Valorant 13: Advice From My Brother
Byjack
Today I had a strategy session with my brother who is almost at the rank I want to be (Plat) about major mindset shifts I need to do to get out of Bronze and Silver.
Here are the main areas we came up with:
- Learn to play off of contact better:
- Swing when you see teammates swinging
- If you see someone holding, pre-aim and get ready to trade
- Crosshair placement and preaiming
- Holding for wide swing vs close
- Methodical clearing
- Ability usage
- Have gameplan for ability usage for the beginning of every attack and defending round
- Map awareness
- Look at minimap more
Vision Challenge 3: Big Improvements
Byjack
I just came back from standup paddleboarding and I feel really really good. Everything is clear and easy to see. I need to find a way to go and play on the water more.
I also was thinking about how if the eye is constantly in a state of contraction, we might need to do some sort of massage in order to help loosen and relax the ligaments and the muscles. I don’t know yet what kind of massage will work. All the current massages only target the areas around the eyes.
I wasn’t able to test my vision on my phone because it is out of battery but I tested on very small text on a book an the results are mindblowing.
12.5 cm to see clearly.
100/12.5 = -8 diopters
Valorant 38: Day 1 – Apas – 6/3/23

I didn’t really know how to copy the apas style, but I noticed that he wide peeked a lot.
I also used the ideas earlier about hyping myself up and it seemed to work.
We didn’t win this game but I was incredibly aggressive and confident in my peeks. I entried with the classic and was not afraid to push very aggressively, buying my team space.
After running a deathmatch and focusing on taking a second to aim, and to fully face the enemy, looking for the kill, I had this game.
I felt this was by far the most successful, with aggressive peeking but also utilizing util and gamesense to the fullest.
My sense is that hyping myself up is probably the biggest strategy for me, with some additional adjustments afterwards for aim technique.
Valorant 8: Incorporating the Pistol Into Movement
Byjack
- Need to aim higher than you think to knife
- If you are close enough, you can look almost directly up and still hit them in the head
- Looking higher makes it hard to aim, since their head moves fast, try to look somewhere slightly higher than usual
- Feeling out the potential lost (what would have been the perfect scenario) is a REALLY strong way to deal with the feeling of dying
- Helps take off the shock and frustration
- Allows you to improve from every death since you imagine a better scenario
Valorant 12: The Movement Gun
Byjack
I realized recently that having really insane movement is better for certain types of guns. Specifically the phantom.
I tested this theory today, by playing phantom and I think the results speak for themselves.
A couple of notes:
- The Vandal will require a different mindset to play (the catch them on the crosshair, holding angles type of mindest)
- Movement is really good but need to peek tighter angles still
Overall, I need to pick the weapon best suiting my mood and the map. Vandal for slower smoother headshots, phantom for more energetic aggressive plays.
Giving Myself Room to Take A Breath
Byjack
Yesterday I came up with a new mentality that really helped me with Valorant. I noticed that I wasn’t focused on taking fights and it was kind of hard to get kills.
So I decided to take a break, walk around and drink some water. And when I came back, I promised myself I would not peek until I felt that I was fully ready to take a fight.
