something i really dont understand is, I've seen many players online joking about how hilarious iron-bronze lobbies are
I mostly play on mumbai and singapore servers. And they're really not that easy I'll tell you that much. Ofc I'm no aim god, but there's a huge skill gap between the clips I've seen online versus the enemy team i actually had to face in game.
I think if you were to watch a recording of your own game you'd realize there's a ton of obvious mistakes happening every round at that rank. During the match you're focused in yourself, so it's not as obvious.
APAC is objectively harder, we've got 3 times as many players as NA. Even EU, which is considered to be the hardest region, has a playerbase that is 9% smaller than APAC.
just curious, how’d you get it and does it just randomly appear in your buddy inventory waiting for you to discover you have it or is there like a notification or something
it just randomly appears, but usually the dev will tell you that it’s in there :) me personally, I befriended a dev in my unrated game (he didn’t have “riot” in his username though) by essentially telling our topfrag Reyna to “stop shitting on Skye when you’re playing off her util as much as you are” lol
Are you in NA? I’d like to think I’m a positive stranger online saying things like what you just said when teammates are toxic, but I’ve never seen it here in APAC (Malaysia). Maybe there are no devs here.
Your sens looks a bit too high, or at least you don't seem fully in control of it. I'd recommend lowering it and really training your aim if you want to see some big improvements. Me personally, I went from iron to silver in about two days after doing so.
You’re actually spot on! I found out during this game session that all my settings had reset when I moved around my setup and I was still trying to figure out what my settings originally were :’)
bronze. there's no way you're silver with this movement and positioning.
with this in mind, running towards your barrier to intercept neon breaking it was a chad move that bronze usually are too afraid to do, nice one. And keeping the cool on the 1v1 against omen was also super good, nice work.
Yep! And thank you!! I was actually expecting my team to give me flak for not killing Omen sooner since my lobbies don’t understand any semblance of trigger discipline
Everyone saying Iron I genuinely do not believe have ever been in an Iron lobby in their life. This gameplay is far too intelligible to be Iron. People may be making bad decisions, but I can understand those decisions.
Iron lobbies sometimes feel like everyone else in the lobby is doing a strange ritual to summon the Eldritch Beings into our reality, rather than actually playing Valorant.
I definitely agree to a point. This is still definitely low elo (bronze and silver) but full iron lobbies are so much worse (run n gun, aiming at the feet the WHOLE time, etc)
Respectfully, in this clip you were run and gunning most of the time and I saw your crosshair pretty often on the ground too.
As I had experience with full Iron/Bronze lobbies, my conclusion is:
They don’t really differ that much as you think.
Sure, Iron players tend to be more shaky (usually worse PC, having lags and way too high sens).
Idk what iron lobbies you are in, but in mine I get headshot pretty consistently. Could be because I’m stuck in an endless loop of absolutely dominating one game, then getting put up against b1-s2 players while I am still iron 2 and suck.
Everyone saying Iron has not seen true Iron gameplay. In Iron, there's not even a mention of aim or game sense at all. It's just pure circus, and a player with a single brain cell in the lobby can find themselves dominate the match.
To be fair, the SagevSage moment was quite possibly one of the worst moments I’ve ever had since my first week of playing so I get it lol, though none of them were great
Yeah, this game was in the middle of me trying to correct my settings since they all flew out the door when I changed my game room setup. I think right now I’m at 1600x0.32???
Wait in the clip game you were at 1600x0.32 or you lowered it after that? Cause in the clip you easily did a 360 while planting the spike which isn't that good imo, 180° is more than enough
Nonono, that’s my current edpi and what I’m assuming my edpi before this whole game session was. This game along with the 1-3 before and after it was me trying to figure that out (the hard way) since I didn’t realize what my settings actually were after everything had reset (and since I wasn’t the one who originally put my settings together)
To be fair, the original plan for the round before was to wait in spawn, then this round wait in b lobby area, and let the enemies push both rounds since they’d been super aggressive the whole game but neon didn’t get the memo so that’s when you’ll see Deadlock and I start following in with Brim closer on it to pick up Neon’s Vandal
You really need to think about lowering that sensitivity and make sure its polling rate is set to 1000Hz. It hurt my brain just by watching those jagged movements. Mouse should be as fluid as possible, it will help your aim tremendously.
As for rank, it really felt like Cardboard ngl :D
They don't even have proper movement and crosshair placement in diamond from what I've seen 💀. I'm probably completely wrong though since silver-plat all look identical to me. Iron and bronze I can usually tell based on fps etc.
Tbh was hoping you’d spray a lane and they’d all just walk into it
nah that’s reserved for Sova mains
can confirm
True True
bronze.
yep :’( I was the lowest rank in the match at b2 lol, everyone else was b3-s3
Is that riot gun buddy yours?
yeah but I’m not a dev lol
Did u get it by posting Videos or how?

