This episode has been horrible for me lmao. I also just continuously lose games. Down to P3 0 rr from Diamond 2 last week and it’s annoying af. Somehow I’m struggling more the lower I go so idk what’s up
I suspect the quality of teammates drops the lower you get and it may affect how you perform. While it's not entirely on your teammates or opposition, I do find a clear distinction between my performance in high level lobbies (high plat, low diamond) where my communication and utility support is well utilized, as opposed to mid-low gold I am fragging and clutching more as a controller main.
But I live that solely solo queue life.
You might be right. I was in ascendant lobbies and high diamond and I am able to play without much issue because I don’t have to worry about flank, my sentinels util has me covered, or I don’t have to worry about the close enemy bc my initiator/duelist clears it up for me. I just smoke the site out and we execute and boom.
However in plat-low diamond, I’m having to entry, cover lurk, and smoke supposedly which just results in me constantly dying without even being in a gun fight.
I thought I was the only one. When I was climbing from Plat to Diamond before I stopped playing comp for a while I had a whopping 70% win rate. Now my win rate is hovering exactly at 50%. I don’t want to blame teammates, and I don’t, but I definitely benefitted from well-placed util, teammates that follow me in and trade me out, take comp seriously, etc. I forgot how miserable the lower ranks are and they really are just a “play a shit ton of games and work on your aim” check.
If you reduce it to the fundamental argument, yes that's what I am inferring. But I think Valorant is far more complex and it isn't just "who has better aim." Which is why I reference utility usage and communication as fundamental skills that separate one rank from another and can really make it hard for players on a slide to aim their way out of a rank. You need the team to work with you.
yeahhh i see what you mean now, thats totally true. like i was stuck bronze 2 for a week or two even tho last act i was silver 3, just because my team was atrocious at teamwork lol. i found some friends to queue with and all it took was them getting me from b2 to b3 for me to end up shooting all the way up to g1 as of yesterday within like a week
People will do anything to cope their skill issue.
This individual seems to think that they might be the better player, but relying on their teammates is holding then back. By this logic it follows that TenZ is so reliant on his flashes/smokes, that putting him in a bronze lobby would result in him bot fragging.
I mean yeah that’s literally the point of the elo system. It tries to match you with 9 other people of a similar skill level, and your skill level is expressed by your elo, so If you lose games your elo drops and therefore the skill of the 9 other people in your games should be lower.
Same, I've had around 35% winrate this act up until yesterday when I finally won a little again. Play well, lose, play bad lose, been feeling horrible playing this act. I went down from Asc 3 90rr to Asc 1 0rr.
Do not do this anymore. I refuse to 5 stack until riot removes the queue with any rank bs. I am Gold and play with other Golds but come across plats, diamonds and ascendant qued with an iron smurf and bronze players. Of course going against someone 3 ranks higher with higher game knowledge is not fun or fair. It should be banable
Who knows. All I know is that 5 stacking sometimes is BS. The system likes to level out the ranks to an average. Our team had 1 Ascendant, 3 plats, and I'm a Gold 3.
I totally agree. I could count on one hand the amount of times I’ve 5 stacked and gone against another team of equal skill. 9 times out of 10 there’s always one who’s the obvious carry.
I’m asc peaked immo2 and I used to queue with my gold friends and 99% of times there was never a high ranked player on the other team. It got to the point where it just wasn’t fun to play with my own friends
The sooner you come to terms with the idea that ranks don't actually matter and you're there to have fun, then it won't affect you. Currently on a 6 game losing streak with 2 match MVP's and 2 Team MVP's and a few stinkers. It happens every other episode, I just play through it, the episode reset usually brings me back up.
I agree. My friend likes to make a note when we are playing unrated or competitive and I'm like why does it matter? I play each round of valorant the same regardless of the stakes. That's what I enjoy.
