Emerican Pyscho traditional doesn’t just mean old. If it’s been done one way for almost 20 years, that’s the tradition. Not being able to aim isn’t standard, it’s just old
I would disagree, in that ADS feels very inaccurate in Valorant (which I like). From my experience most FPS with ADS keep the aim steady with some inaccuracy, but the gun can still hit pretty well, in this game that doesn't happen nearly as much. Also ADS isn't used all that much in Valorant, more like long range spots which there aren't that many of, but it's still used here and there, overall you'd rather keep your mobility and not use ADS.
@@carlosmspk I would go with what happens most at this point, the norm at the moment is that ADS is a thing some games don't do it but id argue they are the outlier
I love how ADS is normal aiming mechanics where the bullets follow the crosshairs but when you hipfire it’s CS style, not only does it make sense but it awards people who get good at multiple styles of aiming

We want you to tell the difference between these two guns: Operator, the tactical scope rifle in Valorant AWP, the magnum sniper rifle in CSGO. Cross-game players: They are the same picture. Oup is Oup!
I'm happy that someone as knowledgeable as you is already making educative content on VALORANT, and it seems like you're really enjoying the game, and all other streamers/players who played this seem to be loving it too All that said and Riot not making paid advertisements for it I'm really really hype about this game, it seems like it's gonna be fucking big
2:20 - 2:30 the heavy armour absorbs 50 damage and it is 50% plus the revolver does 160 damage. I thought that meant: first 100 damage takes 50 on the person and 50 on the armour and then it is 60 damage left for the revolver to do so it does that to the person => 110 damage. Isnt that right?
I know the shield mechanic is emulating the difference between the kevlar and the kevlar + helmet in CS:GO but I think you got the point in the armor mechanic which is making the armor only a one-button thing. I may suggest to Valorant that the players must be able to double-buy the armor without hurting much of the cost.
2:33: Why does the Sheriff NOT do one-shot headshots with the heavy shield? The Heavy shield absorbs 50% damage, but ONLY for 50 damage. The sheriff does 160 damage, you have 100 health. From the first 100 damage 50 go to the shield and 50 to your health and then there's still 60 damage left, meaning you get a total of 110 damage even with the heavy shield. It will only NOT one-shot you, if the distance is 30-50m. And the vandal should be able to one-shot everyone at every distance.
I believe the shield doesn't work like that, if you take 200 damage the shield will break after absorbing the 100 damage, and then the remaining 100 damage will be applied to your health. In the sheriffs case, you would take 80 damage to the shield and the remaining 80 to health, so you would survive
@@kaelthas06 The shields description literally says "it absorbs 50% of the damage up to 50 points", meaning the description says my calculation is correct.
Quick question about the example with the Sheriff pistol and the heavy shield. I don't get why it still isn't one shotting with 160 to the head. Isn't the shield supposed to absorb 50% of damage taken for up to 50 damage, which would make the damage you take 160 - 50 = 110 (more than 100 damage)?
@ooczzy I mean, Riot themselves confirmed it and if they did pay him then he would only be saying good things about the game and how it's 10 out of 10 the best game ever made etc. It is illegal to get paid and not mention that they're getting paid. If a mod notices something is up then they will contact the main office and tell them something is up. They can then question the suspect and check his recent activity and so forth. He is NOT getting paid. Why would he risk his successful career just to say something good about ONE game?
@ooczzy please just use your brain more. Imagine if you actually are sponsored by BIG COMPANIES, and you don't say that you are. It's law that you have to, btw. And no one know about this sponsorship. The companies now have "blackmail" material from you, meaning they can sue you whenever they want for violating the law. Who have a brain would want that? Please, just think.
@ooczzydo u really think RIOT GAMES would risk being sued for possibly hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for a game that already looks good wtf
It's so helpful to hear Shroud's thoughts on the guns since that'll help much quicker than "just have Shroud's aim, gg". Thanks for taking the time on this, [LOVE] Jate
To all those people saying this is sponsored : IT IS NOT! Whenever someone sponsors you to play a game, you have to mention it in the video, or else it is illegal!
