Current Rank & Situation · The Inner Game of Valorant

Current Rank & Situation

I’m currently Ascendant 3 on my main account. I used to play on a gaming laptop, but after upgrading to a proper PC, I aimed to reach Immortal. Despite that, I struggled under pressure and couldn’t achieve it on my main.

However, on an alternate account that started at Diamond 3, I managed to climb to Immortal 1 (90 RR). This shows that I have the skill level, but something changes mentally when I play on my main account.

Mental Issues Costing Me Games :

on Main AccountI feel like a different player when I queue on my main. There’s more pressure to perform, which affects my confidence and decision-making. As a result, I also play fewer games on the main.
On my alt account, I play more freely even when I’m not warmed up or just playing casually. Despite that, I still try to win, communicate, and stay consistent.
I generally stay calm and avoid blaming teammates, but when others become aggressive or toxic toward me, I lose focus and start underperforming.
When I queue with someone who talks about things unrelated to the game, it distracts me and lowers my focus.
Playing with someone who tilts or becomes toxic makes me overthink and impacts my gameplay negatively.
