      I got into silver 20 days ago and I'm about to get into gold with maybe 4 more wins. I'm probably gonna need to better myself soon because I feel a plateau coming after I hit gold, because in whatever games I've played with golds I have a negative K/D

      'Filling' best applies in mid to hi elo, but if its just silver and below (maybe even gold), team comp doesnt matter. Focus on yourself: learn the mechanics and fundamentals, aim with precision, and of course, master one agent's set of utilities.
      You may not have the most meta in the next coming games, but in the long-run, you'll have mastered an agent that will adapt to any comp regardless

    @aayushh___ 3 роки тому +1

    Damn face reveal! Didn't expect that.
    This video doesn't really only apply to val, rather, I actually find it more useful in league. The first tip about only learning one agent really is not me, because I play a champion and as soon as I play badly I immediately switch to another completely different role the next match, but now that I think about it that's probably the reason why I'm not improving at one champion. The bit about spray and pray also somewhat applies as well, because I usually do my combos and use my utility decently, but if I get surprised(ganked from the jungle) I find myself just spamming keys and I eventually die. Next match I'll try to stay cool, play only one champ, and be more methodical rather than panicking. Thanks for the great video!

  • @YY-mk4ti
    @YY-mk4ti 2 роки тому

    Been playing Valorant for 1 month and 22 days as of now. Coming from Dota 2 I think my main problem is my mouse grip which I just found out literally just 5 hours ago. In Dota 2 you really don't need a strong mouse grip so I got used to a soft grip. It's just my guess but I was so inconsistent with how I used to hold my mouse, either I overflick or can't microflick even though I practice range everyday, my muscles just can't get used to it so I tried a stronger grip and I noticed a significant amount of control on my aim and I hit shots more consistent. If anyone has problems aiming, you probably just need a tighter grip.
    The one thing great about soft grip though is that I could play for hours and I barely feel any pain in my hand but with this tighter grip it's tiring and my hand hurts, probably not used to it yet. I hope it's worth the pain, will continue doing this and see if my aim improves.

  • @mooz2912
    @mooz2912 3 роки тому

    Great video but just wanted to say that one of the major difference in gun mechanic between csgo and valorant is that crouching does not affect the spray pattern. it makes you move slower therefore slower = less spread but it doesnt have any benefit compared to standing still.
    I'd suggest to only really crouch in these scenarios:
    1. Long range duel and youre trying to make it harder for your opponent to hit you (though moving out of the way and strafing would probably give you better results so its very situational)
    2. Trying to hide behind something like a box so you can't be seen
    3. Crouch under a trip wire
    4. Crouch to take Cover
    5. You can also crouch to mess up your opponents' aim (against better players) since theyre mostly going for your head but that means you are committing to kill them first so you can reposition, as said in the video its not a good strat but it is a possible strat but very situational because it doesnt help with spray at all

    @tmonVX 3 роки тому +1

    For me, as a beta player the map learning is no big deal but what I found to be very important is playing ranked. A lot of players only play unrated until they "feel good enough to play ranked". That's a huge mistake since you will never feel good enough PLUS you won't improve when not playing on people better than you. In unrated you won't try as hard and will most likely match up against enemies as good as you or even worse.
    So I guess my advice would be to focus on playing ranked and only using unrated to either test agents/maps/weapons/strategies or for warm-up. That way you will improve a lot faster.
