I'm not getting myself good grades either, let's look at the next 2 years first

[twin osprey]

nah

I'd rather be stuck at the same skill level in a video game for a year, that I don't even enjoy playing that much

oh wait

that's me

👍

[spice ibex]

lil bro I need you to wake up

You’re moving through life like a fever dream

[twin osprey]

yes

that describes it well

[spice ibex]

What’s wrong with earning a couple bucks part time man

[twin osprey]

not enough sleep

also no motivation

[spice ibex]

I’m asking

4 hours a day

5 days a week

Get off school

Change into your uniform

Work a couple hours

Get back home and get to plat

What’s so bad about that schedule man

[twin osprey]

I sleep 3 - 4 hours a day

that's what's bad about that

[spice ibex]

Bro how

[twin osprey]

no way I find enough energy after school for allat

[spice ibex]

How much video games do you play after school lil bro

[twin osprey]

no idea

like

3 hours

then rest I procrastinate before playing

💀

[spice ibex]

Tf you doing the rest of the time

[twin osprey]

so

I get home at 2 pm

then I eat till 3 pm

then I sit on my phone till 6 pm, because I'm too lazy to turn my PC on

then I play till 9 pm

or so

watch netflix with my mom

procrastinate 2 or 3 more hours and go to bed

wake up and I'd rather be dead

repeat

[spice ibex]

Hmm

Let’s change that schedule up

2pm get off school

[twin osprey]

mhm

[spice ibex]

Go home and change into work clothes

[twin osprey]

sounds bad

are the work clothes like

[spice ibex]

Work until 6-7pm or so

Get back home

Eat dinner

[twin osprey]

pro play shirts?

[spice ibex]

Play on ur PC

Then sleep at like 11

Then wake up at 7

[twin osprey]

11?

I eat at 11

I don't eat breakfast

so I need to eat 3 hours before I sleep

[spice ibex]

Bro

Go to fucking bed

[twin osprey]

soon

[spice ibex]

Eat dinner and then go to fucking bed

And then wake up at 7 and eat breakfast

[twin osprey]

man idk

[spice ibex]

Istg I’m gonna sign up for an ethical hacking class, figure out where you fucking live, go to your place and smack you in the face until you go find a job

How about this

Does your school run summer camps?

You can EASILY sign up to be a camp counselor

Easily

[twin osprey]

I can send you my address

in dms

[spice ibex]

I was joking lmao

Signing up to be a camp counselor is so free

They just run a background check

[twin osprey]

I'm not

[spice ibex]

As long as you’re not a felon or smth you’ll get the job bro

Then you stick that on your resume

[twin osprey]

thank god I have nothing diagnosed (I'm not going to the therapist)

[spice ibex]

Get a better job

Work your way up the ladder

Simple

[twin osprey]

pretty sure I'm not a felon

[spice ibex]

Wdym pretty sure

Ever been to jail?

[twin osprey]

intrusive thoughts telling me to jump off of the ladder:

[twin osprey]

no

not yet

[spice ibex]

Okay then you’re not a felon

[twin osprey]

give me one year

[spice ibex]

Bro trust me

[twin osprey]

👹

[spice ibex]

Camp counselor is the freest job ever

I was one in my high school

Just sat around watching kids in an air conditioned room

Followed them around

Made sure they didn’t do anything stupid

[twin osprey]

lmao

I'd make them do stupid shit

[spice ibex]

Made enough money to buy myself a laptop that I use in college

[twin osprey]

oh yea jeremiah, it's a good idea to spill the paint bucket

[twin osprey]

damn

anyway

I'd rather become a streamer

than that

[spice ibex]

Streaming takes much more work lil bro

[twin osprey]

I'm aware

[spice ibex]

How about this lil bro

Ever thought about video editing?

You’ll prob have to learn how to edit videos and make them funny as a streamer

[twin osprey]

I can do it

[spice ibex]

Alr

Show me some edits

[twin osprey]

did it for 2 years

[twin osprey]

nah I do cuts

[spice ibex]

Send them

[twin osprey]

ain't do that low attention span shit

[spice ibex]

DM them to me

[twin osprey]

just look at my channel

the one I upload the VODs to

[spice ibex]

Hmm

Okay

How about this

I’ll pay you 20 bucks to create YT shorts for my budding YT channel

Per YT short you make

[twin osprey]

budding?

[spice ibex]

I’ll send you clips

[spice ibex]

Yeah only got 2 videos so far currently making number 3

[twin osprey]

what is budding

[spice ibex]

I’m doing this while balancing summer classes and a software dev job in fintech so understandably I don’t have a lot of time

Budding as in new

[twin osprey]

ah

I mean my "edits" aren't wild

[spice ibex]

They don’t have to be wild

[twin osprey]

I just edit stuff the way I like

[spice ibex]

They just have to be funny

Like the toot toot one

[twin osprey]

no way you laughed at thay

[spice ibex]

Smth short, funny, and memorable

[twin osprey]

that

[spice ibex]

I want LMFAO on the floor crying from laughter

But it was memorable and made me chuckle

I usually only have the weekends to make and upload videos

So I’ll send you clips for you to edit and shit

Send them back to me

I’ll see if I like it or not, maybe give you some suggestions, then when it’s good I’ll upload it

[twin osprey]

mhm ok

[spice ibex]

And you’ll get 20 bucks

[twin osprey]

btw thoughts on the 6k?

[spice ibex]

Don’t care, you’re my shorts editor now.

