Best Warm-Up Routine Before Ranked in Valorant 2026
15 min routine: (1) Range Eliminate 50 - 5 min, (2) Guardian DM - 5 min, (3) Your main gun DM - 5 min. Don't: Warm up for 2 hours (exhaustion). Do: Short focused session. Goal: Muscle memory activation, not perfection. If warmup feels bad, don't play ranked that day. Your first ranked game should feel smooth. Consistency in routine = consistent performance.
