making a thread so we don't spam the channel anymore but THIS SO HARD

vital shuttle
#

LMAO

#

What

scenic lava
#

i just want to be able to have someone whos basically as good as me

vital shuttle
#

LITERALLY

#

JUST LIKE

#

CMON

#

LET ME PLAY GAME WITH SOMEONE THAT MAKES GAME FUN

scenic lava
#

i hate playing with people better than me bc i don't want ot get boosted, and i don't like playing with people way worse than me bc i don't want to lose

vital shuttle
#

Like I love my low elo friends!!!!!! But you are nottttt good to play with

scenic lava
#

literally just
1 don'tbe a cunt
2 be roughly as good as me
3 (optional) be good in areas i'm bad at and bad at areas i'm good at so we can coach each toher

vital shuttle
#

Perhaps maybe what we do is just I move to EU

#

simple

#

I wonder what options I can try to do to actually get towards improving at val instead of being okay at playing subpar valorant

scenic lava
scenic lava
#

literally tbe best thing you can do

#

if you go to school/uni there will proabbly be a team there that accepts all ranks

vital shuttle
#

I don't unfortunately

#

and trying out for teams oh god fortnite flashbacks smhhh

#

My social anxiety making me not want to actually meet people

scenic lava
#

lmao me when i was trying out for my ow team

#

good rule of thumb if you want to avoid toxic people is look for places that call themselves lgbt freindly, even if you're not gay it removes all the racists/4chan folks

vital shuttle
#

One day I'll stop being a bitch and actually just play game

vital shuttle
pearl lark
#

look for places that call themselves lgbt freindly
No joke this is the most based shit

scenic lava
#

yea i'e had to deal with some... specimens

pearl lark
#

Nah fr it's actually based af

scenic lava
#

this tuesday 2 people subbed in for my team and they were both crazy transphobic

vital shuttle
#

It's based advice but actually sad that you have to do that

scenic lava
#

just fucking hate the internet

pearl lark
#

It also just elminates any cretinous person that would be against the said tag

scenic lava
#

its such a good filter

vital shuttle
#

couldn't imagine playing with sm1 like that on your team

scenic lava
#

I was literally just silent for the while scrim, and i'm probably the most vocal player

#

idk not fun

#

the weirdos got blacklisted tho

vital shuttle
#

That's good

#

least they got blacklisted

pearl lark
#

You watch a vod from a game/scrim in my valorant team and literally 90% of the talking is me

#

And at some point I just get tired and sick of putting that effort in so like

#

I just stop talking and shit is just dead

scenic lava
#

yea real

vital shuttle
#

I suck at comming ngl

#

I can comm in discord or like

pearl lark
#

I'm an IGL so it's expected that I'm the most vocal, but I need information

vital shuttle
#

games where it's automatic

#

but i can't comm in push to talk

pearl lark
#

I want people to be feeding me information non stop, otherwise I can't IGL 😭

scenic lava
#

i once played on my unis ow b team, and was told to stop talking so much because i made everyone uncomfortbale

#

and that was just me comming my normal amount

pearl lark
#

I comm for a play/strat because people are silent and I can't hear any progress being made, in post review I get flamed bc the duelist is like "Bro don't call for rotates when we're making progress on site"

#

HOW DO I KNOW UR MAKING PROGRESS IF U DONT TELL ME

#

Sorry I'm ranting I have a lot of built up resentment

vital shuttle
#

I love vocal teammates I don't get why people like

#

hate them

#

talk to me

pearl lark
#

I also come from playing semi professional League, and the comms in them settings are. Somthing. Like non-stop talking from everyone, 3 conversations happening at once, every single ability and location and plan being commed all the time whether other people are talking or not

#

So I have a high expectation, I expect it to be lower in FPS games but holy shit some people really just die and then play clash royale

scenic lava
#

like listen to a val coms video, then listen to pro overwatch coms its mental

vital shuttle
#

It's literally fucking so different I can't even

#

Do shit

scenic lava
#

people just scream someones name, like just 5 people screaming KILL THE BABY

vital shuttle
#

Ow, Fn, Apex fucking like any other game I've played

#

comms flow

#

Valorant it feels like there's a dam in the way everytime

#

I am your no-comm ranked teammate blame me fr

scenic lava
#

val you jsut need to say what you're doing

#

like literally say everything you do

#

like someone is narrating you

pearl lark
#

You learn to comm
A) What you see
B) What you're doing
C) What you want to do

#

That pretty much covers all of your communication in every game, and if you get into the habit of comming them things then they're pretty transferrable

#

You just have to know what to tone down and what to emphasize. EG when I played League I was a support, so I literally commed every ability usage I saw and commed all my cooldowns. That's a little much for Valorant, and you have to comm what you see and hear a lot more

#

Because in league you have a minimap so comming what you see is slightly less important

