What's the deal with Valorant?
Is it just CS:GO with soi-artstyle and gimmicks, or the next big thing for competitive fps?

Are there female characters with bare feet?

It's a cash grab from a company run by chinks.
Parker Miller
It will never cease to amaze me what type of shit nuPC gamers will eat en masse
David Butler
isnt that the latest casual clone by riot? seems like a good business model, find a popular game and make an easy to play ripoff and sell a ton of the content.
Ryan Morales
Here's how it works
>make a game that any retarded monkey can play
>pay streamers to play it
>zoomers start playing said game because their favorite streamer is playing it
>enjoy your artificial hype
EA did it with apex legends, now tencent is doing it with valorant.
Luis Foster
The anticheat is a rootkit, tencent has backdoor access to your computer now
Aiden Collins
Looks to be the next big thing. CS:GO didn't even make the list.
Austin Bailey
I hope valve sue them and this chink knockoff.
Its the typical chink knockoff as well, 1 to 1 copy of something then they spam bright color everywhere trying to hide how exactly the same it is.

>give initial beta keys to big streamers
>only way for anyone else to get a key is to watch streamers play
>OUR GAME IS SO LIT RN, WE HAVE THE BIGGEST NUMBERS ON TWITCH HURR HURR
Have to respect the hustle though, it's pretty good marketing.
Justin Peterson
whao dude I can't believe it. the company well known for putting huge bountys on playing their games on twitch has a lot of people playing their games on twitch? how do they do it
Lucas Sanders
alright guys so dead by daylight is pretty popular, so we're gonna make it have a low poly cartoon artstyle, and you pick heroes with cooldown magic abilities. pay some streamers and we have a hit
Nathan Robinson
I could 100% see them doing that, they already have their hearthstone, csgo, dota and auto chess knock offs
Hunter Parker
Are you actually retarded? They lure people in with the promise of potential beta access. Of course those numbers are inflated as fuck. Most of those people have their streams muted in the background and don't even actively watch that shitshow.
Gavin Russell
they're giving the game away for free if you watch the stream
its like trying to judge overwatch's current popularity based on the streams that they give out wacky OW funbucks for watching
i'm not saying this shit won't take off but this is a painfully disingenuous way of measuring and i'm sure the entire concept is designed just for this bullet point to be used in marketing
Justin Morales
>ripping of an asymmetrical multiplayer game
Not how it works. The game you're cloning has to be simple. Look at overwatch. Anyone can wrap their head around point and shoot while sometimes hitting E, Q, and shift.

That's what I do for warframe drops, unless my wife rebecca's on screen. I always watch when my wife is on.
Landon Myers
The game looks boring like CS. Why even bother having superheroes if the gameplay is just CS.
Aaron Ross
overwatch probably has a lot of depth at high level
Adam Wilson
I mean Realm Royal was a hit on Twitch at one point but that didnt mean that game is successful
its just people afking streams to get keys
Nolan Peterson
Something isn't sitting with me on that face, her eyes look pretty shitty
Mason Barnes
Reminder that the game installs a rootkit on your C: drive

So you can have players use special powers to throw out objects that bock vision. Does CSGO have anything players can throw out on the ground that blocks vision? Didn't think so. Only seasoned devs well versed in the esports scene would be able to put such a sutble twist on the age old shooter formula that changes gameplay so much.
I mean, just think of it; the enemy team has a clear view down a chokepoint. In any other shooter, you'd have no choice but to run into the meat grinder. Not so in valorant. Here you can use one of a myriad of powers to throw out an orb or wall that blocks the enemy teams view. Amazing.
Jason Williams
NOOO CSGO WILL NEVER DIE
Liam Richardson
Realm Royale is an awful example because it's a HiRez fault it failed. It seriously had a chance to become a next big thing, but they fucked it up with their shitty balancing and lack of vision.
Robert Murphy
That's right! When you fuck with Gaben, you fuck with gamers!
Jordan Morris
cs go doesn't have enough cooldown timers to be popular anymore, sorry
Jayden Morales
it has enough skins from lootboxes however :)
Joshua Bailey
They're called Asians.

I think that was the main idea, a CSGO but as a hero shooter.
Why do people insist counter strike is so much more high skilled compared to "realistic" shooters. The only thing I heard get brought up is recoil predictable it that really just it?
Kevin Allen
Trash mobile game that just gains admin access to your pc
Anthony Sullivan
Valorant is a chink malware. Do not install

>But... But those are just measures to stop hacks once for all!!

It already has hacks. It doesn't stop hackers, it only allows tencent to monitor you
Daniel Sanchez
I'm just here for the pornography.
David Evans
You can say the same about Riot when it comes to being a shitty dev
Jaxson Collins
Bet me to it
