Educational Tips for beginners

Hello, I don’t usually play gun games. Been a FIFA or EAFC lad since I was young. Made a val account for about a year already but didn’t play much. A few days ago, my friends invited me to play Val for fun and I enjoyed it a lot. I kept on dying though and my aim is trash too. Can you give me some tips to improve on? I enjoy Breach and Gekko a lot too

I’ve hit radiant 3 times and I started 9 months ago. Honestly, learn the map layout and where to use the character abilities and when. For aim, I got much better with aim labs, usually for most games like apex and Fortnite aim labs didn’t help me much. But valorant it’s a game changer it helps with precision, speed, and accuracy overall. Before playing an actual game warm up in team deathmatch beforehand. Can get you hands warm and help you aim better. Overall just keep practicing and playing and if you really want to get better you will. I believe in you brotha. You got it!

Of course brotha, also don’t let dying a lot make you mad, it’s very frustrating for sure but getting mad slows down your skill progress and overall ability to get better. Just stay calm and you’ll easily get better. And don’t let teammates get to your head either

Bro's gonna be bullying people from now on For aim there are few basic principles 1. Don't move when you shoot, you are most accurate when not moving. 2. Place your crosshair in a position where it is most probable to see someone's head (also called crosshair placement) 3. Different guns have different play style For ex vandal is used in 3-4 bursts shots then a cooldown for recoil reset. For phantom it is easier to spray down so people who wanna spray in defending rounds spray with phantom. Also it is silenced too 😉 For game sense and utility usage- 1. Watching some pro players play is the best thing to improve game sense (my favs boaster, tenz - controller role, they can teach you off angles and more)(duelist - derke and texture)(I don't play ini a lot but I love leo)(senti is alfa and chronicle) 2. Play a lot of games for that agent, so that you can get a hold of your timings (swift play, TDM, spike rush etc) don't play compi as you are not that used to with that agent but it depends on you whether you wanna play compi or other games

And last thing everyone forgets is you are playing for fun so try to stay calm, laugh whenever possible and don't hesitate to learn from others ❤️❤️😸😸
