I had an initial discussion with a Valorant coach on a couple of things on improving in Valorant and here are the main takeaways:
- In low elo (gold and below), aim and mechanics are more important than gamesense as low elo doesn't have much gamesense worth learning
- I suspect it is because low elo doesn't have many patterns or strategies that are worth learning to play against
- In low elo, try to take as many gunfights as possible to get better
- To train gamesense, try to play with as many people as possible, ideally five stack
- Stop playing so much sheriff in the deathmatch because it isn't the gun you use in your games as much
- In solo queue, try to play off of your teammates more, try to entry together more
