https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/Kalayavan%23ktpe/overview i have below 30% win rate its insane
I thought you were just mad about teammates and not looking into your own faults but 30% win rate with those stats is criminal
I didn't watch any because I don't think too much of clips in general I prefer general gameplay
tbh he has a point
like I remember one of them being a guy badly clearing an angle in a 1v5
he wasnt winning anyway
the only valid one was the yoru not holding your defuser, but that was at like 12-5 down too
There's a difference between baiting and playing for kills, and rushing in with no support util. Kanpeki makes a really good point of this in his latest video, do check that out if you haven't already
Also you're questioning Cypher, but tell me... what do you do in that situation?
didnt question cypher just really bad gameplay, cypher and skye should be playing together; cypher had lost after skye died. also its baiting when im waiting for util and it never arrives but im also njot supposed to dash in and get the first kill. its very hard
I agree that they should be playing together, but like... you know, it's plat. Not gonna happen 90% of the time, especially not without comms
+ you didn't clip the preround, so I have to ask: did you ask for util? Or did you just expect it? Because in the latter case you're 100% justified, but in the former you really do have to be the vocal one if you want support in most cases
let me give you an example of why its useless to even ask or give comms in these lobbies, https://streamable.com/9urhul
I get that, and there are always gonna be teammates like that. But in this clip in particular I found your comm kinda hard to make out, especially with the ping voiceline over top of your voice every time you tried to talk. I wouldn't've even known what you were trying to say if I wasn't familiar with that cam, if I'm being honest
Nice shot tho
i have my replay back voice low btw, the mic was at full threashold you can even hear some breathing if you listen, the sensitvity is high, i also havbe the ingame audio REALLY high, regardless though; i find it easier to just play senti/support roles more than duelist but i would have to pray to get a really good duelist
Gotta be more assertive and clear, i couldnt make out what you were hearing as Cloudberry mentioned
also its really bad if you keep the mentality of 'they won't listen so I won't bother to say anything'. It'll only benefit you if you say it. Worst case scenario they ignore you and you move on, best case scenario they listen.
You have nothing to lose by giving the comm
im sorry but if you want your teammates in this elo to do anything you need to talk to them like toddlers
these guys don’t have the mental bandwidth to understand concise comms
they also can’t be too complicated or they’ll just fuck it up anyway. shits like balancing an egg on a spoon
yeah very unfortunate, if i had more commitment or time to play the game id probably get a duo but honestly i just play whenever i comeback from work or after class
This is true
Bad comm: "Cam here"
Good comm: "Yo Cypher can you cam in this window? It'll clear Short." (You could also throw in a "I'm gonna dart Elbow" if you really want to)
Your stats are inflated by your defense halves. You’ve got 2/3 of your FBs on that half and 240 ACS compared to 209 ACS on attack. I’d wager that you’re either a baiter and your team suffers for it or you have awful pathing for site executes.
High individual stats but low win rate has nothing to do with shit teammates over a larger sample size — it just means that your kills have low impact. Either you’re getting them later into the round when you already have numbers advantage or they’re exit frags when you’ve already lost the round. I’d wager you do both since your K/D is so ridiculously high that you take literally no risks.
Also, high stats below Ascendant mean nothing if they don’t translate to rr gain. They’re only good relative to players of the same rank and it’s a clear sign of improper play that you need to identify when VOD reviewing. Blaming teammates gets you nowhere.
For context — my individual stats are far worse than yours but I convert my rounds because of decision making.
I main senti/semi smokes, ive only recently started playing duelist; but i can understand yeah my defense halfs are much better because its not really reliant on teammates having to help or set me up. attack wise is different, i was just told its better to play duelist until your high elo so rip
The point of that advice is get players to prioritize practicing their mechanics while gaining experience with committing to duels. That’s the deciding factor at lower ranks — can you convert your 50s?
Most sentinels/smokers play too passively and don’t know when to take risks simply because they don’t actively seek out fights. They also over rely on utility. Getting them to try out duelist helps combat these bad habits but isn’t a sure fire way to get them to climb.
My advice is to use this act to just send it on duelist and then slowly switch back to Sentinel and to start applying that aggression you’ve learned.
Ngl I played 1 game today and had a chamber with a 3-14 fk/fd ratio who was the highest ranking player in the lobby matchmaking actually sucks ass