#

Ik you have a map in val too, but in league you look at your minimap every 2-3 seconds

vital shuttle
#

that makes actual sense for valorant somehow

pearl lark
#

I missed that message but yeah, that's a great way to describe it and I never thought of it that way

scenic lava
#

obvs you want to say like you want to do as well, but its an easy way to get started to start comming

pearl lark
#

I couldn't put it better myself. Just narrate your POV

#

If people are trying to focus, it's very easy to block out comms that aren't directed at you

#

Over comming is a WAYYY better starting position than under comming

#

It's so much easier to tone down your comms than it is to increase them

#

So just narrate your POV, and learn what to leave out and what not to

scenic lava
pearl lark
#

Fuck them guys

vital shuttle
#

I don't care about my ranked teammates I just

pearl lark
#

They don't know shit

scenic lava
#

i would go into a swift play and just comm everthing with your mic off

vital shuttle
#

Need to comm

scenic lava
#

like literally just call EVERYTHIGN

vital shuttle
#

Comming in swiftplay easier than comming in ranked

scenic lava
vital shuttle
#

I load into a ranked lobby

scenic lava
vital shuttle
#

fucking depressive ass atmosphere

pearl lark
#

If your teammates flame you for overcomming, I can say with 99.5% certainty that they just lost a gunfight and got shit on. And they would have lost with or without your comms and they're using it as a scapegoat to cope with losing.

scenic lava
#

ranked is just so fucking bad

vital shuttle
#

You literally FEEL the just

pearl lark
#

@scenic lava Agree?

vital shuttle
#

"I just lost 30 games I don't fucking care anymore" energy in some lobbies

scenic lava
pearl lark
#

Also how do I address you? Just, pick what I want? 😭

scenic lava
#

as long as you're not trying to micro them in a clutch

pearl lark
#

Like, the words pick what I want, or like, pick a name that I like

vital shuttle
#

Lilac

#

they are lilac

scenic lava
vital shuttle
#

you can also call them you

scenic lava
#

i got trolled by kryptox

pearl lark
#

Damn I thought I got to choose your name

#

Was gonna be like

#

Charlotte or

scenic lava
pearl lark
#

Sunset

#

You like sunset?

vital shuttle
#

I hate sunset

#

fuck that map

pearl lark
#

oh

vital shuttle
#

Plays like a shittier bind

pearl lark
#

thats a map?

#

wtf

vital shuttle
#

Yeah in valorant

#

lmao

#

New map

pearl lark
#

Never tell people what to do

#

Just give them the information they need to make the decision themselves

vital shuttle
#

The only time I'm telling people what to do is in a 2vX or pre-round

#

or when I NEED AFUCKING FLASH

#

ONTO FUCKING SITE

#

WHY YOU SIT BEHIND ME

#

SCARED OF AN INVISIBLE FUCKING PLAYER

pearl lark
#

Yeah strats is fine, and also asking for co-operation is also good

#

Asking for double swings, trades, double holds, util etc is good

scenic lava
pearl lark
#

But when you're not in the equation, like, telling the 2 people on the other side of the map how to hold

scenic lava
#

thats the keyh thing

pearl lark
#

Then people start getting mad

scenic lava
#

asking for util is never going to be wrong

#

but telling them to use util is bad

pearl lark
#

100%

scenic lava
#

people are fucked

vital shuttle
#

I think with val it's cause

#

we usually locks our mains and have like

#

3109301903921 hours on them

pearl lark
#

You have to be involved in the equation for them to not take offence

vital shuttle
#

so getting told how to fucking PLAY their main from the other side of the map

#

is just dumb

pearl lark
#

"Breach flash A main"
Offensive
"Breach can you flash A main for me"
Acceptable

vital shuttle
#

What

#

Okay maybe for EU

#

I just say "breach flash a main, I'm peeking"

pearl lark
#

Well yeah, I meant more like

vital shuttle
#

Why do you gotta be like

pearl lark
#

If you told them to flash for someone else

#

And wasnt there

#

Then it's offensive

#

If you're on B main and say "Flash A main"

#

Rude and offensive

vital shuttle
#

"uwu baby can you please flash me so i can get my frags >.<"

pearl lark
#

If you're on A main and say "Flash A main"

#

Acceptable

scenic lava
#

eu is also bad for comms bc you just get random eastern europeans who hate life, germans who have been cryogenicly frozen since 1939, english people who thought they voted to leave this val region and the french

pearl lark
#

I'm autistic and don't know how to say shit, my apologies

#

😭

scenic lava
#

so its just an L region

pearl lark
vital shuttle
#

Nah I'm just kinda trolling

#

you're good

scenic lava
vital shuttle
#

Just come to na

#

you guys only get like some 100+ ping

#

that's playable

pearl lark
#

Most people understand english well enough and speak well enough to comm, but it just degenerates into cursing and flaming in different languages and racism and

#

Shit's a fucking pighole i stg

scenic lava
pearl lark
#

And don't get me started on women in EU

#

Like oh my lord they get massacred for no fucking reason

vital shuttle
#

Are women in eu like women in na? Oh.

