To be honest, I get you wholeheartedly brotha, fresh into val myself(2ish or more months now) and the matchmaking is definitely odd lol, me and my buddies tend to stack 3 or even 5 to avoid issues from randoms, I say the more the merrier so if you ever wanna try and get high quality games in(hopefully at least lol) we have a huge disc where we play most of the time, lmk if you wanna man! Nice video.
@@tylerfrederick1593 in my case im new but im not thaaat new lol some people dont have prior gaming knowledge at all. We've all been there but damn on my team? XD
not reallyy because of mmr your always gonna get people around your skill and if your low rank no one not even you will be consistent so you are winning because they are below you or your losing because you yourself are not putting in the time setting aside smurfs and throwers unless your getting a whole team of bad teammates if your skill is your rank a 5v4 is very possible if you have a bad teammate
As a degen of 300+ levels in valorant Istg the amount of times i have tilted to guys in my team saying "I don't care" or "Im just here for kills" MF WHY TF DID YOU QUEUE RANKEDD JUST GO AHEAD AND QUEUE UNRATED omg im just so done at this point
@@KaenKilledItfr even with all the problems Val has. It still way better than most fps nowadays. I can’t imagine playing cs,r6 and apex in 2024. Cheaters running every hour of the clock
I just had a game where we were losing 1-5 and three of my team mates decided to afk and leave. On the next the same thing happened to my opponents but two left and one was trolling his teammates as a phoenix by flashing and burning them.
me and my friends tried to 5 stack today, we're 3bronzes, one silver and one gold, they put us against 2 folks who were ascendant last act. matchmaking is so bad in this game rn.
I was a r6 player too have about 5k there, played cs over the years too, also Rust, dbd and tons of other games but Valorant.. Valorant is a different breed. Playing now since 2 months and Ranked, the community, the range, the prices of the skins is completely beyond sane. Started with rankee about 2-3 weeks ago and the amount of smurfs i see in every fucking lobby is CRAZY. If its Swift, Unranked or Ranked. In every fucking Lobby there is AT LEAST 1 guy with ~1000 Points in Ranked Stattracker. (Diamond Lobbys)
the throwing issue isnt normal at a higher rank, i am d2 i have seen it happen i think 3 times in my 400 hrs of ranked smurfing to boost your mates is a common thing but then again its very hard to stop smurfing and happens in any ranked game
I think the issue that you brought up with Valorant’s comp scene are all valid. I’ve been dealing with the same issues and I’ve mainly been playing solo queue this season. I think this type of behavior is anti social and because players can just make a new account for free, there’s no real repercussions.
Riot Games' is notorious for winner's queue and loser's queue, first league, now this. Some game's are complete landslides while some are complete wipe outs, the reason being which you listed. It gets slightly better when you rank up, but Valorant is still shit up in Immortal and especially Radiant . The devs care too much about the e-sports scene, so all agents end up getting nerfed instead of the weaker one's getting stronger. As someone who wasted the past few years in this game, stay away from it. It seemingly used to be fun during 2020, now it's not. There is literally no content (aside from overpriced skins that you can't even resell), and all the modes are just prep for comp. Play some indie games where they actually care for you, instead of these PvP games that steal our time and our money.
@@KaenKilledIt The reason I felt exausted was because I hit radiant several times with immortal sprinkled in. Point being that there is literally no incentive to hit those ranks. You get a lame ass gun buddy that stays the same each freeaking act. But take that with a grain of salt. If you do insist on getting better at valorant, then you gotta do a lot of aimtraining through aimlabs, but probably also focus on your ability game , movement, and gamesense as well. Since you're starting out in comp , you should probably focus on your aim the most though, since that's what a lot of players struggle with. Regardless good luck, but always remember to make sure you're enjoying the game, since fun is more important than some dumb pixels.
thereson i play valorant is the anticheat ,,,very rarely you will encounter a cheater and even if you get one he wont be cheating for long, almost every cheater i got was banned in game some later
Almost every time I lose my team is going negative with no mics..... or just blatantly choosing not to play with the team or try. It's just really depressing after a while.
Great Video, You get a like from me. But honestly it's really just a new player issue. Aside from the level most of the ranks a full of people with bad internet, computers, or just trynna waste some time. Its a hard game, it's not really a tradition heroes shooter but a tac shooter that happens to have the heroes subgenre. If you really wanna give the game a good try, get to silver 3 - Gold 3 (no idea where you are ranked), looking into the esport scene (I think you would like it), and Duo up. Take this with a grain of salt, I had .5 hours last act but I did peak immo 2 I just don't have many people to play with and SoloQ is a hell hole everyone must avoid.
I have been playing since pc beta, and I think you're just frustrated. Tbh, I've never encountered a lot of these things you said. but the community can be obnoxious, I agree on that
This is what happens whenever you try to appeal to everyone, you end up appealing to no one because even those that come in as "everyone" that you successfully appealed to, they wont be able to work together or think together or behave properly together, they shouldve picked a specific targetted audience and went off with them, but riot wants bigger which honestly.. isnt the best for the community
The more annoying thing i had to leave valorant when the match was 7 5 (it was unrated) every mode i got only 30minutes but ranked i got 24hours for it now imagine my pc lagged or time was up at an internet cafe its so lame my brother the very next day put unrated the pc lagged and guess what the same shit 30mins for everything but ranked 24hours is just overkill for something u never touched im not saying it should be 30mins maybe 12 or 6 but 48x times more?? Currently i have around 10hours left
As a veteran, it's because you're too low ranked mostly below gold people play casually and dont care much about afk bans and stuff, of course this stuff happens in high ranks too but its more rare. Matches get so much better after p3-d1 coz everyone wants to win. At the end of the day play if you enjoy the grind whats the point if youre not having fun
@@kushvalorant thank you for the kind words. Its been so long since ive ranked low in any game since im always em1 playing diamonds and champs in r6 ,casually playing a comp game doesnt cross my mind
A lot of people end up being hardstuck low ranks and purposely throw others games because other people do the same thing and then more and more people do the same thing
One more thing I don't like about this game. Constant rank resets. Like 3-4 times. As if the purpose is to make the rank more balanced and more challenging. No, it is not. It puts you at the rank that is one stage lower than previous act. For example last act I was peak Plat 3. Now after 5 game with 3 wins and 2 losses. Guess what riot gave me. Gold 1. I'm not even kidding. After that the queue is just worse because you're going to queue up with people that is autopilot most of the time. Who don't even know what they are even doing. I'm tired, angry and frustrated every time I play this game. I try to be positive but this game is just slapped me in the face. Not sure if I'm gonna be able to be in a eSports tournament for this game. Since it's always caters for the top players rather than the underdogs. Same shit with cs2. At least that game doesn't have constant rank reset. Idk man, rn I just more likely play Xdefiant cause it's more casual and at least have decent matchmaking rather than these "competitive" games
Bro I'm emerald every season but on my way to plat. My time in silver was 5 stack hackers every game.. thank you for the advice though, im kinda done with siege until real solutions come in

And even tough cheating is not that big of a problem, boosting and buying accounts is still a big problem of in Valorant
100% coming from R6 tho its either this or hackers 247 haha
I’ve had people troll to have fun in comp. Or e daters boosting just to lose the rr in a week.
That cant be a good time lol

Yeah I'm like brand new.. seems like most throw here
Period nice video :)

So have I lol

well said my man.
