Has to be said @VALORANT. Y'all suck at balancing matchmaking. No matter what you claim to be doing. One day I get golds in ascendant lobbies another day im up against radiants. Like what does SBMM mean to you?

Hmm. Is this illegal behavior? @VALORANT

@TrickVAL This was a great read @TrickVAL . Appreciate the effort.

VCT community losing their minds over MIBR loss to Envy is the biggest self report of knowing nothing about Valorant. The state of Valorant is extremely variance based, more than ever before. There is no theoretical gameplan that is capable of consistently out performing players who are making good intuitive plays. You guys need to understand that since 2023 the game has slowly been shifting towards individual skill being more and more reliable than theory. Even the best "theory" teams on planet earth are struggling right now to maintain any level of consistency. NRG, G2, FNC etc. What exactly does this mean though? It means that players have improved as individuals far more than teams have improved the theory and it is not even close. When this happens the skill gap shrinks more and more. We have meta changes every couple of months that basically soft reset every team and map, we have a ranked system that gives no value to teamplay so upcoming players are all disproportionally better at fighting than game understanding. Combine all of this with the main "strategy" and "utility" being all on the duelist (Neon & Waylay) and of course, individualism will shine. To kill a stunned player, you used to have to find them with a sova dart, stun off audio & then jett dash on them. Now you can monkey into the bombsite and find them yourself, stun them yourself and kill them yourself. There is no teamplay designed into this meta at all so do not be surprised when these super teams struggle to consistently beat scrappy teams like Envy. Just think about how stupid the mechanics are from yoru, waylay & neon. Waylay and neon can get caught off in the most terrible position and just 1:1 counter stun any punishment, on what planet does that belong in an FPS game? What is the point in having the game designed in a way that initiators support the duelist when the duelists have better utility than every agent in the entire game including agents designed to have only supportive utility like breach. Genuinely think about that for a second, breach is awful in terms of self sufficiency so you would imagine the stun would be insane, the flash would be insane for the team etc. Since you cannot use it yourself. But nope, phoenix and yoru both have better flashes, neon and waylay both had INSTA cast better stuns, and yoru / waylay somehow has a better site disrupting ult than breach bro. The games design was always leading in this direction and if you cannot see that you are blind. Once the design team landed on "hey lets give duelists better site exec ults than initiators" you already know the game is completely fried. What in the world is the identity of this game anymore LOL the roles are so fake it is insane. Teams like MIBR will win in the long run once they really figure out maps, theory, how they wanna adapt to different play styles on each map etc. But as far as random losses like this you are an idiot to be surprised that they got ran down by Keznit, Demon 1 Egg+Poppin (Who literally went on the best t2 run in the history of the game in the best t2 region) and Rossy who is also a primed up shooter when running it down. TLDR: individual meta game design is for individualism meta changes = higher variance in matchups matches all have variance so consistently winning is impossible, you will always see upsets especially in an unsolved newer meta

Day 7, woke up to them banning @Trainwreckstv but not the 80 cheaters i played against. Im losing hope

@Ben__VAL "Nah we'd rather wait for you to call him something nasty and deserving and ban you instead." - Riot Games probably

WINTRADE AT ITS FINEST sul#im95 won a 1v1 clutch which should have won us the game, but he then sprayed the body of mouse4#arim who he played 7 games with before btw, and lost the round, after he ran down ct in a 5v3 and threw. In last round he then fully dcd :D lovely! (ban him)

@wulingyingxue @valohabercisi As an NA player, China is the only region we get leaks from.

@valohabercisi As a Chinese player, I really want to see leaks from regions other than China, because the game operation in China always releases some meaningless previews. So do you have any other leaks?

VALORANT CHINA TEASES KURONAMI REVEAL DATE 27 APRIL 9PM BEIJING TIME

@ValorantUpdated No

Do you plan to get the Solar Stride Bundle? // #VALORANT

@VALORANT Lol @VALORANT why not just remove reyna at this point? This is a joke of a change.

@z3nwi Jason R was right

i am very sorry but seeing a man playing sage or clove gives me an ick

@GummyShiratori @VALORANT That's the regular store

@VALORANT where's the day market where everything's 4 times the original price

the shopkeeper’s back in town. Night Market returns soon.

@LotharHS 60% valid. But honestly, at this point, play a different game.

VALORANT TO-DO LIST: • delete ALL chat in Ranked • delete FFing in Ranked • hardware suspensions for toxicity and disruptive behaviour • reverse 11.08 signature utility changes • stop making maps even more chokepoint simulations, create more open maps • add honor system (only positive reinforcements) • add soloQ and separate flexQ leaderboards • add any new prizes to ranked (5 Years with ZERO changes in this area) • rework Outlaw • turbonerf Marshall no-scopes • rework Reyna, Clove, Chamber, Harbor • change server city names to numbers or VAL codenames • remove the option to disable VC • automatic match cancellation if someone doesnt play in pistol round or doesnt load to the map • add an option to increase skin levels by playing games with them (keep radianite as a pay to upgrade option) • allow importing Replay files • never allow matchmaking to create matches with 5 solos against 2 duos • if you have suspended comms CANT QUEUE RANKED • add bots for customs maps to practice positions • suspend accounts from playing ranked that log in from two distinct locations in the same day (whitelist internet caffes) • add more slots in shop • nerf accuracy on ropes drastically

@VALORANTLeaksEN Angles on angles on angles.

Breeze rework: W or L? // #VALORANT

@yaotziN Find better ways to solve the problem. Why are we asking for outlaw nerfs?

@LJndKrew what

Patch 12.00 - mixed feelings? 🤷‍♂️ What's your take guys? ❌no Outlaw nerfs ☑️adding Venator - another gun to punish low armors ❌no soloQ agent changes ☑️'meaningless' Harbor/Breach buff ❌Corrode mid: still no metal wall (A/B ones are good, just should be there as hotfix a few months ago) ☑️added wall on Haven which noone asked for😨 ☑️Breeze changes will 100% reshape the way you have to play the map ❌feels like map lost the identity tho ✅Obviously MMR & ranked punishment changes are good, but we need to see it in practice.

@mimimimichaela Check if the client certificate has expired. Try setting your pc date back by a few days and restart your riot client. League had a similar issue a couple days ago

but, why is my VALORANT not opening? my riot client isnt even opening, WHAT IS THE ISSUE, EVERY DRIVER IS UP TO DATE. i need to restart my pc over and over and over and keep trying and then randomly one time it will open, PLEASE DEAR LORD HELP ME FIND A FIX

Fuck yes! @G2esports Let's fuckin go. That was an unnecessarily long yet crazy set of games.

Weird that my account got suspended for using X as a news medium without any activity - which is oxymoronic asl.

@VALORANTLeaksEN Is it another one of those 2 guns and a melee type bundle? Naw.
