Hey im just wondering. Valorant is really my first tact shooter and i was wondering whats the way to get an advantage on attack side. on defence u hold passively but whats the best way of winning on offence
@@rubyfalcon use your smokes and flashes area denial etc to clear enemies out of power positions and reduce the angles you have to check. Then once you get a kill capitalize on it and push to take over the site. essentially you are looking for a way to break the enemies defensive line and you need to push in when you do otherwise you give them time to come back and fix that break in their defense.
Because that is the best way to play this game, you badly need info on defense and you can take it super slow on attack in this game. Even though the guys you are playing with probably don't know that.
Defense is almost always camping an angle to stop rushes. And when people rush. They think staying alive is the best outcome. Getting kills is the best outcome, whether you die or not.
A really good way to practice checking corners is to go into Practice Mode and play Spike Plant and Spike Defuse. Go from Easy, Medium, then Hard. Try it with different scenarios too. Like one with full abilities/armor, and one with no armor/abilities, and with different guns. It's really good for practicing movement too. Practice jiggle peeking, counter-strafing etc.. The bots also change positions everytime so you don't always know which angles they're going to be.
Yea the problem with those practice modes tho is that its always the same AMMOUNT of bots per run, and there is only so many places they can stand so you get in to the habbit of just checking where they can spawn rather than every single angle. And spike plant practice bots are dumb as bricks, they just rush the site and go straight for the defuse which makes them predictable. They really need to improve those tools.
@@Vennnaya the bots have a chance to spawn in all the angles, the reason that having a fixed amount of bots per round is bad is only because you don't have a scoreboard or kill feed. If you had those then it would be a better experience but it still shows you the basics of checking corners.
Coming from Overwatch, I feel like I always have to be doing something. Overwatch is a... dense game. There’s always multiple things going on very quickly and if you aren’t being proactive and taking action, you’re starting to lose. On both sides in Valorant, I try taking engagements early, usually thought out using info and utility, but a lot of the time it doesn’t work out. Even if I get that frag, I usually get traded out (which is why I gravitate towards Jett who can escape, also her ult feels very Overwatch-y). This video helped me consciously realize how I need to adapt my play. I recently had the conclusion that I don’t always have to be doing something, many times waiting on a couple angles for an entire minute can be more beneficial than trying to make something happen, especially on defense. Also as I’m writing this- “playing for picks” doesn’t mean trying to force a situation where you can get a lead via a kill, but instead just waiting for a mistake to secure that kill. It’s actually more of a passive thing than an active one. Anyways, I hope my comment helped some people who come from OW and are finding themselves with similar issues.
i played overwatch early 2019, i was addicted to overwatch and always played it, since in overwatch there is no "spread" i would always shoot while moving, so i did the same thing in valorant, and welllllll my shots wont hit
I have loved all of your Valorant content so far and I don't want this to sound like all of your other videos are useless, they aren't they are very informative, but THIS is probably the best video you guys have produced for Valorant and I truly hope it circulates the interwebs and people learn from it and start evolving their gameplay because of it. Thanks for all your work so far and I look forward to more great content.
One of the most useful videos you guys have made (for me specifically). Using viewer vods to demonstrate common - yet unnoticed - mistakes, was really helpful.
Always makes me laugh when I'm attacking on Bind, the barriers drop and about 5 different things fly out of that Hookah doorway at once. Not too sure what they're trying to achieve.
Thank you so much I have terrible game sense for this type of game because I didn’t play cs much. This is my biggest weakness and hopefully I can implement this. Please do more stuff like this.
I might not need this info as a csgo player but I still appreciate you putting in the effort to help the new Valorant players, because I see these mistakes often. I'd even say I see aggressive defense more often than not.