No, no it is not. You don't have to mention you are being sponsored, most people just end up saying it to avoid backlash. But no you don't have to say that your being sponsored
Wouldn't the sheriff still one shot to the head for heavy shields? If the heavy shield absorbs 50% and breaks after absorbing 50, that means you've eaten 100 damage when it breaks, but its blocked 50. Therefore it makes your total health 150, which is enough for a sheriff headshot to kill. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think shroud got his maths off.
It does, I think shroud was thinking the damage reduction works like in CS where even 1 Armor will grant you the full damage reduction But we have seen way too many 1 shots in the game play for that to be the case.
The sherrif does 160 damage to the head under 30m. but 145 after 30m. So a sherrif headshot could leave you at 5hp if you're full shield and full health past 30m. Not likely to hit that long shot anyway, and it's common not to have 100% of your shield left, because it carries over rounds.
@@TheTechDweller Yes, that is true but Shroud said it for the Vandal as well and that one has no restrictions like that. I am sure he was just mixing up the way CSGO armor works with the way Valorant does it.
Before yall just talking about conspiracy of whether he got sponsored or not None of the content creator said that they're getting sponsored by riot games and its already illegal to to do that if you actually getting sponsored from them Its okay to hates riot games but pls do your research
@@antonhelsgauni've seen a lot of people saying something like "shroud ssecretly getting paid by riot to give valorant a positive review and wants him to pretend hes not getting sponsored" and a lot of things like that
Are you sure that vandal doesn’t one tap head with heavy armor? It deals over 150 and heavy armor only gets you 150 as your health pool (with 50% of that taken by armor while armor is still active. So, if I take 50 damage, 25 goes to base health damage and 25 goes to shields leaving me at 25 shield 75 health). That means if I get hit for 151 then I die with heavy shields.
Personally I think that Deagle not oneshotting through level 2 armor is a wise move because: 1) $800 asset should NOT counter a $1000 asset in ONE click. 2) 40 secs freeze time allows you to make a better strategy, use it to set up your team. Strategize more! 3) CS:GO Deagle is "almost" AWP for $800 and much more movement speed. It's absurd.
Shroud spent time making a video that is NOT from his stream. Ok this is rare.

nightcoreizlifexdd youtube money incoming...
whirly whirly finally someone get it
@@whirlywhirly5758 he makes 6× more for streaming for about the same time of this video would have taken to make..
RyukSongmin so you just throw in some random numbers to make an argument? You can’t even predict how many clicks this video will generate over time.
@@GeneralAeon by your theory doesn't that mean that he makes this video because he likes the game he is playing?
Shroud on video: good coach
Shroud in your games: destroyer of fun
An actual video that explains the game instead of a recorded scrim on repeat. Bravo Mikey.
Lets Save and Lets buy is really cool, they are helping people communicate that don't use a mic.
You know the game is good when shroud makes 2 informative videos about it.
Shroud: personally I think I suck at using this weapon.
Me: literally the dumpster behind a gas station....
I'm happy that someone as knowledgeable as you is already making educative content on VALORANT, and it seems like you're really enjoying the game, and all other streamers/players who played this seem to be loving it too
All that said and Riot not making paid advertisements for it
I'm really really hype about this game, it seems like it's gonna be fucking big
seeing shroud hype for this game makes me hyper XD
14:55 - "The AWPerator..." - The way you said that was perfect. :D
Thank you so much for making this video! I never played CSGO so a lot Valorant is very new for me.
Thanks for the vid man! been lookin for someone who takes the time to show the weapons and such for people who cant get in
13:50 almost plays avengers theme.
14:36 that first shot was hilarious. LOL.
