How Many Hours Do You Need To Achieve Bronze?
If you've spent most of your time in Bronze and Silver, chances are you'll be placed into Bronze instantly with the new Episode and Act. But if you're in Iron, the story's kind of different. Not only are you a bit bad at the game, but you'll also be met with a lot of smurfs. Generally speaking, with practice you can climb from Iron into Bronze within one Episode and Act.
What you should aim for is getting exceptionally good at the game before jumping into Competitive, maybe with a friend or two. This is because Riot Games awards great players with good matches by ranking them up instantly. Say you're Iron 1 and you've won 10 matches being match MVP in every single one. Valorant will rank you to Iron 3, or better yet Bronze. But once you reach Bronze, how should you approach the game and aim for the sky?
How To Improve From Bronze?
- Practice your aim skills. In Bronze, you can do most of the work by just showing off some decent aim skills. Nobody at this skill level knows how to use the potential of their Agents well anyway, so don't worry about it too much. You don't have to learn lineups and all that kind of stuff; focus on your aim routine. At the end of the day, the core Valorant gameplay gets down to how you shoot down your enemies.
- Main 1-2 Agents only. What Agents you choose exactly is totally up to you, but we would rather not recommend you change your role every match. If you're new to the game, you also might want to consider this guide: The 3 Best Valorant Agents For Beginners
