you arent hardstuck you just havent put in enough playtime, your tracker literally looks like mine minus 200 hours of playtime: https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/akcolade%23oink/performance?platform=pc&playlist=competitive&season=16118998-4705-5813-86dd-0292a2439d90

Make the tp make a sound and it might be a solid balanced character

147 157 157 139 and average of 154
480hz oled so kinda cheating

I think the ideal solution is to have a fragging igl (2024 johnqt) with a good mid rounder like sacy

Honestly demon1 needs to just spam iso on every map he’s the perfect guy for it and it seems to be pretty viable rn

As a human being I need it to be 13 rounds for my attention span and honestly just make the ot an extra round on each side 2-2 instead of 1-1 and let people start at like 5 orbs off ult

Cloud9 no explanation needed

most teams run double initiator wdym?

nrg really wouldnt be any better off - the individual mechanics seems like the failing point of the team not strats

Sentinels > MIBR just because of the new player adjustment period + more firepower
Loud and 100t over kru since kru only plays good at the end of the year when they get more playtime in

Anti-ecos have a high win probability and generally tend to happen after you win a round so I would worry that anti-ecos would skew the data. If you have any way of only counting only gun rounds that would be optimal but I have no idea what data set you have available. Very cool project nonetheless, good luck with it

No its not placebo i have more accurate long flicks due to better peripheral vision on smaller monitors and better micro flicks on large monitors due to target size. I have aimlabs scores that i struggle to beat on certain monitors but are easy on others

the jump down feels nice but it is not a tangible gameplay difference like 64 tick vs 128 tick smoke lineups

additionally most aim training scenarios promote high sens

practicing aim on high sens is far more fun than low sens so perhaps high sens players get more aim practice in

You’re supposed to watch the Super Bowl for the ads

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t tejo rockets break chamber tp making him useless?

my thought process is that you would be able to use him to role compress those 3 agents out of the meta and instead bring a second smoke or second sentinal. Neons stun is already a very strong ability so i wouldnt discredit the pocket stun

He has a scan with the drone and has rockets to use as shock darts so tejo covers sova's niche. I think tejo will more stronger synergize with movement duelists since like breach he has major range. Tejo role compresses all of the best aspects of breach, sova and kayo which is a little broken.

I had that happen when i first started aim training: To solve this I lowered my sens to like 60-75% of normal and slowly raised my sens over the course of a year until i was back up to the same sens. You are definitely putting too much stress on the wrist.

Hi, hope youre having a good day.

watch drx vs geng from earlier today, it was so fun to watch

They have the core of oxygen so I'd assume they get oxygen's slot but idk how it all works

id love to proven wrong since kru is far more fun to watch than most teams

I mean that they don't play off each other as much as other teams. Their success is wholly reliant on individual popoffs in stark contrast to g2.

I feel like the most important factor to making it through iron-plat is just to abuse the most powerful character in the game. I abused chamber when he was meta to get out of silver and id recommend using neon to do the same. Aim training was my other way out of that hellhole. Just focus on yourself and try to ignore bad teammates. Finding a duo is tricky and I've had mixed results but its worth a try. GL

G2 - best team last year and got an upgrade - all players contribute to round wins
NRG - best team of the offseason - all players contribute to round wins
SEN - best team in the region on paper but rely on zekken too much
MIBR - Aspas made lev relevant and will probably take MIBR to champs on last seed at the end of the year
LEV - good roster on paper but inconsistent pieces, so literally the same as 100t
100T - good roster on paper but inconsistent pieces, so the same as lev
KRÜ - have all the pieces but no synergy
2G - look promising but wont be as good as top tier teams
EG - honestly who knows, yay looks good and potter can cook
C9 - will probably get an upset here or there but its literally just an oxy 1v5
LOUD - Lost Saadhak and less, its hard to see how they will be as good
FUR - did not look good last year and did not make a major change

the clips were so fishy i legit also wondered if he was cheating

Mada has insane mechanics and solid decision making so I'd take him. Jawg tends to overheat in big moments but they are both world class duelists

I feel like every big sport has a memorable orchestra piece like the olympics, different american football channels have intro pieces, baseball has an iconic melody. Valorant would defintely benefit from one. Honestly most intelligence thread ive ever seen on vlr +1

cant fault it if it works

Covid happened

Warm up on the lower sens for the first half of your warm up, and swap to the higher sens in for the second half of your warmup and keep it at the higher sens for ingame. The same problem of inconsistent sens applies to me as well.

Hi

I swap a fair bit but currently at .45 800 and 3072x1728 but sometimes I go to .4 800 or 1920x1080
Pulsar x2v2 with a Saturn mousepad

The mollies i guess can be used as post plant stall but yeah they arent that good

if you dont have an x3d chip then a 4080/4090 is not worth it

Yeah i've used 120, 144, 165, 240 and on 480 currently and it hasnt ever made me better at the game. I can get a measurable difference with the reaction time test website though (probably about -10 to -20 ms but seeing as the human response of aim and shooting at a target takes around 500 ms for me it probably doesnt make that big of a difference). I love having 480hz for aimlabs though.

Unless you take openers for your team, it doesnt make a major difference

When I watch lev play, they entry off of committee where everyone seems to entry and get first kills. It is rarely Aspas taking the first engagements outside of his neon maps like sunset and lotus. Tex oftentimes comes up with more opening engagements than aspas. When lev win atk side its off of tex and mazino finding openings and when they arent performing they tend to lose out on atk side.

In contrast zekken takes virtually every opening engagement on sentinels which makes it easier to support him. Sentinels players have the highest assist numbers due to this playstyle difference.

I've concluded that while Aspas is an excellent player on ct side (probably the best in the world) he relies a lot on his teammates for opening engagements. When you have mazino and tex entrying they cant throw util to support. I think you have misconceptions based on the playstyle of lev. They play differently compared to other top teams and you cannot compare players off of assist numbers without taking into account playstyle.

you need to get a usb c to displayport cable which was annoying but other than that it worked nicely

Zellsis > Ethan due to his role flexibility, Ethan is probably the better initiator but its close enough that it likely would not make or break a team. Role flexibility is far more valuable than performance on one role in the current shifting meta. If we had a stagnant chamber meta again then I take Ethan but otherwise I take Zellsis for his solid performance on initiator and solid performances on other agents.

I have the 2023 Asus zephyrus g14 and the 14 in screen is far too small for gaming. I would recommend an external monitor if you wanted to game with it. Battery life is going to be roughly in the 7 hours range if you use it on a regular screen brightness at 60hz (up to 9-10 hours if you are afk the whole time but nobody ever is). Decent laptop for the money but I bought a surface pro and use that for schoolwork instead since I can handwrite notes on it. I only bought the g14 for engineering classes. If you are gaming on it a lot, then I would probably recommend getting a 4070 laptop but I personally have a pc so all I ever needed was a 4060 for light gaming on the go.
