Hey everyone!
Just wondering, is anyone here still into Valorant? I took a break for about a year, came back recently and… wow, the game’s changed a lot. New agents, new maps, and the meta seems completely different.
Is it still worth grinding in ranked these days?
Let’s gooo! Deadlock mains rising 🔥
Keep grinding, and maybe we’ll catch each other in ranked. Just avoid queueing late at night… it’s chaos out there 😂
Thanks guys! Appreciate the tips. I just tried a DM match and… yep, definitely rusty haha. But I’ll keep at it. That JetX game was weirdly fun ngl 😅
Also Deadlock's utility is insane — already had a 4K with her trap combo. Might’ve found my new main 👀
Wait lol I’ve heard about JetX! My buddy plays it when waiting in queue. Says it’s like gambling meets reflex training 😂@PixelHunter if you're just back, maybe don't stress about aim too much yet — focus on map awareness. Lots of new angles in Sunset and Abyss that weren't around last year.
Yeah Phoenix got power-crept hard, sadly. For warming up, I mix deathmatch with this little game I found – not even joking, it's kinda addictive: JetX – fast reaction game. Begin play this game) It’s more of a side thing, not pure aim training, but it helps with reflexes and focus. Plus it’s got that “just one more try” vibe 😅
Lmao I DID see all the memes about Chamber being “retired” 🤣I used to main Phoenix, but now he feels… underwhelming? Or maybe I’m just rusty. Might try Deadlock, her kit looks wild.Btw, any decent ways to warm up besides aim labs?
Same here, been on and off but still hop into unrateds with friends. Ranked feels kinda sweaty lately tho, maybe because everyone’s grinding for that new gun skin line 😅 Tbh, I’ve switched to Killjoy recently — super strong on Lotus and Icebox now. And yeah, welcome back! You missed the Chamber nerf drama 😂
Yeah man, still playing almost daily. You're right, the meta’s been flipped since the Deadlock patch. They’ve added a bunch of balancing updates that made some older agents viable again. If you’re just coming back, I’d recommend checking out the official Valorant patch notes – Riot keeps it pretty up to date: 👉 https://playvalorant.com/en-us/news/game-updates/Also, which agent did you use to main?