Guys, to peek a multiple angle corner (the phoenix and sage situation) u can partially peek, peek just enough to see the boxes or who is behind them, then the second corner, the third and fourth, it is kind of situational so dont try it every time but it will help
The only thing I disagree with is the idea of peeking mid (ramps) at the start of the round. It can be very beneficial to aggress a pick on defence, especially if the enemy recognises you won't be holding hookah and overwhelm you by playing too passive. If we run though the possible angles as you said, the enemy will always appear at the left of the arch, so you will always have the right angle to prefire someone's head. Its very easy to smoke, molly and flash you out of passive angles that sometimes you got to push back or you won't be able to retake the site. There will sometimes be situations the enemy will always or never beat you in gunfights at (aka strengths and weaknesses). To recognise that is what makes you a good player, not following a strict set of rules that hold you back from fragging and holding more ground (exploring outside the basics makes you a better player). Furthermore about the floating point, I believe pheonix did the right move pushing the enemy brim on B long, but he did not know when to disengage, which was actually causing him to float on Mid for too long. You could argue I'm speaking from hindsight but good gamesense can run this scenario through your head after playing a few rounds. The enemy will sometimes form a split push too, which gives you the gamesense to understand someone will be isolated from the enemy team, this is the optimal chance to fish a pick as a defender and even flank a rotation. Remember that pheonix is a duelist, taking on 1v1's is his greatest strength, not sitting in CT with an AWP.
Dude, This video helps a lot. I'm used to shooters, have played them a long time, but to see the strategies or notes developed in another game, it's really useful. Yes some people could figure that out, but still it's pretty good material, and less hard work. Thanks.
Great video mate - it's hard for people to understand this and can see how new players get flustered when things like this aren't explained in a nice and simple way! Also I forget how natural this comes, when you've put a heavy amount of hours into FPS games.
Really convincing argument for not holding hookah so proactively. When I think about it, I get dumpstered trying to take and retake via hookah like 70% of the time. Conceding it for better anchor positions is big brain
Thank you for this! This is exactly what I'm looking for. I am brand new to PC and, obviously, valorant/CSGO. Wanting to see full games of new players critiqued by skilled players with recommended improvements.
Just got my first PC a couple days ago. Always played console shooters but wow I learned quick that my skill level in those games doesn’t translate to PC. Just the video I needed to step my game up - and what better time than during the beta!
If you place spike you don’t need to push everybody, just stay with spike and tell your teammate to cover every corner and play time, but instead everybody push and get kill in the process while the enemy is defusing.
i've played csgo for a bit and thats how i check corners on mirage and all the other maps but for some reason i find myself not doing it in valorant and i have no idea why
I seem to have gotten worse. I could literally peek mid from window on Haven and get an easy 1-tap. But now as soon as I try to hold and angle or spray battle someone, I always die. Often I get tapped in the head and I dont understand. Have I gotten worse or am I going against better players? We won 13-2 for example, but literally the next game we got stomped 13-2. I dont understand what I'm doing wrong.
Hey I have a problem my crosshair placement is good im always at head height and sometimes when they run right into my crosshair I get a easy one tap but when I flick I end up at chest height
That flash push was totally fine. They wouldn't expeect ct to push aggressively. He just didnt have the aim to back it up. Yea some people over do it but its not a bad thing to do otherwise. Peeking corners comes from experience. The more u play the more you will realise that youre getting killed from peeking this way or that way. Then u slowly adapt. But people dont play the game enough to get better usually. Most people just play for the fun.
It's funny how hard it is for new players to just hold sites. They feel they must immediately push if no enemy is seen. If you can manage to convince your team in a pub to play slow offense it's almost guaranteed to get you at least gold+
I don't necessarily agree that defense should just play defense. I come from cs, and r6, in which i think that it's best for 1 or 2 people to play aggressively. If you're too passive on defense, the offense will have a lot more space and would be able to rotate between sites, throwing you off.
I was an aggressive CS player who relied on simply outshooting the other team, I peaked at Supreme. Valorant is different in that once you have "lost" a gunfight (i.e. you haven't killed them and you've lost spray control) you can't escape because the movement speed is so slow. As a defensive player, use that slow movement speed AGAINST the attackers. Learn head-height crosshair placement and just one tap fools.
I wish they would make having a mic and having team coms on required for competitive. The amount of times ive told someone the location of enemy team only to find out they have no coms is so frustrating. Or people who play cypher and sova with no mic to relay there recon info. Its lost me so many close games. If they want to play with no coms make them go quick play
Is it weird that I've gotten a lot better about floating from the new MW? Like I know COD isn't exactly what you'd call a tactical shooter, but I feel like compared to past CODs positioning is actually pretty important
HOW do you get into these custom games with like open range settings, infinite ammo, no buy required, paused clock, regenerating enemy stuff like that? Can someone tell, please?
