New Valorant Player Shares Frustrations with Aim Consistency

A recent post on r/VALORANT highlights the common struggles faced by players transitioning from other genres. The author, who started playing Valorant approximately one month ago, describes their experience as an "infuriating journey." Having previously played Call of Duty and Fortnite, the user notes that while they consider their crosshair placement decent, they frequently miss shots or land hits that feel accidental rather than intentional.

The player specifically mentions difficulty with strafing, stating that bullets often go "to fuckall" or result in increased misses. They also express frustration with the inconsistency of their performance, describing their aim as "bipolar." In some matches, they hit every shot and perform well, while in others, they cannot land a single hit. Additionally, the user notes feeling confident in their aim only to be defeated by opponents who appear less skilled but manage to land shots on them. This post serves as a request for the community to help pinpoint these specific mechanical and consistency issues.
