Sit closer to monitor so you can smell them when they swing

bro the timing was so good on this upload/ i was literally thinking about this JUST as I needed it. Thanks for the guide Konpeki!

I repeatedly did tests with my 60(!) year old dad, and he always had a reaction time of 165ms with single results as low as 145ms. That’s the same as me and I am 21. To be fair, he still does sports multiple times a week and has always been an active person, but don’t let your age demotivate you❤

If you all want a workout that can enhance reaction time, try to improve your VO2 Max (look up how important it is to your overall health, especially as you get older). This is your body’s ability to throw around and synthesize oxygen, how efficiently and how quickly. Look up Kettle Bell Swing Ladders, and how to breathe so you can improve VO2 max. EVERYONE needs to be doing this, because reaction time is directly related to how well your body can metabolize and process chemicals from the air and move it around the body. Konpeki needs to research this and make a video about it. How VO2 Max improvement can enhance competitive gaming.

I'm a valorant coach and your videos give me so much insight into some important perspectives on topics that my students ask and worry about. Every time i'm here i get a little bit better as a player and a lot better as a coach !! ♥

2:47 I haven't played anymore Valorant for 2 years, I didn't even know they put a window in there lol

[uchidasaero]

ive been wondering about this for so so long, tysm! really helps!

[Azyor]

I still don't understand how pros can hold micro angle and still hit shots... like the timing to shoot is so little I don't know how they do that. I mean it almost feel inhuman sometimes xd

[gatwell]

thank you so much for this. I’m a 16yo as3 with a 270ms reaction time before, now there’s nothing stopping me from getting immortal

I was researching this a few days ago, I basically agree with everything said in this vid. Reaction time isn’t worth thinking about, just being alert is enough for most.

An interesting thing I noticed is that (for me at least), my reaction time with mouse is WAY faster than my keyboard, which is like 100ms slower at most. Even still, it doesn’t feel like it makes too much difference.

Perfect timing with the video! Great work.

i have 140-150ms reaction time on human benchmark, but I cannot manage to utilise it in valorant idk why... am asc 3, will watch the full video now.

[animebird]

On human benchmark i have average 156-174. But i still feel like i dont react very often now adays. Nice tips to refocus my "reaction" to other things i have looked over lately. Very helpful

[sergrojGrayFace]

All this feels like tip-toeing around the elephant in the room: high ping.

[redark]

i only have 2 questions the first on being, how do you do good entrance pathing in lower elo when its not always a safe option to rely on your team to hold other angles, comms are always important and i guess just trying to play off of them is there anything else? the second being how to anticipate different types of peeks. Anyways great video thanks!

[chronoboy]

meanwhile tenz doing reaction test and gets 90 ms and says "my brain is lagging" -_-

[prakharchaurasiya]

Still didn't answer the original problem:

When you're standing still holding an angle and enemy peeks and kills you before you even register their presence, is that reaction time diff???
Also, how to improve that?

[NahIdWin-jyju]

i'm watching this video knowing well that my reaction time is rarely beat and I just miss my first shot is all lmfao

[RoxasValorant]

I feel like it has extreme importance at immortal, when I'm getting 220ms I end up bottomfragging and every single enemy feel like the flash is peeking, but when I'm on a 170ms day, suddenly I am the top frag. Because there is no time to adjust aim if I'm just slow. Everyone is too fast tbh. That's why I'm a complete nerd that plays unfair with abilities
