How To Check Your Valorant MMR?

How To Check Your Valorant MMR?

Valorant is a highly competitive video game, with players from throughout the world constantly trying to climb up the ranking spectrum of the shooter. Featuring intense matches and strategic gameplay, Valorant has quickly become a favorite in the esports scene, attracting both casual gamers and professional players alike.

In essence, ranks in Valorant are a representation of your overall skill level. Your performance in the Competitive game mode determines your placement within one of the game’s nine skill groups including Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Ascendant, Immortal, and Radiant. Except for Radiant, each skill group is further subdivided into three divisions.

However, the ranking system of Valorant might not be as simple as you think. The rank you see on your screen might not be an accurate representation of your actual skill group at all. This is why understanding your MMR (Matchmaking Rating) in Valorant is crucial.

What is MMR in Valorant?

In layman’s terms, your Valorant MMR is a hidden number that accurately reflects your performance in the competitive landscape of the game. This rating is never revealed to players, who can only see their visible skill group.

This MMR fluctuates based on how you play your Competitive games. Outperforming other players in your skill group will increase your MMR, while poor performance will cause it to decline.

If you take a break from playing Valorant, you may also experience MMR decay. This means your MMR will gradually decrease over time when you’re inactive.

How To Check Your MMR in Valorant?

While there’s no way for players to accurately determine their MMR in Valorant, you can get a rough estimate of your MMR by taking a close look at your RR gains and losses after your competitive games.

Typically, if your MMR is higher than your current rank, you’ll notice yourself getting more Rank Rating (RR) from winning games and losing less RR on losses.

There are a number of other factors that affect your RR as well, like your individual performance, round difference, and more. But keeping an eye out for your RR gains and losses can easily help you identify your actual MMR in Valorant.

CS2 Shanghai Major 2024: PGL to Broadcast English Stream

The Perfect World CS2 Shanghai Major is set to kick off in November and will be the second Major of CS2 and 2024.

Major is the ultimate prize of any CS player and it has been this way since its inception. While other tournaments could rival the Majors in terms of hype or prize pool, the unique celebration of CS, that is the Major has always set itself apart as a final step to cement your legacy as a player.

Valve’s Chinese partners, namely Perfect World are set to host the second Major of 2024 except for one key change. Even though PW will take the lion’s share of broadcasting responsibility, being Chinese, the English broadcasting rights have been outsourced to PGL.

PGL has a rich history of hosting CS events and he has already showcased their ability to host a CS Major. We have political reasons to blame behind, Perfect World letting go of the English broadcast given the English stream will pull the viewers across borders.

The tournament will start on 30th November, run till 15th December, and be divided between two stages like the previous Majors. Now that PGL has secured rights to broadcast the English stream, we can ease a bit knowing the uncertainties with Perfect World might be less of an issue.

Kick Streamer Natalie Reynolds Accused of “Scamming” Employee

Streamer Natalie Reynolds has once again found herself on the news for all the wrong reasons.

Natalie Reynolds doesn’t have a good reputation when it comes to keeping promises and one of the former associates has revealed how he was scammed by her following one of their adventures going sideways that ended up with him getting nabbed by the cops.

The crew planned to drive around in a van painted with “free candy” much like in GTA but it caught the attention of the cops before they managed to shoot any content. Once arrested, the crew got locked up upon which Reynolds promised to cover legal fees only to back out last second as revealed by Josiah Banks.

“Promised $4,700 a month and all legal fees covered. Time it came to legal fees? We’re locked up, she doesn’t pay.” said Joshiah Banks.

“She didn’t even do that in my best interest to help me out, they did it to protect her. So she could protect herself,” Josiah insisted. “I thought they were helping me out.”

He further pointed out how she tried to get her dad involved to defend Banks but all she was doing was looking out for herself by preventing him to testify against her. $4700 worth of legal fees was also cut from his salary Reylonds promising to pay it.

Natalie has defended herself and turned down all the allegations and now only time will tell what becomes of this drama.

