How has Neon been this strong for this long already?

https://reddit.com/link/1ght72q/video/w0m9hudjpgyd1/player

Very balanced and obviously very fair with counterplay, nerf Jett! With all seriousness, why haven't they done anything to balance Neon yet?

Just let me buy the skins I want.

I've been wanting to buy the kuronami vandal skin for a little over 2 months now, and haven't gotten it once. So i calculated the chance for me to get it and the result was that, i should get it about every 22 days. its been almost double that, still no skin.

Just make a public store where you can buy the skins you want, instead of having to wait and wait and wait.

Also who is in charge of making skins, The Rock? Since they are so overpriced. I could buy 4.2L of energy drinks or 16.35L of soda with that money.

Which Country Has The Best Prices For VP/Skins In The EU Region?

Greetings, first post here. I was wondering which country has the best prices for VP in the EU region. I play on Bahrain and Dubai servers and I was thinking of saving up money for a skin in the upcoming night market. I'm pretty broke so I'll be saving up money for a few months to get a vandal skin. So I was wondering if there was any way I could get the VP at a lower price point while staying in my servers so that I am able to play without lag. Thank you!

Hardstuck diamond for 2 years

been playing the game since episode 4. Took a long break for like a year and a half. I first hit diamond in episode 4, and since then i have never broken out of diamond. I’m always sitting from p3-d3. I have no issue getting to diamond, but for some reason the moment i hit it i just can’t break out of it. It’s not the players - i’m just extremely inconsistent due to mental. However, on my alt I am insane for some reason. Climbed from d1 to ascendant 2 in 3 days. It’s actually insane how much mental changes your game. Most games I just forget to actually think or to not be tilted. but those games i just remember to T up, i cook. I don’t bait, i understand the game to a very high level.

Deadlock is underrated

The Title. I believe that Deadlock is really strong as a defender. IMO, her ability to lock down a site is on par with even Cypher, and on attack, she is the best Sentinel to have for post-plant, with all her abilities being able to stall well.

The literal only reason people think she’s troll is because she can’t reliably watch flank, since her traps activate off of sound. If they didn’t, she would be the best Sentinel in the game.

Valorant has one of the weakest community when it comes to mental fortitude

It's unbelievable how many games could have been a W, but weak mental prevents from climbing. People lose their mind if you make a suggestion or ask a question. It legit feels impossible to climb to higher rank. It's also unrealistic to have to carry every game in order to win. It's a team based game. Every game feels like a gamble with my RR. There must be something developers can do about this. Maybe enforce 3-6 death match games in order to play comp

I'm fallen, and I can't get up!

Last year I was able to maintain my ascendant rank and have finally reached immo 1, but now I can't even leave diamond elo, is it still possible to reach immortal while solo or duo? I even see some players reach radiant while soloing (Might be a dumb question) I've been trying my best and still I'm going back and forth in diamond elo lol

How do I peek/swing?

I've been having trouble swinging and peeking, and I've always been getting one tapped as soon as I come around the corner, and sometimes it loses rounds and I get yelled at for it. Gold 2

why are people so unnecessarily mean in this game?

I literally just joined the LFG valorant server a few days ago so I'm still figuring out how it works, but I joined a 5 stack and it was one of my worst valorant experiences. No one was comming (myself included and I know even if I'm not playing my best, good comms can still be valuable. But I also get nervous comming as a girl because we all know how toxic this community can be especially towards women) and at a certain point one of the only other girls on the team starts yelling at me and telling me I suck and backseat gaming me the rest of the match. I didn't say anything because I didn't think it was worth responding to and it just got so bad to the point where I ended up just leaving the game on the last round. I'm so disappointed every time I queue with another girl and she turns out to be just as toxic if not more than the men that play this game. I know I shouldn't even be surprised at this point that this player base can be really nasty but I just don't understand how people can get so upset over a game and feel the need to belittle someone over their ability to play. I joined the server to find community and people to queue with and after this experience I already want to leave.

Over 3000 hours played, and this is my first ever redscreen

https://preview.redd.it/e9oqknmaffyd1.png?width=1916&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a114b0a53943dfd1818e202f84bd7f930c1869e

I didn't suspect anyone either. About 6 rounds in, nobody was popping off on either team. Wondering if anyone else has gone so long without getting a cheater mid-game or if I'm just lucky?

Valorant, come esco dal Gold?

