What is Valorant Coaching Like

When going through random Valorant relates sites on the internet, chances are you might have stumbled upon people calling themselves Valorant coaches. That’s all well and good, but it makes one wonder how exactly someone can coach another player. 

Well, if you’ve ever wondered how Valorant coaching works, then you’re at the right place! We’re here to tell you what qualities a good Valorant coach has and the various methods they use to ensure their customers walk away better players than they were before their purchase. We will also go through what makes our coaches the best of the bunch.

What do Valorant coaches teach?

First and foremost, let us get into what you can expect to learn when hiring the services of a Valorant coach. As expected, the first thing anyone would say is “tips on bettering gunplay.” After all, gunplay is what sets apart a casual and an expert player. This includes tweaking mouse sensitivity to best suit the player and determining what gun to use for what agent. 

Additionally, they work towards bettering your game sense and how you react to certain situations, all the while keeping a lookout for any habits you might have that have the potential to hinder your gameplay.

When talking about Valorant specifically, it’s possible to ask a coach to help you perfect a specific role, such as how to efficiently lurk as a controller or maximize your frags per round as a duelist. Not only that, but if you want to perfect a specific agent instead, then coaches have that covered too.

Oh, you thought they only offered individual training sessions? Well, think again because it’s possible to have them coach your entire team simultaneously, strengthening everyone individually and as a team. After all, Valorant is a team-based game, and you’re only as strong as your weakest link. This has the extra benefit of reducing the individual cost of coaching since you can split it with your teammates.

What methods do Valorant coaches use?

Now that we know what Valorant coaches do let’s see how they do it. Professional coaches use various methods to better the player they are coaching, but which one they go for depends on certain situations. 

For example, if the coach feels like you need a direct demonstration of how to do a flick properly, they might hop on a custom or online match and show you how it’s done first.

Real-time coaching

The first method of coaching has the coach hop on a call with you and ask you to live-stream your match, where the coach critiques and commentates on your gameplay in real time. While this method is efficient in most cases, sometimes the added pressure of having a professional player judging your every move might have you making mistakes that you would otherwise never make.

Alternatively, the coach can stream themselves playing a match and ask the customer to watch them. This puts the player in a professional’s shoes and makes it so they’re part of the action themselves.

Lastly, if the coach feels it’s the best way for you to get better, they might queue up with you themselves. This is mostly done when the customer wants to get better at being a sentinel, which is effectively the support role of the game. What better way to judge someone’s support skills than to be one of the players they’re supporting?

Replay analysis

The next method most coaches use is analyzing the replay of your match (or matches) and pointing out what you did wrong, what you did right, and what you could have done better. Everything they do is to ensure you get a competitive advantage against the enemy.

This is extremely efficient in catching bad habits that you might not even know you have, such as reloading too quickly without first making sure you’re in the clear resulting in the enemy catching you off guard.

Training plan

Finally, if the coach whose services you purchased feels like you might need extra continuous practice, then you can ask them to piece together a training plan specifically suited for you. How long the training plan will last depends on the coach’s analysis of your skills.

As for how many hours of coaching you need, it depends on your current skill and how much in need of assistance you are. Most players cannot properly analyze their skills, so we recommend you purchase the coaching service for an hour or two and have the coach decide for you.

What makes Eloking coaches qualified to teach you?

Now for the final fear you might have, which is what if the coach you hired isn’t that good? We can’t speak on every coaching service, but we can tell you that if you’re hiring a coach from Eloking, there’s nothing to worry about.

We can confidently say this because Eloking’s coaches are only selected and hired after doing extensive background research to ensure they’re the real deal. This applies not only to their rank but also to their actual skill. You can’t have someone who got carried to a specific rank coach anyone, after all.

Finally, if you’re wondering what language the coaches use, then all Eloking coaches speak English as their default language for orders. However, it’s best to ask in live chat before making your order if you would like the coaching to happen in a language that is not English, as, because our coaches are from all around the world, chances are there might be someone who speaks your preferred or native language.

Conclusion

So to conclude it all - is Valorant coaching worth it? If you plan to get better at Valorant, then coaching for you is a no-brainer. Not only does it help you get better at the game, but it also provides you with a better understanding of the professional gaming scene.
