How do you practice smokes without wasting ranked time?

Guide Q&A

Load a custom game on the map you play most, walk the spots from the guide, and throw smokes with the same crosshair you use in ranked.

Film a 30s clip or screenshot the pixel gap so you remember the lineup after patches shuffle textures.

Small thing: I keep one ranked preset and one deathmatch preset, easier to A/B.

Appreciate answers that stay on Valorant instead of generic copy-paste.