I’ll be sending clips tmrw

I expect results by Sunday night

[twin osprey]

yea I'm not promising anything

gn

[inland crystal]

wow i want some life coaching from butterfingers too lmao

[twin osprey]

@spice ibex

[twin osprey]

the more important thing: what's your val rank?

[inland crystal]

gold2-ish

im on hardware cope right now

i cant rank up because i have bad fps xd

[spice ibex]

Double digits rip

Get a job and upgrade ur setup

[inland crystal]

believe it or not that is actually my plan lol

[twin osprey]

I have a friend who has that too

he's iron 1 and has 10fps

[twin osprey]

dang

I'm gonna send a new VOD today, where I take it SERIOUS

@spice ibex

[spice ibex]

Alr lil bro, impress me

[inland crystal]

lol mine is not that bad

i get like 50ish

[twin osprey]

ok bbg

[twin osprey]

still terrible

how'd you even get to gold 2

60 is good, but definitely not ideal

I currently play on 120, because my monitor like has a bug now, where it doesn't recognize my DP cable and I can't select 144 now

...

but yea

above 240 it's useless

basically all 540Hz monitors have huge tearing or whatever it's called

360 is good, but unnecessary

imo 240 really covers about everything

[proper owl]

540hz monitors have gsync, they don't have any tearing as long as u have an Nvidia gpu.

[twin osprey]

ah didn't know

btw I just absolutely smashed my poor gold lobby

😭

I'm match MVPing left and right

back to gold 3 👍

[proper owl]

Nice job

[twin osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei7GaE5tB8k&ab_channel=LimeDragonBoi

[wooden remnant]

from the intro am..........

[twin osprey]

What

[proper owl]

What happened round 4, u called a solid plan then bailed on it.
Round 3 good job repositioning to double up with ur skye. Would probably gun out when leaving elbow to A main since at that point cypher was unknown and could have caught an insane timing.
Round 5 stick closer to reyna so you can trade her out.

Round 8 you didn't see skye cuz ur dragon was flashing u a look when she first became visible and ur crosshair was focused on a door. Was just lazy crosshair placement since I dont think you honestly expected a fight yet u were pushing to try and take one. Better focus of crosshairs always on place of danger would have probably solved this.

Kinda unlucky momentary lapse since ur crosshair leading up to that point had always been focused on a threat area

Round 14 was very well played imo

Round 15 at this moment you arn't in danger of an angle so would be looking at minimap, you see their omen is B main pushed up really far. After you do your dash you could have used that info to fight the breach since you could have known omen wasn't possibly in that room.

Also round 8 dont talk down on urself so much, it's a small temp mistake and it's a game.

Round 17 it's 3v5, when skye's flash pops with the sound of flashing enemies i'd just prime dash and swing ur knives at this point. You have the aim skills to get at least 2 of the 3 ppl that the flash hit, and if not then whatever u took a risk in a 3v5.

[twin osprey]

@proper owl So I didn’t really read through your feedback yet, but what it sounds like is a skill issue. This means I sadly need to continue aim training multiple hours per day (😿).

Super sad guys

I guess I’ll have to get master for plat in Valorant after all…

[proper owl]

lol not a single thing was a skill issue it was all game sense

[twin osprey]

(that's not what I want to hear 😢)

[proper owl]

Game sense is easier to improve imo

[twin osprey]

nah

just grind an aim trainer for a few hours every day

ez win

game sense is

watching your own mistakes

and actively thinking while in game

if you're distracted, aim will save you

as a very smart gentleman said: "it's easier to crutch on your aim than your util"

@proper owl

[proper owl]

Depends..I suck at aiming and no amount of aim training will save me at this point so I crutch on game sense

[twin osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/fr-lie-gif-9063740662564569899

https://tenor.com/view/lie-lie-detector-cap-you-are-lying-stop-lying-gif-12198388917433403789

[twin osprey]

you probably have less than 50 hours in aim training

trainers*

[proper owl]

Well over 200

though thread is about ur improvement not mine though and aim clearly not ur issue lol

[twin osprey]

show proof bbg

if you only played gridshot

then I'm gonna 💀

[twin osprey]

https://medal.tv/games/valorant/clips/i5ZfeAoxx0VGfI3fG/UwxDGFR4GkQ9?invite=cr-MSxHSlMsMTk5NjE3MzU5LA

@proper owl @spice ibex I think I deserve gold...

AND DIAMOND AS WELL

[proper owl]

Not fully accurate cuz I often left the game just running in the background but it's over 200.

[twin osprey]

300 hours in background is crazy

[proper owl]

Ya it's a guess. I know i left it running once while on vacation for a week so that's 168 hrs right there.

[twin osprey]

why did you leave your PC on?

[proper owl]

Lazy and forgot it was on

[twin osprey]

Electricity bill: 📈

[proper owl]

I live in California u don't wanna know how bad the electric bill is here

[twin osprey]

Actually, I do. Btw I heard an $100k salary is mid to low range here. 😭

There

[twin osprey]

Kinda crazy you just left this standing here… @proper owl

[proper owl]

i mean that was a nice flick

my avg monthly electricity bill is $220 i think

[twin osprey]

Agree, time to derank

[twin osprey]

That’s… not bad at all?

[proper owl]

From ppl I know in other American states it's the highest by a bit

[proper owl]

Nah just need 4 games til ur plat

[twin osprey]

I mean, you have a higher salary too, no?

[twin osprey]

4 is very optimistic

More like 6 games

I’m currently 17/100

[proper owl]

Ya salary makes up for it.