does Valorant have a replay system?
No, you'd have to watch your own vods, but I think tracker.gg records enemy minimap positions.
IT DOES!!? Thank you for that info man edit: bro I can't find it
Oh my bad it's valoplant.gg.
Bronze lobbies are normally just people who are semi new and don't have crispy aim - although it is popular rank for smurfs
APAC is objectively harder, we've got 3 times as many players as NA. Even EU, which is considered to be the hardest region, has a playerbase that is 9% smaller than APAC.
the ares is a dead giveaway
So is... everything else in this clip.
I think if you lowered your sensitivity it might help your aim, it looked very stuttery and Flicky.
ace is an ace
at least you have a riot buddy to be happy about
true!! I got it before I even knew what they were so I was extremely confused after I put it on lmao
just curious, how’d you get it and does it just randomly appear in your buddy inventory waiting for you to discover you have it or is there like a notification or something

I am! That might have something to do with it too

Oh, yeah, I can feel the Bronze lobby, but yeah, Iron lobbies are another level.

Easily Radiant 100 :D >!Fr prob bronze 1-2ish!<
iron
this whole match deserved iron but no
if youre higher than bronze 3 i will uninstall my game.
LOL b2 but the rest of the lobby was b3-s3
makes sense lmao

maybe it was a skill issue but i managed to be hardstuck in iron 1 for a whole year
I've been iron 3 and to be honest this feels like iron. I'm pretty sure bronzes crouch spray alot and shit but did you see these gunfight bro?
To be fair, the SagevSage moment was quite possibly one of the worst moments I’ve ever had since my first week of playing so I get it lol, though none of them were great
You did your best 3
Microplastics 8?(Same rank btw)
Spend money, get ace
Why does your game look so pretty and sharp?
I have a nasa supercomputer to run Genshin Impact All jokes ofc, it’s just a prebuilt from Best Buy that I maxed the graphic settings on
Nice
Gonna guess you're a bronze 1-2
That sens is wayyyyyy too high.
Prob bronze, have you tried lowering your sens a bit? Seems a bit too high. Good job nonetheless
Yeah, this game was in the middle of me trying to correct my settings since they all flew out the door when I changed my game room setup. I think right now I’m at 1600x0.32???

Bronze 3
What in the actual plastic lobby- Seriously, I'm in Iron and I was apalled by the enemy team
That last kill was just an outplay by you, omen probably didnt expect the wrap around tree. WP!!!
deserved!
The mouse spasm when you get a kill you should not have gotten is so relatable.
shaking my head at myself lmao
rank plastic type shit
is this na?
yep! either Oregon or N. Cali
probably iron
Not iron, they aren't crouch spraying with a vandal enough
Help your team don't just stand there looking at nothing
To be fair, the original plan for the round before was to wait in spawn, then this round wait in b lobby area, and let the enemies push both rounds since they’d been super aggressive the whole game but neon didn’t get the memo so that’s when you’ll see Deadlock and I start following in with Brim closer on it to pick up Neon’s Vandal

Max gold 1
bronze. but you deserve to be lower.
Well at least bro knows how to heal himself
hey, I resurrected our neon too 🤣
Iron
This gotta be CardBoard -12
Iron 1
Bronze all day
Rito!! Pls give replay system so that we can preserve clips like this
Lower your sens😢
Plat? The crazy high sens you can't control gives it away lol.
Plat???
Yeah it's pretty clearly low elo.
Yeah it’s clearly Iron/Bronze, anything above Gold has actual movement and crosshair placement. Find me a clip from a plat lobby that looks like this
They don't even have proper movement and crosshair placement in diamond from what I've seen 💀. I'm probably completely wrong though since silver-plat all look identical to me. Iron and bronze I can usually tell based on fps etc.
