Valorant, developed by Riot Games, is topping the charts when it comes to first-person shooters. With competition like Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Overwatch, Valorant is still able to stand out on the list. The game meta, in context to gun-fights, is very similar to that of CS: GO. However, the agents and their unique abilities spice up the gameplay in Valorant.

Pushing rank in Valorant is difficult
The competitive gameplay in Valorant is based on standard spike-planting matches. However, these matches last 30-40 minutes because of the high number of rounds. The first team to win thirteen rounds wins the game, but the total rounds in each match average around twenty. Even if players have the time to play, a good team is a big necessity, especially in higher ranks.
Players often complain that it takes a lot of matches to improve rank and that the punishment for abandoning a match is also very severe. While players love how competitive Valorant can be, it also means that the game demands a lot of grinding to push rank.

Please fix your ranking system for act 3 . It took me 9 straight games of team and match MVP to go from bronze 2 to bronze 3. And fix your abandoned matches issues. It’s stupid I can get banned for 4 hours because my power went out.

Some tips to improve win rate before Act 2 closes
Valorant is, undoubtedly, a tough game, but certain tips can help players get good results. First and foremost, players should play with a balanced team of sentinels, duelists, and controllers. They should always emphasize on communicating properly with each other so that everyone is able to strategize.

Improving individual performance is also very important in the game, and proper crosshair placement is the most basic, yet important, strategy to follow. Players with good game sense and proper crosshair placement can often pull off a 1v3 or even an Ace.
