What's the point of smoke grenades? What are they used for? I understand flashes but smokes?

>spray patterns

cringe

play a real shooter like tarkov

Denying line of sight, but really all it does is prolong the game. At best stealth defusing

Sorry, user, but I think you might just be bad then??

>learn smokes for the maps you play
>smoke off area where awp is

why is this so hard?

Suck the shit out of my ass loser, that's fucking retarded

Samefag

90% of the maps have multiple angles to watch the same area, so it's not really feasible outside of a coordinated teams

just throw a fucking smoke jesus christ. or hell just throw a flash behind you facing the awp and just push. or push together so you can trade 1 for 1. this thread is retarded

a standard map layout is 2/1/2. if one person is awping and you are pushing with ur team getting 2v5'd is your guy's entire fault. alternatively you can set up roamers to push from different angles before even giving away that you are pushing either sites. just admit you don't play this game.

Not really though? Yeah there may be an alternative angle for a given spot, but theres typically only 1 spot an awper can watch from from any given point thats viable for them. And if they are in an off angle, chances are they will get cleaned up because off angles typically have multiple points from which you can be cleared from since it's not in cover.

The awp is the first weapon new players encounter with the "seemingly no way to defeat it" excuse.

B-hop across their LOS and pop them in the head.

Absolutely destroyed, will never recover, rip

calm down retard, Ts are always at a disadvantage

the auto snipers mop the floor with it

how long is your team just standing in one spot to allow for a rotation, and why is nobody watching the flank if you're all just standing there?

that is entirely not true and is completely map dependent.

No joke, whenever I use it for an extend period of time, my teammates fucking vote kick me.

>how long is your team just standing in one spot to allow for a rotation
Judging by the average comp game, long enough to all die

You can still see them, and why are you trying to midfight something which has been smoked? If you're trying to get to short, you can literally crouch under and the awper can't see you even if standing back.

>90% of the weapons are useless

Why is this a thing? No wonder this game is dying like League. Not even Shroud plays this shit anymore

I will now list all the ways you can counter the AWP by yourself without any help

Why are people okay with sniper rifles that 1-shot everywhere with near perfect accuracy, but everyone hates shotguns which do the same thing but only up close and not consistently?

>this game is dying
>exact same gameplay has almost 20 years
really? every game dies at some point

no

*flashbang*
jiggle peek
*another flash*

You run to short, crouch under the very small window the awper can actually see above the smoke on short, and continue running.

because tactics
what if two people rush into you? now you're at a disadvantage

amazing how one weapon can make shitters seethe through 3 different installations in the series

>awping A site on mirage
>enemy team executes perfect smoke push onto site
>blind fire into smoke and kill their best player
even if you do everything perfectly there's still a chance an AWP is just going to shitwreck you anyway

Awp costs more, is only properly viable from a few spots per map, higher skill ceiling.

ok r*ddit

simulates real life recoil but removes the rng associated with other games like cod where it just throws bullets randomly so it is a bit more skill based

not waiting out the obviously awp through the smoke is their fault though. they didn't do everything perfectly cause any average player knows people shoot through the smoke.

Doesn't that case apply to a shotgun too? Either it shoots slow enough that a 2v1 will fuck you up anyway, or it's fast enough that it probably won't 1-shot them unless you're point blank.

Getting lucky with a gun doesn't make the gun inherently stronger. You could have also sprayed the smoke with ak/m4 and done the same thing.

>simulates real life recoil
"no"

t. hasguns

thanks bro
u too

Eternally OP AWP and having to learn smokes are the things that will make Valorant overtake CS for most people

*shoots you through smoke*

>real life
>point gun at ground and shoot at the sky
nigga what

because it gives depth to the gameplay while also not making it entirely rng.