21 per game is very doable

[twin osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/lie-lie-detector-cap-you-are-lying-stop-lying-gif-12198388917433403789

[twin osprey]

I hope you mean -21

[twin osprey]

I feel like I'm gonna build a huge losing streak today @proper owl

5 hours straight valorant rn

[twin osprey]

I'm gonna play until I derank into gold 1

[twin osprey]

the deranking isn't going well (I'm playing odin 😼 )

[proper owl]

Got lucky with tilt queue

[twin osprey]

kinda

I mean I 3rd

then mvp

¯_(ツ)_/¯

odin helps

[twin osprey]

@proper owl

[proper owl]

Sweet

[twin osprey]

3 more games, but I told myself, that I'd get all aimlabs achievements before I hit plat 1 (currently at 71%)

[proper owl]

U must at least now know u have the ability to hit plat when playing focused if u are taking a break on the plat goal to complete other goals

[twin osprey]

I mean yea

I can hit ascendant rn if I wanted to

[proper owl]

good attitude

[twin osprey]

(I won't, cause you know)

gotta keep it fair

don't wanna smurf in ascendant after all lmao

[twin osprey]

tilt queue incoming... I can feel it

tomorrow gold 1

[twin osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rspfeb6MDxU&ab_channel=LimeDragonBoi

@proper owl mute the video while watching

[proper owl]

just tracked the tracker on that game, what an insane iso game

[twin osprey]

I know 😭😭

No way we would’ve won without this legend.

[twin osprey]

the boosting allegations 💀 @proper owl

#500 radiant EU rn

[twin osprey]

I'm 2 games away from plat, what can go wrong?

@spice ibex

[twin osprey]

Ok a fuck ton of stuff went wrong lol @proper owl

On my rank up game, we were 10 - 2 and 2 teammates went afk and we lost (I was 99/100).

Anyway I’m 1 game away from plat.

[proper owl]

Loool brutal rank up game

At least u are still just 1 game away

[proper owl]

Checking ur tracker sure looks like u hit plat?

[twin osprey]

Not yet bruv

I got +28 and I needed +29

Lemme send the in game screenshot

[proper owl]

Lol so back to 99/100?

[twin osprey]

85/100

[twin osprey]

yea so... I lost

[twin osprey]

yea so... I lost @proper owl

I'm 89/100

what can possibly go wrong tomorrow?

+4rr gained today 👍

I call that progress 💪

[proper owl]

Ya that's progress

[twin osprey]

I mean

technically

it's not backwards progress

[proper owl]

Still just 1 game

[twin osprey]

so I count it

[twin osprey]

been like this for 3 or 4 days 💀

[proper owl]

Happens

If u are learning or having fun in ur games then making some progress regardless of RR

[twin osprey]

1. learning: barely, I just practice my mechanics
2. fun: depends, but 50/50

anyway jett is now my 3rd most played character

!!!

[proper owl]

Nice

[twin osprey]

yes

what 100 hours on jett in gold looks like:

(next video)

@proper owl do you think I'll lose my next game (cause I sure do)?

[proper owl]

If u had my luck ur next game is a for sure win +14rr followed by loss.

But no go into every game assuming u r gonna crush ppl and then maybe change ur mind when down 12-0 at half

[twin osprey]

I need 11rr

if I get 10rr while match mvp

you know something's up

but anyway I got +20rr for 5th place last game

which was very surprising lol

[twin osprey]

nah I always assume I crush ppl, I just don't assume I will win (I won't)

it's my rank up, it will be as challenging and humanly impossible as possible

[twin osprey]

@proper owl bruh

act ends in 10 hours but they decided, nah

¯_(ツ)_/¯

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)

so bs

[proper owl]

Weird

Next act though

[twin osprey]

act? you get them every episode...

[proper owl]

Thought the badge was based off episode peak though

[twin osprey]

yes, but I will probably go higher than plat next episode ||(or cease to exist 🫣 )||

[twin osprey]

Funnily enough: if I get plat this act and stay in gold the next, it’s possible for me to have peaked plat, but not have the plat buddy lol.

[proper owl]

guess skip the plat and straight to diamond badge then

[twin osprey]

I suppose

[twin osprey]

I'm hardstuck low elo forever

[twin osprey]

nvm lol... all good

@proper owl

LMAOOOOO

I GOT BOTH BUDDIES

XDDDDDDDD

@spice ibex

this is hilarious

Awesome

@proper owl

[proper owl]

will try to watch by thursday

[twin osprey]

yeye dw

[twin osprey]

@spice ibex you wanna watch as well or nah? :3

[spice ibex]

hey man, its been a bit, sorry I havent been able to keep up with you, I've been extremely busy with shit in my life

I'll check it out in my fre time

[twin osprey]

Don’t worry, life happens

[twin osprey]

Take your time, I’m in no hurry.

