i coud help, stop by a stream sometime!
You'll see more value playing 4 games every day for 4 days than playing 16 games in one day.
Just how the brain works, for consistent results, you need consistent application and practice.
Regardless to whatever any youtuber or high ranked player may say, mechanics are one of the if not the most important thing(s) in valorant soloQ, so yes train your mechanics and train them equally (not just your aim, but your movement and shooting hygiene as well)
yes, i agree, and i appreciate the view as well as the effortful comment it means a lot!
Yeah practice body hygiene as well smelly mfs
Just found your channel so underrated ngl you earned yourself a new sub ❤
thank you so much! check out my twitch/discord sometime
Taeb talking about good mental and comms KEKW I watch this man mald for hours on stream every week🤣
man i said it's something you need to master i never said i mastered it 😭
this is the realest tip, i’ve watched sh-t ton of videos about tips and all, but this vid really made more sense. You deserve more subs, u got 1 here! 💯
really glad it helped, thank you!
ur so real for this, ty for this vid. needed to hear this
get out there and climb nowww >_
i always say this and it feels so refreshing to see someone else finally say it & make a video about it
altough if i play many rounds a day i do get exhausted and perform worse, so it really depends on the person - but realistically playing more = getting better
thanks for the comment ^_^
you get exhausted because you don't take breaks. it doesn't stop at playing 5 games a day for example, the continuation is that it's best to sprinkle them up through your day as much as possible. play back to back games only when you're on fire, otherwise it's best to take at least a 15-30 min break between them. of course if you're busy with life you probably have 6-7 hours of free time a day, but even still 4 games are like 2 hours and a half and you still have the time to take breaks in between. watch a series/anime episode or smth then get back to it. it's so simple
Its better to play consistently 2 games for a week, than it is to play 14 games in one day
@@SnowMexicann no it literally isn't. 2 games a week will never be enough time to get any type of good rank in any game ever unless you're a prodigy, and news flash most people aren't. we're especially talking about a shooter here, with the gameplay leaning towards the reactive side whereas a game like League leans towards the methodical side and if you learn the correct things you can get better much faster. In a shooter you basically have to train your subconscious reaction and your aim gets progressively better strictly by practicing more. you can play 2 games a week once you've reached a certain level to where the game is ingrained in your brain and you can take it slow without losing everything you learned. or of course if you're playing for fun, but this is not why people clicked on this video ;)
@@lust8890dude u aint go pro anyway, and messing up your life for reach immortal 2 is not worth it. And playing 2 or 3 hours a day is enough to play decent and be good in a videogame
Finally someone who brings it to the point. You cant say such things under certain yt videos because youll 100% just get comments like "average iron", "youre just hardstuck what do you know", "just get good noob" etc etc. And yes I am not even close to the top ranks Im just chilling in plat, but that doesnt mean I or other people cant have opinions, no? So I appreciate it a lot seeing you trying to open the community´s eyes
i appreciate you as well
yo, probably the best video i've seen so far on this subject. you've just put litarally almost everything you need to know into 3 minutes. great job bro
Appreciate you
Everything was pretty obvious to me, but that autopilot part was really important. Thnx for making a video like this, hopefully it’ll help more players 👍
of course!
I’m only silver 2 but the moment I started a consistent warm up routine before playing comp I instantly started ranking up from bronze 1 this year. It definitely makes you feel like you have agency over the game and your mechanics as opposed to just jumping into games cold and getting dumpstered.
yeah warming up is important
These are on point tips bro I will actually practice on the tips you showed on your vid tysm for the tips bro!
no problem dude 0_o check out my twitch/discord if you have the chance, i appreciate the comment and view ^_^
@@wavytaeb sure i will check it out tomorrow
Honestly this is a great video and I’ve been trying to tell people this stuff too. I’ve only been immortal once kinda stuck ascendant 2 for a bit but also haven’t been grinding in awhile. Consistent good practice is the key to consistent good gameplay. There are no shortcuts. Nothing beats experience so you just gotta be bad and get some till you aren’t.
i appreciate it a lot
I'll preface this by saying I'm familiar with Zapper's content, and I admire that he's willing to post videos on things he is currently learning/working on. Some people learn better by teaching, could be his way of helping himself implement the things he is learning.