Don't think the play itself was wrong. The execution perhaps. Getting information, estabilishing map control, presenting a threat, they all sound like a good reason to make that peek.
one other thing i noticed pros do is if defending aggressively, never stay still, as soon as you get a kill move to a diffrent position, even by just jumping on or off a box , so you're not that predictable. safe to say that knowing all this stuff, actually doing it ingame is harder. for example i know where to put my crossai perfectly but still, in game i usually go for body instinctively. valorant is my fist tactical shooter too so yeah. it's tough
It happens to me when I play Solo Q that I am holding an angle that i don´t see the enemy coming from so I don´t trust my team to hold theirs and I feel the need to over agro to try to carry, putting myself in this exact situations. In offense is the other way because you feel like there is no way to break in without coordinating utility, which won´t happen in solo q, so you kind of wait for the deffenders to make a mistake.
You cant say "there is no need to push as defenders" u can play defensiv or agressiv, u can do a coordinated push to get map control and more info. what dinz and sova could have done is pushing out hookah, shooting an arrow like sova did to get info, use utility to control the door down ramp and peek long and get huge control over the map. this is of course only one example, but my point is there are many different tactics to hold angles or bombsites. COMMUNICATION IS KEY!
Soo the secret is to peek angles? Gotta work on that. I mean I am working on aim, on crosshair placement, and learn by my mistakes and I knew I have to work on peeking angles but I think I just wasnt doing it. Thanks man
this was really cool, we can all use advice like this. I was thinking you guys could so something like YO by letting people to submit their own games for review, though I could understand having too much footage to go through.
In the first example you are wrong, the arrow scouts no one in position 1 and 4 and you don hear steps so in that time nobody could be there and then you can clearly see that the shoots on the drone are coming from link so only 2 or 3 are the possible spots. Still not a better spot than sage but by a lot less than what you said...there are more signs to take in consideration in the fight 😉
1st example is bad, you had intel of where exactly the viper was. If your an aggressive player, the blind and peek is not a bad play if you can win it.
Im 3 mins into the video bare in mind im LEM on CS been playing for a while an i take alot of aggressive peaks with low probability but i have never thought of it like this ive always just shoulder peak to get info then prefire but you cant do that in this game so looking at it this way has shown me how i die often in this game due to aim punch an slower movement speeds so i need to be more careful
I thought i sucked until I lowered my mouse sensitivity. When we get panicked in a fight, overshooting our aim is detrimental. Now I'm at a lowered sens my aim feels "secure"
Am I the only one that thinks Phoenix flash should give a chance for the opposing side to have a chance to destroy it? Although it may be hard but, just my 2 cents i would like a chance to try and shoot it.. to destroy it if possible. although it may be hard to aim at it so quickly but atleast gives u a chance to counter it some how.. Or does it not take effect if you just turn around? havent tried turning around yet
This was really informative! My issues is that even if I take what I feel are the right peeks, my reaction time/aim just makes me die anyways hahaha. UGH.
It´s kind of the same for me I almost never win duels but with a little bit of ability use and hitting people of the back because of info and positioning I cheese some kills and end up second in the scoreboard. Try playing 5 stacks, having confidence in your mates makes it easier to hold an angle because you know thata there is someone covering the others. Also, try not being the entry fragger, play in the back and follow up.
@@signetta6191 you can train reaction time by doing things like Human Benchmark's reaction test. granted it's not 100% accurate because of input delay but you'll get a good idea of where you're at. I'm sure you could knock your times down by using that tool.
I have bad reaction times. I see someone so then I have to process that they are there, aim, and shoot and they somehow kill me instantly. I also get shot through walls somehow, even though walls are for cover. They might be hacking.

RubyFalcon kill the enemies
@@rubyfalcon Use your utility to force defenders out from spots,smokes to cover vision...etc
@@rubyfalcon use your smokes and flashes area denial etc to clear enemies out of power positions and reduce the angles you have to check. Then once you get a kill capitalize on it and push to take over the site. essentially you are looking for a way to break the enemies defensive line and you need to push in when you do otherwise you give them time to come back and fix that break in their defense.
