Why Is Everyone at My Valorant Elo So Good? Insights from Reddit
A key insight from our conversation is that observing expert-level gameplay on streaming platforms or YouTube can give a deceptive idea about one’s skill level. User No-Profile9970 aptly noted that the mental effort involved in watching these videos differs significantly from what we exert during actual matches. They stated, “While watching videos, you don’t expend the same level of mental resources.” This implies that even the most critical moments in high-elo matches might appear simple until you actively participate and face the challenge yourself. Many players may not be aware that they frequently commit minor errors, which are less common among top-level players, leading to feelings of inferiority during their own games.