[proper owl]

Round 5 when KJ dies heaven should have peeked minimap, it shows u chamber is left side of window for u preaim the repeek, instead u guessed right side window

ive never seen so many ppl fall in than i have in this map vod so far lol

Round 6: slight overheat peek onto kayo unless u knew he was low and I didn't hear the comm. I would ask ur clove to and KJ to swing out from ct while u swing tower, especially since clove it ulted so she is going to need to swing that angle in a few seconds anyway

Round 7: Just stay and double swing the sage with ur viper

loool jett on my team last week did the exact same dash fall to death that u did round 13

Honestly outside of those 3 things...round 7 being just a map knowledge issue...i didn't really see anything glaring wrong. I'm sure someone who is a jett main maybe could talk about some pathing or something or might be some things I missed on my watch but looks like it was generally well played

[spice ibex]

I'm gonna give you a brief rundown of Abyss and how to play it macro wise where I've been finding success

• On defense you're pretty much going to stack one site, preferably A. You want to fight for A main control and force the enemy team to util dump A main. You're going to want to play retake on B. As long as you have control of B link you should be able to retake B.
• flank the enemy team if you can for B. That way they'd get pinched by the retakers and also have to worry about flank.
• On attack unless you have a good harbor on your team then pushing mid is a bad idea. Its either a 5 stack B rush or an A rush with a single mid lurker, and if the enemy team doesnt make any presence mid, then an A split is viable where you go through breakable.
• You want to plant for spam as attackers and fall back main if you have numbers advantage.
• If the enemy team is hard pushing mid, do not try to push mid without a coordinated move from both A link and B link players. Instead, simply keep A link and B link control and you will slowly sandwich the enemy team in time.
• Use the op. Do not be afraid of holding off angles with the op. It's way too strong on this map.

Honestly I agre with Paul. You're definitely playing much better than before.

my biggest issue is your routing when you push B.

I need you to push through the large choke, updraft and dash on top site.

I need you to pull crosshairs away from your teammates more

I'll send a short video demonstrating what I mean

[twin osprey]

I mean I don't remember this match anymore (💀), but I think I performed mid (even if it was top frag or whatever, I wasn't at my 100%, maybe 60 at best). How can I get to like 90% or so?

[spice ibex]

you're never going to be able to always play at your peak. Instead of trying to jump higher to reach the ceiling, raise the floor you're standing on instead.

make sure your C and D game is consistent

[proper owl]

these are the types of things i'll probably not be able to comment on for a long time since i have less than 5 games played on jett in my life so idk her ideal routing patterns at all right now

[spice ibex]

I don’t play Jett but I’ve studied Jett. It’s sort of like updraft dashing on top gen on ascent, you’re dragging the crosshairs of anyone that’s staring at main to top gen. It’s very similar.

[proper owl]

The fall back and spam A abyss is so much like B sunset and is a pretty massive map problem imo

[spice ibex]

https://youtu.be/anQSiRw3y1w @twin osprey

[twin osprey]

It feels like I’m improving, but getting less consistent.

[twin osprey]

I’ll look at it later today

[spice ibex]

It’s what happens when you improve. You reach new heights, yet your floor remains the same for a bit.

[twin osprey]

No... the floor is moving down. It's like I'm in quick sand and the more I try to get up, the more I sink.

[twin osprey]

yea so what happened is I was trying to find sage

[twin osprey]

bro is fighting the horrors in his mind 💀

valorant, but I'm schizo type shit

[twin osprey]

Stretched res yes or nah? @spice ibex @proper owl

[proper owl]

I don't like it

[twin osprey]

I never tried it so

idk

[twin osprey]

https://medal.tv/games/valorant/clips/ifSS8erdMx8JWt607/d1337Ris7tQA?invite=cr-MSxNdTIsMTk5NjE3MzU5LA

@proper owl stretched res would go hard here icl

[proper owl]

FOV doesn't change w/ res in valorant

[twin osprey]

I know

But it looks more tryhardier idk how to explain

When you see a stretched res clip you know it’s gonna be good

[twin osprey]

yo Paul

I'm absolutely cleaning my lobby rn

100% hs%

yea I'm ass again

:/

93% hs%

wait

more actually

lmao

95%

[twin osprey]

...

I legit don't fucking know what to do

I either perform like a god or do that

and then I come back

wtfff

[proper owl]

Do u have a warmup routine or anything?

[twin osprey]

yes

also this is one match after the other

literally 20 minutes later

nah I'm so clueless

wtf

I make such stupid mistakes

vod reviewing can't fix this

I'm aware of 80% of my mistakes

I just do them over and over and over again

[proper owl]

Focus issue probably

[twin osprey]

how to fix?

btw I'm barely if ever surprised by enemies

I always expect someone to peak me

unless it's impossible for someone to be there

[proper owl]

Are u taking dumb fights or something?

Or do u have the sunset vod to post?

[twin osprey]

Nah I just put myself in restarded positions

[twin osprey]

Nah

[twin osprey]

I'm hardstuck silver forever

[twin osprey]

@proper owl how’s your grind going?

[proper owl]

eh havn't started this act much

one account is g2, one is p1, one still cant play ranked yet

i kinda stopped trying to actually rank up for a while and just play for the hell of it

[twin osprey]

Relatable

[twin osprey]

https://tracker.gg/valorant/match/63bcc6a4-6344-4e24-9d7f-5a273b06549d

@proper owl am I doing something wrong?

[proper owl]

ur kast is low and HS makes me wonder if u were in situations where u didn't spam when u shoudl have

[twin osprey]

why spam if you can just click once

also the hs% only counts kills, not assists

[twin osprey]

@proper owl I know what my issue is

I overflick all the time

[proper owl]

can do aimlabs if u think that's a problem

[twin osprey]

dw I want to grind to VT master

[twin osprey]

quitting for 2 - 3 months now @proper owl

[proper owl]

lol

[twin osprey]

All those new silver players are gonna get clapped in E9:A2

😹

[proper owl]

easy wins

[twin osprey]

Imagine 2 hours/day aim training for 2 months straight.

Probably more

So basically 100 hours more of intense aim training

[proper owl]

that doesn't translate that much into improved aim in valorant

[twin osprey]

Trust me, it will for me

My main issue is unironically my aim rn

For some stupid reason I over and underflick 80% of the time, so if I wouldn’t do that, I would get 40% more kills just because of that.

