    Riot outdid themselves on this one. The agents are very view but how well the mechanics work together makes it fun to play.
    I definitely expect the meta to shift around like in lol but the cs like mechanics make it easy to pick up again for a while after a break.
    Obviously this genre got nothing much new but it still feels fresh enough to be fun and appealing!

    My chat banned for 4 days, because my chat behaviour. What was my fault? No any information.

    I quit Valorant after playing just ONE game. The game is so uninspired, slow and boring. The use of skill is comical and ridiculous.

    The graphical aspect of the game is poor for me the graphical aspect is that it motivates me to play not for 1440p or 4k but rather that it at least looked decent and in a matter of maps it does not finish conversing me.

    Unoriginal and boring. This game is for people who don't mind something they've played before, many times over. It's extremely simplistic, and has no real point to playing it. Games are becoming more complex and beautiful. This game goes there exact opposite direction.

    Pure trash, unplayable and very unoptimized game with constant "Low client fps" "High ping" despite having a decent internet connection (Other games outside SEA server has a pretty stable connection & ping) and a laptop that meets the recommended system requirements. Uninstalled this pure **** trashlorant of a game

    Quite literally, the most boring FPS I've ever had the displeasure of encountering; and on top of that a Root Kit by a company owned by Tencet. This game will never ever be installed on my PC, ever. Riot as a Dev is a no-go from me from now on.

    As someone who've played since beta, game was nowhere near finished release. Random freezes, crashes, DCs happen, and let's not get started on the Vanguard malware. There are only 4 maps and 2 modes which makes it repetitive and tedious when you add the Battle Pass that requires you to play at least 2 hours everyday to finish on top of that.

    Valorant is a mixed bag for me. It’s very fun to play with friends don’t get me wrong, but something about it feels empty. The agents, weapons, and the anti-cheat are all great in my opinion. The sheer amount of ways you can figure out to win the round is really interesting and adds a new spin to the tactical FPS shooter genre, which was a much needed coat of paint.

But the maps are VERY plain and stale. They get old so fast, especially with games that could last up to 21 rounds, and they feel lifeless. You need color, atmosphere, and design to make a great map, but Valorant doesn’t check off any of those boxes. It’s actually kind of pathetic for a developer like Riot to create something so mediocre. Speaking of Riot, why do they have to make their own separate program to play the game on. It’s 2020, either put the damn game on Steam or Epic Games. Also I know this is over now but it was really dumb. The beta. Oh my god I have never seen such an awful way to do a beta. You had to watch twitch streams for ever to get a key. I think it was kind of dumb on a business standpoint because you are deterring people from playing your game. All in all it’s a fun game, but a bland one at that.… Expand

    Such a fresh take on a genre rarely done well. The amount of love put in this game is immense. A large critique of this game is that it’s not a deep as cs, but that’s imo not correct. It has a lower skill floor, but the variety is incredible. Fresh take on the genre

    The game is really a fresh new take on the tactical fps genre. The weapon are solid and the characters are well designed, maps are ok and the game turns out to be really addicting. The only concern is about Vanguard which should not be running 24/7 as you boot up your pc but only when the game launches.

    Valorant has a lot of potential and I do hope it succeeds.
    The game copied features from CSGO and pretty much watered all of them down.
    Movement is slowed down from CSGOs probably to compensate for the tiny maps and how they thought this would help speakers advantage. Spray patterns are lazy, maybe 10-12 bullets of the spray are consistent then just a lazy right left till the end of the    Valorant has a lot of potential and I do hope it succeeds.

    Spray patterns are lazy, maybe 10-12 bullets of the spray are consistent then just a lazy right left till the end of the clip.
    The economy has nothing to it, really basic. Probably due to the fact, all the abilities cost so little so it turns into 1 round save and next full buy.
    Maps. Split feels so claustrophobic, almost like your battling against the map rather than the other team sometimes. The maps are either meh average or bad. They only brought out 4 MAPS... and all pretty poor.
    Abilities. We were told there would be no lethal abilities.. they brought out RAZE that has all lethal abilities... DEVS don't know there own game. They cost 2 little. no character should get abilities for free. When you die you should lose them all. No outplay to some ultimates, just really uncompetitive gameplay.
    The peakers advantage has not been fixed, its in fact really bad.
    The hit detection is really bad also, many clips online about how bad it actually is, this might be a connection issue though and hopefully can be fixed soon.

    The game is not good to watch. The youtube, twitch views have dropped massively... EVEN ON LAUNCH. During twitch rivals it wasn't even number 1 on twitch.. streamers and YouTubers didn't come back... people just didn't like it, competitive team play or ranked was just not fun to watch.

    Nearly all these issues can be worked on and fixed, I do hope the game improves and is a rival to CSGO, cause already we have csgo greatly improve thanks to the potential scare of Valorant.. I am worried that will fade now they release they don't have anything to worry about in its current state.
    I had full intentions of making a team and trying to compete in this game.. I was really disappointed, but maybe my fault for having such high expectations so soon.
    CSGO wasn't good the first year it was out either. So I have hope still but right now very average game.    … Expand

    Valorant es un muy buen juego competitivo pero falla en cuestión de estabilidad del cliente tanto en conexión como una alta variación del ping durante la partida. (Se que el juego apenas salio de beta cerrada la cual pude probar y que poco a poco irán puliendo estos problemas).

    Fuera de eso me encanta el diseño de personajes, escenarios y skins.

    CS go and overwatch mashed together to make this. While it has the best of both worlds combined, hero skills feel unbalanced as some are more impactful than others and the microtransactions are shockingly high priced at a boosted value.

    Valorant has a high-quality and clean release without any problems. The game will definitely please fans of the competitive FPS genre. The eSports potential of the shooter has only become established over time, and the first tournaments are already planned. However, a high entry threshold requires serious skill training. But this only makes the game more interesting.

    Overall, Valorant is a great game to play if you're a fan of first-person shooter strategy games. But it is also something that someone without experience with games like CS:GO can enjoy and pick up quickly. The Agents are, for the most part, balanced, and the planned addition of more should keep the game fresh. The overall style doesn't really land and the sound design needs to be fixed.