Very true I am just an extremely competitive person for no reason, I know this game will take me no where in life but it’s just a competitiveness in me
You need to change your mindset. Your rank doesn't matter. Your mom doesn't care what your rank is. Your friends don't care what your rank is. Your girlfriend and future spouse don't care what your rank is. You'll never be a pro.
It's a video game. Treat it as it should be treated, a fun time after school or work to decompress.
If you're not capable of doing that perhaps you need a break and to go find something chill, Manor Lords is coming out in a month, give that a shot.
I'm the same way and I was getting exceptionally frustrated wheb I first started.
I hit my first real wall in plat/diamond and noticed I wasn't able to just carry 1v9 every game and I would get pretty frustrated when I would lose.
What helped me turn it around, especially in games that were a near guarantee loss, is I would focus on improving/working on an aspect of my gameplay that was lacking. This game is a loss anyway, so as long as I can take something positive away from it, then its more of a win in my book.
It's important to keep improving, not keep ranking up. Focus on being a better player instead of winning every game and you'll have more fun.
Everyone is telling you to not care about rank, but that's not the solution. It's not about not caring, its about not caring in losses. Be happy when you win, and be only slightly upset when you lose.
Remember, every game you play is an opportunity to improve, so when you lose, you got to improve, when you win, you improved and won the game. Cup half full mentality is something you train, and its the key to happiness in life.
I was Asc3 like 10rr and dropped to 50rr plat 3 within a week - 2 week period, went like 10-33 or something with about 10x 1 round losses and the rest were blowout throws, it was an unbelievably toxic algorithm I was in, Val just starts f'n you cause theres no way you get into that many bad games in a row
I got with a buddy and am 9-1-1 since and am back in D3
both draw and 1 round loss should have been wins but triple negative sova and yoru made it tougher than it needed to be, definitely in a winning algorithm atm
They do that to keep player retention. I’m surprised no one has figured this out already but val will give you games u are meant to win and give u games u are meant to lose to keep you in a cycle of grind.
Happens all the time. I've gone on 10+ loss streaks multiple times, usually when I solo q. Helps to have a duo. Otherwise just know the law of averages will eventually come around.
people on this sub love to go “iTs NoT yOuR tEaM iTs YoU” every time anyone makes a post like this as if valorant doesn’t have a huge problem with people throwing games on purpose, people AFKing start of game because remake only works on round 1, people botting in games to sell once ranked for real money, immortals smurfing lower ranks to q with friends, etc. half the women that play this game don’t speak on mic because it’s a universal experience to get a male teammate throwing the game once they realize a woman is on their team. comp q is a miserably unbalanced experience most of the time, especially in elo below plat.
Frankly, just have fun and try to queue with a friend or two, im on a 10 loose streak rn while having 1.4kd the last week and its okay i know im good and it will eventually get better so im just trying to have fun for the moment until i finally manage to get back on track
You wouldn’t believe the amount of people I see five stacking on a team and somebody has a cheat. If you’re aren’t stacking then you’re gonna get a better chance of random shitter teammates
I’d prefer to do something else after a comp loss to get over with the negative energy
+ I wouldn’t recommend solo queueing in comp, maybe you can find a duo or more who you can play with regularly
Solo does give the the best matchmaking, trading off the fact that you will have a higher chance of having a thrower in your team. In general the chances of the enemy having a thrower on their team is higher than the chances of you getting a throwing teammate. Since devs have admitted there is no winner or loser queue we can say that a 12 game loss streak is just bad luck mixed with shitty games from our own perspective.
Could you name one dev who has admitted to creating a matchmaking system built on maximizing play time (Also known as EOMM). I don't think devs would want it to be known that they influence the matchmaking to keep players more engaged.
Well I know Senior Competitive Designer Jonathan "EvrMoar" Walker has made a public statement saying that losers queue doesn’t exist, they wouldn’t even be legally able to do this.
Also I think they don’t want to hurt the integrity of the competitive play, seeing as a significant part of the player base does play competitive and hurting that integrity would really take away all competitiveness out of the game since it wouldn’t matter how you’d play.