[proper owl]

everyones first flick is wrong in game and they micro correct fix it

[twin osprey]

not really

mine are often perfect

[proper owl]

The vast majority of a person's initial flicks are wrong unless they have an insanely smooth aiming style which is uncommon

[twin osprey]

(me)

[rustic tendon]

Cope, just worry about your micro correction when you do miss

[twin osprey]

I’m not coping tho lol

Anyway I quit for a few months anyway and I’m gonna take up CS2 next weekend for the first time seriously.

[twin osprey]

@proper owl @spice ibex I'm coming back next act

...for diamond 👹

[proper owl]

nice

[twin osprey]

I feel pity for my future enemies

I'm relentless

I know my mistakes

I have GOD aim

GOD crosshair placement

GOD jiggle wiggles

most important of all: I got huge booty cheeks

[vestal shale]

touch some barbells

[twin osprey]

Nah I’ll lift my opponents corpses.

[twin osprey]

Do you think you’re mentally prepared to witness me play?

[twin osprey]

Little does bro know…

[proper owl]

i'm ready for a vod lol

[twin osprey]

new act didn't come out yet

[twin osprey]

I'll send a vod soon

when I reach gold cause silver boring af

[twin osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn51arYLvUk

@spice ibex @proper owl

I suck and I can't get out of silver

[twin osprey]

this was a lie btw, I got out of silver last week

[twin osprey]

@oak knoll

I'm hardstuck gold forever

@spice ibex

[oak knoll]

Oh my days

[twin osprey]

do I make a vod or what

[oak knoll]

I am not the one to ask for that :p

[twin osprey]

how so

maybe you can point out all the mistakes I already know I make

👉 👈

I mean I'm basically ascendant with my valorant knowledge 💀

[oak knoll]

I'm only a rank higher lol

[twin osprey]

(asc cause immo knows a tad more)

[twin osprey]

gold 3?

[oak knoll]

Barely plat 1

[twin osprey]

oof

do you feel like you're better than your opponents? ||...but then still perform worse than them?||

||wondering how this cypher that looks like he plays on controller is above you even though you're a duelist and have average aim?||

[oak knoll]

Idk I perform better than my team half the time when I actually lock in

Would still be plat 2 if I didnt tilt queue :p

[twin osprey]

I perform better than my team when I play with my feet and one eye closed.

but usually I just play with both eyes closed

[twin osprey]

imaging tilting lol

I got over that a while back

back when I was still gold

[twin osprey]

can you send your tracker? I wanna see some stats 😋

[oak knoll]

My scary scary stats https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/Bready%23Bing3/overview

noice, mine are worse

[twin osprey]

@oak knoll I got a VOD ready in a few min

probably make a new channel so people actually see it

but the thing is, I consider it pointless :(

I already know all my mistakes

[twin osprey]

@rustic tendon yurr?

[rustic tendon]

huh?

[twin osprey]

VOD review

for the memes

[rustic tendon]

🙃

seems like you know what you have to work on

[twin osprey]

Yea, but idk how to fix it

[twin osprey]

You can still have a go at it if you want.

I hit a few sick shots

[twin osprey]

I have only now realized that my aim is absolutely making up for my crosshair placement while peeking enemies. 😭 @rustic tendon

it's a bit scary how fast I can flick

I would NOT 🙅‍♂️ want to fight me.

[twin osprey]

Btw this is the clip I’m talking about

https://medal.tv/games/valorant/clips/iO1J6tqpOlax5CVFg

@oak knoll

[rustic tendon]

Pick a pro that mains your agent, then blur out he usernames etc and mute the footage and try to see if you can trick me into thinking your round of game play is the pro's

[twin osprey]

the skins won't match but I'll try

also

actually no I got an idea

my rounds overall look kinda ass tho

can we just get clips side by side?

diamond Vyse... I'm shivering in my boots 😐

[twin osprey]

look I'll try, but it will take some time to find a clip with horrible radiant teammates

https://medal.tv/games/valorant/clips/iO05YJxaI4rM9nGKX?invite=cr-MSxIRG8sMTk5NjE3MzU5LA

(yesterday)

[oak knoll]

1st shot your crosshair was on Breach and you flicked away 😨

[twin osprey]

I know

that happens too sometimes

[twin osprey]

bro I can't improve

every possible mistake I can make, I do

I make every mistake once

like a fucking check list or sum

[oak knoll]

What is this "I'm so shit" mentality. Get that shit outa here

[rustic tendon]

That might have something to do with your rank

Thinking you can't do it

[twin osprey]

I think I'm blocking myself mentally from being better always.

(actively I mean)

[oak knoll]

Then stop thinking like that!!

[twin osprey]

because every time I execute something subconsciously, it slips by

[twin osprey]

idk how to stop it

[twin osprey]

wdym

[oak knoll]

Stop thinking so negatively about everything you do

[twin osprey]

I hold myself to a high standard

[oak knoll]

Then don't do that

[twin osprey]

how

it's hard not to

I mean I know how good I could be

look... this is good, but not great

[oak knoll]

Wtf is that headshot %

[twin osprey]

idk what weapon drags it down

I can check

[oak knoll]

Drags it down!?!??!

What is bros vandal hs%

Lack of confidence

[twin osprey]

58

[oak knoll]

That sounds... Really unnecessarily high

[twin osprey]

I'm just tryna push my KAST up man...

[twin osprey]

umm... what ?

