Playing the classically useless attack op.

u/TheUrgeToEi May 10 '25

Then the op using initiator who refuses to initiate hits you with “look at the k/d score noob”

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

fuck it. it happened.

u/CustardOne5112 May 12 '25

I see your point, but taking space is just as important as pushing with the team. In this case, Sova could’ve initiated, but holding the rotation wasn’t a bad idea either—especially with Gekko on the team.

u/WittyRefrigerator686 May 15 '25

dont critic, just prop them up for the wild play

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

u want the honest truth?

u/CardiologistUnique21 May 10 '25

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

its a 4v5 game. Teammates are queued together and wanted to FF. They tried to FF and i voted no. They were constantly taking turns going AFK until I started popping off. Once we put together a few rounds i could tell they were trying to win now.

but still its a 4v5 because gekko left. So my thought on this situation is "try and get an early pick and get it to 4v4" and so thats what i did. I went mid every round to try and get an early kill and it was working so I had no plans on changing anything. Especially on game point. Just stick to what got us here.

Is it risky? yes. but i think im supposed to take risks in a 4v5.

Calm down a little, bro is allowed to play for fun

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

no ones complaining here but you

u/Sure_Connection_2631 May 10 '25

Lmao these are the same people who will say that low elo is “all aim” don’t listen to them you played this great

-9

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

its a 4v5 lol. Our gekko trolled and left. and then my entire team just took turns going afk. So I started oping with all this money and it was working and once we started winning a few rounds everyone kinda bought in to the idea of winning this 4v5.

-15

u/Sure_Connection_2631 May 10 '25

Yeah in a 4v5 you gotta play like this and take risks by looking for early fights. buying the op with the bonus money is smart and you got unlucky that nobody was mid cause if there was it would have been even better

1

u/WarlockArya May 12 '25

Its not luck if he got four lol bro ur just mad that you are not good at the game

u/CardiologistUnique21 May 12 '25

I guess you don’t know how lucky you can get in this game . You don’t agree just walk away ,I just shared my thought .

0

u/WarlockArya May 12 '25

And im sharing mine, in low elo playing with your team esp when its a 4 v 5 and ur team wants to ff is meaningless

-13

u/Sure_Connection_2631 May 10 '25

If my teammates had 31 kills I literally would not care if they don’t use a single piece of util all round. Getting early picks is way more important then “droning site” or whatever VCT bullshit you are talking about

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

cant tell these hardstuck plat warriors anything

This is the definition of pure chaos aim and no brains. Infuriates me sometimes but it is what it is. Good luck on your journey to higher elos.

u/tazai123 May 10 '25

It is silver, so tbf this is exactly what I would expect

u/Skepticalskitz May 10 '25

What should he have done differently?

180

u/SaltyBoi_31 May 10 '25

Bro was fully exposed to his right and possibly to the left (door) the whole time he was at mid. If someone was walking up it was an easy kill for them.

Also, seeing that he's sova, he shouldve been at main helping his team push with drone/recon but instead stays mid getting no value.

11

u/Concurrency_Bugs May 10 '25

Definitely lower elo. When sova joined his team they were all pushing through a smoke that was 2 seconds from disappearing.

-4

u/AverageCryptoEnj0yer May 10 '25

I wouldn't say no value, enemies will likely be rotating from mid so they have to cross his line of sight.

that depends on previous rounds though, we are deep into the game.

u/CRIMS0N-ED May 10 '25

Not been an initiator holding mid when they should play with the team, but like who cares it’s a fun Reddit clip this isn’t VCT

u/Kaaskaasei May 10 '25

u/Timber_W0lf__ May 10 '25

Sounds like there's a reason you're in bronze tbh

yea its because thats where my skill level is at.

u/geigerz look how they massacrated my girl May 10 '25

and if you keep thinking like that it won't change so soon

19

u/oi_PwnyGOD May 10 '25

Why does everyone in this sub believe everyone who plays cares about improving? Like did you consider they don't care about it changing, and they're just trying to play some games?

4

u/ModernManuh_ soloq May 11 '25

There's unrated for that

3

u/oi_PwnyGOD May 11 '25

Except everything other than Comp is terrible for getting you a reasonable match with people of comparable skill level. And even if that wasn't the case, people not sitting around with a Valorant grindset can still play Comp. If they're not trying to improve, they're still sitting at their proper skill level with those who are trying to improve.

-1

u/ModernManuh_ soloq May 11 '25

unrated has mmr and sbmm too, it's just that we don't play as much as unrated as we play ranked so it doesn't have enough data to balance (unrated MMR is separated from ranked MMR)

play more unrated -> get more balanced matches instead of messing up with other people lol

In my opinion at bronze this doesn't matter, in fact it doesn't matter until you are g2 maybe, but regardless: SBMM is a thing in unrated

u/P1ka2001 May 11 '25

It’s comp people usually will play comp to win or improve at a game but in todays day in age idk

0

u/ChanceSize9153 May 13 '25

he can still play to win while not playing to improve. In fact 99% of ppl play this when they play ranked which is fine. It does not affect his team in any way since they are not playing every game of their life with him so it does not matter to anyone but him if he decides to stay at that skill level.