I see so many of my teammates playing over aggressive on defense, but once we get to offense everyone gets scared to push. It makes no sense to me.
Riot Phantom cause people are braindead on defense and dont know what to do
Cause you don't have spike
Because that is the best way to play this game, you badly need info on defense and you can take it super slow on attack in this game. Even though the guys you are playing with probably don't know that.

Man you really opened my eyes... I'm totaly guilty of doing this myself, keep those mistakes commin.
People play too offensively on defense way too much. Thanks for getting the message out
The game's about killing enemies before they kill you. That's why you run at them and shoot them.

Literally the best video on how to improve I've watched so far.
This is very useful for CS and Valorant and tbh this will give me a extra boost to my fragging in siege and possibly get me to higher plat

Awesome video! I'm seriously gonna approach corners differently from now on.
Really convincing argument for not holding hookah so proactively. When I think about it, I get dumpstered trying to take and retake via hookah like 70% of the time. Conceding it for better anchor positions is big brain

I know a lot of people are saying that people play too offensively on defense, but on EU servers it's basically "if you don't peek, you die"
In the first example you are wrong, the arrow scouts no one in position 1 and 4 and you don hear steps so in that time nobody could be there and then you can clearly see that the shoots on the drone are coming from link so only 2 or 3 are the possible spots.
Still not a better spot than sage but by a lot less than what you said...there are more signs to take in consideration in the fight 😉
1st example is bad, you had intel of where exactly the viper was. If your an aggressive player, the blind and peek is not a bad play if you can win it.
Im 3 mins into the video bare in mind im LEM on CS been playing for a while an i take alot of aggressive peaks with low probability but i have never thought of it like this ive always just shoulder peak to get info then prefire but you cant do that in this game so looking at it this way has shown me how i die often in this game due to aim punch an slower movement speeds so i need to be more careful
Good tips!
Thanks Hitscan, very cool!
What is the csgo workshop map?
thanks the tips are very helpfull
I'm so aware of all the information and all the things I have to know. The only problem I have is ping and accuracy.
I thought i sucked until I lowered my mouse sensitivity. When we get panicked in a fight, overshooting our aim is detrimental. Now I'm at a lowered sens my aim feels "secure"
what are your pc specs please tell me im looking for a pc
Am I the only one that thinks Phoenix flash should give a chance for the opposing side to have a chance to destroy it? Although it may be hard but, just my 2 cents i would like a chance to try and shoot it.. to destroy it if possible. although it may be hard to aim at it so quickly but atleast gives u a chance to counter it some how.. Or does it not take effect if you just turn around? havent tried turning around yet
its a flashbang, dude! If you give your back it gets countered 100%
This was great!
please more of these videos !
When you know most of this stuff and you're still Iron 1. Feels bad man.

@@hamooshmallah3557 The ranking system is fine. I got placed Bronze 1, and have gotten to Plat 1 so far
Good video 👍
This was really informative! My issues is that even if I take what I feel are the right peeks, my reaction time/aim just makes me die anyways hahaha. UGH.
make sure your mouse sensitivity is right and that your ping isnt that high, I'd say above 100ms gives you a clear disadvantage
@@cubaze5170 I have it set to what I'm "comfortable" with but I still always get out reacted. I dunno if this game is for me.
It´s kind of the same for me I almost never win duels but with a little bit of ability use and hitting people of the back because of info and positioning I cheese some kills and end up second in the scoreboard. Try playing 5 stacks, having confidence in your mates makes it easier to hold an angle because you know thata there is someone covering the others. Also, try not being the entry fragger, play in the back and follow up.
@@signetta6191 you can train reaction time by doing things like Human Benchmark's reaction test. granted it's not 100% accurate because of input delay but you'll get a good idea of where you're at. I'm sure you could knock your times down by using that tool.
I have bad reaction times. I see someone so then I have to process that they are there, aim, and shoot and they somehow kill me instantly. I also get shot through walls somehow, even though walls are for cover. They might be hacking.
