In Valorant, placement games determine your initial rank. Before you start ranked play, you gotta play 5 placement matches. The game's algorithm looks at how well you perform in these matches - it's not just about winning or losing, but also your individual performance counts a lot. So even if your team loses, if you're popping off, you can still get a good rank. After these 5 games, you'll get slapped with your initial rank, then it's up and down from there based on your wins and performance.
Short answer: You play 5 games, Valorant judges you. Play well to impress the algorithm gods and secure a decent rank even if your team tanks.
