Why You Are Hardstuck in Valorant Ranked: Breaking Free 2026
Stuck at your rank? The truth: It's not your teammates. Over 100 games, you're the constant. Three traps: (1) Autopilot gameplay - no learning, (2) Blaming others - external focus, (3) Inconsistent practice - random sessions. Break free: VOD review weekly, identify ONE repeated mistake, fix it. Track unnecessary deaths - reduce by 20% = rank up. Focus on controllables: YOUR positioning, YOUR crosshair, YOUR deaths.
Apply This in Your Games
