Valorant has literally hooked people with it. The captivating gameplay, unique maps, interesting team-based tactics, and diverse agent roster are the reasons for this game’s huge success. However, as the grass is always greener on the other side, this game has some drawbacks as well.
For example, the remake system needs a bit of change, as a single denial to remake a match makes practical and serious players sit for a game for rounds after rounds to eventually lose at the end. Similarly, there’s another fact about the game mechanics that players want to change.
Valorant Fans Are Worried about Team Collision
There are a lot of problems Valorant fans are facing right now. Team collision is one of them. Recently, a dedicated Valorant fan took to Reddit and vented his frustration about team collisions. According to him, colliding with teammates in different scenarios in a match is pretty annoying. For instance, if a player is peeking at an enemy and gets a kill, then the enemy team is about to take the trade and that player gets killed because his teammate blocks the chokepoints.
This scenario is pretty disgusting, as he would have taken cover if his teammate hadn’t blocked his path. Now, this problem often occurs when multiple players try to pick from the same angle, and that problem reaches its climax if the exit to that angle is a narrow chokepoint. For example, at the attacking site entry of A, a single Raze can finish the whole attacking team if they don’t manage to dodge it successfully.
That’s why in this entry point, Clove’s vulnerability or Fade’s pull are lethal. Another scenario where team collisions have bad effects is at the A site entry for the attackers. We have seen how Sova, Odin, and his recon dirt can eat up a whole squad due to team collusion.
How To Avoid Such Scenarios in Valorant?
Frankly speaking, there is no such thing as a proper fix for this situation. To avoid team collisions, the sole solution is appropriate tactics. First of all, players have to avoid gathering at narrow choke points, as escaping from that situation becomes hard due to severe congestion.
Players should also refrain from holding the same angles, as it would not only lead to team collisions but can also lead to multiple fatalities due to the same line of fire of the enemy. Also, noticing enemy behaviors and their lack of using certain abilities in certain scenarios is crucial. For example, many fans get blocked in the same molly due to team collisions. So, players have to be more cautious about entering a site.
Another piece of advice for support players is to not stand near players peeking for a frag. For example, Jett mains usually dash after hitting a shot. So, if you block Jett’s dash, then her death is inevitable.
Riot is yet to bring some fixes for team collisions. We hope the developers pay heed to these requests from the fans and come up with a proper solution.
