How to Whisper in Valorant

Communication or ‘Voice/Chat Coms’ is very crucial to winning a match in Valorant. Effective communication is critical. Players must inform their teams about what they’re presently doing and what they intend to do in the future. It’s important when attempting to set up plays in-game such as reclaiming site or defending.

Sadly, this kind of communication mostly happens only in high elo games. Good chat coms are so rare in low ranks for some reason and I think that is one of the reasons why most of them are hard stuck in those ranks.

Most of them don’t use coms simply because they don’t have any functional headsets, some can’t speak English or some don’t really want to use it for simple reasons of being shy. Fortunately for those shy people, voice coms isn’t the only option in the game as there is also a text chat available for you to communicate.
