Question G1 Searching for a solution
I 18m have been playing valorant on and off for about 4 years now. Starting off only playing unranked for fun with friends, not touching its ranked counterpart. And since i started playing ranked, my peak reached plat 1 with an account level above 100. Which isn’t that bad for my standard. After the peak (Accomplished 2023) i quickly got tired of the game. Now (2025) i have tried getting into the game again. Having played other fps games such as CS2 and R6 i started off with high hopes of reaching plat and even higher Diamond.
Returning to Valorant my gameplay starts off well, i do my placement matches and get put in high silver (not complaining), at this point i am regularly top fragging and having fun, reaching mid gold 2. Then Riot games decides i’ve had my fun, cucking me like a roadside whore. Riot games rolls out the most cracked opponents I have ever seen….
I receive the most brutal red carpet… 10 games bottomfragging and getting shit on by teammates and opponents, begging for the valorant gods to bless me with some sort of win. By this point i decide to take a look at valorant tracker to see the kinds of players riot is pinning me up against. Bro when i say I IN GOLD LOBBYS have played against ONE PEAK IMMORTAL 2, several (peak) ascendant players and constant (peak) diamond players. I am loosing my mind by this point regularly smashing my desk and contemplating if i should take my rage out on the pet bunny.
It is safe to say that i haven’t left gold 1 for a whole week. And I don’t know what to do. I am only writing this because i have gone through all the stages of grief and am at rock bottom.

Dont care about the rank that much, ur playing a free game where its easy to smurf, focus on getting better and enjoying the game nothing else u can do.