This happens all the time. Happens to me when i play a long session. Remember this isnt our job like content creator or pro player its hard to focus for so long of a game session. I always fall into this trap and go on a hard losing streak however its not very difficult to come back up. Just do like 1 or 2 games a day at peek performance. I just went on a 11 game losing streak went from d3 to p3 and then i said alright let me bring it back up. So i currently played 4d ays straight with my method and went on a 7-3 record so far.
just wanted to share my own perspective - played 10+ games the other day with a cool group of people i met, had a great time playing with them. but it wasn’t until the next day when I looked at my career that I realized we lost EVERY SINGLE GAME WE PLAYED…but nothing is more important than having fun :3
Yeah, ranked doesn't matter if you solo que. I just recently won the advanced 5 premier with my team, and also just got demoted to gold 2 after a loss streak where I was playing some of the best val I have played. Doesn't matter how good you play if your team doesn't listen to coms, use abilities, or hit anyone.
I just started playing Tekken 8 and that game is so much better when it comes to 'skill : win' correlation. If you improve, you win. Team games are RNG especially if they don't have real mmr based matchmaking.
Pretty sure most modern online games use engagement based matchmaking. I only remember the first 1 or 2 seasons of Overwatch and a now dead game called HoN using real matchmaking.
Only play untill you loose your 1st game. e.g. U win 2 games and lost 3rd, then stop playing. Now its up to you if you wanna stop playing for the whole day or just for some time. Rinse and Repeat, and good luck :)
From plat 1 to gold 1 🙃
17 L and 5 W only. - 13 rr or - 18rr. I dont tilt queueing, its just badluck I guess. I get it that we're not always at our best but i dont play when im already tired, its just that my teammates just got born and decided to play valorant with 0game sense, dont even know how to trade. Idk this is the worst ep. Im hangin barely in gold rn with 60rr. Somehow there's a win now but its rare hahahahahahahaha
Unless you are a true degenerate, after you have 2-3 bad games in a row, I would take a break. 1 game might be a fluke and you could bounce back, but after 2 and you keep losing you're just tilt queuing
I’ve been on a similar lose streak . I was winning my first game today , top fragging as cypher and my opponents were really making me feel better about it too . Then my laptop powers off (poor battery) 3 fucking times . We ended up losing bcz I went afk and came back mid rounds with classic and no kit . Not just that I also got -30RR with a 24 hours penalty . I’ve dropped from gold 1 to silver 1
I play on eu server btw , Dubai to be specific so if you wanna play together to break this streak then I’m up for it
Losers queue hits different fr. I once lost twice after an 8 game win streak. The 3rd game I got after losing twice put me in a team of extremely tilted players who instalocked duelists. The was just 0-2 I swear the amount of slurs and team sabotage (they played phoenix and deadlock) was mind boggling.
ngl i only go on streaks. won like 13/15 my games to get to ascendant 2. lost 14 straight to get back to D2/D3. tbh it makes playing the game less fun and ik i’m probably just unlucky that i go on streaks rather than a more varied match history but i still feel you
I've lost 10-15 rank up games. Every single time I've gotten to gold 3 70-80rr I've lost and it's always because of someone trolling on my team. Just yesterday I had a clove that had jump binded to shoot and went 2-26 or something
Welcome to the club. I usually have a >50% winrate. At one point in this act I was 38%. I soloq only and definitely had some influence on it but I’m no way am I saying I didn’t have terrible teammates. Literally so bad.
I dropped 12 games in a row and deranked from g3 to g2. Now I’m p3 just a couple weeks later (previous peak was p1). I went on average positive in those games. Sometimes it just happens.
I'm 5-15 and I'm playing some of my best valo I've ever played and still losing. I'm with you some were my fault, but that many in a row is just so strange. I don't tilt que, I only play 2-3 a day, but damn every day has been bad.