[twin osprey]

well am I supposed to lower it on purpose or something?

lmao

[rustic tendon]

^

[oak knoll]

Bro is the (almost)one-tap demon

[rustic tendon]

Like you're never gonna play a game with no mistakes if you don't believe you can play a perfect game

[twin osprey]

how is that lack of confidence?

[twin osprey]

I one-tap most of my enemies

it's often the most efficient and secure way to secure a kill

[twin osprey]

yes, but I make way too many

[rustic tendon]

Okay

So tell me how you think you can fix them

[twin osprey]

no idea

take more time to think

[rustic tendon]

And that's the problem

like you can clearly identify mistakes in your gameplay

But you don't know how to stop making them

All I can say is it requires a lot o conscious effort like I recently noticed that I yap way too much after I die and that I have a bad habit of staring at my minimap when holding angles

[twin osprey]

pretty much

[twin osprey]

I have the 2nd one too

💀

[rustic tendon]

My advice to you is focus on fixing one mistake at a time

Like once a week go look at our most recent ranked vod and see how many times you died holding am angle while looking at the minimap

if you get no strikes go treat yourself to something

[twin osprey]

never

I don't get punished for it 😈

[twin osprey]

like playing valorant

[rustic tendon]

Remember

You're not inconsistent, you're consistently bad but inconsistently punished

[twin osprey]

oh yea that makes sense actually

[rustic tendon]

So try not to be consistently looking at minimap while holding angles

[twin osprey]

yea I try actually

[twin osprey]

I figured out why I suck on sheriff @rustic tendon

(it's just stupidly inaccurate)

I would have more luck trying to get a headshot with a frenzy on 50m

[twin osprey]

You mean dms or death matches?

[silent monolith]

[twin osprey]

Ok

[twin osprey]

@blazing pike

[twin osprey]

vod coming up in a few days

[twin osprey]

ok I might not have a GPU for a while

:/

[twin osprey]

hope I can get mine fixed or a new one before 2025

[twin osprey]

I’ll just post a VOD when I have a GPU again.

[twin osprey]

still no GPU but I'm slowly improving

[twin osprey]

got Elysian on a VT task today

💪

[twin osprey]

I’ll send a recent vod in a min

this was a bad game for me

I've since switched to filling (using reyna 😈 )

[supple nexus]

Umm. Okay 2 things
1.) you said you're silver versing bronze players when you hit plat apparently
2.) why do you think it was a bad game for you exactly
Tell me the exact reason

[twin osprey]

1. I meant rn, back then I was versing golds
2. I forgot, it actually wasn't bad

it was okay

but it sure as hell wasn't good

and I'll tell you why:

1. positioning issues
2. mechanical issues (dashing wrong direction, etc.)
3. couldn't follow plan due to misunderstand between me and the teammates (mostly phoenix)
4. idrm the rest but probably glaring game sense issues as well (at least 1 round every game, no matter how well I played otherwise)

[supple nexus]

Yea I didn't see you dying to people spraying fast tho. I don't think it happens as often as you think it does

Your mechs are fine yes

Positioning and angle awareness yes. A bit of work :p

[twin osprey]

it doesn't, but when it does it's annoying cause I can't really avoid it since I don't even get one bullet off and they get 4 off (even when I swing them)

[twin osprey]

fine isn't good enough

I want radiant level mechs

rn they are like

ascendant 3 tops

[twin osprey]

happens

[supple nexus]

In here and even in your vod you are focusing entirely too much on your mechs. Radiant level mechs come with radiant level positioning and anticipation. Even if they are smurfing in gold

[twin osprey]

I understand, but today I am better

and I mean only today

I slept so well

I lock onto everyone's head

that's why I'm trying to beat my gridshot custom pb rn

nope

time ran out

my hand isn't insane anymore

[twin osprey]

@supple nexus please help me

I dunno how to get kills

[supple nexus]

I'm telling you you are fully focused on getting kills so much so that every other aspect of the game is holding you back. Your instinct about where the enemies are going to be, where to peek, when to peek. You have worked on the how for so long. How to peek how to kill etc.

In ur vod you're constantly talking about it too. Like that's what's going on in your head that you're half thinking about the rest of the game

[stark spruce]

i mean surely if u worry about how to kill so much js swing mid and kill them ?

[twin osprey]

If that's true, how is it that I struggle with getting kills, being extremely whiffy in gun fights, etc.

[twin osprey]

at least I am focused on something

[twin osprey]

exactly ^^

but that's not how it works

[supple nexus]

You are not whiffy in gunfights

[twin osprey]

also my hit detection sucks

[supple nexus]

You take a bunch of bad fights

[twin osprey]

I just shot a sova through the head 5 times with a ghost

guess how much damage I dealt?

25 to the body

[twin osprey]

I need to show you more vods then

I have moments where I have like 2 or 3 seconds to shoot and I don't connect a single bullet

[supple nexus]

Sure

[twin osprey]

how do I stop that?

[supple nexus]

Everyone has them

[twin osprey]

scroll up

[supple nexus]

Recent ones.

[twin osprey]

it feels like every 3rd gunfight

I whiff so much

[supple nexus]

You watch people play the game and pick things up

[twin osprey]

I'll record one today

[twin osprey]

you think I didn't do that?

[supple nexus]

It's not every third fight. I'll show you in your next vod

[twin osprey]

it feels like it though

idk what you're gonna type up

[supple nexus]

You may have watched people but picked up the surface level things. Like what they do at start off the round, where they position/peek etc. middle of the round, reading that particular game, what are the enemy tendencies etc that's a bit weak.