I've been wanting to get a pc for a while. And if this game is pc only, you better believe I'm gonna buy one
When Shroud start making non-livestream PRE-RECORDED GUIDES...
You know he's fucking SERIOUS about this game
2:20 - 2:30 the heavy armour absorbs 50 damage and it is 50% plus the revolver does 160 damage. I thought that meant: first 100 damage takes 50 on the person and 50 on the armour and then it is 60 damage left for the revolver to do so it does that to the person => 110 damage. Isnt that right?
it does one shot in the head with heavy shields he's wrong
Armor absorbs 66% of damage
can't wait to play this game. Looks so good. Might even try to go pro lol
''might'' bro everyone who is going to play this game are tryhard players, so expect that u will face only people who want to become pro
Shroud really good at explaining. now I know the game so well
Ty DR.SHROUD
Thats the shroud gaming community admire and look forward , its an honor to live this era .
"This is the valorant, it kind of reminds me of the counter strike from counter strike."
its an exact copy of counter strike except they added magic lmao
@@rhyd1078 the magics is just skins on the nades
If valve would have fixed everything most Csgo players complain about this game wouldn't happen. Riot is doing valves job for them
@@PoopiDScoop haha you're fucking kidding yourself if you think valorant is ever gonna come close to CS.
@@fiveyup This comment won't age well, I'll tell you that
I'm so early that I don't see any "last time I was this early" comment.
Did machester united still alive ?
How tf Did you make this comment before the video was even published.
I know the shield mechanic is emulating the difference between the kevlar and the kevlar + helmet in CS:GO but I think you got the point in the armor mechanic which is making the armor only a one-button thing. I may suggest to Valorant that the players must be able to double-buy the armor without hurting much of the cost.
2:33: Why does the Sheriff NOT do one-shot headshots with the heavy shield? The Heavy shield absorbs 50% damage, but ONLY for 50 damage.
The sheriff does 160 damage, you have 100 health. From the first 100 damage 50 go to the shield and 50 to your health and then there's still 60 damage left, meaning you get a total of 110 damage even with the heavy shield.
It will only NOT one-shot you, if the distance is 30-50m.
And the vandal should be able to one-shot everyone at every distance.
I believe the shield doesn't work like that, if you take 200 damage the shield will break after absorbing the 100 damage, and then the remaining 100 damage will be applied to your health. In the sheriffs case, you would take 80 damage to the shield and the remaining 80 to health, so you would survive
@@kaelthas06 The shields description literally says "it absorbs 50% of the damage up to 50 points", meaning the description says my calculation is correct.
@@Etherion195 yet you don't die with a headshot while wearing armor, so it can't be
How come you didn't use the literal target that shows the spray patterns, even though you're RIGHT NEXT TO IT?
2:44 am but screw it imma watch it.
Quick question about the example with the Sheriff pistol and the heavy shield. I don't get why it still isn't one shotting with 160 to the head. Isn't the shield supposed to absorb 50% of damage taken for up to 50 damage, which would make the damage you take 160 - 50 = 110 (more than 100 damage)?
When a game is even being teached by Shroud himself, it means that the game is fun
I love all these people that are saying he is getting paid for this without knowing how sponsorships work.
@ooczzy I mean, Riot themselves confirmed it and if they did pay him then he would only be saying good things about the game and how it's 10 out of 10 the best game ever made etc. It is illegal to get paid and not mention that they're getting paid. If a mod notices something is up then they will contact the main office and tell them something is up. They can then question the suspect and check his recent activity and so forth. He is NOT getting paid. Why would he risk his successful career just to say something good about ONE game?
@ooczzy Yes there is somebody, you could read about this shit online if you really cared
@ooczzy please just use your brain more. Imagine if you actually are sponsored by BIG COMPANIES, and you don't say that you are. It's law that you have to, btw. And no one know about this sponsorship. The companies now have "blackmail" material from you, meaning they can sue you whenever they want for violating the law.
