As announced in their Facebook page in Philippines, next VCT Pacific Cup will be hosted in Manila (2027).

Is Chamber actually getting nerfed? It would really suck cause I was literally JUST about to start maining him... bought his contract and everything 😭

I'm sure this us already a heavily debated topic but why does the UI keep regressng?? I'm pretty sure in this batch of UI changes the probably used AI cause a lot of the aspect feel incredibly sloppy. We already had pretty good UI in this game but the first change they made in recent time was decent after we got used to it but after that every few months they keep tweaking it and every new one feels worse than the last lmao. For ex: just look at the new afk indicator in the scoreboard after the game and you'll probably agree with me. It is just half assed.

I have recently come back to the game after a four year break, and back in 2022 when i was super active, high elo was from the perspective of myself as a platinum player at the time as anything above plat.

Yesterday I just ranked up to ascendant, and during my 2 week climb I have made a few posts on here talking about nobody using voice chat and making silly decisions that you would typically see in low elo lobbies.

I come to then find out that there are many different views on what constitutes "high elo" which range from anything from plat and above to immortal and above.

I suppose I'm asking this in an attempt to predict how long it will take for me to not have to be confused as to why my teammates are behaving like golds when I am in much higher lobbies. What rank knows they are a high rank and thus takes themselves seriously when playing ranked? The climb from gold to asc was mainly impeded by a lack of comms, arrogant and fragile-egoed teammates, and trolling.

So i've been like stuck asc for as long as i remember, other than im a very busy person. Is it possible to rank up to imm without grinding alot? if so, is the best way to rank up is to queue with people or what?

This might be confirmation bias but in a lot of the games I have lost in ascendant elo are people who have such a weak mental that they either just don't care anymore and start throwing or get toxic. I just had a match where the clove said he was getting tilted because of the entire team on round 1.

How can you have such a bad mental, especially in the rank where it matters the most.

I like to play viper so im glad Bind is back in the map pool. first match and ace. Hope it stays for a long time.

I was silver 3 last season with a 1.72 Kd and I’m wondering what are the best agents for each role that can carry or are self sufficient. I usually fill every match and I’m ok with playing every role besides initiator.

I’m neon in this btw. My team had a premier playoff a bit ago that was very difficult (we were ranked 89th going against teams that were 2nd, 7th, and 11th)

Safe to say this round boosted team morale and we ended up winning premier!

I admit not every game was perfect, but there are enough decent games in here to justify the absurdity of this much red.

Hello if you having heavy stutters after last patch of Valorant the reason might be Msi Afterburner or Riva Tuner Statistics application.

Close the apps before entering game and it should fix the problem. Worked for me

we gather here today to mourn the loss of a weapon that, despite its reputation, brought us all together.

the bucky was not always liked. it was considered unskilled, cheap, and a disgrace to the art of tactical gunplay.

yet, it was a gun. just like the rest of them.

whether you were a duelist flying into site, a sentinel holding a cheeky corner, an initiator catching someone off guard, or a controller waiting patiently for the perfect moment, the bucky made no exceptions.

it was a weapon for everyone, and everyone knew just how satisfying it was to get a kill with it.

for a brief moment, it gave us all a reason to smile, a reason to laugh, and a reason to make someone question their choice of weapon.

perhaps it flew too close to greatness. perhaps greatness was never meant to last.

on may 12th, 2026, the bucky was put to rest within the buy menu, leaving behind nothing but memories of unsuspecting victims, impossible clutches, and cheeky kills that will never feel quite the same.

today, we remember not just the weapon, but the moments it gave us.

it may be gone, but its legacy will live on in every corner we once held, every push we once stopped, and every enemy who learned the hard way. may it rest in peace.

Plat 1 here, I feel like I do deserve this rank (more so Gold, since I really just don't feel like my mechanics are strong enough to be in Plat), and I just want to ask people what are some gaps in my mechanics that are preventing me from winning more 1v1s. I do have some knowledge on how to peak and stuff but they are still a WIP. Thus I recorded this, though normally I try to play deathmatch without sound as I heard it improved your aim better. (If it's too long please tell me that too)

Honestly? I feel despaired as while I have improved from Bronze earlier this year, my mechanics have not gone up alongside my game sense as much. Any comments would be appreciated.

The Performance Score stats show a clear picture: Controllers and Duelists have a higher average Performance Score than Initiators and Sentinels. This gap between roles becomes even bigger at higher ranks.

