/val/: Valorant
I have an AMD Ryzen 7 8845 w/ Radeon 780M Graphics and 16 GB of RAM. What changes do /vm/ recommend me to improve the quality of my games in ranked?

Also, Valorant thread. What are your lore implications for the Act 3?

phenom2 rx470 8gb ram ** 60hz monitor **
the monitor almost makes it unplayable, everything else is fine

I can easily tell when Im playing against skilled people and when Im playing against people with 300+ hz screens

its night and day
if its a skilled person with good pc, its unplayable, you just get insta-shot everywhere before you can see them on your screen

everything else is manageable

How are battle score and RR supposed to take into account difficult to quantify contributions such as KJ deterring a team from even approaching a site or Viper stalling a chokepoint for 30 seconds straight?
Like, nobody expects any given lockdown to actually hit someone, it just swings the round entirely in your favor. But how can you measure the effect of something like that?

Agent: Dice
Role: Controller
Theme: Time manipulation, shapes rounds by bending seconds.

Basic Abilities

1. Fast Forward
Trap that banishes whoever steps on it into a timeout zone for 5 seconds.
After the duration, they reappear at the same spot.

2. Rewind
Sends whoever steps on the zone 5 seconds back into a past position.

3. 555
On activation, for 5 seconds, all status changes (damage, healing, buffs/debuffs) are delayed by 5 seconds.

Ultimate: "Unpredictable"
Rewinds the entire game by 10 seconds.
No exceptions: player positions, health, abilities, consumables, spike state and map conditions are all reset.
A total redo of the last 10 seconds, the definition of unpredictability.

Ultimate stack resolution:
00:00 dice 1 ults
-00:10
-00:09 dice 2 ults
since "00:01" never existed the clock runs back to "-00:19" instead of to what would have been "one second into a future that had never happened" and it would look to players as if the game had rewound nineteen seconds but to the characters no one had seen how the future after "-00:19" had been erased.

Ultimate voicelines:
team: "Insanity is repetition."
enemy: "We’re all mad here."

Voicelines:
"everyone wants to try again until they do"
"time only goes forward to you"
"it's usually cheap to think, buy it"
"you thought it was a good idea again"
"this failed but you wanted to know how"
"you won but you wanted to erase evidence"
"funny, you load your weapons"

Yoru is the "holy shit I'm so fucking good at this game I am outplaying the shit out of you right now.

I think there are characters that does what he does but easier but Yoru has a good flashbang and his tricks can really psyche an opponent out.

Chamber is all about aim, that's all he does. All of his abilities are about getting good weapons earlier than his teammates and giving him a slight edge in holding a position. If you're doing well, expect to be asked for weapons a lot since you have a revolver and Op in your toolkit by default.

why does discussion of this game seem completely dead not just here but even on spaces like leddit?
just seems weird compared to how much the game has blown up over the years

I don't really think it's that dead on reddit, it's just that game subreddits are a lot less active than they used to be.
I assume the discussion is on twitter or discord instead.

The game is just stale af, the ranked experience has never been worse, last few agents have been underwhelming, still no improvement on maps, match fixing scandal, huge lack crease in cheaters, many content creators just quitting or going more into variety, underwhelming 5 year anniversary, trash agent balance (took them like 2 years to rework Harbor lmao) the game’s image is just fucked

The game appeals to a very specific kind of young person who is "Tumblr woke (likes shallow diversity where everyone is still hot even if they're not showing skin)" and if you're not that you're here because:

-you specifically like CS with character abilities instead of universal util
-you heard that Vanguard is the best anti-cheat and you're so god damn tired of cheating in online games
-you heard there's a lot of girls playing this game and you find The Sims and MMOs to be too boring to be worth the effort

A bunch of my friends also play it because they're scared of playing CS and see Valorant as a more casual alternative.

He's way more viewers on average than most of the big valorant streamers, he also has his own CS pro team. He clearly was paid by Riot to try and bring in more viewers. It's plain to see that the game is not bring it in the money/viewers/players they were expecting to get this year

yeah its looking like a broken addition and necessary choice which is really stupid. I hate HAVING to have a certain agent in a comp and this one seems like theyre trying to cater to casuals even harder. maybe they are trying to bring down the util execute visual garbage, but its a really lazy way to do it.

so hes a nullifying agent, ok.... we already have Kayo, but now its retard proof so who cares about lineups.

theres already a seize ability... so heres a new one I guess.

it thematically doesnt even make sense for him to have a teleport. like why? what does teleporting have to do with nullifying util?

the nullifying orbs are at least dependant on where you place them and activating them with knowledge and intuition, but they could be balanced even further.

the ult is the ultimate NO U at the click of a button.

>Vyse
People were scared she would be broken but everyone forgot about her when it turned out Cypher and KJ are still the king and queen of sentinels.

>Tejo
Stupidly OP on release, he has the best molotovs in the game which eventually got a righteous nerf. He still has the best scouter drone by the way but don't tell anybody.

>Waylay
A strange mishmash of Jett, Chamber and Neon, her shtick is jumping in, hopefully getting a kill then teleporting back out and then all you have left is a conc nade. Largely forgotten because she doesn't do any specific thing as well as Jett, Chamber or Neon.

>Veto
Freshly released. The initial impression is that he's buttfucking broken; he has 2 rendezvous anchors, an alarm bot except better and most importantly, a projectile nullication sphere that ruins any attempt at using util to enter a site; His ult makes him immune to ALL utility for the ENTIRE ROUND... for only 7 ult points . If that wasn't enough, he also gets a combat stim and out-of-combat health regen.

Veto will probably be nerfed after a few months of everyone pointing out how freaking obviously imba he is, but we all know Riot is doing this shit on purpose to tempt players back in with the allure of easy wins in ranked in order to revive interest in the game.

is very accurate. two abilities devoted to her dive in/jump back sucks up a lot of her kit, which is too much without fully committing to that dive playstyle

I picked Yoru, then proceeded to win 6 games in a row with him, game 7 was lost because of an afk; then I won another 3 games with Yoru before finally losing fair and square in game 10.

My favorite trick is throwing out a gatecrash in plain sight and baiting an enemy into camping my tele for 20+ seconds, effectively taking them out of the fight while my team takes site on the other side of the map. How the fuck is Yoru still allowed to have 2 gatecrashes?
