Drunk Valorant

A couple years ago you'd be asking what the fuck was wrong with me for posing that question. This week (well, last week because we're slow) we talk about the patch notes, changes to Kay/O, Yoru, etc. I don't know, it was a long time ago. But its probably a bunch of bullshit. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

And you should trust us cause we're in Gold. But at least we watch people who are better than us talk about it too. This week we discuss our updated Waylay takes, how the phantom is actually not total shit, and of course how to yell at your controller for not smoking properly.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

yeah, I immediately double-dashed into site... not my best performance. On another note, a new Agent has ben added to the game! Waylay comes in hot with some crazy shit, and some entirely underwhelming shit. Plus there was a huge patch with a ton of other changes we are going to talk about. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Cass is out here just totally GLAZING Hunter with these topics this week. Is the original stinger better than a phantom or vandal? Like holy shit if this pod was recorded a couple years ago Hunter would be out of his mind. Also are alt-fire guns useless? and whats happening with this Bangkok tournament we know nothing about?Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

All three of us are back this week with a long-winded discussion on all things Valorant 2025. Drama in the 100T camp? Is Deadlock all of the sudden really good? But most importantly, do we know the real names of the Agents? (No, the answer is no)Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

With Chase carousing down south, SwaNiac joins us as in welcoming the new Columbian initiator as he makes an explosive entrance. Has Riot finally returned to releasing agents that aren't a huge disappointment at launch? And are they trying to Flex on the playerbase by releasing something no one wants and using that to increase the price of weapon skins (no, that's fucking ridiculous)? We're so (2/3) back baby!Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Its like light shields meta, but more expensive! Probably, we don't know anything about it yet, but we sure will give you some opinions on it. Plus Phoenix changes, some other shit, and a taste of off-season pro tournaments.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Today we learn of Cass' hatred of Clove, or maybe just Clove players? We talk about some insane NA drama, the start of the VCT OFF//SEASON, and the upcoming changes to Sunset (RIP Cypher). We know you missed our long-winded and uninformed blabbering, hopefully we can keep doing this more consistently!Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

5 stars that us lowly gold players will never see in one of our lobbies. But at least Cass is excited about teleporting a couple more meters. Join us again this week as we discuss the update, beer, and probably a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten about at this point.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

DVP is back with another edge-of-your-seat, gripping, beyond entertaining episode of complete speculation and shitty takes. Starting with a new VLR rating that we seem to have heard before.... our thoughts after playing a couple games with Vyse, and a roster-mania segment including a player tier-list that is 100% objective and factual.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

That's a wrap on VCT 2024 folks! Now I can fall back asleep and dream of a world where Sen won it all....This week were coming in with a lot to talk about, all of champs and its insane results, and the new agent Vyse. Join us as we argue about all the shit we don't know yet, and develop the econ meta for the new Valorant.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Okay it's been a while... and we have reverted to being absolute dog shit at Valorant. Back in the common ranks of Silver, we take on topics of map pools, skin reviews, no mic rants, and of course our pics for Champs 2024. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

(Note: This episode went live with the wrong audio file, and was a duplicate of episode 121. If you are seeing this message, it should be fixed. The responsible party has been stoned) New map is released, news to Cass apparently who couldn't find time to even take a look over in Japan. Too much sake. Join us as we discuss our first takes on Abyss, along with a possibly broken Iso buff and underwhelming Neon.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

The three hosts represent Pacific, Eastern, and whatever timezone Japan is in as Cass patches in from vacation. Shanghai has birthed some very cool storylines, but the patch preview from Riot steals the show. Neon stonks are sliding precipitously upwards, Iso is also looking like less of a total throw to pick, Reyna gets a strange sidegrade, and Raze and Clove get knocked down a peg. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Trouble is brewing at Rito HQ as they attempt to placate the masses who are fuming at the current map pool, lack of a replay system (coming soon since 2020), and the current agent meta. Desperate to curry favor with the playerbase, Riot mixes up the map pool, shows a WIP replay system, and bribes Chase, Cass, and guest Blate45 to shill for their anti-fun Raze satchel nerf (details TBD). After Hunter 1v3 clutches against the rest of the gang, we move on to giving some of the least informed Shanghai takes available, and sprinkle in a healthy dose of bemoaning Riot's pro play structure.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

The Riot devs finally took a que from this podcast and implemented pretty much exactly what we said to nerf Viper. Too bad they didnt listen to the whole episode and they fucked up Cypher at the same time. The moral of the story: listen to DVP.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

