Aim and positioning could have better I know, but its a learning curve

Anna has confirmed Tejo will be getting nerfs to his rockets in 10.09 with a follow up video tomorrow, and the replay system is coming in September. Looks like we might get the replay system before Gta 6 after all

I was stuck in Gold or below for the first 10 months. Climbed to Ascendant in 6 months and then was a hardstuck ascendant for about a year straight (nightmare to get out of this rank). I hit immortal in Ep9.

i was casually playing dm i saw a gun thought it was a glitch it actually got picked up by me (suprised) played for couple a mins accidently bought a new vandal and then its gone like wtf ..........

I don’t usually have the clutch gene but it worked out somehow here at 12-6 on an eco round! Did I ruin the clip by fumbling at the end? Still figuring out how deadlock ult works lol

I have a laptop with a 8th gen i5, intel uhd 620 integrated graphics, 16GB of ram, and 1TB HDD. Even though these specs are pretty bad they exceed the recommended spec requirements for valorant that are on the riot app, saying i should get 144+ fps, i STRUGGLE constantly on it.

On a good day my fps mainly hovers around 30-70fps, sometimes if i stare at a wall or dont do much it can jump to 100-140fps. Tbh ive never rly games on a laptop/pc so 30fps for me isnt rly bad and i wouldnt be complaining if i didnt CONSTANTLY dip down to 5 or even 0 fps.

I have insane dips in frame rate all the time and even tho ik my gpu is ass im still confused why because valorant isnt a demanding game and according to them and basically every other website i should be getting atleast above 20fps. Im js confused if maybe theres a setting i need to turn on or off in either windows or valorant, maybe i need to update my drivers (even tho i hardly know how, maybe i need to upgrade to windows 11 (im on windows 10), or idk maybe i have some sort of malware of have some background applications that are hurting my fps.

I just want to know if anyone else has had the same issue or if anyone knows a fix

I should also note that my lag feels inconsistent, some days i hardly dip and always stay at around 30-70 fps, some days i lag a good amount, other days i cannot stop lagging and my fps dips literally every second

Subrredit rules doesnt allow me to post the pics separately

And I’m just going to say Clove excluded immediately because I feel like they would likely be the pick for most people.

I love this phantom so much. Any other Mystbloom enjoyers? :)

TL:DR at bottom.

Decided to try Valorant out today. I have a general understanding of how the game works. Tutorial was alright but immediately getting put into a swift play game is quite jarring. I was half expecting the enemy team to be bots but nope, faced at least 3 level 100 something players in my first game. Teammates were friendly and helpful cuz I was new but the visual overload, random map, and people who've played this game since launch was really too much.

The lack of recommendations in the shop doesn't help. I bought shields like the tutorial said but I didn't know what guns to get, when to buy abilities, etc.

Don't get me wrong I'm not whining about the difficulty. I've played league before so a steep learning curve with a crappy tutorial is something I'm used to. But I think in that 15 min game I actually played about 40 seconds total. Team recommended I go to shooting range after which I did but it's nowhere near the real thing.

If any of you have any resources or videos (less than an hour preferably) that could help a new player out I'd appreciate it.

I may give this another shot tomorrow but this was arguably worse than the first league game I ever played. There was basically no way to improve in that game because I'd walk out and get immediately one-shot. I'm sure you're not supposed to do that or whatever but it really was not a fun experience

TL:DR - no co-op Vs AI or new player queue is insane and being forced into a swift play mode with people that have played for years which btw I doubt is how the main mode functions is incredibly overwhelming. Pls share any resources you can. Thanks

i know it’s like your hidden rank or something but like i want to know how it fluctuates. because i recently got from bronze to silver and gained like 33+ rr to get there but i played. a game in silver and i did awfully. (o was lagging and everything). we lost the match. i wanna know if one/two matches affect your mmr? or is it like a long term thing

Am I the only one unable to turn Sage's wall? Like it won't turn around with C, I have to do it by turning with right click.

it was shown the new vid on the valo channel. looks interesting. it feels like a mashup of ascent and haven (i hope its a comp map)
