Memes that fit in 26 columns
Not every chat art is a taunt. This theme collects the ones meant to make a lobby laugh: reactions to a whiff, a strange rotate, a round lost to the clock.
Faces are the hardest thing to draw in a chat box. A cell is either full or empty, there is no grey, and the whole canvas is 26 pixels wide. That is why the pictures here are simple and bold: a round head, two eyes, one detail that makes it a clown, a ghost or a cat.
When a joke helps
Tilt loses more rounds than aim does. A bruh or a ghost after a silly death tells your team you are not angry, and that usually keeps the voice chat alive. Aim the joke at the play, not at the player.
The monkey arts have their own page, and the sharper material lives under toxic.

Questions players ask
What is the 9-3 curse?
A running joke in the Valorant community: the team that leads 9-3 at half time supposedly ends up losing the match. There is no statistical curse, but the meme is strong enough that typing 9-3 in chat makes everyone nervous.
Do pictures work as well as letters in chat?
Yes, as long as each row is exactly 26 characters wide. Pictures here are drawn on a 26 by 26 pixel grid and converted to half blocks, so a face or an animal takes at most 13 chat rows.
Can I paste these in team chat?
Yes. Press Enter for team chat instead of Shift+Enter. A joke after a lost round often does more for team morale than a callout nobody asked for.
