Month: February 2022

Hello everyone and welcome back to a new post sorry I haven’t been writing as much recently it’s just been a new semester at school and I’ve been focusing on that at the moment. But for now, let’s get into this blog post. So I have been playing Valorant since its release. And overall that time I learned some pretty useful tricks that can be implemented into your gameplay at every rank.

Abilities can be bound to secondary buttons.

We all know that you can change the keybindings of your abilities but it turns out that you can actually choose a secondary binding for them as well. This may not seem useful at first but in certain situations, it can make all the difference. For example, you can bind Reyna’s to dismiss to the left mouse button. This would make it so that the instant you kill someone you dismiss away. Which could save your life constantly in tough situations.

There are headshot indicators on every map

Believe it or not on every map in Valorant there are certain discreet markings that indicate what vertical level to hold your crosshair at. For example on Haven, there are boxes on A, long that have lines between them that line up exactly with a player’s head.

This was in fact confirmed by a developer and these lines were put in the game on purpose.

How to Eco in Val

In Valorant economy is extremely important as it determines what weapons you and your team as well as your enemies have and can afford. If you lose your first round then you should save your credits second round and not buy or buy a sheriff if you are confident you will hit your shots, get kills, and win the round as they are a large investment early game. If you win the first round you can either save or force buy which is recommended so that you can deplete your enemies’ eco even more. The third round is called bonus in which everyone should be able to buy at least a spectre and light shields. After this based on your team’s money you should discuss with them what to do with creds.

I hope everyone has a good day catch you next time!

It’s time for the long awaited final lesson or part of the shield clicker app I hope you guys have had a good time so far but without further ado here is the final part of our project.

To start we are going to add in 3 new variables which are pantheon abilities list and filtered pantheon abilities list as well as ability. These will allow us to pull abilities from for our last function and ability.

Now lets get started with our code. To start we need to setup code to buy our pantheon which allows us access to more abilities.

Now that we are able to purchase our pantheon we need to setup our code for our pantheon ability so that we can actually use it.

This code uses a traversal to traverse our list and select a random option. The syntax of a list starts at 0 hence I set it 0,2 because there are 3 items in the list.

It also has a timer function incorporated in it as I need to set a slight cool down before each ability proc’s.

Next we have our first ability code

This ability sends down a divine bolt of lighting which gives shields which are multiplied by any multipliers that are currently active.

Our second ability is

Is blood lust the more times they click during this ability the more the multiplier increases.

Our final ability is greed which greatly increases our multiplier but de-buffs it to half as soon as the ability is over.

That’s it for our final part of the project I hope you guys enjoyed this post and series have a good day.

One thing before we start this post I’m really sorry that I haven’t been able to upload the last part of the shield clicker project. I just really wasn’t able to find time this week but I promise it will be done by next week. But let’s continue to today’s topic.

So the reason I decided to write about this is because I’ve recently started running 2 miles after school every day and also lifting for about 30 minutes. And I’ve been noticed many many benefits. To start I’m able to fall asleep easily whereas before I was struggling and not falling asleep until 11 or even later.

I’ll start with the running as that is something everyone can do and doesn’t require anything other than shoes. It’s okay to start slow when I started I averaged a 14 minute mile because it had been a while since I had really gone running. But in a week I’ve been able to lower that time to about 12 minutes. It just takes repetition and resilience.

It is imperative that you keep consistency in your runs and don’t try really hard one day and do 5 miles and do none for the next 2 days as this doesn’t help build any stamina. My schedule personally is 2 miles Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. And I rest Sunday because that day I have other demanding physical activities to do.

Which brings me to my next point YOU NEED TO REST! Make sure to take at least one day a week to just decompress don’t feel bad this is necessary for your body to adjust and decompress. But now I’ll go over techniques that I’ve noticed have helped me a lot. The first thing is to set a timer and a goal ahead of time which helps keep you motivated. Second drink water before you go 8 oz is the bare minimum because you will become thirsty quickly. Third stretch before and after your run because this will help your muscles relax and heal after building up all that lactic acid while running.

Speaking of let me explain what lactic acid is. Lactic acid is essentially a substitute for the end product of cellular respiration. So a glucose molecule breaks down into pyruvate as usual in cellular respiration but after that the pyruvate breaks down into lactate. This lactate along with approximately 4 ATP molecules into your muscles as opposed to the usual 30-40 from cellular respiration. This lactate begins to build and build until it forms the acid pictured above inside your muscles. This causes that familiar burning feeling that most people feel after running or straining their muscles in some way. Which is why stretching after is important and so is drinking water because it helps move around and break down that acid. Which allows your muscles to heal faster.

But enough science for one day time to get back to the actual blog I’m now going to transition into the lifting section of the blog so if you are not interested in this part thank you for visiting this page and have a good day. For those of you interested here we go.

The type of lifting I do is light weight and high rep or repetition. This is because I am trying to build muscle. People who lift heavy are generally already strong and are trying to go for PR’s or personal records in terms of how heavy they can lift.

To start I’ll go over a typical arm day with me. So I come back from running between 4:30 pm and 4:45 pm and then I shower and get ready by 5 pm. I then lift for about 30 minutes and then finish up my homework. During my lift sessions I start with about 25 reps of biceps curls, 25 reps or hammer curls, 25 reps of chest press, 25 reps of overhead press, 25 reps of tricep extensions, and back presses 25 reps. I do these with 10 pound weights and I do 25 each arm of course not just 25 one arm

I hope these helped out. Thats all for today have a good day and see you guys in my next post!