We craft a compelling case for Riot to hire us as we fix the current agent meta. Dissecting the current kits of all agents who need some love or have had way too much of it, we concoct ways to keep us ranked demons happy while also helping the pro meta. Chase also returns in this episode to defend his honor as a primary smoker, trying to keep a certain upstart Clove main from stealing his primary function on Brim. In my unprofessional opinion, I think we really cooked with some of these ideas.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

The legendary Duby returns for the first time since episode 4 to help us look at each of the under-performing agents with an "I can fix her" mentality, leading to the same outcome as when that saying is normally used, which is an "I am making her worse" result. It gets heated in the kitchen as we debate whether we are cooking up some delicious Truffle-based recipes or disgusting Surstomming (the fermented Scandinavian fish). Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Turns out, all you duelist mains now playing clove to fill, you still need to play SMOKES. Cass also explains his smoothest brain take on how to use the Bulldog... as someone who never uses the bulldog... nice. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Holy shit. Now we can int and it doesn't even mater? This gives Hunter wayyy too much power. Clove has entered the game and we're gonna talk about it. As well as recap the NA supremacy that happened over in Spain last weekend. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Building team comps and shit like that. Cass takes us on a wild journey though the world of Valorant vs deck building games. At least Hunter and Chase did their homework... right????? Plus what we want to see done to Viper (no, not like that) and we discuss the banana man drama.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

No more being bloinded by your teammates because the verdict is in: flashes are bad. You heard it here second folks, turns out you can still shoot when you can't see anything. Tune in as we discuss how flashless comps work in the pro league, and how they definitely DONT work in your ranked games. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Cass comes back from Australia with his head still upside down, claiming some people should never buy a rifle.... not cause your aim is dogshit (which it is) but for econ? Plus a recap of a very wild Kick Off tournament for VCT, and some SEN fanboys are in the chat.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Hunter wasn't able to find a time to record with Cass and Chase this week, but he wasn't going to let that stop him from thoroughly glazing Loud for their impressive takedown of Leviatan. Loud have pushed the meta before, and Hunter is here on the bleeding edge to tell you about the changes that are coming to pro Valorant in the wake of this game. Tune in to hear him struggle to maintain his sanity while talking to himself for 1.5 hours, barely able to even drink due to the awkward pauses it creates in a solo podcast. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Our man Blate45 is back this week to talk about the first few matches coming out of NA VCT. SEN city is poppin with a huge loss to Loud, 100T + Boostio are kinda cracked, and we finally see the superteams of NRG and Lev on stage for the first time. A lot has happened, we saw some of it, so lets goooo. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

This podcast was honestly so all over the place I have no idea what to call it. We talked about skins, and icebox, and Altered Carbon? Fuck, did we even have topics for this week? Cass? Plus a short intro to the upcoming pro season, before we really dive in next week!Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Of all the topics in all the world, how is it we keep talking about this one? Because fuck breeze. Fuck halls being open, but also fuck it being closed. Why does this map exist? We're gonna talk about it. And some other things sprinkled amongst the rage. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Or should I say WAS the limit... Seems like Riot is taking their hate for Oceania even further with the recent patch. Everything already wants to kill you down there, no need to kill their agents too. Join us as we discuss all things Skye nerf. Who benefits? Who is mad? Who can finally pop their birds without letting them expire? Also a bit too much NFL talk.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Literally how useless I feel on that fucking map, it's disgusting. But Riot has apparently completed their renovations on halls and will be reopening shortly. Also more of the never-ending talk of light shields, and how the Outlaw has affected the meta, and wrapping up with the lack of pro games in the upcoming season. We want more Val. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

With some time under their belts to evaluate the Outlaw, will Cass and Hunter fall victim to its propaganda or push back against the hype train? Cass also initiates a session of cathartic yelling at the sky about Rito's greedy and soulless battlepass.Oh, and where is Chase? Turns out he subscribed to light shields meta IRL, and didn't hear about the Outlaw being added while on vacation. He stepped off the plane to go home and immediately got one-tapped in the chest through his light shields. Rip :(Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Should Riot "outlaw" the players who only ever buy a single gun in a comp game? Well they certainly aren't going to, and everyone is going to be rocking this shorty/marshall/op hybrid at the beginning of this act. Tune in to hear Blate45 join Cass and Hunter as we discuss just how strong the new gun will be, and stick around for yet another round of speculation on how the new map changes will make your ranked games worse.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Valorant looking like Venezuela with the prices of these Ults nowadays. But could it be good for the game? Or is Riot truly just anti-fun? Plus, wrapping up this season of Premier, and our current thoughts on Gekko and Iso.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

