I have been stuck silver for some reason guys
I think I am good at other game (Faceit lvl 8 in CS) but somehow I am stuck in low rank in valorant, when I ask reddit for help they give 0 good advice.
I think I have decent reaction time: https://imgur.com/a/XbOrLB4

ur KD is bad and ur KAST is trash ur probably dying in 1v1s isolated from ur team and leaving them in a disadvantage
I get you play senti and might be holding a site alone but you need to play more safe and behind your util more probably

single digit kills in silver might be time to call it wraps

Your HS% seems quite mediocre, if your reaction times are as good as you say then having a good crosshair placement (been said like a billion times I know) will really help you get kills

Can't say much else because you are a sentinel main and I play like omen sova (also I'm bad as well)

I think I play alot of CS before so muscle memory is to just spray.

as well as what hhide said, you need to work on crosshair and hitting headshots. from your tracker, your hs% is quite low, which is not very good. i think your problem is youre applying cs shooting tactics (more about spraying and spray control) to valorant, which doesnt have the same principle of shooting (headshots on most weapons kill/almost kill you in one shot, which is probably what youre dying to. playing deathmatch and focusing on trying to hit headshots will probably be your best bet to improve. this seems, from your tracker, like your only real problem. you arent swapping roles to fit other people, youre doing everything else visible from your tracker right, its just the headshots you need to work on. once i fully fixed that (as well as more gamesense as i played more), i got out of bronze and almost to plat, and i think you can do the same.

apart from what everyone typed here.. why would you chose sage on pearl with a cypher on the squad.. i think its the worst agent in the pool of sentinels with maybe being useful on 2 maps of icebox and split.. basically your knowledge of the game/meta and your mechanical skills are all pretty trash

yeah idk man I am still learning about the different agents and abilities its quite complicated

you can abuse these agents till atleast diamond - ascendent : reyna (nobody shoots her blind in low elo), jett, chamber (aggressive angles), pheonix - god flash on maps like split, pearl and can be useful on heaven to clear close corners.. if you have to fill smokes just pick clove and use smokes for your own advantage

u can do all of the above until u hit a rank where kids start complaining about it... just play independent for kills until you need team play

if i were you, focus on macro and aim because silver players dont punish you alot like be real with me they arent cooking something up

also its either your spraying alot (cs mechanics didnt translate to val properly)

also play agents that is gonna help you, dont care about team, play agents that can help you take gun fights like jett, reyna, maybe even chamber and waylay

also just ego peek everyone, they are aiming at the floor,

Watch Radiant VODs.
Learn movement, learn how to deadzone.
DM/TDM more often.

After that:
Aimtrain a bit before games / do some 10-15min routine in practice range after games.
Learn more Cypher setups.

Don't forget:
Trade your teammates, if nobody wants to entry on attack, try to lurk.
Don't be aggressive alone without info, dont dry swing chokes, but also don't be a p*ssy Cypher main who can't peek.

240 hz and you're stuck in silver, skill issue dude becuz you can shit on ppl in silver wth decent aim and decent game awareness but looks like you have bronze aim.