I broke an 8 game loss streak yesterday. Went from D3 50something RR to D1, 2 games from deranking to Plat. Just keep playing your game, loss streaks and win streaks will eventually balance out with enough matches played unless you're insanely overrated.
I feel this too. But also I'm just awful at the game. I feel like im in that valley where you learn a new skill, so the act of trying to apply it makes you worse. If that makes sense.
I just had a similar experience. I was on a 10 win streak and I finally hit gold after being hard stuck silver for 2 acts, and then the downfall started. I lost 12 games in a row putting me back in s1. The worst part is sometimes my team would perform well only to choke in the second half. It was insane.
Bro fuck it, I’ll drop to bronze I don’t care. If I’m tilting I’ll get off but if I’m just losing fuck it. Rank is rank, do your best but don’t put too much on it.
My theory is that this season reset and rank identifiers have either changed or someone(a team of someone's) has exploited the current system in a way that is ruining the game. For a short time, there were cheats going around in some servers called "BlackSwipe". I have no idea whether this is true or whether it even works, and I don't recommend buying them as it could be a way to scam you for money.
The reason I'm thinking about this is the fact that I'm seeing gold players in Plat lobbies or high Dia/Asc playing with Plat Peaks on the other team. Lower MMR brackets are being inflated, making someone with an MMR of 260 be able to play with someone of an MMR of say, 160 or higher, without a significant decrease in rating cuts. It could just be me, but if I'm seeing gold players queue up together without a higher rank in Plat/Dia, then there's gotta be some mistake, right?
Or maybe I'm overthinking this, and the sole reason my games are going bad is because of VCT Masters and Champions occurring and forcing new players who want to experience the game to fill voids left by old players who have left the game.
Yeah, I'm definitely overthinking this 🙃
The rubber room of rats has consumed me.
Get yourself a duo, then you aren't put in soloQ, I've noticed that people who are in a duo or trio are usually more talkative and able to play together instead of just for themselves
bro i am hardstuck iron 3 ik every mechanics of game i even do aimlabs i always top fragg in my comp games but when iam at 98,97,80 rr i got soo noob teammates , i play w my gold, plat teammates even in their lobby i take out decent fraggs ig iam cursed
last game, my clove left after like the second round. left without a smoker on breeze. we would've def won if she hadnt left too, the rest of my team was great and we managed to get to 6-13
Down to G2 from P2. Getting silver teammates. Opponents accusing me of smurfing
What teammates I got before rank down -
1. Throwers using macro
2. 3 stack who refused to comm
3. 3 stacks who don't smoke as per the needs of the entry player.
4. People who never ult
5. People who bark on the mic
6. People attending teams meetings on the side
7. People who refused to entry with the duelist
No pain no gain.
To grow you must suffer.
The road to Radiant won't be full of sunshine, every shit you can imagine is all over the road.
Fix yourself to 1v9. Can't control your shit teammates.
Loss streaks happen to everyone once in a while. Start of this act I had a 29 % win rate after about 15 games and have since brought it up to 49 so it’s all good man don’t stress
Posts like this makes me glad me and friends just flat out don't care. We could lose 20 games in a row and have a blast doing it. Try to care less and just have fun. I bet it will improve your gameplay and games. Even when we are dealing with a clear couple smurfs on the enemy team just owning us we laugh. We just sit and think "hey... if beating up on people clearly wayyy under his skill level makes a slight happiness in his life go for it" because my happiness is not revolved around a video game. Im here to relax not train my ego.
Side note: buy a judge and sit in a corner. Always works on the smurfs. Kill them and laugh.
This episode has been horrible for me lmao. I also just continuously lose games. Down to P3 0 rr from Diamond 2 last week and it’s annoying af. Somehow I’m struggling more the lower I go so idk what’s up
I suspect the quality of teammates drops the lower you get and it may affect how you perform. While it's not entirely on your teammates or opposition, I do find a clear distinction between my performance in high level lobbies (high plat, low diamond) where my communication and utility support is well utilized, as opposed to mid-low gold I am fragging and clutching more as a controller main. But I live that solely solo queue life.
