Fundamentals of playing Valorant for Low Elo Players: In-depth Guide

From the developers at Riot Games, Valorant is a tactical first-person shooter that takes precision gunplay and mixes it with abilities to make the game fast-paced and competitive. For the low-Elo player, nailing the very basics is the way forward in climbing the ranks and improving your game. In this all-encompassing guide, we're going to break down everything you need to know to lay a great foundation and set yourself up for success in Valorant written by the radiant coaches at Revo Coaching.

Understanding the Basics of Valorant

1. The Aim of the Game: To Plant and Protect

Valorant is designed based on two teams: Attackers and Defenders, each consisting of five players. The Attackers have to plant a bomb spike at a designated bomb site, while the Defenders' job is to prevent this from happening or defuse the spike in case it gets planted. One match usually consists of 25 rounds, and the first team that wins 13 rounds wins.

2. Agent System in Valorant

What sets Valorant apart is its diverse cast of agents. Each agent has a set of abilities that complement certain play styles. Within low Elo, it is important to focus on agents that are easy to use but effective for team play.

Some of the best agents to use at the entry level of play include:

- Phoenix: Having a self-healing ability and flashes, this agent is one of the finest in aggressive plays.

- Brimstone: The controller that has easy-to-use smokes that can blanket very large areas. He also does much in the way of supporting his teammates in the execution of strategies.

- Sage: Main healer, Sage is one of the best picks for players who like to play supportive roles, helping their team live longer.

Knowing one's agent ability and how it complements the rest of the team is key knowledge for the low Elo player.

3. Map Knowledge

Valorant currently features a number of maps that each have their unique layout, choke points, and spike sites to execute on. For low Elo players, it is very important to learn the map and key locations.

- Bind: The map has teleporters that allow for quick rotations between the sites.

- Haven: Only one map has three bomb sites with loads of strategic opportunities.

- Ascent: This map has open middle areas that can be controlled with smokes and flashes.

Familiarize yourself with the maps and practice calling out key locations such as "A Short," "B Long," or "Mid Doors." The reward for all of this is greatly improved performance, and winning more often than not.

4. Basic Gameplay Mechanics

Movement: Walk, Run, and Crouc

Movements in Valorant mean everything. You run-make noise-and probably the enemy team will hear you. Walk-you are silent. You make a crouch to steady the aim, but also not to overuse it-so that you do not turn into a sitting duck.

One of the most common mistakes low-Elo players make is running too much. This creates noise for no reason and gives away your position. Learn to walk in key areas, and run only when you're rotating between sites, or when it's safe.

Aiming: Crosshair Placement

One of the most basic things one does to get better at Valorant is improving his crosshair placement. Most people in low Elo aim too low, making body or leg shots, which leads to longer TTK.

Good crosshair placement means aiming at head level. As you're navigating through the map, you should constantly have to move your crosshair to a place where the enemy's head should appear. The more you do this, the more headshots you will get, giving you an upper hand in most of your duels.

Shooting: Tapping vs. Spraying

Valorant has a recoil system, meaning that if you hold down the fire button, the less accurate your shots will be. The trap that most low-Elo players fall into is spraying, or holding down the fire button and hoping for the best.

Concentrate on controlled tapping or short bursts at least at long ranges. Spraying will work effectively only in a very near-quarters situation. Practice tap-firing and bursting in the Valorant range or in matches as this will make you more accurate over time.

Key Strategies for Low Elo Players

1. Team Communication

Valorant is a team-based game, and communication is critical to success. Low-Elo games are often full of poor comms, which just makes these rounds something of a free-for-all. You gotta call out the enemy positions if not anything, to relay important information with site takes, and push coordinates with your teammates.

You needn't be that shot caller every round, but small things like calling "enemy mid" or "rotating to A" can make a huge difference.

2. Economy Management

In Valorant, the economy of your team is very important, that is the credits gained each round. Thus, it enables the players to purchase weapons, armor, and abilities. Learn when to save up-eco-or buy in teams to keep a smooth flow of firepower in the rounds.

The problem with low Elo is that the players love to overspend on every round and leave themselves with not enough credits in the later stages of the game. Here are a few tips on how to handle your economy:

- Eco rounds: Save money if your team is unable to afford rifles or full armor.

- Buy rounds: Invest in rifles and full armor when you're able to afford it.

- Force buys: If you know that your team absolutely have to win an important round, then buy on whatever credits you have.

3. Utility Usage

Not all of Valorant is about shooting. His agent's utility can really make or break a round. A lot of low Elo players just waste their utility or don't use it at all. Use flashes, smokes, and other utilities when the timing is just right.

For instance:

- Flashes: Flash to see what's on the other side and take advantageous positions.

- Smokes: Limit the vision of enemies and dictate how they move.

- Healing abilities: In case you're playing an agent supportive like Sage, heal your teammates at strategic moments so that they may continue staying in the fight.

The right use of utility can change a lost round to a win.

4. Positioning and Rotations

Good positioning is the thin line between coming out on top or lying lifeless on the ground in a gunfight. Low Elo players often hold poor angles or stay in one spot for too long, which makes them very easy targets for more experienced opponents.

- Defensively: Not to always hold one position. Sometimes switch it up after a few rounds and keep them guessing.

- On Attack: If your first push doesn't go through, rotate through sites. Be prepared to fall back and regroup with your team.

Smarter rotates between sites can confuse the enemy and set them up for a numerical disadvantage.

Aim Training for Low Elo Players

A big part of Valorant is having good aim. Low-Elo players can vastly improve simply by dedicating time to training their aim. Here are a few drills you can practice in the Valorant Range:

1. Flick Shots: Setup bots and practice flicking from one bot to the next. It works your reaction time and helps you with precision.

2. Tracking: Smoothly move your crosshair over a target to improve tracking an enemy's movement.

3. Strafing and Shooting: Move left and right (strafe) while shooting accurately to improve your gunplay in real matches.

Aim training tools such as Aim Lab or Kovaak's FPS Aim Trainer will also speed up your improvement. Our valorant coaches can help you with a personal daily routine to help you rank up faster.

Key Mistakes to Avoid in Low Elo

1. Overextending

They overly extend into enemy space without support and die quite easily. Be less aggressive and patiently wait for your team to start the execution.

2. Forgetting Team Play

Valorant is not a game that can be carried single-handedly in every round. Every player focusing on fragging hurts the team. Instead, play for the team, use your abilities to aid in team strategies, and play smart.

3. The Mini-Map

Mini-map shows crucial information about the positioning of enemies and the movement of your team. It usually gets neglected by low Elo players most of the time. Develop a habit of constant checking of the mini-map, to keep yourself updated about the surroundings.

Conclusion

Mastering the very basics is the way to start moving your way out of low Elo in Valorant. By having good comms, crosshair placement, map knowledge, and utility usage, you'll grow significantly better as a player. You practice this stuff consistently over time, then you'll slowly start climbing the ranks. Practice consistently and go up in rank.