2:00 I'll play devils advocate on this point. The point of thinking before the round is: what your plan will be going into the round should be decided before the round.
I like to view every round of Valorant as if it were a game of chess. You should have openers/strats that you can execute that have been thought out before the round, but like chess, you'll need to start freestyling at some point in the "midgame" of the round.
Overall I agree with most of your points, especially the point of everyone putting more weight on aim than other aspects of the game.
yeah it's fine to have a plan at the beginning of rounds, but you shouldn't stop thinking and just play mid rounds. i love you
Great video brother, I’d have to say though as a former immortal 3 player, there are some points here that I disagree with for “most” players. Everyone is different and while focusing on crosshair may be great for a small percentage of players I think rather than focusing on crosshair you focus on the enemy’s heads. Especially for someone who aim trains often if you need to adjust your crosshair it is easier to adjust when you are focused on their head rather than the enemy player being in your peripheral. I can go in depth on this if people would like.
yeah i mean for me it's kind of like a hazy emphasis on my crosshair with my eyes waiting for react to an enemy, especially in longer ranged duels.
Congrats on the viral video man! Its crazy how much you've grown in 2 months
thanks for noticing! i hope these numbers are consistent one day, but i really appreciate all the love everyone shows. seems like you've been around a while, stick around and let's see what comes of this all!
Started playing val a month ago and I think your the first honest UA-camr I’ve ran in to, keep it up king 👑
thanks bro
This video alone is so much better than 80% of the valorant guides
appreciate you!
wavyTAEB of the wavy CLAN omg
U gained a subscriber bro , keep it up 🤝🏻 telling the right direction to move . ❤
appreciate the love!
thx for the advice i will focus more on those stuff
of course
i think the autopilot in rounds and thinking in between rounds was a tip woohoojin gave to jeyg because him thinking in rounds is affecting his performance
fair enough i don't want to argue about it i just don't think that it's correct
@wavytaeb this was advice to a specific student who was better at aiming than the people around him in immortal3.
It was just so he would take more duels and overheat more. The overheating more I think most people can benefit from but this advice was specific to 1 student and is an exception not the rule.
@@wavytaeb I think this was specific advice to a radiant player for that game, not something for everyone
thats what I was thinking, but JeyJ has better aim than his peers in his rank so woohoojin wants him to abuse his godlike aim.
It's just important to know how to differentiate between the two. Like you have to be able to switch between the "AIM" and "THINK" state in the middle of a round in order to get the best performance. Atleast that's what I try to do
i got super tilted today and this is kind of inspiring. i always blame everything on my aim
glad to help
thank bro for the content you have help my aim alot
LOL no problem
Man dropping the word of the gods like damn. Pretty much an immediate sub from me
love that from you.
i know for a fact the thing keeping me from getting out of ascendant this act isn't my aim or crosshair placement, its definitely mental, teamplay, timings and other things. My team mates often do not wish to collaborate at all and troll instead of trying
mute trolls lock in
well said brother ive seen so many of those bs videos in my recommended like that and i always believe hard work will equal RR and ranking up
so real + true
Loved the content, straight forward and to the point.
thanks
Yoo master complete, how long did it take for you to get there? And what is your first benchmark?
i think i hit master complete at around 400 hours, and my first gm score at a few under 500.
Personally I find my biggest downfall in this game is focusing too much on what my team-mates are doing and not on myself. The games I do the best are always the games where i just forget about what my teams doing and just focus on doing the best I can.
try to focus on yourself 👍🏽
AMAZING VIDEO TAEB!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
thanks hennie
this is the best advice I've actually heard I am an apex player/content creator and I have taken a few dips into valo and every video is talking about Crosshair placement. no one ever talks about time spent and how to actually practice to get better good vid very good vid
thanks i appreciate it
As an Immortal 3 for 3Episodes I finally decided to put in effort and time into reaching radiant and currently at 500 RR sadly the Cap keeps rising and it’s currently 659Rr which is pretty annoying but i will get there
you can do it, i know the feeling. you just gotta keep grinding.
