Many VALORANT players love to track their stats using apps like Tracker.GG and Blitz because they want to keep tabs on their performance and see how they’ve improved over time. It’s like having a personal coach giving you feedback on your gameplay.

But hold on a second, not everyone is jumping for joy about these tracking apps. In fact, there’s a small group of players who are feeling pretty miffed about the whole thing. Why, you ask? Well, it seems that some folks are getting a little too obsessed with their stats and letting it affect their in-game experience.

One VALORANT player took to Reddit to vent their frustrations, explaining how some players are psyching themselves out over stats. They pointed out that just because someone has a killer K/D ratio for the day, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re facing off against top-notch opponents. In fact, they might just be dominating a bunch of beginners. And let’s face it, we’ve all been there – feeling like a total boss until someone in the chat starts making a big deal about our stats.

But it doesn’t stop there. The Reddit user also mentioned how some players are dodging or remaking matches if their teammates don’t have a 50 percent win rate in their recent games. Seriously, talk about adding unnecessary pressure! And get this – some players are even dodging games if someone on their team has reached a high rank in a previous act. It’s like they’re treating the game like a job interview or something.

The frustration doesn’t end with just one Reddit post. Another player chimed in, calling it a “stupid thing that ruins the game.” It seems like these tracking apps, which were meant to be helpful, are causing some serious drama in the VALORANT community.

So, if you’re feeling the pressure from these tracking apps, maybe it’s time to take a step back and remind yourself why you started playing VALORANT in the first place. It’s not about being the top player on the leaderboard or having a perfect win rate – it’s about having a blast with your teammates and enjoying every intense moment of the game.