The boys are broke, will anyone ever sponsor this podcast? Highly unlikely, but we can make the best of it. Speaking of ecos, this episode we talk what to do when your team cant afford the rising price of eggs... and Vandals... Balls to the wall? Or smoke a blunt and wait for them to push your shorty? Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

The infamous SilverCam aka "Ball Sweat" joins us this week to spew some guardian propaganda for your listening pleasure. Also on the metaphorical script, accessibility controls explained by people wholly uninformed on the topic and some of the most fun gimmicks in the game.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Might feel like a century, I can't believe y'all still listen to this shit. But we've done it. 100 episodes in the fuckin bag. Tune in to hear all of the zero extra effort we put into this particular episode!Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Honestly this podcast was so off topic I wonder if there were even topics to begin with. We talked about the hell-hole rank of silver for a bit, but the rest? God knows. I'll let you find that out for yourselves. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

After a week or so of being whisked off to the Gulag, how does Iso stack up? There were also a few bonus Cypher buffs for Cass to drool over. Does it make him better than KJ? Remains to be seen.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

What'd this? Rumours? Unsubstantiated claims? Why don't we talk about that for 2 hours. A new gun has entered the fray, maybe... Will it destroy the meta as we know it? Also we discuss what maps are in DESPERATE need of a redesign. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Iso do not want to play this character.... Shit is that joke going to turn away too many listeners? Whatever, just 1v1 me about it. Time to take stock of Valorant's latest agent who won't see any pro play. Plus speaking of pros, DVP Premier team is basically pro now.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

With the PBE changes top smokes coming, there's really only one important question... How does this make sense in the lore? Or at least Cass seems to thinks that's important. Plus a discussion of the Discord polls gets HEATED. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

How to peek in Valorant and probably still get one tapped by their Omen. Plus a bunch of weird tangents, a look at tracker stats, and a ramble about CS2. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

The rats are among us. Hiding around every corner. And your Jett doesn't give a shit.... Whose job is it to clear angles when pushing onto site? And, what would the game be like if no ultimates existed? RIP Phoenix.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Smurf? Report. Aimbot? Report. Kinda hurt your feelings in All Chat? Report. Probably won't do anything though so why bother. Should Riot be more willing to give out bans than they are? Also is the phantom underpowered or just underutilized?Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Bit of a shorter episode this week, post premier games ya know how it is (we're fuckin tired). But still get up to our random shit talking, cinematic tier lists, and the long awaited very-little-info discussion of Sunset. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

This week we have a whole slew of random shit, none of it is what we promised to talk about, but some of it might be mildly interesting. More deadlock, more Breeze, more VCT Drama. All in a 2 hour package.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

"To be clear, in Project A, shooting matters. You don't kill with abilities. Abilities create tactical opportunities to take the right shot." And since then, Riot has done their best to adhere to the words of that tweet. By removing anything that a player may consider "unique" or "fun". Join us this week as we discuss the lengthy changes coming in the next act, the results of Champions, and run out of time before getting to Sunset. Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

That's right, your least favorite, long sight-line, "go A" simulator map is BACK. Will the changes be a good thing, or will they allow the defenders to fucking roll every time? Join us plus our Aussie friend Arctek as we discuss the map changes and probably some more wrong shit about Champions.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Fuck full shields, why are you spending 600 extra creds to be 1 tapped? Join the boys plus guest as they discuss shields, updated agent win rates, and recap VCT Champions group stage. No way NRG gets grouped right? RIGHT????Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

We're back again this week with Hunter and Chase taking over the show for the first while. Talking new ways to queue into games, Chase's unwavering desire to win, and some more shit as we waited for Cass. Eventually we do get to talk gun stats for VCT and go over the Discord server's official map ranking.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

On a podcast known for heated disagreement, is it possible that our bad takes align on something? We learn that Cass pretends that 1/3 of Icebox doesn't exist, Chase needs to break the Geneva Convention in order to survive Pearl, and Hunter has no interest in learning "the meaning of the word." Also we are treated to the grand reveal that really no one was looking forward to: what agent Hunter is going to main for the rest of the act.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast

Blate45 and Cass were spewing some bullshit like that, idk I was a few beers in at that point and kind of lost the conversation. Pretty sure we also talked about how deadlock could be underrated and how Cass can't wait until Valorant Mobile is released. This podcast was a day late and a Hunter short, so excuse me if the audio sounds like ass.Discord: https://discord.gg/n5eP3XxzuGSubreddit: www.reddit.com/r/drunkvalorantpodcast
