Valorant is a game that requires its players to coordinate with each other using voice comms. Players who speak to their teammates in solo-queue typically have an easier time playing as a team than those who play muted and use only pings to communicate information. Pokimane used her secondary Twitter account to lament on the issues of being a girl and a famous streamer attempting to climb in ranked mode. Pokimane on climbing ranked Valorant On her alternate Twitter account under her real name Imane, Pokimane tweeted about how her brother reached Immortal rank in Valorant, and how it\u2019s inspired her to grind the game to reach that level. She talked about the struggles of using voice-comms in-game being a girl who happens to be one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, saying, \u201ci find my biggest issue is i don\u2019t like to talk too much in game (ppl get weird about me being a girl \/ being poki), and that doesn\u2019t work with being a sova main. and i don\u2019t have a dependable duo to comm on my behalf.\u201d Voice comms are quite necessary at that high level of play, and those who don\u2019t use the feature are going to be at a disadvantage. Being Pokimane while trying to climb also seems difficult as players are going to be more mesmerized by being on her team rather than working together to win a match. i find my biggest issue is i don\u2019t like to talk too much in game (ppl get weird about me being a girl \/ being poki), and that doesn\u2019t work with being a sova main \ud83e\udd72 and i don\u2019t have a dependable duo to comm on my behalf ~ so i\u2019m gonna look for one + learn solo q agents \ud83d\ude0c \u2014 imane \ud83d\udc51\ud83d\udc9c (@imane) August 27, 2021 She also mentioned that being a Sova main makes this more of a problem as Sova players need to communicate quite often. Poki says she is going to learn more solo-queue agents, as well as find a solid partner to duo with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pokimane opens up on Valorant ranked issues: \u201cPeople get weird about me being a girl\u201d Twitter: @pokimanelol \/ Riot GamesTwitch star streamer Pokimane opened up on Twitter about her struggles climbing ranked Valorant, saying it\u2019s hard being a girl using voice communication.