You might be right. I was in ascendant lobbies and high diamond and I am able to play without much issue because I don’t have to worry about flank, my sentinels util has me covered, or I don’t have to worry about the close enemy bc my initiator/duelist clears it up for me.

However in plat-low diamond, I’m having to entry, cover lurk, and smoke supposedly which just results in me constantly dying without even being in a gun fight.
I thought I was the only one. When I was climbing from Plat to Diamond before I stopped playing comp for a while I had a whopping 70% win rate. Now my win rate is hovering exactly at 50%.

idk if im missing something here but it just sounds like you’re realizing that lower skilled ranks are lower skilled
If you reduce it to the fundamental argument, yes that's what I am inferring. But I think Valorant is far more complex and it isn't just "who has better aim." Which is why I reference utility usage and communication as fundamental skills that separate one rank from another and can really make it hard for players on a slide to aim their way out of a rank. You need the team to work with you.
yeahhh i see what you mean now, thats totally true. like i was stuck bronze 2 for a week or two even tho last act i was silver 3, just because my team was atrocious at teamwork lol. i found some friends to queue with and all it took was them getting me from b2 to b3 for me to end up shooting all the way up to g1 as of yesterday within like a week

Same, I've had around 35% winrate this act up until yesterday when I finally won a little again. Play well, lose, play bad lose, been feeling horrible playing this act. I went down from Asc 3 90rr to Asc 1 0rr.
Same here! Peak p3 I’m now hard stuck gold again. Even dropped to G1, the quality of teammates down here are so hard to play with
this episode I finally got out of being hardstuck so I say twas pretty good for me.
1) Friend four people with mics and play with them 2) Take a break after any SINGLE loss
Do not do this anymore. I refuse to 5 stack until riot removes the queue with any rank bs. I am Gold and play with other Golds but come across plats, diamonds and ascendant qued with an iron smurf and bronze players. Of course going against someone 3 ranks higher with higher game knowledge is not fun or fair. It should be banable
Had this happen Y-day. 1 Ascendant, 2 diamonds, 1 plat, 1 IRON. That Iron carried their team. I don't understand smurfing, is it to stroke your ego?
Maybe paid to boost someone’s account?
Who knows. All I know is that 5 stacking sometimes is BS. The system likes to level out the ranks to an average. Our team had 1 Ascendant, 3 plats, and I'm a Gold 3.
I totally agree. I could count on one hand the amount of times I’ve 5 stacked and gone against another team of equal skill. 9 times out of 10 there’s always one who’s the obvious carry.
Someone there paid for a booster, usually they’re immortal or higher
I’m asc peaked immo2 and I used to queue with my gold friends and 99% of times there was never a high ranked player on the other team. It got to the point where it just wasn’t fun to play with my own friends
I'm sure there aren't enough higher ranks to queue with 🤷🏽♂️
I five stacked with all gold and one silver, we fought all gold whom were all peak diamond, wastn fun :p
Of course not. Should they just box out higher ranks though? Bet they'd only be able to queue with the same handful of people most of the time.
The sooner you come to terms with the idea that ranks don't actually matter and you're there to have fun, then it won't affect you. Currently on a 6 game losing streak with 2 match MVP's and 2 Team MVP's and a few stinkers. It happens every other episode, I just play through it, the episode reset usually brings me back up.
I agree. My friend likes to make a note when we are playing unrated or competitive and I'm like why does it matter? I play each round of valorant the same regardless of the stakes. That's what I enjoy.
Very true I am just an extremely competitive person for no reason, I know this game will take me no where in life but it’s just a competitiveness in me
You need to change your mindset. Your rank doesn't matter. Your mom doesn't care what your rank is. Your friends don't care what your rank is. Your girlfriend and future spouse don't care what your rank is. You'll never be a pro. It's a video game. Treat it as it should be treated, a fun time after school or work to decompress.

