To have have fun and relax from school work.
Most of the time I am stressed, at other times I could be having a blast. However being in the stressful situations gives me a lot of adrenaline when it goes my way.
I do not like the ranking system and the bugs/glitches the game constantly has.
Broken, Stressful, Hardstuck
I use the range allowing me to warm up while waiting for match to start. Another great feature is the match performance menu, which allows me to recognize my mistakes. Also knowing your ELO, so you know what games matter the most. I would say Valorant is missing community servers, community servers would make the game more fun.

Ranked, Competitions, Skill
It's been really fun, but it really is an uphill mental battle sometimes. There are people that you aren't going to mesh wish, and there are also other teams that work really well together. There are moments where it really is difficult to win, and also some losses can be taken really hard. Overall, I love competition, and losing makes me want to play more so that I don't lose the next time.
That people can really make the game harder than it needs to be.
Sentinels, Vandal, Headshot
I use the math history and act rank features A LOT. I do find myself wishing that there was a more detailed analytics page that shows utility (where it was used), as well as headshot percentage, and round replays.

I do not like the toxic community in Valorant, however, there are times when you have a great teammates and this makes for a much better experience.
Competitive, fun, team
During a Valorant session, I like to see who is online on my friends list before I start a game. I also bring up the scoreboard menu a lot during a match. Another feature I use the most is the carnage report after a game is over where I can view all of my stats and everyone else's.

I love the competitiveness of the game and the feeling of getting better.
Playing Valorant can be a very intense games at times especially at the higher ranks. It can be stressful, grinding and tiring at times but the feeling of improving is very rewarding.
I heavily dislike people that throw games or don't communicate, 99% of the time it's the reason why I lose games. I really like teammates that have great communication and team up to make good plays.
Fun, Competitive, Stressful
I use the map feature a lot to see where enemies are. Especially holding caps lock to open the big map in game. I think it's extremely useful. I can't think of any features that are missing.

Fun, enjoy playing with friends
Packet loss/connection issues (server side) have made me contemplate not wanting to play anymore. Other than that it’s a fun game that continues to change
Least - the lack of punishment against hackers
Most - the balance of agents and teams
Fun, exciting, fresh
Discord is in use most times.
I feel if they had a way to vote kick someone out who is clearly AFK-faking every round, or purposely griefing team mates.

If you played a ranked game against someone who was punished for cheating(or had a griefing team mate) and lost the game you should have no change to your rank points

Matchmaking has many issues, and it feels like the game is becoming a cod clone with all the gun abilities and agents designed around frags.
Gunplay is great. Matchmaking is a joke.
Lmao the names of guns mostly, theyre wild. Ares, vandal, spectre. Lol
Still like the gunplay, and impact of agents. However, usually the maps are wayyyy open for a game with bad long play engagements.

I enjoy the feeling of improving and displaying/experience skill, whether it be other players or myself.
Honestly just an average player, with a few strange habits and some measure of dedication. I’ve used bucky only in diamond lobbies, judge only, ares only, and peaked plat 3 with rifles. Placed iron 1 at beta, of course.
Most: Insane plays, clutches, etc. Least: Players that make you go like “wtf why are you there?”. Basically, when you get killed and feel indignant because it wasn’t because the enemy was better, rather, they were so bad that it was good.
Ace, clutch, flawless, match found, any announcement word/phrase.
Career and practice range. I feel like DM could be made better, practice range improved, and match replays added.

The PvP interactions are really unique and require quick thinking and creativity.
It’s had its highs and lows, but I’ve generally improved and have had some very memorable moments.
Most: The variety of abilities in a tactical competitive shooter makes each agent unique and tailored to specific play styles.
Least: Burnout. Playing too much really drags down your skill which is frustrating when you’re trying to improve.

I'm really sick of most video games because they're all the same these days. Valorant feels like a game where it is trying to push the competitive level/scene unlike CoD and csgo (which are games that haven't changed for decades).
It has actually improved my aim unlike most fps. Went back to CSGO and my aim was so much better.
The map design is pretty mediocre and I think it could be better.
aim, improvement, competitive.
I use the range and deathmatch to practice a lot. I think the game needs to implement a similar system to CSGO, Prime. I think that it's really hard to advance in the game when I'm constantly getting stacked against higher ranked players.
