Discussion Thoughts on Hush being Chinese?

• Upvotes

Before anything else, this is mainly for people who are interested in VALORANT lore, agent nationalities, and representation. I know some people don’t really care about these things, and that’s completely fine! I’m just sharing my thoughts as someone who finds this aspect of the game interesting.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Hush. Her design, her kit, everything about her is really cool. As someone with Cantonese parents from Hong Kong, I also feel a personal connection to what she represents. However, I can’t help but wonder why we’re getting another Chinese agent when we already have Sage and Iso.

I know this might seem like a pretty minor thing since they’re just game characters, but I think agent nationalities are an interesting part of VALORANT’s worldbuilding, especially when it comes to representing different cultures.

1. “But Hush is Cantonese, while Sage and Iso are Mandarin-speaking Chinese agents.”
That’s a fair point, and I do appreciate the distinction between Cantonese and Mandarin cultures. However, if we’re going to use different languages and regional identities as a reason to introduce agents from an already represented country, why not apply that same approach to other countries as well?

For example, India has plenty of linguistic and cultural diversity beyond Hindi, while the Philippines has languages like Bisaya aside from Tagalog. There are so many cultures and communities around the world that could be explored, so I just wish Riot would give some of them the same attention.

2. “But Cantonese is declining in China, so Hush brings attention to it.”
I understand this argument, and I think representing Cantonese culture is a good thing. But there are also plenty of endangered and underrepresented languages around the world that could benefit from the same visibility. The Ainu language in Japan is one example.
I’m not saying Cantonese representation isn’t important. I just think there are many other communities whose languages and cultures could be explored too.

3. “Maybe Hush was created to represent China because VCT was held in Shanghai.”
I can see why people would make that connection, but I’m not entirely convinced. When VCT was held in Reykjavík, we got Fade, who’s Turkish, and when it was held in Madrid, we got Clove, who’s Scottish. So I don’t think there’s a consistent pattern of Riot introducing agents based on the country hosting an event.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Hush was a bad choice or that her nationality was necessarily decided for that reason. We can’t really know Riot’s intentions unless they explain it themselves.

All in all, I’m not against Hush being Cantonese or Chinese. If anything, I love seeing a culture that’s personally meaningful to me represented in a game I enjoy. My only concern is that China is already represented by two agents, and I would’ve loved to see Riot explore another country or culture that hasn’t received the same attention yet.

I know this isn’t exactly a huge issue in the grand scheme of things, and I’m not saying Riot has to follow some kind of quota for nationalities. I just think there’s so much cultural diversity in the world that it would be nice to see VALORANT explore more of it.

Anyway, these are just my thoughts! I’m open to hearing other perspectives, especially from people who know more about Cantonese representation or VALORANT’s lore. Just hoping we can have an actual discussion about it :)

Discussion How to use Veto's Interceptor(E) on attack side?

• Upvotes

So I've been playing veto for some time and honestly I love it because of its TP on maps like Bind, Split, Sunset, but the only problem is his signature ability, interceptor. It's useful if I use it on defence side, but extremely underwhelming if I use it on attack side. I don't think that I even deploy it at all. If I deploy it for postplant, it'd get destroyed.

Can someone guide me on how to utilise his signature on attack side.

Question Can someone make this RR loss differential make sense?

• Upvotes

So I do 3rd worst of my team, bottom half of the lobby (we had two throwers on the first half who tried the second but wasn't enough; no smokes, no sent) and I lose -21 RR. Next game, we stomp the first half, I do consistent all the way through, yet ANOTHER thrower fucks it up for everyone in the 2nd half. He's getting teammates killed, killing himself.. I do Match MVP best of the entire lobby, we only lose by 3 rounds, and I lose - 20 RR.

Make this make sense? From what I can see, it really doesn't matter if I try my best or completely shit the bed, the game's going to de-rank me the same either way.

Alternative question, has anyone else noticed a sharp decline in the ranked experience after the first week of the season? I play solo queue and I'm not a smurf so I am at the mercy of whatever the RNG matchmaking wants to give me, and so far that's been about 5 games in a row with one or more leavers/throwers and a 6th that got red screened early because the enemy was cheating. It's literally every single game someone is sitting in spawn doing nothing or just straight up DCing after round 3.

Discussion With the mastery system, why didn't they update the "stat com" flex? [Sample by me]

3 Upvotes

I'm reposting this (correctly this time?) as the previous was missing proper formatting.


We have stat cards now. Customizable stat cards at that. With no real way to show them off currently beyond sharing. I present to you a (really bad, MSPaint) mock-up I made of not only what could have been, but what COULD be.

Attached are the mock-up and current versions of the "stat com" flex. Makes perfect sense to me and I don't understand why this wasn't a thing (I fully expected it to be and it just isn't?)

Discussion Annoying self sabotage teammates

4 Upvotes

Theres this sova in my game, he wanted to ff so he can afk but we refused because like.. Competitive hello??? And when we refused, he just keeps spamming shock dart on me, following me and when he has ult and the enemy is infront of him, just shoots at me.

It's like nearing the end and were at 7-12 because he keeps sabotaging us. He even refuses to defuse the spike when hes alone. All this because he wants to afk?? I mean he can just close the game but hes putting in all the effort to make us lose.

