just play bots on easy mode until that gets too easy, then medium and then hard. test out how good you are in regular games and learn from your mistakes. deathmatch is not a good way to get better because it isnt the same environment as regular valorant. it puts you in a fight or flight mode instantly and constantly instead of being focused or thinking very much about what you should do. basically, theres not much retention on what you do in a game of deathmatch. its better used to test your skills, not hone them