[twin osprey]

but I used to watch woohoojin and teets nearly every day

I watch pro vods sometimes

or high elo

it doesn't help

[twin osprey]

I lowkey predict my enemies so much

and still don't get the kill

[supple nexus]

Nah that's just you thinking shit in your head. I'll show you in your next vod

[twin osprey]

just yesterday I swung a corner while crouch spraying the location I thought they'd be at and I lost

twice actually iirc

[twin osprey]

ong

I sometimes feel like I have wallhacks on a specific player

I know their play patterns

preferences

etc.

do they wide swing or not?

how do they move

do they instantly crouch spray?

are they aggresive or usually play back site

etc.

I usually play better in the 2nd half cause I figured out a lot of info on the playstyle of my enemies and I adapt

[supple nexus]

Just bring up the next vod.

[twin osprey]

will do sir 🫡

[twin osprey]

if that's true, then how come I'm not diamond?

I keep getting told by people how they climbed to diamond on mechanics alone

and in general diamond is considered the elo where you focus more on game sense than on mechanics

[supple nexus]

Because when u don't get a kill for any number of reasons u immediately think you didn't hit your shots and that was the issue.

[supple nexus]

Those people, most of them had previous fps experience and they have developed a sense of how fights are taken

Every immortal smurfing in gold doesn't blindly take fights. What fights can be taken by them based on the angle, map, agent, economy is second nature

That's why it looks like oh he's just running around killing people

[twin osprey]

usually it is

[twin osprey]

I think I have enough hours in valorant to have a similar sense

[twin osprey]

that's true

[twin osprey]

I know

[supple nexus]

:3

im playing games rn. see u with ur next vod

good luck

[twin osprey]

just a feeling though

[twin osprey]

thanks

with any luck I'll get a double rank up to silver 3

[twin osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVEkiLMGYbU&ab_channel=LimeDragonBoi

@supple nexus

new vod just dropped

[supple nexus]

Alr will get back to you👍🏻

[twin osprey]

aight mate 👍

[stark spruce]

okay round 1 u are aware that they could be in link why are we doing a like jump peak then we swing it with our knife out and get lucky the chamber is worse than us LOLq

round 2 u swing long jumping into the open while scoped in and cannot see the people running down long then u insta pull out knife after firing 1 bullet LOLOLOL

i feel like ur like ultra autopiloting no ?

[twin osprey]

no clue tbh

didn't think anyone was there this late

[twin osprey]

I did see the people...

I just didn't think all 4 were there

I only spotted chamber and assumed it's a 1v1

[twin osprey]

also this is completely wrong anyway

I jump spot chamber and scope in on omen

I know chamber is right

I just can't shoot both

wide swinging after seeing one was a mistake

and I pull out the knife after 1 shot because I'm trying to escape the people on the right that I know are there

[twin osprey]

I feel like ur like super fucking wrong and have no idea, no offense

me making a mistake doesn't mean I'm autopiloting

I consciously made a bad decision not knowing it was one

@supple nexus :333 need your vod review ong fr fr

[stark spruce]

Just because you speak after death does not mean u are not autopiloting idk

[twin osprey]

You're right, but just because I DO speak after does not mean I am autopiloting

I rarely auto pilot

and when I do

I usually play better (no exactly sure why this is honestly)

[stark spruce]

I read earlier i think u were talking about taking bad fights i think you should just speak why you are swinging/holding what you are and if u are comfortable/uncomfortable doing what you are doing

Woohoojin did a chart on weapons which could help i dont have it though

If u would like to wait fir the other guy u can but i would be open to call and go over the whole VOD

[supple nexus]

Go ahead I'm gonna be free to look over only tomorrow. @twin osprey go for it w him. I'll give my thoughts tomorrow dw

Round by round on call can be super helpful

[stark spruce]

Thats what i was thinking

[twin osprey]

I usually swing cause I think it's a free kill (because I'm better than 4/5 people on the enemy team)

[twin osprey]

wdym

[twin osprey]

nah I'm grinding aimlabs rn

I can on thursday

[twin osprey]

nrn

[twin osprey]

I know

[twin osprey]

I might be able to sneak in an hour today

but I doubt it

[stark spruce]

Js say a time then im free most the day after 4 est pretty sure

[stark spruce]

Js like a diagram on what weapons are for like distance and how mobile they are help u take better fights

[twin osprey]

4pm you mean?

so that's 8 pm for me

pretty sure

gmt + 1

aka cest

[twin osprey]

ignore weapon restrictions, always use guardian

[stark spruce]

Yeah 4 pm

What time is it for u rn?

[twin osprey]

5pm

cest

it's 11am for you rn

close to 12pm

[twin osprey]

@stark spruce is 780ms reaction time really that bad?

@supple nexus I meant it can't be thaaat bad, right?

...<

[supple nexus]

780

you cant be alive. but more importantly probably some hardware fucking up

[twin osprey]

no

I meant in game

also

In a different clip I had a 380ms reaction time and I flicked across half my screen and clicked the target within 115ms

is that good?

[supple nexus]

all of this is something you really dont need to think about i promise you, and if woohoojin was here he would promise you the same

T.T

[twin osprey]

nah but 780

that was longer than my reaction time on the other clip + the flick combined + 280ms

a different clip now

reaction time: 230ms
flick time: 220ms

is that good?

@supple nexus

[supple nexus]

.

[twin osprey]

fair enough, but the 780ms 😭

that was only the reaction time

[supple nexus]

You fell asleep

[twin osprey]

lol (I didn't)

I was actively holding an angle and iso even stepped into my damn crosshair

🤡 🔫

my brain ong lagged

I shoot the position he was at like 300ms prior

how do I stop this from ever happening again?