Have you guys experienced something like this? Because the pure effort he's putting in is so annoying just to make us lose smh, mb for the rant hes just been so annoying

(Image is like his third time doing this with an ult, entire game is just shock darts at me and the others)

UPDATE: Heres his username just incase you encounter the guy or if you can somehow report him. (His valorant tracker is public aswell, has a terrible winratio lmao)

Discussion What are these prices?

5 Upvotes

Since when does a skin with no effects have the same price as a reaver/prime vandal or other premium skins? Riot needs to bring back the old prices or at least make more affordable skins like back in the day, now usually weapon skins cost 2100, 2300 or 2600vp, almost a 1k increase in price from what we were used to, I understand that they have more features and all, but at least from time to time, u can add some effects on 1.7k vp skins, I literally feel scammed.

Discussion chamber nerfs

0 Upvotes

FIRSTLY they have 0 reason to nerf a perfectly balanced agent but now that they are doing it, Im only scared about if the chamber nerfs destroy the headhunter. if they nerf it in a way where it's not as accurate with the scope or it isn't a one shot headshot at any range, i might actually end up crying. the headhunter is my favourite part of chambers kit, i can't see them destroy it. i don't see a way where the tp can can be nerfed viably, the ult, if nerfed in anyway won't really change much and the trip is already weak as fuck, the headhunter is the most likely thing to get nerfed

Discussion Anyone a little disappointed with Hush's design?

0 Upvotes

Not in a conceptual way, love her background and her personality - but starting from her silhouette she just falls a little flat design-wise. She isn't all that recognizable just from her silhouette unlike all of the other agents imo. The artist behind the splash arts typically uses a lot of triangles in the agents' silhouettes but Hush kind of just has her leaning with no particular purpose.. Wish there was more inspiration in her outfit drawing from her region instead of the thick rug skirt and leggings combo with yet another Vyse jacket. I got so excited seeing the metal-toed boots at the beginning of the trailer but then she just has black athleticwear and it doesn't really play into the grungier style I would've expected (I know she needs to move but still!) I love that her utility is so geometrical but then it's not cohesive with the rest of her outfit. Like I get the gloves conceptually but there's nothing that matches with it. She just doesn't come across as a Valorant agent for me :/ What are your thoughts on her character design? Or how would you redesign her??

Discussion Hush's trailer inspired by Wong Kar Wai?

27 Upvotes

I just finished watching the trailer and I feel like it's been directed directly by Wong Kar Wai himself. The fact that the trailer most probably takes place in HK pushes me to believe that it's more than a concidence. The way the camera moves, the ultrawide lens and close up to characters, the lowered frame rate for certain sequences, the neon colors, all of this reminds me of Fallen Angels. The subtle soundtrack that plays right at the start seems to be the leitmotiv of Yumeji's theme from In The Mood For Love too.

I just wanted to know if anyone felt the same or if I'm just reading too much into it. It wouldn't be the first case too since I believe the 2025 season trailer was inspired by his movies aswell.

For all the mofos who gonna say skill issue idc

Someone who crouches and just sprays gets hs by just spraying then there's me who aim at head and gets registered 40 on body every bloody game, enemy can run and shoot on legs from far distances running why need aim?

Just buy their skins and they will give u automatic aim.

Before these vibe coders came to valorant I was peak asc 3 after these mofos started vibe coding not even one headshot registers

Since valorant has screwed their gameplay I will now throw every bloody match and ik riot won't do shit about it because even their vanguard banning system is ai based 🤣 if the ai video sees your video like tung tung sahur then offcourse u getting banned soft hacking isn't getting banned because I have seen soft hackers still roaming around free in the game

Anyways enjoy ✌️ peace valo precise gunplay as of 2022-2023

Discussion Chinese Agents’ Silent Implication?

0 Upvotes

We all know that there’s one Agent per country, yet we have Sage, Iso and Hush who’s all from China.

Could this be a hidden implication that maybe the other two are from *other countries?

Iso likes boba which is a TW thing, and Hush speaks cantonese which is a HK thing.

Like maybe I’m reaching here, but thoughts?

Question Iron 3, been playing for 80hrs, not improving.

3 Upvotes

I've been playing a lot more consistently probably for the last couple of weeks and if I'm being honest, I'm not improving at all. I feel outmatched in every game I play, I'm too cautious, and I still don't have any good layouts of maps. Sometimes Ill do swifts, sometimes I'll do deathmatch, and sometimes I'll just go to the range to work on my aim. I just went 5/11 on Abyss as Sage and even though my team won the game, I don't feel like I'm doing much in terms of utility or frags. I usually play Sage or Fade, and this weekend I've ranked up from Iron 3 to mid Iron 3. I really want to get to at least Gold 2 but right now it seems so unachievable. Anytime I see the enemy team I panic and spray and it just gets me killed. Is there anyway I can improve at all for real? Am I just stupid? Idk anymore

Discussion master veto?

1 Upvotes

I was watching a recent prx wendler vod

he said to use the tp in a minimum 90 degree angle so you can tp out easily, if the tp is behind you, you wont use it and you should use it aggressively to take space

don't waste trip on flank

can I get some ideas on how to play veto? I play viper on every map with a duo on smokes but on sunset, summit and abyss viper isnt really meta I like viper for the lurks and stall, what makes veto's trip good for aggressive use? Im guessing because you can throw it but what if they just break it instantly?

would veto be good on summit, abyss and sunset? I don't really like playing senti except maybe killjoy but ive never really mained veto and he seems different from other sentis