@@wavytaeb Quick update Instalocker Reynas keep getting into my lobby and finish wit 4/20 score
I was immortal 2 this few days ago.. i was 10 points shy from immortal 3 and after i lost so many games two games with hackers {cause i reported nd riot gave me a thanking msg that they were caught) but after that i kept on losing.. all minus kd prior to this i was always 20 k above most games and i dropped to as3.. My head pains when i play i feel like I am putting to much pressure but i dont know what to do exactly how to get rid of this slump..
Instalock reyna, hard carry your dumbass team, evil arc begins.
hey man don't worry about it. if you're still playing after being so close to imm 3 it just means you don't have ranked anxiety which is really good. take a break, queue up, and do your best.
I would just take a break for like a day then go back in
Awesome video, great advice!
glad u enjoyed
thank u i needed to hear this 🙏 i subscribed
thank you for subbing and watching. keep working and if you ever need help i'm here ☺️
i usually find myself actually focusing en seeing the targets and just adjusting my crosshair to what i see, not see if my crosshair is in the head or not. This made me way more consistent in every fps that i play. And i believe having a preround plan is good, but adjusting to the info you get its way more important to be a good player. Other thing is a lot of people that i see spam 20 games a day and say they are not consistent and im like "mf you autopilot 90% of those games ofc you are not going to be as consistent as someone who plays 4 to 6 games full focused trying to improve instead of RNG his way up the leaderboard by getting carried most of his games.
thanks for sharing!
i agree with this entire comment
This is the truth for all games and most things in life. Literally just gotta play more. It's how the brain works. The reason why people are good is because their brain is literally built to be good at that. Playing something for hours a day, everyday, for weeks, months, and years, your brain will literally adapt to do that thing more efficiently. Now don't hop on for hours and turn your brain off and auto pilot. You still gotta learn new things and put in the work.
exactly. thank you for the well thought out comment and for watching.
Agreed, your last sentence is the most important part. Too many people have spent 100s-1000s of games hardstuck in low elo autopiloting soloqueue.
holy shit. you completely changed my mindset. thank you.
you're welcome
Love the video man! I believe this will enhance my gameplay and get me higher, hopefully get high plat-diamond
thanks man i really appreciate it. you can hit any rank you want to if you put in the work.
As a VCT Qual Player even I find myself being inconsistent. From my experience there are two things that are the key to success and good gameplay.
1. Take breaks. Reset your mental after a few bad rounds by standing up and focus on something in your room or outside your window to create a new sense of space and reality of the situation. Take deep breaths, and hop back in with a new mindset.
2. Maintain positive vibes. Yelling at teammates and raging isn't gonna do anything good for you or your team. If you have that problem, refer to #1. By staying positive, supportive, and caring, you will often find more success through that moral boost. Competitive games can be as much as a mental issue as a skill issue, and it's important to draw that separation.
thanks for the tips o_0
even if you hate the advice given,
It's awfully true tbh. Majority of the people think immortal elo is like 9 out of 10 players in the lobby are great, skillfully aimed, and each with 160 IQ.
Nahh it ain't really like that. And it's actually more anti-climatic from what people think elo differences is.
Competitive games in Valorant with the higher elo it goes.
Each game is basically just a thinking marathon. And every round/every game is truthfully based on whose person with a better tolerance of mental strain & whose better awareness-wise.
I used to think everything is going to be entirely skill-based but realizing how being more mentally aware branches out even alot more than what you think it is.
p.s. 'I would love to know the BGM used in the video'

actual w advice. thank you for the video.
of course, check out my discord and twitch if you have some time!