Who have a brain would want that? Please, just think.
@ooczzydo u really think RIOT GAMES would risk being sued for possibly hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for a game that already looks good wtf
Haven't seen anyone say that
13:18
He made a question mark with the bullets on the wall
@@nutskok5394 I get that bruh... All I was saying is that it looks like a question mark...
@@varunnigam7389 its from league of legends THE QUESTION MARK
It's so helpful to hear Shroud's thoughts on the guns since that'll help much quicker than "just have Shroud's aim, gg".
Thanks for taking the time on this,
[LOVE] Jate
This is literally the video I wanted. This is why shroud is the GOAT
His ability to explain a game so well really shows how experienced shroud is
To all those people saying this is sponsored : IT IS NOT!
Whenever someone sponsors you to play a game, you have to mention it in the video, or else it is illegal!
I haven't seen anyone say that, but about 15 people saying other people are saying that
Anton Helsgaun top comments are a thing, just scroll far down
No, no it is not. You don't have to mention you are being sponsored, most people just end up saying it to avoid backlash. But no you don't have to say that your being sponsored
Devin Poli uhhhhhh? You kidding or nah?
"all these bullet going through wall with ease"
Proceed to cut the result out of the video
Cant wait for clips of shroud absolutely dominating in this game
I imagine Shroud pinching his nose shut while talking, sounds hilarious
Wouldn't the sheriff still one shot to the head for heavy shields? If the heavy shield absorbs 50% and breaks after absorbing 50, that means you've eaten 100 damage when it breaks, but its blocked 50. Therefore it makes your total health 150, which is enough for a sheriff headshot to kill. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think shroud got his maths off.
It does, I think shroud was thinking the damage reduction works like in CS where even 1 Armor will grant you the full damage reduction
But we have seen way too many 1 shots in the game play for that to be the case.
The sherrif does 160 damage to the head under 30m. but 145 after 30m. So a sherrif headshot could leave you at 5hp if you're full shield and full health past 30m. Not likely to hit that long shot anyway, and it's common not to have 100% of your shield left, because it carries over rounds.
@@TheTechDweller Yes, that is true but Shroud said it for the Vandal as well and that one has no restrictions like that.
I am sure he was just mixing up the way CSGO armor works with the way Valorant does it.
from thumbnail and name of video I was expecting just fun little sketch... Got so much more. Thanks a lot :)
I am loving the content on this game. Especially the strategy guide on the characters and the gameplay. Looking forward to more
Will definately refer back too when valorant is actaully released
Drinking game idea: Drink every time he says ‘really’
I agree with you on the armor. It’s important to know how much health is left and what your gun can do in the situation.
Now this is a 10/10 video!
i never like video's from anyone but this one i gotta like.
Before yall just talking about conspiracy of whether he got sponsored or not
None of the content creator said that they're getting sponsored by riot games and its already illegal to to do that if you actually getting sponsored from them
Its okay to hates riot games but pls do your research
I don't see anyone saying that though
@@antonhelsgauni've seen a lot of people saying something like "shroud ssecretly getting paid by riot to give valorant a positive review and wants him to pretend hes not getting sponsored" and a lot of things like that
Chinese Spyware root kit!
if only i had access to the game to try these guns out :((
Are you sure that vandal doesn’t one tap head with heavy armor? It deals over 150 and heavy armor only gets you 150 as your health pool (with 50% of that taken by armor while armor is still active. So, if I take 50 damage, 25 goes to base health damage and 25 goes to shields leaving me at 25 shield 75 health). That means if I get hit for 151 then I die with heavy shields.
Personally I think that Deagle not oneshotting through level 2 armor is a wise move because:
1) $800 asset should NOT counter a $1000 asset in ONE click.
2) 40 secs freeze time allows you to make a better strategy, use it to set up your team. Strategize more!
3) CS:GO Deagle is "almost" AWP for $800 and much more movement speed. It's absurd.
