League of Overwatch (Valorant) - Beta

I can‘t believe they‘re actually copying CS‘ clunky 20 year old gunplay in this day and age.

this feels so safe and bland
like prepared for the chinese market

More like CS:1.6 warcraft mode.

My only concern is the game balance. We all know Riot when it comes to the history of bad balance League of Legends has had.

I too am hyped for shooting through walls, insane spraying and getting 1 shot by a handgun bullet to the knee after unloading a whole magazine on a guy at point blank with no effect.

it's gonna crash and burn
or better
it will cost more than it earns, but they will keep supporting it in the hopes it will start to turn a profit

It's Riot. They outsource to god-tier cinematic studios and then ask them to make cheap mobile game shit like in OP's pic.

Not sure what's their target audience is. Those that play CSGO would never leave it for a game this bad. Overwatch kiddies have left long time ago, the only autists that still play that game will never stop playing it at this point. I suppose they could get people who are still playing on 2005 machines but how many of those are still left around?

>bullets go the way you are aiming
Your game is now better than csgo

>Chink game
Nope, not at all. The good side is that they finally are using the fucking IP potential after being lazy faggot for how long? A decade?

lemme just get the fighting game please

No. Hiding the thread.

>didn't even use League characters
DOA

>build entire world of cultures and characters and boostrapped lore
>until the last two years it's been tied to a dried up desicated corpse of a MOBA that nobody has any fun playing
>all the spinoffs are gonna crash and burn because league is such a fucking anchor

Kinda feels bad man but also fuck Riot.

Don't be; they began to lost money and their Chinese overlords smacked in the head and put them to work.

>abilities and cooldown shit
There's a reason why CSGO and Fortnite are at the top.

>no jinx
>no akali
>no ahri
>no qiyana
>no sona
>no new models for blender porn
what's the fucking point?

Because that's what it is

Not really, I was expecting OW killer or maybe even something closer to Paragon/Smite but it's nothing like that.

Also, artstyle is extremely bland. Clean visuals don't need to look like a cheap mobile game.

And to compensate for that, they will add shields and shields

You conveniently left out LoL in your post.

that's not a shooter

What kind of retarded name is Valorant?

This is a shooter game they should use shit like Agents of X or Operators of X

>the only way to get a beta invite is to make a twitch account and watch approved streamers

fuck this shit

Why didn't they just make an FPS with league characters?

They are making a fighting game with LoL characters, it will suck dick most likely.

Because maybe 5 of their characters use guns, some other 15 use ranged weapons, half of them are literally melee dudes and the others throw magic projectiles from their hands

FPS games are trash.

This game will fail because it's putting streaming before gaming. Say what you want about Fortnite, it was satisfying to play right off the bat and remained consistently so. Valorant just looks robotic. Even Rogue Company looks like it has more soul.

retards ITT, abilities can work in a CS style game if done correctly, i've heard nothing but good things from the CS pros that have actually played it, all the naysayers havent touched the thing

Play first person fighting games

Literally every single flop out there has paid shills saying it's the best thing ever

To be fair, Apex Legends did really well in the beginning, it just didn't have enough content overall. If the cooldowns don't define the firefight it can work.

any source that they're paid?

This doesn't even look like CS, this looks more like the countless early 2000's rip-offs.

oh gee willikers yet another slow paced hero *shooter* game with a 'unique' art-style and crappy hero abilities that have very little impact on the gameplay
cant wait to play it with a bunch of faggoty fucking teammates who will take such a joke of a game far too seriously because their favourite streamer or youtuber is being paid by Riot to shill their shitty game as the next big e-sports title
also cant wait to get banned for typing 'ggwp' in chat after a match

Isn't their stupid card game a failure, too? I remember trying it and getting bored to death. It was so bad, I had more fun playing the boardgame in Bannerlord, jeeeeeez.

>chink competetive trash
ill pass

Fortnite is only satisfying until you realize that you have to spawn constructions like a spastic retard to achieve anything. Fuck that game.

It literally looks like Counter-strike for 12 year olds. Jesus, what has gaming come to?

the fact that they're playing it in the first place is a clue
they're desperate to give this game a strong start. probably more so now after runeterra has become irrelevant at this point.

Low IQ detected

Balance is league is fluid, but not always for the best.
Irelia, Aatrox, Akali... even fucking Galio have all been kneecapped at somepoint.

kung flu chink detected

But if you're paid you're legally required to disclose that when promoting something, are riot and all these players just breaking the law?

Source as proof? None. Conviction about it? 100% percent.

thats exactly what it is.
riot games is an extremely creatively bankrupt company cover its ass by trying to design for casuals. all of their side projects will be failures and they look like failures so far.

Yes, I'm excited for it. CS is a 21 year old game, people are tired of it/don't want to put in thousands of hours to not even be in the like top 20% of the best players. Valorant is new (yes CS players will have advantage) so it's a good starting point for a lot of gamers. I also think abilities in a cs style game has potential. Now let me in!

No leauge characters.its a different game.

They don't need to be paid shit. Many are hoping for their opportunity to become the new big streamer in the new big game

All those who have negative views are told to shut up and don't leak shit until it's done so you'll never hear dissenting opinions. Only those who liked it or have a vested interest in it's success

Same shit happened with Artifact and basically ever multiplayer game released now

Valoran is the name of the continent League of Legends takes place in.

they don't necessarily have to be payed to advertise the game, just pay them to come play the game. the streamers are incentivized to give positive feedback so they can do sponsored streams in the future.

oh so they aren't paid shills.

The streamers getting paid to promote it is so obvious it's disgusting.
It's a valid form of marketing and I didn't mind about it with Apex Legends they were playing the game and nothing more, but all these twitts, artificial hype and over-praising for a game that's not even out of beta yet turns me off and makes me not want to touch it.

They are, they just got paid in "exposure"

I hardly think the biggest streamers on twitch need exposure from riot

yep

Why do you think they are inviting streamers to play it instead of pros? Dumbass.
Wait until you see #ad and #sponsored all over the place.

They're probably looking to expand their audience beyond the people who already like league and it's champions.
Maybe we'll still get one... some day.

They're paid by doing it for FREE

i'll play it like many here in my thirdworld country

The card game is still in beta. It's not even finished yet.

Fucking shills are not even trying anymore

Visually it looks like shit, I feel like they are tying everything to Twitch to get a massive audience quick and keep hold rather than TFT and Runeterra which plateaued hard.

If they ever do make one i just hope they dont go full retard like blizzard did with OW.

>completely free, months long, open """beta""" with a fully functioning store

Streamers always need to keep driving the bandwagon, it's a fickle career and you can lose your popularity really fast

>implying this shit is anything new

I'll give it a shot. It visually looks like a retarded version of Counter-strike but hey, I can respect gameplay over graphics.

looks shit. mascotboy is a nigger. graphics worse than overwatch/csgo who are so much older. gameplay looks terrible and unbalanced. caters to streamers and will probably require you to watch streamers to get rewards in game.