#

Nvm

pearl lark
#

They pretty much aren't tolerated at any level of play

#

There'll likely be 1/2 people in every lobby that will openly flame women as soon as they comm

vital shuttle
#

NA is like either simping hard for the girl, doesn't care or toxic.

pearl lark
#

And most people in valorant are bitches or too much of a pussy to stand up for women because they dont wanna be seen as a bitch boy

vital shuttle
#

The issue I find when women themselves are toxic themselves without a trigger.

#

like go off defend yourself n shit

#

But you're not helping the problem by being an ass to your teammates either

pearl lark
#

It's something that a lot of women have had to learn to do in order to be "accepted" per se

#

Kind of a "attack them before they attack you" type shit

vital shuttle
#

Really? I don't think I genuinely know women I've played with

pearl lark
#

But it's definitely not helpful

vital shuttle
#

that have felt the need to be toxic before that

#

besides the ones that are

#

Politely, pick mes

scenic lava
#

through this

#

my voice is pretty androginous

vital shuttle
#

Just don't be a woman so we can't reproduce bro

pearl lark
#

Don't put too much judgement on the women, 90% of the time it's just the ways they've had to learn to adapt to be able to play

scenic lava
#

so people just sometimes go at me

vital shuttle
#

I will put judgement on them. I will put judgement on the men.

#

If you're a shitty ass person, you're a shitty ass person.

scenic lava
pearl lark
scenic lava
#

they just are sexist

pearl lark
#

I fuck with them so hard

scenic lava
pearl lark
#

We will throw their game and make it as miserable and insufferable as much as possible until they hate themselves

#

But at a certain point, when that starts to become the norm rather than an exception

#

It's just

#

Dissappointing more than anything

scenic lava
#

like, i first com on round 5 when i have 15 kills and then someone starts calling me boosted

#

its INSANE

pearl lark
#

Oh for sure

vital shuttle
#

15 kills round 5? Omg wow you're only getting 3 kills per round

#

that's actually an issue

pearl lark
#

Every single woman is boosted

#

No matter what

#

Doesnt matter performance or rank

#

They're boosted

#

Because idk women are incapable of playing?

#

Idk people are wild

#

And they don't even realise that they're just throwing their own elo by demoralizing the whole team

#

Like, they're so stupid to realise that the reason women probably perform bad in their games is because you're fucking flaming them, and they've either lost their mental, or are throwing

#

If you just shut the fuck up and be normal, they're just the same as any other player

#

I get so mad at valorant players they're degenerates

scenic lava
#

ow isn't much better, but you can get by with less comms

#

in ranked at least

pearl lark
#

I have to refrain from a fucking hour long rant because of how stupid these kids are

#

Fr? Maybe OW is my jam

#

But I can't aim in OW idk

scenic lava
#

yea ow is fun, very different aiming style

#

LMAO yea

pearl lark
#

My actual raw aim is pretty dog, and my tracking aint it

scenic lava
pearl lark
#

Tac FPS where you don't have to rely on raw aim I'm solid, I can pop off

pearl lark
scenic lava
#

you don't need crazy raw aim in ow, but your mvoement needs to be solid

pearl lark
#

I've always had issues with movement and aim when they're mixed together, since my only real FPS has been valorant

scenic lava
#

ok links done embed, but basically a strafe guide

#

its for apex, but all the same principles apply

pearl lark
#

Apex I'm actually pretty good at, mostly because people's movement sucks in apex

#

As soon as I encounter someone with good movement in apex I'm dead

#

Also the whole macro game of apex I am lost completely

scenic lava
#

but movemnet is proabbly the best way to improve in ow, like hard mirroring people makes aim so easy and people can't deal with it up to masters

pearl lark
#

Just gib me r301 and stand still pls

pearl lark
#

And only a small amount of cap is in that

#

But that just makes rank bigger, you not actually better

#

You're just moira

scenic lava
#

yea moira is giga tilting

#

imo just one trick soilder

#

for like 50-100 hours

#

youll learn tracking, learn how to dynamically position, and be very self sufficent

#

plus people get rly tilted when you play him for some reaosn

#

genuinly no clue why

pearl lark
#

My soldier is cracked icl

#

I have a harder time with the click timing

#

Mcree and hanzo etc

#

I dish out pure numbers when I play soldier

#

At least in my like, plat lobbies or whatever I was when I played

vital shuttle
vital shuttle
#

@scenic lava tell this mans I'm not joking when I say valorant ranked is just bad to me 😭

scenic lava
#

yea...

#

well you got boosted 2 games in a row

#

riot giveth riot taketh away

vital shuttle
#

I couldn't do anything! I didn't get "boosted"

#

:(

#

But riot is taketh away a lot more than giveth with these teammates and just games in general

#

oh well ggs go next and improve

#

😎

knotty scroll
scenic lava
#

as a gay person, every other gay person i know is a cunt

#

but in a cool way
