Life hacks and useful tips to help you improve your game.
Rating battles in Valorant test the reaction and skill of gamers for strength. Climbing the tops will not be easy, but a few cool tricks and tips can make the task easier.
The performance of the game literally skyrocketed after its release by Riot games. The developers did their best, and now new users appear in the game every day. Many of them have difficulty at first, especially in competitive mode. Competing with professional players who come from other shooters can be unrealistic. In addition, there are a large number of other nuances for winning in battle.
Valorant is more than a simple first-person shooter. It has elements of MOBA and even MMO RPG. The player does not have enough hit alone to dominate the enemy. The tips from this article are suitable not only for beginners, but also for experienced “warriors” to understand macro and micro gameplay, and increase their position in the ranking.
Follow your personal skill

The key to rank up in Valorant is, of course, winning. However, team dominance is based on the skill level of each of the five players. KDA (ratio of kills, deaths and assists), accuracy and feeling of the character allows you to act effectively in battle.
The whole team is invested in the victory! If there is a weak link, the winnings will slip out of hand, and the desired rating will not be achieved. Hone your skills and develop purposefully like a gamer.
Mini map is our everything
Professional players look at the mini-map every 3 seconds. In Valorant, it is in the lower left corner. Each time you make contact with an enemy, it is displayed as a red indicator for a moment. Using this tool will help build a strategy for interacting with the team and choose the most advantageous positions.
Practice at every location

Valorant now has 4 battle maps. They are fundamentally different from each other visually and in detail. Before participating in competitive mode, you need to explore every nook and cranny of the battlefield in advance. Knowledge of turns, height differences and shelters will allow you to take an advantageous position and hit the enemy with one accurate shot.
Play as a specific pool of characters

After getting the basics of the game for each agent, it is worth deciding on a role in the team and practicing on the main - the main character for the player. A sense of distance, timely and accurate hitting with skills, advantageous use of the visual model of the hero - all this will not let the enemy relax for a second and lead the team to victory.
First we beat the bankrupt

After pressing the key Tab you can see the number of credits from opponents. The focus should be switched to the "poor" enemies. There is a high probability that they did not buy high-level equipment. And even the most well-dressed hero cannot withstand the fire of an entire team.
On the contrary, don't let that happen to your group.. If there is an excess of funds - help an ally with equipment.
Power in the word

Beginners make a huge mistake by not communicating with their allies. You can use voice chat not only to insult noobs, but also to build trust in the team. Inspire the heroes, coordinate movements and develop a strategy together - victory will not be long in coming.
Valorant also has visual signal system. Together with live communication, it can become a formidable weapon against enemy agents.
Without friends I am a little bit, but with friends - a lot

Playing alone, many players experience difficulties. It is not always possible to “pull the rink solo”. The proverb says: "One in the field is not a warrior."
Try to gather a group of friends to climb to the top of the ranked mode together. This will help to better coordinate the course of the battle, since there is no need to re-build a dialogue between the allies. Everyone plays a certain role and knows all the advantages and disadvantages of each other. A partner will always lend a shoulder, help with weapons and cover from enemy fire.
Plus, it's much more fun to play as a teammate. The game brings more positive emotions, you will always be supported for "minus morality". Do not underestimate the winning spirit!
We know the measure

No need to play all day long in the hope of getting the coveted place in the top. Professionals devote only a couple of hours a day to rating battles. Prolonged battles greatly affect the user's physical and mental state, significantly reducing concentration. The rating also suffers from this. Progress can stand up or even turn 180 degrees. Define for yourself a small number of competitive games and after them fight for your own pleasure, test new strategies, communicate with people.
Best defense is attack?

This definition is not always correct. You need to feel the line between when to rush at opponents, firing from cannons, and when you need to hide from enemy eyes and painstakingly hold a position.
Do not rush into the pool with your head

In any professional sport, a thorough warm-up is essential to avoid injury. So in Valorant, you should not immediately go into rating battles. Tune in and "accelerate" in the usual mode, feel the character and shoot from different types of weapons.
Conclusion
These tips will help you avoid mistakes in Valorant and understand its basics. Do not forget that everything comes with experience. Everyday practice will surely bear fruit and increase the skill of the player.
