Question 1

What is Refocus?

Accepted Answer

Refocus is a behavioral intelligence platform for competitive Valorant players. It analyzes post-game match history using the official Riot API to detect recurring behavioral patterns — specific decisions, habits, and tendencies that repeat across many games regardless of outcome. Refocus identifies the single highest-impact pattern as the player's Focus and provides one concrete behavioral instruction to address it. Unlike stat trackers that show per-game metrics, Refocus identifies behavioral root causes behind performance plateaus.

Question 2

What is behavioral intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Behavioral intelligence, in competitive gaming, is the systematic analysis of recurring decisions and habits across many matches to identify patterns that persistently affect performance. It differs from performance analytics (aggregate statistics like KDA or win rate) and mechanical training (motor skills). Behavioral intelligence answers 'why does this keep happening?' rather than 'what happened in this game?'

Question 3

What is a Focus in Refocus?

Accepted Answer

A Focus is Refocus's primary output — the single highest-impact behavioral pattern detected in a player's match history. A Focus includes: a name (e.g., Trade Discipline), a category (e.g., Aggression · Trading), a description of the specific behavior, evidence showing how many matches contain the pattern, a confidence tier (Low / Medium / High), a concrete instruction for the next 5 games, and a lifecycle stage (Emerging through Resolved).

Question 4

How does the Focus Lifecycle work?

Accepted Answer

The Focus Lifecycle has six stages: Emerging (pattern first detected, confidence building), Active (confirmed as the highest-impact pattern, instruction delivered), Improving (measurable progress detected), Stable (pattern persists without worsening), Regressing (pattern intensifying), and Resolved (pattern no longer recurring). Transitions are driven by match data, not by time elapsed. When a Focus Resolves, Refocus automatically promotes the next highest-impact pattern.

Question 5

Who is Refocus for?

Accepted Answer

Refocus is designed primarily for hardstuck Valorant players — players stuck at a rank despite continued play. The typical user has mechanical skills appropriate for their rank or above, plays several ranked sessions per week, and cannot identify what specific behavior is preventing improvement. The most common rank range is Silver through Diamond.

Question 6

How does Refocus differ from Tracker.gg?

Accepted Answer

Tracker.gg displays per-game statistics: kills, deaths, KDA, ACS, headshot percentage, win rate. These describe what happened in individual games. Refocus identifies why certain outcomes keep recurring across many games by detecting behavioral patterns that persist regardless of match outcome. Tracker.gg is for stat lookups; Refocus is for behavioral root-cause diagnosis. The tools are complementary.

Question 7

How does Refocus differ from Mobalytics?

Accepted Answer

Mobalytics produces a GPI (Gamer Performance Index) — aggregate percentile scores across performance metrics — and presents radar charts with generic tips like 'improve your vision score.' Refocus detects the specific behavioral pattern limiting a specific player and gives one concrete instruction with match evidence. Mobalytics shows how you compare to other players; Refocus shows which specific behavior is holding you back.

Question 8

Is Refocus safe to use? Does it interact with Riot Vanguard?

Accepted Answer

Refocus is safe to use. It operates exclusively through the official Riot Games API and reads only post-game data that Riot makes publicly available. Refocus does not run during active matches, does not read game memory, does not modify game files, and has no interaction with Riot Vanguard anti-cheat whatsoever.

Question 9

How much does Refocus cost?

Accepted Answer

Refocus has two tiers. Free costs nothing and requires no credit card: it always names the problem, with your daily observation, Player DNA, and a verdict on every match. Elite is 9.99 EUR per month and adds the reasoning behind it — evidence trails, every issue in priority order, your chapter plan, deep match analysis, and unlimited conversation with the coach.

Question 10

Is Refocus available now?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Refocus is live at https://app.goaching.gg/. Connect your Riot account and the coach reads the matches you have already played.

Question 11

How do I get started with Refocus?

Accepted Answer

Create an account at https://app.goaching.gg/ and connect your Riot account. Refocus reads your existing match history immediately, so the first observation does not require playing anything new. The Free plan needs no credit card.

Question 12

What is Agent Intelligence in Refocus?

Accepted Answer

Agent Intelligence scores a player's behavioral performance across each Valorant agent they play and identifies playstyle-agent mismatches. Each agent belongs to a role (Duelist, Controller, Sentinel, Initiator) with associated behavioral expectations. Refocus compares a player's detected behavioral tendencies against what each agent's role requires and flags conflicts.

Question 13

Is Refocus endorsed by Riot Games?

Accepted Answer

No. Refocus is not endorsed by Riot Games and does not reflect the views or opinions of Riot Games or anyone officially involved in producing or managing Riot Games properties. Riot Games and all associated properties are trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot Games, Inc. Refocus operates under Riot's third-party developer program terms.

Question 14

What data does Refocus access?

Accepted Answer

Refocus accesses post-game match data through the official Riot Games API: match history, round-by-round game events, agent selections, ability usage data, and performance metrics that Riot makes available to approved third-party developers. Refocus does not access private account information, payment data, or any data beyond what Riot's public API provides.

Question 15

How does Refocus differ from ChatGPT or general AI tools?

Accepted Answer

General AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) can discuss Valorant strategy in general terms but have no access to a specific player's match history. Any advice they provide is generic. Refocus reads the player's actual match data via the Riot API and produces analysis specific to that player's behavioral record. General AI gives common knowledge; Refocus gives your specific data.