Gioco a valorant da molto, nonostante le numerose ore di gioco accumulate nel corso degli anni non ho mai superato il Gold 1. Da non molto ho ricominciato ma impegnandomi di più facendo le mie sessioni su Aimlab, 2 o 3 Deathmatch prima delle Comp, mi alleno nel poligono, seguo video di coach su YouTube, insomma una grande rottura di palle.... Tutto ciò mi ha portato a gold3 per poi cadere a gold2. So che ci vuole tempo, dedizione, due mani, 10 dita, due occhi e bla bla...ma più di così che dovrei fare?

How do u micro adjust in game

How am I supposed to micro adjust when the opponent is strafing and does stand still. I’ve been having a hard time with hitting heads. Also if i’m strafing and the enemy is too it’s hard to hit them. Any tips to improve on this.

Valorant Console for handhelds?

With the uptake of handheld gaming, I hope there is a world in which Valorant console makes its way to handheld gaming (Steamdeck, ROG Ally X etc).

I understand handhelds act as mini PCs so I’m sure there are issues there, but a man can dream.

Is ranked less toxic than unrated? I've been noticing a negative mental shift.

I'm very high level (700) and the last few weeks I've noticed a sudden influx of toxic teammates using that as a talking point in unrated. More often than not I'll start a match and during the very first buy phase someone is pulling up my Tracker and flaming me for my rank, or my headshot percentage. I've even been flamed because someone asked me what guardian skin I had and I told them I haven't bought any guardian skins ("Yeah if I sucked as bad as you I wouldn't buy skins either, uninstall bro you're wasting your life"). A few days ago I ran matches non stop all morning, and I had ONE match out of SIX where my team was friendly. *ONE*.

I know what the knee jerk answer is, hide your level. If the level is hidden, nobody knows to flame me for it, sure. But it's not about that. I couldn't care less about being told I'm bad, it doesn't even phase me at this point. It's about the mindset that drives those comments. If you're going to flame me about my bad gameplay before the game even starts, you're going to flame me for anything and everything. You're queueing up praying and crossing your fingers hoping one of your teammates is bad enough to give you a reason. What is the point of playing a team game when you're constantly running into teammates like this? It's a joke.

TL;DR It just seems like Valorant is kind of pointless lately, in terms of teammates showing up ready to throw a game because they want to trololol. I was hoping to get some outside perspectives while I sit here seriously considering an uninstall. Is this a phase? Is it just my area (NA west)? Has there been some sort of mindset flip and maybe I should start running ranked? TIA for any input.

Cloves Smokes minimap Glitch?

I'm fairly new to valorant (couple of months). I recently started playing clove and have noticed that sometimes after I die the smokes minimap gets stuck in one spot. Either where I died, on one site (even if who I'm spectating isn't there) or it's just a random spot in the map. Have others encountered this? Is it a bug or?

I attempted to look up if others have encountered this glitch and couldn't find anything.

Am i just bad?

Something that has been fucking me in my games recently is cypher. I mainly play jett, sometimes yoru, and cypher trips feel so unfair to me. I know its meta to have a sova or raze break the god trips and such but even then i keep dying to them. For example on bind b i die a lot to trips laying across the whole ground because i don't see them when i smoke dash, take fight etc.

Is this just a git gud moment or does cypher feel kinda broken and annoying to you other duelist players aswell?

Valorant Penalties need a Rework

Today, I was playing unrated on Valorant and giving Iso a try. Obviously, I got pissed and got mad at myself, so I took a step away from the game knowing I would get a penalty. Keep in mind, last time I got a penalty was about 3 months ago. Then I got back on and got a 30 minute penalty for unrated which I waited out. I then warmed up, and when I went to go play competitive, I had a 24 hour penalty. Getting competitive penalties for afking in other game modes is absurd. I can understand getting an unrated penalty for afking in unrated, and a competitive penalty for afking in competitive, but to afk in a round where you don't lose or gain any value and get an exclusive penalty for a game mode that does apply those topics is stupid! If it takes a year for your competitive penalties to reset, then you should only get those penalties from competitive. The only game mode where afking doesn't give you any penalty is deathmatch, which barely any bad players(me included) use because its overrun by Radiants. You should get penalties for all game modes you afk in, sure. But the fact that I can't play competitive until tomorrow night, JUST BECAUSE I NEEDED TO NOT GET SO MAD THAT I SMASH MY KEYBOARD, is the dumbest mechanic I've ever seen in any game. Riot needs to fix this.

Just thought I’d post my first chrono ace :D

I just got this skin today and got a little ace in unrated. I know that people won’t count it due to the… circumstances of the last two kills, but I’m proud of it. Silver 1 currently
