VALORANT |OT| Super High Level Tactics

Oh I meant just in general. OCE opened and I could not launch whatsoever. Vanguard :<
the region is corrected, but the game shard is stuck on eu, and that's the server. Already did that stuff, but thanks tho fam 🙏🏽I don't think I can link to this page, but if you can get here on the Riot Valorant support site, you should be able to change it without waiting for support to respond.
My first game was a tedious classic; group of three all started off with "uninstall the game" and predictably escalated from there before quitting 6 rounds in. Does talking just show up on the sidebar? Would love to just report and mute but all of the trash happened while in the buy menu so it was hard to pay attention in the midst of all of the "new game everywhere" rush.
Thanks for sharing, explains why I could not launch the game after rebooting my computer!
Excited to give this game a shot - used to play CSGO a fair bit. Will be interesting to see if my Surface GO will be able to handle this game or not
When people talk their name shows up along the left-hand side while in-game (not during buy menu).
Yeah usually if it's a group of people being toxic then its hard to diffuse and you're better off muting
Nothing to cover? Smokes, flashbangs, teleports, walls. Pretty much every agent has some form of utility and some excel at pushing angles (i.e. Jett, Breach, Phoenix).
However, I will agree the community can be utter trash. Best bet is to make friends and play with people you know as much as possible. I've had some really pleasant games with nice players, but even more unpleasant games with toxic players.
Yup this is really annoying along with no FOV. Nobody cared about this stuff when I played competitively because most people played 4:3
Turn off the bloom in the options. It only makes it harder to aim.
Guns shoot in the same general pattern in Orange, and blue is how you move your mouse. For every gun only the first 3 or so bullets will be on the actual crosshair.
Unranked is always terrible in terms of matchmaking. Games will be A LOT better once ranked play is back in. Once I unlocked ranked games, the difference was night and day.
Looking into that. Was mostly salty about, on day 1 of a game's release from closed beta, already being harassed for not living up to some weirdly high standard.
A lot of games allow you to earn enough currency to purchase the next battle pass if you complete the current one.
In this case the only currency awarded is radianite, which is for customizing skins AFAIK.
I am loving spike rush as a solid warmup. I was waiting for a quicker version to just mess around vs actual players. I would still like to see spike rush rules but standard purchasing so one can practice with whatever gun they want to, but for now I like it a lot.
Who is a good agent to unlock first? i got into the beta fairly late and only got to try out raze who I thought was pretty fun.
Just played a match with some person who had one of the worst hoarse voices I've heard. People joked about it, then they said they had been out protesting last night.
Dang, they the real mvp.

What's your play style? I'm biased here, but Breach is an S tier hero if used correctly and is slept on hard. He can control so much of the map for so cheap, and risk free. He also isn't as reliant as some other agents on doing out of game research to hone your skills(sova arrows, omen one way smokes, viper walls etc)
Try them out in practice and see how you like their abilities.
Breach is very, very solid and would likely be my all around recommendation, though I haven't tried the new hero.
Raze is fun though. One nice little bonus is that her blast pack can boost her up on top of boxes and over sage walls, which can come in handy.
Cyper is easily one of the best, but he requires a lot of attention to play and you need to be social since you're your team's eyes and ears.
My personal pick though is going to be Omen. I picked him up late during the beta and I just completely fell in love with his tool set. Two free smokes that recharge over the round and can be cast across the map is just so good.
Huh? Unless something changed I'm pretty sure there's a randomized element to the spray patterns.Yup this is really annoying along with no FOV. Nobody cared about this stuff when I played competitively because most people played 4:3

Yeah heard the anti cheat is a pain in the arse for this game. Try updating your AMD graphics card driver and Windows 10.
The initial spray is set but later it goes rng. The chart is a solid start.
Honestly feel sorry for all you here who get matched with thewonandonly1 as the enemy... First match I went 2 kills 19 deaths so you better kiss your sorry ass goodbye if you see me out there 😂😂😂
I'm trash as this game haha it goes against every bone in my shooter instinct of running and gunning lol. Going to have to get use to it but it seems really fun!!

Kinda shameless how the guns work.
3rd game. Weapons are nearly 1:1 CSGO. Not really sure what ADS is for.

It really feels like you're punishing your own team if you're not good enough. I honestly don't know if I am loosing most matches on mere chance of being sorted into badly composed teams or if my general shit level of skill drags everyone else down. :(

Everyone has to learn the game. Best thing you can do is be cautious, stick by teammates, and provide intel if you can't kill em. MMR was also wiped so it'll take a bit before matches are more balanced.
The skill level is definitely wonky across the board right now; people in the beta eventually settled into those who knew how to use comms and how to play the map (which makes sense, since people with tac shooter experience were more likely to play), and now it's reset into people just 5 stacking into sites and being a random shoot fest. Give it time.
Probably a dumb question but how do I get my crosshair to just be a red dot that I see. I don't see it in the options and I've tried turning stuff off hha
Under the crosshair settings you have to change the opacity or size of the inner/outer lines to get them to go away but keep the dot.
Well I played a game. We lost.
Uh... I'm not sure about this. I like the art style and I like how it combines heroes with counter strike but like counter strike I think the base skill level required is simply too high for me. Often dying due to someone seeing a pixel of you and instantly getting a headshot.
I might try another match but for now, while it's a far jankier game with way less polish... I think I might stick to Warfare: Breakout for my Counter-Strike-like go to.

Good to know. I thought the direction at the top of the climb was RNG, but I'm guessing it's the sway after that point.
The updates since the beta are slick as hell. the new game mode is just ok, like being able to play for 10 mins at a time rather than 30 but still prefer the standard mode. they should probably implement something with respawns for people new to the game/trying to learn how to aim.
I had fun with the beta and it's running in glorious 60fps with almost everything on max setting on my Laptop, but I'm not used to play on mouse/keyboard at all so I suck pretty much in comparison to all the first person shooter gods (90% of players) out there and getting into it, finding people to play with, people you maybe stick to, without embarrassing yourself when you're the last one alive, was pretty hard and I dropped it in the end without finishing the beta challenges.
Thinking about to look into 1.0 again but I'm still not sure. It's uncomfortable to find people. :/

About the battlepass:
The contents are really good, but it's disappointing that you can't earn currency to get the next BP for "free". I also don't like that I can't see how much xp is needed for the later levels. I assume it'll go up exponentially and i would like to be able to tell how much time i need to invest.

3rd game. Weapons are nearly 1:1 CSGO. Not really sure what ADS is for.
ADS is good for longer range, and for alternate fire mode for some guns (e.g. Bulldog).
You have increased accuracy, a slower rate of fire, and a slower rate of movement. Your bullets also hit near your crosshair when in ADS instead of above your crosshair when you go full auto. Some guns are dramatically more accurate with ADS (like the two machine guns).
It really feels like you're punishing your own team if you're not good enough. I honestly don't know if I am loosing most matches on mere chance of being sorted into badly composed teams or if my general shit level of skill drags everyone else down. :(
Just use this time to learn the maps, the heroes, and gun mechanics while expecting non-existent matchmaking. Once ranked releases, you'll match with similarly skilled players which will make things a lot better.
Game feels great. Recommend turning off Bloom, off Distortion, and on Increase Clarity. Turn off all options that move your crosshair on movement or firing errors.
If you are dying too early, try to slow your roll a bit, watch other players' backs and stay on the defensive. You'll slowly improve.