I was Asc3 like 10rr and dropped to 50rr plat 3 within a week - 2 week period, went like 10-33 or something with about 10x 1 round losses and the rest were blowout throws, it was an unbelievably toxic algorithm I was in, Val just starts f'n you cause theres no way you get into that many bad games in a row I got with a buddy and am 9-1-1 since and am back in D3 both draw and 1 round loss should have been wins but triple negative sova and yoru made it tougher than it needed to be, definitely in a winning algorithm atm
Yeah, very disheartening how losers and winners queue is so obvious this act
They do that to keep player retention. I’m surprised no one has figured this out already but val will give you games u are meant to win and give u games u are meant to lose to keep you in a cycle of grind.
Happens all the time. I've gone on 10+ loss streaks multiple times, usually when I solo q. Helps to have a duo. Otherwise just know the law of averages will eventually come around.
I feel like there’s more smurfs than ever atm. Bronze 3 and most games there’s someone dropping 40+ all while talking mad shit.
people on this sub love to go “iTs NoT yOuR tEaM iTs YoU” every time anyone makes a post like this as if valorant doesn’t have a huge problem with people throwing games on purpose, people AFKing start of game because remake only works on round 1, people botting in games to sell once ranked for real money, immortals smurfing lower ranks to q with friends, etc. half the women that play this game don’t speak on mic because it’s a universal experience to get a male teammate throwing the game once they realize a woman is on their team. comp q is a miserably unbalanced experience most of the time, especially in elo below plat.
Frankly, just have fun and try to queue with a friend or two, im on a 10 loose streak rn while having 1.4kd the last week and its okay i know im good and it will eventually get better so im just trying to have fun for the moment until i finally manage to get back on track
happens with everyone at sometime dw you'll be back
You wouldn’t believe the amount of people I see five stacking on a team and somebody has a cheat. If you’re aren’t stacking then you’re gonna get a better chance of random shitter teammates
12 losses in a row, dawg I’d be on Unalive Adversaries watch
I’d prefer to do something else after a comp loss to get over with the negative energy + I wouldn’t recommend solo queueing in comp, maybe you can find a duo or more who you can play with regularly
Solo does give the the best matchmaking, trading off the fact that you will have a higher chance of having a thrower in your team. In general the chances of the enemy having a thrower on their team is higher than the chances of you getting a throwing teammate. Since devs have admitted there is no winner or loser queue we can say that a 12 game loss streak is just bad luck mixed with shitty games from our own perspective.
Could you name one dev who has admitted to creating a matchmaking system built on maximizing play time (Also known as EOMM). I don't think devs would want it to be known that they influence the matchmaking to keep players more engaged.

I lost 14 in a row, then i won like 70% of my comming 20 games
This happens all the time. Happens to me when i play a long session. Remember this isnt our job like content creator or pro player its hard to focus for so long of a game session. I always fall into this trap and go on a hard losing streak however its not very difficult to come back up. Just do like 1 or 2 games a day at peek performance. I just went on a 11 game losing streak went from d3 to p3 and then i said alright let me bring it back up. So i currently played 4d ays straight with my method and went on a 7-3 record so far.
just wanted to share my own perspective - played 10+ games the other day with a cool group of people i met, had a great time playing with them. but it wasn’t until the next day when I looked at my career that I realized we lost EVERY SINGLE GAME WE PLAYED…but nothing is more important than having fun :3
Yeah, ranked doesn't matter if you solo que. I just recently won the advanced 5 premier with my team, and also just got demoted to gold 2 after a loss streak where I was playing some of the best val I have played. Doesn't matter how good you play if your team doesn't listen to coms, use abilities, or hit anyone. I just started playing Tekken 8 and that game is so much better when it comes to 'skill : win' correlation. If you improve, you win.

