It’s a debate as old as time, or as old as Counter-Strike, which for some of you reading is basically all of time. What’s the best strategy on after a round 1 loss? The perceived wisdom has always been to do a full eco, and buy the next round, but some Valorant players have found another tactic and it has divided the community.<\/p>\n

Brought to the attention of Valorant’s popular subreddit, the tactic involves the eco team deliberately killing themselves by using an ability such as Brimstone’s Molotov<\/a> or Phoenix’s Hot Hands<\/a>.<\/p>\n

YourAfricanDad, who posted a clip showing the tactic in action<\/a>, simply wanted to know one thing – whether this stat “prohibited or not”.<\/p>\n

“These people in ranked kept losing the pistol fight. Every time they’d lose it, the Brimstone\/Raze would just team kill them, thus they would start the new round with about 5k each. And apparently, ‘everyone does that’.”<\/p>\n