Ur voice when combined with this music is just so calming man
thanks
0:52 aint no way bro just blinded his teammates and smoked heaven 2 times this the omen on my team that insta lock omen istg and holds the entire team hostage by saying i will run it down if "something"
I think the double smoke kept him safe when he tped into them
i get a little silly sometimes :3
Pog blinding teammates increases ACS try it if u don’t believe me 😎
To be more consistent,you should play more inconsistent games and just play the game 24/7
Good tips. Help me alot
Reached radiant cuz of this advice, thanks bro
thanks i'm now rank 1
learning to hard focus for tracking actually is the best advice there is to anybody, i've helped complete beginner getting from total trash to actual decent tracking
yeah tracking is good for your overall aim
i totally agree with your thoughts here. im a fellow immortal as well and i dont just look at my crosshair, i use my eyes a lot
happy someone has the same view as me
This vid made me cry, someone actually gets what the point of valorant is.Ty wavy
crybaby
Really helpful and good video all round
thabks
The video that I needed
it found you for a reason
needed this
here you go 🤲🏽
As someone who watched that vid and was like Wtf. I appreciate u clearing things up Ozl ❤
thanks for watching
Really got the point, the mental and game knowledge is the most important thing
yeah it is
bro opened my eyes damn
tnx bro
Got you
thats litterally best guide i ever seen
i appreciate you, thanks for watching.
These tips are pure gold to whoever understands them and actually accepts them, If u don’t find these tips helpful you need to drop your ego and understand that you’re dog shit because of ur mental lock down. If you wanna learn you’ll open up your ears and listen to the worst critics even.
i will never drop my ego B)
Thank you man, nice Video
no problem, hope you enjoyed!
Wow, finally someone who knows what they are talking about, I look at so many of these videos and its just so much bullshit and the low elo players believe it because "hey hes higher rank than me", thanks for giving good advice, I wanna one day start making videos about no bs advice but just dont have the confidence yet, hopefully i can encourage myself oneday
i believe in you you've just got to start
keep it up my boy
hey great video.what type of crosshair do you recommend? i keep switching between a dot, a + and a classic tenz crosshair. I sometimes do really good with all of them and sometimes really bad with all of them.
underrated content creator man keep it up and good video
much love appreciate you
Trust me this helped to hear. Thank you.
I don’t know if I can ever play 150 ranked games in a season , you did that with half the season still left. Salute to you gamer
gamers gonna game brother man, thanks for watching.
I remember this one game I had like a couple days ago thought we were gonna lose but then I decided to really use my head I found out what the other team had I focused on everything the enemy did where they where where they would be ever round I just put so much brain power into that one game so much so that I started calling about where people would be how they would play before the round started we ended up winning my team was not the best by a long shot but really opening you eye in a game is super helpful can win you so much games
never give up baby
The hero we need
o7
Sounds so simple but really helpful
glad you think so!
Competetive Fortnite taught me these lessons a long time ago and I've applied them to Valorant with some success. I am a rather consistent player and the only thing keeping me back most days is mental and volume of matches I can play (life lol). I stick to short routines I can do everyday. I found the sense and crosshair that works for me and never changed it once. I do actively focus on aim and crosshair placement, but only when I notice it deteriorating. Rather, I focus more on game sense, positioning, and coordination during matches. This is the realest advice anyone could give.
i was also a comp fort player 💀
@@wavytaeb Lol. I don't miss any of it for even a minute. 4 years of grinding wasted when I could have been on Valorant.
thank you bro
of course
subscribed for those facts. good video
appreciate it!
This is very true. A lot of people love looking for shortcuts (try this crosshair, try this sens, use only this gun...) or even just looking at a bunch of videos on how to get better. I once had a friend send me 5+ hours of guides on Valorant. That's nice but too much. Spending 5 hours watching how to get better will never be more effective compared to playing 5 hours. Most of the best players of any game ever didn't get good by getting coached or by watching guides, they got good by simply playing the game.
no shortcuts baby all work.
@@wavytaeb Exactly, you want to reap the rewards you gotta be willing to grind
guys i hit radiant just by playing the game it took a long ass time but i didnt do no aim training just played the game untill i got good and watching pros helps alot
wpgg
W Video. A Actual Good and honest youtuber man! thank you im b1 trying to rank up
Preciate you
Yo the music made me think about my life decisions
LOL i love this song
I think a lot of tips were actually helpful for me, especially the ones about decision-making which seems to me is what most people struggle with since aiming is mostly a matter of practice and crosshair placement. Also I think a lot of people straight-up unfocus during games and don't really think about clearing angles as something they need to focus on, they just go through the motions without being prepared to check said angles and end up dying due to not being ready, assuming the reason they lost the fight was because they suck at aiming. Overall I see a LOT of videos that have good tips on how to improve and while "just playing" would still make you better over time I think helping yourself by watching some good tutorials on lineups, map control, positioning etc.. can help you get the hang of how things work a lot faster.