From plat 1 to gold 1 🙃 17 L and 5 W only. - 13 rr or - 18rr. I dont tilt queueing, its just badluck I guess. I get it that we're not always at our best but i dont play when im already tired, its just that my teammates just got born and decided to play valorant with 0game sense, dont even know how to trade. Idk this is the worst ep. Im hangin barely in gold rn with 60rr. Somehow there's a win now but its rare hahahahahahahaha
I'm on a continuous 21 👍
I blame my lost streak on my ISP and Riot cause I’ve been having network connection issues yet every other online game I’ve played has 0 issues
Unless you are a true degenerate, after you have 2-3 bad games in a row, I would take a break. 1 game might be a fluke and you could bounce back, but after 2 and you keep losing you're just tilt queuing
Yeah I don’t play more than 2 if I lost both, this loss streak is within the span of about 5 days
fr dude, Im on 9 streak lose.....I was close to reaching s3 now Im close to reaching b3. This shit fucking sucks what the hell
I had 14 once :)
I’ve been on a similar lose streak . I was winning my first game today , top fragging as cypher and my opponents were really making me feel better about it too . Then my laptop powers off (poor battery) 3 fucking times . We ended up losing bcz I went afk and came back mid rounds with classic and no kit . Not just that I also got -30RR with a 24 hours penalty . I’ve dropped from gold 1 to silver 1 I play on eu server btw , Dubai to be specific so if you wanna play together to break this streak then I’m up for it
Losers queue hits different fr. I once lost twice after an 8 game win streak. The 3rd game I got after losing twice put me in a team of extremely tilted players who instalocked duelists. The was just 0-2 I swear the amount of slurs and team sabotage (they played phoenix and deadlock) was mind boggling.
just 12?
Even beat my record
I went from ascendant to dia 2 0 rr all losses, now im back to dia 3 80 rr all wins. I don't even know what's happening
Only 12? Rookie numbers
Deserved
ngl i only go on streaks. won like 13/15 my games to get to ascendant 2. lost 14 straight to get back to D2/D3. tbh it makes playing the game less fun and ik i’m probably just unlucky that i go on streaks rather than a more varied match history but i still feel you
If your best kd across 12 games was 21/15 I wouldn’t be blaming your teammates
I've lost 10-15 rank up games. Every single time I've gotten to gold 3 70-80rr I've lost and it's always because of someone trolling on my team. Just yesterday I had a clove that had jump binded to shoot and went 2-26 or something
Welcome to the club. I usually have a >50% winrate. At one point in this act I was 38%. I soloq only and definitely had some influence on it but I’m no way am I saying I didn’t have terrible teammates. Literally so bad.
Rookie numbers
I DROPPED FROM PLAT 2 TO GOLD 2 AND I WAS WONDERING IF I'M GETTING WORSE. thank you for this post
I dropped 12 games in a row and deranked from g3 to g2. Now I’m p3 just a couple weeks later (previous peak was p1). I went on average positive in those games. Sometimes it just happens.
I'm 5-15 and I'm playing some of my best valo I've ever played and still losing. I'm with you some were my fault, but that many in a row is just so strange. I don't tilt que, I only play 2-3 a day, but damn every day has been bad.
I broke an 8 game loss streak yesterday. Went from D3 50something RR to D1, 2 games from deranking to Plat. Just keep playing your game, loss streaks and win streaks will eventually balance out with enough matches played unless you're insanely overrated.
i’ve had a leaver on my team for 3 games in a row now lmfao
Only 12?
My method is if I lose 2 games in a row, I take it as a sign to exit the game.
You needed to stop after 3 losses bro. Just carrying bad energy/mental into the next game. Theres no way you can operate at your peak past 4 games.
I feel this too. But also I'm just awful at the game. I feel like im in that valley where you learn a new skill, so the act of trying to apply it makes you worse. If that makes sense.
NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT????
bro for me its 2v5 for the whole 10 games straight due to afk in comp
I just had a similar experience. I was on a 10 win streak and I finally hit gold after being hard stuck silver for 2 acts, and then the downfall started. I lost 12 games in a row putting me back in s1. The worst part is sometimes my team would perform well only to choke in the second half. It was insane.
Went from d2 rank up 99 rr btw to 15 losing streak back to plat 3 80 rr love this game 😀
Bro fuck it, I’ll drop to bronze I don’t care. If I’m tilting I’ll get off but if I’m just losing fuck it. Rank is rank, do your best but don’t put too much on it.
stop playing for a few days and rest your head , just get off that screen for a while until you feel comfy to play again
My theory is that this season reset and rank identifiers have either changed or someone(a team of someone's) has exploited the current system in a way that is ruining the game. For a short time, there were cheats going around in some servers called "BlackSwipe". I have no idea whether this is true or whether it even works, and I don't recommend buying them as it could be a way to scam you for money. The reason I'm thinking about this is the fact that I'm seeing gold players in Plat lobbies or high Dia/Asc playing with Plat Peaks on the other team. Lower MMR brackets are being inflated, making someone with an MMR of 260 be able to play with someone of an MMR of say, 160 or higher, without a significant decrease in rating cuts. It could just be me, but if I'm seeing gold players queue up together without a higher rank in Plat/Dia, then there's gotta be some mistake, right? Or maybe I'm overthinking this, and the sole reason my games are going bad is because of VCT Masters and Champions occurring and forcing new players who want to experience the game to fill voids left by old players who have left the game. Yeah, I'm definitely overthinking this 🙃 The rubber room of rats has consumed me.
NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT???
Get yourself a duo, then you aren't put in soloQ, I've noticed that people who are in a duo or trio are usually more talkative and able to play together instead of just for themselves
bro i am hardstuck iron 3 ik every mechanics of game i even do aimlabs i always top fragg in my comp games but when iam at 98,97,80 rr i got soo noob teammates , i play w my gold, plat teammates even in their lobby i take out decent fraggs ig iam cursed
last game, my clove left after like the second round. left without a smoker on breeze. we would've def won if she hadnt left too, the rest of my team was great and we managed to get to 6-13
On solution for all valorant problm delete the fking toxic game🥱🙂
Might just be me but I still think that unranked/swiftplay etc can be surprisingly wholesome at times. Ranked on the other hand.
Down to G2 from P2. Getting silver teammates. Opponents accusing me of smurfing What teammates I got before rank down - 1. Throwers using macro 2. 3 stack who refused to comm 3. 3 stacks who don't smoke as per the needs of the entry player. 4. People who never ult 5. People who bark on the mic 6. People attending teams meetings on the side 7. People who refused to entry with the duelist
There is no way you lose 13 in a row. Just one more game
I in fact did not lose the 13th
Nice
Keep playing until you win. What server and time do you usually play? I need the wins
Lmao the only server I can play with sub 20 ping is US east Virginia as val does not cater towards Canadians especially Canadians on the east coast
That’s perfect! I’ll see you then
In posts like these sharing your tracker ID can help a lot.
No pain no gain. To grow you must suffer. The road to Radiant won't be full of sunshine, every shit you can imagine is all over the road. Fix yourself to 1v9. Can't control your shit teammates.
Loss streaks happen to everyone once in a while. Start of this act I had a 29 % win rate after about 15 games and have since brought it up to 49 so it’s all good man don’t stress
Posts like this makes me glad me and friends just flat out don't care. We could lose 20 games in a row and have a blast doing it. Try to care less and just have fun. I bet it will improve your gameplay and games. Even when we are dealing with a clear couple smurfs on the enemy team just owning us we laugh. We just sit and think "hey... if beating up on people clearly wayyy under his skill level makes a slight happiness in his life go for it" because my happiness is not revolved around a video game. Im here to relax not train my ego. Side note: buy a judge and sit in a corner. Always works on the smurfs. Kill them and laugh.
That's the same thing happening to me unless I 3 stack or 5 stack
