the game is just so slick for this early stage, the menus are so good. I think it looks a lot better in person than on stream. I have no problem with the looks.

The main menu music is so bad though.

Played two tonight, won two. Ooooh yeah. Brimstone is basically CS:GO Guy which I like. Smokes and mollies.

Game will shine when half the team isn't a pug though. Nobody is talking it seems.
Opposite for me all my teams I've played with have been communicating.

Just dropped a 20 kill game, think I'm getting used to it.

I love that voice command wheel option with all sort of handy commands. Special love for the "Be quiet" command, that will surely come in handy when dead spectators want to micromanage your clutch.

I wish there was a way to see that I am actually in the running for drops. I feel like something is wrong.

Fuck I hate this shit so much.

One thing I'm not too hot on are the map visuals, the different art packs are pretty much the same which is quite disappointing. The designs seem good, it should really launch with at least 5 though.

Can anyone connect? I'm getting various errors when launching the client.

My last match's results didn't track, so no XP, and text chat still isn't working. Waiting until servers seem to restabilize to get back in.

This game feels quite damned good. I'm garbage-tier at CS, but while I'm not much better here, I like the hero-class stuff in terms of giving me other ways to contribute in given situations. Feels good, man.

As long as your twitch player is not muted and it shows Drops enabled! below the stream, you're in the running. It says something else there when something is wrong in the setup.

But aren't there all sorts of hidden rules like can't be muted, can't be AFK, etc? How do I know my Riot account and everything is linked correctly? I want to see like a green check mark that says yeah, you are in the running but you didn't get it. Like show exactly when drops go out and that I failed the roll or whatever. I don't trust any of this shit.

The "Drops enabled!" is not always there for everyone, it's only there after you link your account correctly. And the mute thing seems to be the only rule, everything else goes as long as the stream is run.

No, put it at 160p and mute the sound on the tab (not the videoplayer) and go do something else in the PC without worry.

I can already tell I'm going to not like this game because of sniper weapons.

Last 5 rounds died from same sniper. Point blank? She wins. Long range? She wins. One hit kill. Simply not fun.

So I downloaded the beta and restarted my computer. I'm getting the following message after logging in to my account: "This is an unsupported combination of region and operating system." Anyone know what's up?

Login servers seem to be down. I took a break for dinner but came back and now can't get into the game.

At first look, I was all like : This is looks really bad
After playing it for 13 hours : This is really badass.

This is good. This will hit all the CS player's for sure.

Where does it say that the stream must not be muted by the way ?

Nah, Dirty Bomb was faster pace I feel with all the long jumps and wall jumps.
I guess I mean the abilities portion. Brimstone and his abilities, for example, seem like he jumped right out of Dirty Bomb.

I think snipers should seem less threatening in most contexts as players learn their kits better. Snipers have the advantage that sniping in this game is basically exactly like sniping in other games, and the advantage that the most profound counters to snipers in this game are more specific to this game, meaning it's something that players will have to build skill and familiarity with through playing Valorant in particular. counter-sniping will scale powerfully off of players getting better at recognizing the right times to use their abilities—sniping will not so much, I think

I legit feel sorry for some of the people I kill in this game, years of CS aiming seems to be instantly paying off in this.

I can't tell if he's genuinely mad or if that's part of his character.

No, he 1000% hates this game lol

But, it's not his style of game. He's more into fast-paced BR's. It also doesn't help him that a lot of people playing early today were really good CS players.

obv 90% of players (me included) are bad and new but i've found that a lot of snipers are often easily defeated by "walking sideways"

The game is DX11 so you must be on Windows 7+.

The game is currently NA & EU only so if you're not in NA or EU you can't play.

Only things I can think of.

Be sure to kill the Riotclient process in the task manager after you stop playing guys. It keep giving your cpu a huge workout. I hope they fix that soon.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I think he does a great job with the production of his stream, but he really doesn't have the skills that many other FPS streamers have (Shroud, Summit, Seagull, Ska, etc).

Does it do that with LoL as well? Damn. Well, the game won't start for me unless I restart the client anyway, so... Also I just can't get in at all right now.

This is just a really crappy and I almost say scammy system to take advantage of people to bump the game up on the Twitch viewer list. I know 8 people who have had the stream up all day today and none of us have got a key...