@silent monolith you wanna join in?

[silent monolith]

What did I miss

Join what

[twin osprey]

is 780ms reaction time bad?

[twin osprey]

discussion on reaction and flick times

[silent monolith]

Oh I don’t know I haven’t checked mine

Well I have I just don’t remember it

There’s the uh human benchmark thing but it’s not flicks it’s just pure reaction time

[twin osprey]

my pure reaction time was 780ms in valorant

[silent monolith]

What does it mean

How did u check it

[icy ember]

this doesn’t mean your raw reaction time is bad

it means you don’t expect to fight

focus

expect people to show up

[twin osprey]

I counted the frames

[twin osprey]

I did

5 sec earlier I called out "iso already backsite"

and was literally looking at the angle where he peeked out

[twin osprey]

I did

[icy ember]

you knowing hes there does not mean you expect this

do a human benchmark test

right now

[twin osprey]

my reaction time when I don't expect someone is 380ms and the flick was 115ms (which is below 500ms in total)

[twin osprey]

I wanted to fight

him

[icy ember]

and you reacted

[twin osprey]

bro I know my reaction time is below 200

[icy ember]

in 780ms?

[twin osprey]

yes

I can show you the clip

it's honestly astounding

[icy ember]

that just doesn’t happen it means you didn’t truly expect him man 😭

[twin osprey]

I lagged

my brain I mean

so lemme break it down rq:

iso peeks close, then swings slightly more to the left, then 780ms later I realize he's there and shoot the position where he was 300ms ago

but like

the perfect head flick

in the past

I'll just send the clip ngl

it's hard to explain

posting

https://medal.tv/games/valorant/clips/jtBb1h0kK0BSfrWCl?invite=cr-MSxyWlAsMTk5NjE3MzU5LA @icy ember

[silent monolith]

Did you try human benchmark

Like

[twin osprey]

bro

I know my reaction time

[silent monolith]

The reaction time test

[twin osprey]

it's just idk why it was so slow this time

mine is like 170 on a good day and 190 on a bad day

[silent monolith]

Pretty sure that ping and fps are also factors

[twin osprey]

not that big

[silent monolith]

• ingame you don’t always expect the enemy

[twin osprey]

to make it go up to 780ms

[silent monolith]

• a lot of angles

[twin osprey]

check the clip

[twin osprey]

I was

[twin osprey]

literally looking there

[silent monolith]

What’s wrong w it

I just see u started tracking her before shooting

[twin osprey]

bruh you don't see it??

[twin osprey]

I didn't

I was just bobbing back and forth

[silent monolith]

Do you expect to insta tap her

[twin osprey]

her?

iso?

anyway

[twin osprey]

nah I expected someone to peek in the general area of my crosshair

I was actually pretty focused on it

I was holding close as you can tell because when iso swung I was looked at the feet

[silent monolith]

OH LMAO

I didn’t see the full clip mb

I thought u meant raze

😭😭

[twin osprey]

idc about pronouns I was just confused who you were talking about

[twin osprey]

nah that was fine lmao

[silent monolith]

Yeah lemme rewatch the clip rq

Feel like you weren’t focused at all

[twin osprey]

oki

[silent monolith]

If you were actually looking there you would’ve killed him

Or at least shoot before

[twin osprey]

but how come I shoot exactly where iso was standing?

[twin osprey]

I was

I wasn't looking map or anything

I knew iso was gonna swing soon and I expected a fight

also not expecting a fight it my main strength imo

I win the unwinnable

and lose the unlosable

[silent monolith]

How come the raze one was okay and the iso wasn’t

[twin osprey]

now we're getting somewhere

that is a great question

and I have no idea

[silent monolith]

Does it happen frequently

Or just few times

[twin osprey]

few times

very rarely

[silent monolith]

Probably lost focus then

Leave it

Focus on other stuff

[twin osprey]

sometimes I don't notice something in the corner of my screen but happens I guess

[silent monolith]

If it happens again lmk

[twin osprey]

ok

[silent monolith]

Are you still good btw

Good

GOLD

[twin osprey]

nah

silver 2

https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/GG Rawr%23UWU/overview

[twin osprey]

but yea I'm still good

[silent monolith]

I see ur stats from last act

It doesn’t mean a lot but ur kast was very low

[twin osprey]

I get baited

I'm oftentimes the one that pushes out and and gains a lot of space but loses their life

but as long as we win the round yk

[silent monolith]

No ur not

Your KAST would’ve been higher if u were

[twin osprey]

higher?

what

[silent monolith]

Kill, assist, survived, traded

[twin osprey]

who said I'm getting traded

[silent monolith]

What does being baited mean

[twin osprey]

either

you get killed

[silent monolith]

Being used as a bait to trade

[twin osprey]

your teammate swings late

[silent monolith]

It’s in its name

[twin osprey]

to get an easy kill

or

you tell your team you're going in

it looks like they're going with you

but then suddenly they all stop in main

[silent monolith]

So in other words you just expect ur team to do stuff that you think is obvious

[twin osprey]

you're out on site for 5 sec and die

[twin osprey]

is it obvious that we have to plant the spike?

[silent monolith]

I mean swing for example

[twin osprey]

I swing

no one

I go further no one

team pretends to follow

[silent monolith]

Get a duo then

That will do as you ask

[twin osprey]

suddenly they're like on the other side of the map (overexaggeration)

[silent monolith]

He will swing with you

Or she

[twin osprey]

then 2 of us can die on site
