More Unwritten Rules Of Valorant

Another unwritten rule: “I’ve placed the spike 7 times in a row without dying, why did you pick it up, please this is the only thing I’m good at.”

Rule: If you see two people on your team with matching names, like “Jimmy” and “Jimmy’s Gf” you need to instalock sage. As to stop pocket saging

"If you're not a good shot today, don't worry. There are other ways to be useful." -my favourite quote of the entire game. Of course that does not apply to reyna insta lock, you are useless if you are not a good shot today.

Every time an enemy omen ults, a teammate should check your spawn

Rule: Mute teammates the second they start being toxic or passive aggressive. You’ll play better.

"Don't look at the scoreboard" Me, spamming tab 20 times each round: •-•

just being generally nice goes a LONG way. i notice when i'm losing comps like, 5 to 8 and the teammates are nice and trying to boost morale, it makes the game much better. even if we lose, it doesn't feel shitty bc it was still fun. even yesterday mym team was losing 3-8 but everyone was so nice that when we figured out a nice strat, we ended up winning. and the fact that everyone was like "we can do this"/"we can still turn it around", complimenting tries and shots and actually communicating instead of flaming, no one gave up and we pushed through. had the same experience in another comp about 10 minutes ago. ofc skill and etc come into play but having a good teammate experience really is one of the main things

Brimstones should stay mid during defense so he can smoke both sites immediately

"when you want to main an agent, you have to learn some lineups" ah yes, i can't wait to learn jett's smoke lineup.

Also one rule: Sage doesn't always have to carry the spike

rule: ALWAYS plant the spike even if the round is over, that way you get extra credits for next round

Something I see almost nobody talk about is to never reload after a kill. 80% of the time you kill one person, there is backup behind a wall or simply nearby, waiting to kill you while you are in the reload animation, and you can’t cancel the reload animation, basically spelling out death. I cannot express how many times I have died like this

Rule: If someone says "can I get a hooyaaaaa" you gotta respond with a hoooyaaaaaaa

Btw if someone is switching between all of their agents on the agent select and they aren't locking in, I THINK it means they're waiting for you to pick so they don't steal your main. I do this so I think that's why other people might do it.

On Ascent's A side, don't break the glass on defender phase. It's a really nice flank indicator for the people sniping

The scoreboard rule I break every single game, but I don't actually see anything negative for myself in it. If I do well in a game, I get more motivated in a sense of "Okay, maybe I can carry us! ^-^" If I don't do well in a game, I get sad, cause I drag my team down and then tryhard more so they don't get mad at me (also really don't want to be the reason as to why 4 other people lose their game) If I'm in the middle of the scoreboard, I usually just vibe along and try to play off of my teammates.

when i got my first ace the other day, my team all were moving on the last guy but waited for me to make the first move and they just waited for a refrag. it was so nice

Another rule: dont blame bottom fragger when they still have some kills. Ofcourse when they have like 0-4 by round 15 and give no info or troll thats something else, but as someone who isnt a total crackhead in the game its frustrating when people start blaming you for doing nothing without a real reason.

My unspoken rule: The one who should supply the Trashtalk for your team is the bottom fragger, because the words of the person who's the shittiest on your team will be the one that will latch onto enemies minds, making them respond and possibly tilt. Just keep up the act and you'll be helping your team!

7:30 this! I don’t play duelist, but I’ve had multiple rounds where everyone else instalocks a duelist and I play my normal sentinel to try and help. I’ll end up top dragging and they will still yell at me for not be able to hold a site by myself or take a 1v3. Especially with KJ. I know my lineups and do my part, now Jett, maybe you should be the first one to peak the angle!!
