A lot of my valorant friends switched since the new agent. Is this a temporary thing kr more people would leave? It sucks playing valorant solo queue ngl

Tbf I'd prefer getting shit on by cheaters 24/7 than deal with the people in ranked

Tbh you'll do that in both games no matter what at least they don't have braindead reyna players in cs so that makes it feel better

Both are buns but at least it feels less winnable vs cheaters these bums must be magicians with how they turn free wins into 16-14 games

Because cs2 is better, valorant players are realising the harsh truth

its harder in direct gun fights but you dont have sliding neons, 15 pieces of util to shoot and a waylay dashing in slowing you, you just stare at your crosshair and shoot

cs hitreg and first shot inaccuracy is the most tilting thing ever

just not true, the thing i hate the most in cs is the shooting.

Only reason i play val over cs is bc val's shooting mechanics are 10x better

i play both cs2 and val
val hitreg feels much more consistent and accurate to me than cs2 hitreg
cs2 movement feels like im skating on ice i never liked it

valorant solo queue is one of the most miserable experiences ever tbh
cs2 is more fun for soloqueue because its less team reliant and your game agency is higher as an individual player
for example, in valorant if your controller is full boosted and drops the worst smokes ever, its not like you can buy smoke nades and throw your own smokes
you just gotta suck it up and get dragged down by some shitter
same with throwers and afks
if any role in valorant goes afk or starts throwing you lose a big chunk of game options

Same with cs2 tho no? People could be afk or like throw and you have like a higher chance to lose

if you just shoot more people the overall gameplay isn't really affected, since everyone has the exact same utility
if your initiator, space creator, or controller disappear in valorant you lose a lot more
since valorant util is so much stronger and unique to agents, losing a full roles worth of unique utility just cuts out 1/4 of the game's intended gameplay options

That’s fair. Do you think riot could turn this around for val?

valorant ranked is dreadfully bad and has been so for over a year. i think people are just tired of it now, and aren’t tolerating it as much

cs2 reached it's peak player count only one year ago in april and it's current average daily players is higher than the peak player count in 2016 and 2021 (years often considered as peak csgo due to Operation wildfire and riptide and just how good the state of the game was in general). even though the graph is going up and down short term it's still trending upwards long term and cs2 is getting more popular as time goes on. CS2 isn't suddenly growing again.

cs2 market is unregulated and any update at any time can effect it. I personnaly just buy skins i like for the sake of having them because at the end of the day investing in cs skins is just gambling. I don't personnaly recommend investing in cs2 knives, if your going to get one, get it because you want to use it.
pls think of it as gambling and dont spend any money you aren't willing to loose.
I have a classic knife vanilla in cs, not as an investment, but because i like it. and if it goes up because the game gets way more popular then thats great for me ig.

Unregulated? Didn’t they just add the xray scanners for cases in some countries and stuff? I wonder if they’d become like val where you can’t trade skins and in game items

i started playing valorant again during this act after almost 3 years. In latam at least (lower ranks where's the majority of people) people just seems tired of it, they are playing like zombies, speak (if they happens to do it) like their having the worst time of the day, go afk, disconnect after losing a pistol, eco or a bonus, complain or whine about "cheaters" or people who's better than them.

I know some years have passed, but seems changes and the state of the game has taken it's toll on people. Idk how much the game changed during this years because i stopped playing when Deadlock was announced (not even released), and for me this it just have more variables (agents) and stuff to learn.
