I come from CS, a lot of the mechanics from that game still fight with me learning new ones in this one, and with that comes wild inconsistencies. I have games where things click, and I am an unstoppable force, I have games where if god blessed me himself I wouldn't make a right choice, The VODs below are back to back games.

I feel like I should be able to climb more consistently than I am, I've peaked at Diamond 3 and usually even in off periods of the game been able to float around the mid to high diamond elo after I established myself in the game, but upon coming back to Act 9 I've just not been able to get my feet under me.

Sadly neither VOD caught my audio, I had messed up the OBS settings, but in these 2 games I don't think that plays to much into my performance or lack there of.

I can also add, I still don't know where I feel most comfortable in terms of agent selection, I used to jett main, then I vibed with chamber for a really long time, settled into omen and kinda stayed there but feel like controller isnt best for me. I dabble as mainly a jack of all trades and fill to what my team needs in most situations.

Any tips/feedback would be greatly appreciated, I know I can do better, I just dont know what Im currently doing wrong.

Adding some things that have been mentioned from other communities and answering a few questions they had.

I floated from Master guardian to LE in my time in cs, I'm pretty confident mechanically in most situations.

My role for my usual team which was a 5 stack back in cs days was the loose cannon, I would either entry or lurk depending on the round, it allowed me to go without thinking about our strats and play very selfishly, which is causing a rough transition to valorant as the kit design doesn't allow for an agent that can do both of those things well without failing in a more important category

No longer a jack of trades, focusing on Cypher (kj on certain maps)

Coordinate lurks and attack rounds better with team.

Initiate the rotate or flank quicker on defense.

I’m currently d1. I was stuck in plat like u for about 2-3 months. We can get in a call and go through the cypher vod since hes your main now

One of the main themes I’ve noticed from the cypher vod is u should reposition more. This is very situational thats why we should hop on a call and discuss it