Sony Might Introduce This Bizarre New Controller

Sony Might Introduce This Bizarre New Controller

Sony may be developing a new deformable game controller featuring two squeezable and twistable balls, according to a leaked patent.

Console controllers have followed a basic pattern since their early days. A bridge anchored by controls on two sides. Either sides control different aspects of movement in a game which has been the same for both PlayStation and Xbox. Controllers underwent minor improvement from generation to generation but the leaked patent indicates a radical change.

How does it work?

The new game controller will consist of two flexible, robust spheres joined by a hollow tube. The inside surfaces of each sphere and the tube itself are decorated with elaborate designs. The controller’s operation depends heavily on these patterns whose distortion is converted into input signals. By translating these distortions into particular input signals for the game, a new level of control is provided.

A controller like this will be aimed towards providing the gamers with a more intimate and natural level of control. However, with no keys available, how different games choose to map their controls will be interesting to see should Sony decide to introduce this controller.

We have only seen a leaked patent so far with no official word from Sony. It is standard for big corporations to have different technologies patented for future use but this doesn’t confirm the launch of the new set of controllers.

The new controllers will be far from the DualSense controllers that came with the new PS5. However, we are yet to find out how the community would react to this new way of interacting with video games.

PashaBiceps Brings up the Mercedes Controversy in Congratulatory Tweet

It has been years since the infamous Mercedes controversy took place which is believed by everyone to be the root cause behind the dominant VP roster falling apart and one would assume we have forgotten all about it but Pasha’s latest post on X unearthed the underlying resentments.

Back in 2017, Wiktor “TaZ” Wojtas was rewarded with a Mercedes E Class for VP’s triumph in DreamHack Masters Las Vegas 2017. The car caused a rift within the team as everyone, including the coach and other players, felt their contributions were overlooked. This led to the team falling apart and the players stopped being on talking terms since.

Fast forward to 2024, two members of that roster have resurfaced to tier 1 CS, with Wiktor “TaZ” Wojtas coaching G2 and Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski taking over the IGL duties for the same side following Hooxi’s departure.

PashaBiceps was quick to congratulate his former teammates but it was readily apparent his feelings toward TaZ weren’t the same as those towards Snax.

“I wish the coach perseverance and further success, I don’t mean it because you know how it is,” wrote Pasha.

This shows that the incident from 2017 has still managed to stand between the roster members. The resentment is far from over and, likely, they will not put it behind them anytime soon despite their playing days being far from over.

CS2 VAC Bans Decline: A Positive Sign for Competitive Integrity

CS2 VAC Bans Decline: A Positive Sign for Competitive Integrity

The Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) community has witnessed a notable decline in VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) bans, signaling a positive shift in the game’s competitive environment. This report delves into the recent trends, the effectiveness of anti-cheat measures, and the broader implications for the CS2 community.

Decline in VAC Bans

In recent months, there has been a significant reduction in the number of VAC bans issued in CS2. Only 8,403 players were banned, a substantial drop from the peak of over 24,000 bans in April. This decline suggests that fewer players are resorting to cheats and exploits, potentially indicating a healthier gaming environment for the CS2 community.

Effectiveness of Anti-Cheat Measures

The decrease in bans can be attributed to the increasing effectiveness of the anti-cheat system. Valve’s efforts to maintain the integrity of the competitive scene are bearing fruit, as the system becomes more sophisticated and effective at detecting and removing cheaters from the game. However, it is important to note that the VAC system is not infallible, and there will always be individuals who seek to gain an unfair advantage.

Shift in Player Attitudes

There appears to be a broader shift in player attitudes and behaviors. As the game’s reputation as a skill-based, competitive experience takes precedence, players may be less inclined to resort to unfair tactics. This change in mindset is crucial for sustaining a fair and competitive environment.

Role of the Community

The recent decline in VAC bans offers an encouraging sign that the community’s efforts to combat cheating are yielding tangible results. The developers, tournament organizers, and players all play a crucial role in sustaining these positive trends. A reduction in cheating helps maintain a level playing field, preserving the integrity and fairness of the competitive experience.
