I’m someone who likes to try and 100% clear single player games. Are all these detector beacon things Tinker Tom is having me set up actually going to produce some sort of concrete result at some point, or is he going to keep saying “mmm a few more” forever? Do these numbered defense quests from the Railroad have an end to them, or will I end up doing “Safehouse Quest #549” someday if I keep taking them on? While some Radiant Quests are obvious, others seem like normal ones that trick you into thinking there’s an ending to them. To this day I’m still not sure that every Radiant Quest I’m doing is really a Radiant Quest. You don’t always know you’re doing an infinite questline. The same goes for a few of the other NPCs that they’ve turned into nothing but quest vending machines. I associate literally nothing else with this man other than these dumb quests. As I mentioned, even hearing Preston Garvey’s voice is grating at this point, because 90% of what he says to me is assigning these banal quests. Still not too familiar with abilities though, so maybe there's some leeway in memorizing viper lineups or something, but I doubt it's enough to make an impact on reaching the top 500.While I understand that appeal of wanting to give players something to do indefinitely in your game, I hate Radiant Quests, and judging by the rest of the internet, I’m not alone.
I've only played Valorant for about 80 hours (according to tracker.gg), but I have experience in CS:GO and the games are similar enough that I'm confident in what I'm saying. You can absolutely train these things and get much better at them, but if you're perfectly average there will always be someone with natural ability working just as hard who will always be better than you and I can guarantee that there's at least 500 of them. If you don't naturally excel in one of the categories above I don't think you'll ever be the top 0.1%. If the question was about immortal, I'd say the majority of people (but definitely not everyone) could get there with hard work and dedication.
Reaction time + Spatial awareness (click fast & crosshair placement) I'd say you need to be "gifted" or just naturally talented in one of these categories:Ĭritical Thinking and/or Abstract Thinking (strat calling & gamesense) You can practice and train and improve, but there are a lot of other people doing that. Idk what kind of copium all these comments are on. Tldr: you're mostly right imo, but its probably good to be honest and frank that even with all the work in the world there is a real chance you can'tĪpparently this is an unpopular opinion but you absolutely 100% need some level of natural ability to get there. Those are largely inherented traits that you can improve on, like atheletism in sports, or calculations in chess.Ĭan everyone play college basketball? honestly probably not, but its not a crazy high barrier that you would out of hand tell a high schooler they couldn't.Ĭan everyone be a titled 2400 rated chess player? again no, but a lot of the people willing and able to put in the work can get there. There are lots of fundamentals you can improve but at a certain point you need to have high level spacial awareness, reaction time and the ability to process a lot of information quickly and accurately. If someone is capping out at plat playing 20 hours a week? Yea they probably can make the push, but there are a lot of people playing a lot of valorant and not seeing much. Now can a sizable fraction? yea you're probably right, but there are diminishing returns at a point for everyone. I would push back a little, not everyone is going to be able to grind to radiant.