Average Performance Score in Ascendant+:

• Controller: 273
• Duelist: 269
• Initiator: 255
• Sentinel: 255

Interestingly, the correlation between Win Rate and Performance Score across agents is very low (~0.085). This is actually a good sign, no? You can still perform well in a loss, and ideally, that individual performance should be reflected in your RR gains/losses too.

Hello, I am beefman, and I like to play valorant

As you all know, I am a valorant player. Therefore, one of the things about valrant is that it has agents. These agnets are in the game and they deserve buffs.

They deserve buffs because i lose my matches because my agent is too week. Also I think they should win me more matches.

Because i am a valorent player, i thought itd be fun to give my ideas of what I think some fair valorunt buffs would be!

Enjoyment!

Astra: stars have no windup time.

Breach: Fault line now knocks agents into the air like his ult does

Brimstone: Orbital Strike creates a molten crater that persists after the beam and damages anyone in it.

Chamber: headshot kills with headhunter spawn a slow field

Clove: Not Dead Yet is available at the start of every round

Cypher: Spy Cam can hold and fire weapons

Deadlock: Grav Net Cocoons enemies

Fade: Seize drags opponents to the center of its radius

Gekko: globules last forever and have no cooldown after reclaiming

Harbor: High Tide, Cove, and Reckoning are all always shielded, and the shields are indestructible

Iso: Double Tap has 150 hp

Jett: 1.0 jett (3 seven second cloudbursts, 2 updrafts, instant tailwind, and ult right click has 3x headshot multiplier and refreshes on kill)

KAY/O: Ulting grants aimbot

Killjoy: turret weapon is replaced with Odin

Miks: M-Pulse affects anyone who can hear it.

Neon: High gear provides a +100% speed boost and +100% jump boost, and maintains the speed boost while airborne

Phoenix: Any time phoenix damages an enemy with an ability, they catch fire, and take continuous damage until they put it out by holding F

Raze: all explosive radiuses are doubled

Reyna: smells better

Sage: Healing orb makes the target immune to debuffs and invincible while active.

Skye: Trailblazer is replaced by Dragon. Dragon can fly and does 150 damage on hit, alt fire to shoot a phoenix molly.

Sova: You can buy up to 10 arrows each round. Any arrow can be used to use Shock Dart, Recon Bolt, or one shot of Hunter’s Fury

Tejo: Guided Salvo has 4 charges and regains a charge every 50 seconds

Viper: toxins deal 150 decay damage

Okay, those are my agent buffs for varolant. Thanks for reading! I’m going to go play more valorent and then go to bed

I only play competitive and im currently in Bronze 3. (Mumbai server)

I'm at early B3 which means a single win or loss promotes me from B2 to B3. All my teammates are from Bronze, but my opponents, minimum two silver players, S2 and once even got a gold player.

There isn't a single game in the past 2 weeks where i had opponents of comparable ranks. Aaand we lose every competitive match, mostly by guys who are in S2 but peaked G3. This is totally not fair, is it only in Mumbai server or what?

Been playing the game for 2 years now, but have never found a character to stick to.

Just really want to climb ranks. Im currently silver 3 and from all the tips i've heard all had one thing in common "find an agent you're comfortable with and climb up with them"

Honestly I'm comfortable playing any role, as im used to fill. But mediocre with them all ngl.

My most played agents as of recent

Duelist: iso, neon, phoenix, yoru

Smokes : astra, clove

Initiator: Skye, Fade, kayo

Senti: Vyse, Kj

Any tips and tricks would mean alot

I've been playing a few games recently and I main sage, but I've hardly gotten any assist after I heal, i even had people test it out and i only got one heal assist so far. Our sova also mentioned heals not happening. Has anyone else feel like they has this issue?

A week ago I was a game from ascendant. Now I’m a game from dropping into plat. This sucks so much I hate this game but can’t stop playing

Ok in short i was watching some clips i had recently to free up my hard drive and I noticed some issues i had and noticed them

1 overexposing myself to too much angles mid fight even though if i lurk (dw with sentinels no lurking reyna here ) i roughly slice the pie it's okish in my rank but mid fight i ignore the wall and instead go out in the open and surprise i find 2 or 3 there

2 strafing and mechanically in general I'm so ass

3 over reload

4 spray panic

5 i act like i spell shooting like a kid

6 mouse hand movement and relying too much on my hands over keyboard and i normally struggle with it xD

So that means I would've gained 3 RR if I'd played like complete trash? I'm not even saying that to complain, I know my MMR is abysmal and I honestly don't care. It just makes me laugh to see GREAT PERFORMANCE for a +10.
