ok, this is kind of a rant so read it fully before commenting
so, i was watching the KC vc TH game and some of these moments are so bizzare that made me realise how bad it is for the game...
first of all, KC's player holding with judge in smoke and woot jumping-classic him jumping through smoke, one right click mid air, THIS SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE, SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD BE 1/10000 MOMENT, not 1/50, I swear to god, these are the type of things that kill the game,
anyone who watches CS or watched CS games, scan your memories and try to remember something like that happening in any CS game, someone jumping glocked someone one tapped a guy, going thru smoke
cant find the memory right? because it dont exist, or it happened so lil times that you cant even remember,
I saw in another game, cant remember which one specifically, that a guy one tapped being waylay slowed , mid air, from 20 meter range, LIKE HOW, that SHOULDNT BE POSSIBLEEE, oh my days im gonna crash out, like once again try to remember something like that happening in cs, cant right? because they designed it that way.
the intention of this genre is to create a game where teams can reduce luck intervention in your decision making to almost 0%, thats why people watch this genre games (cs and valorant) more than other genre, like Overwatch, LOL, and others, CAUSE THE GAME IS DESIGNED TO BE SKILL BASED.
another thing thats bad is that not the need of counter strafing, meaning the skill ceiling comes down to so low, anyone can kill anyone, a guy who plactices 10hr a day can lose to a guy who plays 2 hrs a day, another thing that player motivation, leading to ultimately killing the game, maybe not now, but definately 3 yrs later, 5 yrs later, etc. there is a reason why CS became so legendary, and if valorant wanna follow in its path, it wont be like this
but making these moments possible in valorant, while being entertaining and funny to watch, being potential of going more viral on social media, THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT KILL THE GAME, slowly, but they do .
I have been playing since yoru released, I am immo 3, peak radiant and trust me when i say this, I get one tapped, full running, from a vandal or deagle ON THE DAILY, AGAIN, IT SHOULDNT BE LIKE THIS, when stuff like this happens so common, my will to compete, my will to lock in and win the games, my will to try my hardest to win has gone down so much these past few years.
now some people might say, 'bro, its not that deep', to them I only say one thing, Its might not be deep for you, but It is for me.