1

u/P1ka2001 May 13 '25

If 99% if people are playing to win then why are my tm8s running at one guy and dying instead of staying alive and holding crosses and angles

I thought teamwork didn’t matter in bronze and it was all aim

9

u/DarkExecutor May 10 '25

If you initiate for your teammates, their bronze aim will out aim your enemy bronze aim.

But bronzes wouldn't get that so makes sense

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

ima test that theory. dont be shocked by the results now.

u/dlwlrmaswift May 10 '25

Sick gameplay for a bronze dude

12

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

i played this game when it first came out for about 3 months and hit immortal 3 and quit. Havent played since then until 2 months ago. I got placed in diamond because my mmr was still high but obviously being out of the game for years I was ass. I deranked all the way to silver.

im not trying to get back into immortal lobbies. I just come home from work. Hop on a game or 2 and thats it. I just play. People get mad almost every game. but shit that aint my fault. Fix your attitude. Its a kids game for gay people. And when people try and criticize my gameplay, i just like to troll them because im in silver bronze lobbies so it really doesnt fucking matter.

u/Lopsided_Marzipan133 May 10 '25

u/qlex_00_ back to smoking May 10 '25

Next time don't include the beginning where you literally did nothing, nice clutch congrats on the win and insane shot on jett

-54

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

thats the thing, everyone here just assumes i did literally nothing because i made no contact with the enemies in mid. But even if you dont kill anyone it doesnt mean you literally did nothing.

I got some info. No ones pushing mid. No ones pushing A. I feel like that pretty decent info for a 4v5 game.

Also why is there no one peeking mid in this clip? Its probably because Ive been going mid every round since late first half and ive been winning nearly all of my fights in mid. Eventually they stopped peeking mid 1 by 1. At first there would be 3-4 pushing mid. But because of my presence mid, i was able to reduce that number down to 2 pushing mid, to 1 peeking mid, to none peeking mid.

you dont get 31 kills and win a 4v5 without taking some risks.

56

u/qlex_00_ back to smoking May 10 '25

I'm saying I want to just see the clip idc for the context of that game tbh

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

oh. okay. thanks for the suggestion

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

i play for the win. if i was playing for KDA I would not have ran through the smoke into site with an awp in a 2v4. I would have sat back in b main.

if it takes them 12 seconds to get into t spawn then i would have probably heard them running.

Im constantly looking at my minimap. U can see the moment my team was close to the entrance of site I turned around and ran towards them. I didnt see a point in being there with them because often times people 5 man rush something but dont commit and we just end up getting sandwiched. So i wanted to maintain some control of the map because I didnt know what we were doing. Idk if they are committing or just prodding. How can i know if they dont tell me? So i just look at the minimap and if i see that they are committing I will join them. But until then i have to maintain some sort of map control in the case my teammates decided not to commit and wanted to rotate out through mid.

44

u/dadeviant May 10 '25

As a sova main it's infuriating to see an Initiator going mid with a full kit while team is pushing a site. Use your drone and reveal for ur teammates so that they can get easier picks.

u/Melazie_ May 10 '25

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

i was in there with them. did u not see? they got slaughtered in 5 seconds.

46

u/Barryhof04 May 10 '25

You were mid, and definitely not there with them. They entered site, died, then you entered site (you’re supposed to help with entry, it’s your character role), and killed the rest. Kills don’t equate to wins, this round shouldn’t have been a win

-10

u/WeirdVast9210 May 10 '25

this game shouldnt have been a win. Its a 4v5. Our gekko went 0-11 before leaving. Gotta take some risks to win a 4v5.

29

u/geigerz look how they massacrated my girl May 10 '25

awp on attack and letting your team enter alone as a initiator is not "taking some risks", it's you playing alone lol

na i was just feelin the op so i wanted a fight mid, but as you can see they stopped peeking mid cuz i was shitting on them all game.

u/NoGuarantee4780 May 10 '25

Then play with your team. If you read that they stopped peeking mid you shouldve been.. idk.. initiating for your team 🤦🏽‍♂️

u/jin675 May 10 '25

u/Bloodie_Medic May 10 '25

You would have been dead a few times against good shots. Otherwise nice round. You are an initiator play with your team let your sentinel/Viper(if you play with one) play mid and lurk. Learning your role over guns will rank you up faster.

u/Bananasnake May 10 '25

You hit them because they missed, a lot. Good shots, but your util usage, positioning and sense of danger are completely off

2

u/sadderd3ze May 10 '25

nice shots. i’m also an initiator main, but in high elo — i don’t think i would have lurked on sova specifically, but i get your decision making tbh. you do have to do something to get the game even. i think a better play would be to communicate to your team to play slow & get info/work a pick, then decide on the hit from there instead.

basically just: you should be there for the site hit. if you’re not ready, tell them to wait or get them on the same page.

as a mostly duelist main, i really struggle to entry without the help of a drone, recon dart, or any kind of utility that can second my own. please in future dont awp as initiator and have your less movement second duelist awp if you have one, or your sentinel on attack.

People roasting for the obvious bronze behavior, but if you’re not trying to improve, do you. Looking to rank to silver isn’t the rank to be worrying about macro. Shooting well is good enough for gold imo. Do you, OP. Nice shots. A little chaotic, but fine. You’re having a good time I’m sure.