Also as a quick tip and an example of what I just said: do you know how to swing an angle? Depending on the type of angle and where the enemy is positioned there a few ways you should do it, you can jiggle-peek, swing close, swing while hugging the wall, wide swing etc.., also it's important to know what's on the other side and use utility on the right angles instead of wasting it. Personally this is the tip that helped me the most, I lost a lot of gunfights and never understood why, I always blamed my aim then I finally understood that it wasn't my aim but the fact I was taking fights that I shouldn't be taking or that I should be taking in a very different way.
Glad I could help
this helped me a lot i come from ca and we can at times crutch aim
glad you enjoyed, check out my twitch and discord for more!
Love you bro, good video
Appreciate you
very true @wavytaeb also you're hitting the algorithm love the vibes and content you earned a new sub
appreciate that man good looks for the sub!
I use raw accel to touch up on my aim but i warmup/aim train with/without it that's fine right?
yes
honestly some great content
great commenter :)
I've been diamond 3-asc 1 for about a year. I started valorant in 2020, when I first got a pc. I see people who were in plat or gold in my twitter feed a month or two ago now thrive in immortal. I don't know what I do wrong. I have thousands probably of hours in this game. Level 227 and I'm still in this rank. But, even though I see my rank not move, I see my improvement and seeing this just reminds me of what I need to do. I focus way to heavily outside on others and not enough on myself and doing the right thing of playing more and more, even if its longer than it takes others.
a mindset like that is definitely a big contributor to what could be holding you back. just grind man.
great video! also whats the crosshair you used in the first clip?
i looked through and i don't think i have it anymore, but it's just a small yellow cross with full outlines on. thanks for the kind words and the comment!
its true aim is not the most important thing, if i am not hitting my shots one day i play support characters and just set my teammates up or play judge in offangles and it works fantastic. Asc 2 here good video man
thank you appreciate it
Hi, i was hard stuck silver ever since the game came out, I would top frag most of my games but I just couldn't get out silver, I started actually putting in more time and rewatching my games and it helped a lot, in a day I went from silver 2 to plat 1
congrats
@@wavytaeb thank u
Big W video, here’s a sub
means the world, i really appreciate the love
I do agree with you more then the other guy, but what he said does have some bases (imo, I'm bad tho)
1. your eyes actually matter, i think the most important thing is to not let your crosshair float around the screen if there is ANY chance of an enemies appearing, for that, looking at your crosshair is important, besides, you have a much faster reaction timing to shoot whole holding an angle if you are looking where your aiming (of course you don't look to your crosshair everytime, but its good to take cover before looking to the minimap for example)
2. I don't think he is referring to autopiloting when he says to play without thinking, I think he is referring to flow state (I might be wrong), even then he would be wrong, I think there is just a portion of the pro players that can enter flow state consistently, even high elo players only do it ever once in a while
that said, awesome video, your tips are actually good and the video was great.
Just a quick tip for my guys trying to rank up (it got me from silver to Plat 3 in bout 2 months, I still not good and my aim is shit, if I did it you can do as well) play with intent, if your aiming somewhere have a reason, if your looking alway from your crosshair you should have a motive to, if your pressing a key think about why, when your swinging know why you are swinging, this is the meaning of not playing autopiloting. Take countious decisions as often as possible and if you fail undersant why, when you succeed try to think if it was cause the play was good or it was an enemie mistake. If every step you take is a learning step you be griding in no time, no matter how bad your teammates are.
thanks for the in depth comment and your feedback! appreciate it!
I’m new I’ve only been playing for 3 days and this video changed my beginning mindset
Very good
Yeah can actually confirm i’m not great at Valorant but i have around 6K hours in rocket league (GC3/SSL top100 ) and i’m good at the game just because i played that much i didn’t take any shortcut(because there are none although i tried to find them many times), i carefully watched pros and my own vods for hundreds of hours and here i am. Been playing since 2016-2017 *consistently*
my friend jordan is cracked at rocket league
instantly subbed after this vid
thank you!!
