Hi there,

I've recently gotten back into Valorant and made the conscious decision to try and improve my aim. So I've put quite a few hours into KovaaK's this past month, around 40 hours to be exact.

I've done some research and settled on playing static clicking scenarios three times a week, Viscose's benchmarks and Voltaic benchmarks twice a week respectively. I'm almost full platinum on Voltaic benchmarks/near full Orca on Viscose's and overall I'm quite happy with my progression and my kovaak's scores are going up.

But in game I feel like I've gotten worse, my mouse control especially seems so bad, it feels awkward and I somehow developed this bad habit of always lifting my mouse whenever I want to turn around (either that or I just recently noticed this behavior) as you can imageine I'm quite awkward in game and haven't been hitting many shots which makes me feel a little discouraged.

I also play on quite high sense which makes the issue so much more strange (800dpi and 0,42 or roughly 40cm/360

Can those with more experience in the aim training space tell me if this is just a small blip in an otherwise upwards trending curve or do I have rudimentary, core issues that must be addressed,

Thanks!

Hi there.

Through my late teen and early adult life I've only really played two genres of video games these being sports management and FPS games. With me becoming older, more occupied with things like school and work I’ve had less time to really grind them. That’s why I’ve been thinking about pivoting to single-player games. The only problem is that I don’t know which ones to play.

I'm trying to find all the masterpieces I've missed through the years because of only playing two videogame genres. Suggested games can be older or newer. I haven't played many games so there's a big chance I'm going to play it for the first time if you suggest it. The games can also be from older/other platforms than PC since I'm looking to get into emulating, as I've heard older Nintendo games such as Ocarina of time are good.

Don't be afraid to recommend common games. To put the lack of my gaming “experience” into perspective, the only story mode games I completed are GTA V and the original Spider-Man PS4 exclusive.

The only criteria or filter I would like to put into place are strategy games, souls-like and vastly open-world games like Skyrim. I don’t believe I would enjoy those.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Edit: My computer is good 👍🏻

Hello, I'm a beginner Kovaaks player, I have around 20 hours on the game trainer and I'm so far gold complete on the voltaic benchmark and Mammoth complete on viscose beiggner benchmarks. I've really liked grinding thus far, and I can see in-game translation

The thing that's in the back of my mind is my sensitivity. I'm afraid it's too high. I play valorant on 0.46 which is around 35 cm/360. The reason that's bothering me is because every VOD I watch the people play on super low sensitivity, but that just feels super weird and not natural to me, foreign. Having to do big sweeps across my mousepad just doesn't feel right and accurate.

Another issue I have is that I don't have a lot of mouse space. I'm using the Steel series QcK heavy mousepad in the size large and even at such a high sense I find myself running out of space, especially on the tracking drills. I'm afraid that if I lower my sense to something 'ideal' it'll become even a bigger issue.

While I realise that a perfect sens does not exist, could my relatively high sensitivity holding me back from progressing and getting higher ranks?

Hello there,

I first started playing Valorant in 2020, I got the Twitch drop invite key, then I quit the game completely and came back only recently.

When I tried to login, I didn't know my username nor password, so I requested a username and a password reset, everything went smoothly and I logged in, but alas this was NOT my main account, the one that had the beta Twitch battle card and other cosmetics. I went digging through my email (the same one that I received the username and password information for logging into the account that did not have the beta perks) and I found an old email from Riot Games from 2020 regarding username assistance and Riot sent me a whole another totally different username back then!

Then I tried to recover my username again on the login page and they didn't send me the same username as they did in 2020, but the different one that didn't have anything.

I can't remember the password for the old account and I can't request a reset, because it resets the password for the other account!!! This is so frustrating, but is it salvageable?

I hope this word salad makes sense.

Regards
