It's a fun game but, requires you to be good to actually enjoy it. I never played CS:GO so I had a hard time adjusting because my last FPS I played before was R6 and I stopped playing it 1 year before I started playing Valorant.
But honestly this game requires good map knowledge and lots of experience, like you need to take in alot of things that people can do because this game is way more flexible that CS:GO looks to be just because it's a "tactical hero shooter". By that I mean unlike CS:GO you don't have to practice on hours end getting smokes and flash line ups to some people this means you're getting skilled at the game. Which I agree with but Valorant just baby modes it and makes it alot flexible and easier to pull off but in less orthodox ways.
To be honest I think it's hard to enjoy this game because it's extremely reliant on your teammates being good or having a good mental because unless you're cracked out of your mind, you won't be playing with great players and sometimes there's just players who just won't talk or communicate which is an important thing in "tac shooters" in general. And like I said before I did not have a CS:GO background so getting into this game was a little hard. I at least had a friend who helped me out when I learned but for the most parts I watched guides.
Another annoying thing is, random spray patterns, walking headshots and all that dumb bs. Like imagine you're holding an area that has a doorway. And you've been looking at it for so long yet for some reason you'll see players just run and gun you because of riots random spray patterns. But honestly these are things that riot will hopefully fix, the game is still new and has time to fix these things.
But it's still unacceptable to sell in game cosmetics for such a steep price, like wow that dragon skin line looks okay but like it is not worth $100, also I'm just going to call this out because the way riots Valorant team are making these skins actually change the gun model, eventually riot will release a cool looking skin but it will somehow give an actual edge to gameplay. I don't know how they'll do it but I feel like that's something's that gonna happen. Also these weapon upgrades using "radianite points" is complete bullshit but it's a good excuse to grinding this game but that also is pretty annoying because, I paid for this $100 skin set that isn't even that great and now I have to play 100 hours of this game or get half of the effects that I can get from it. Like now that's just straight up a trashy to do skin sets, like if you really wanted to do that at least when we're paying the same price as a collector's version of a game, give us some of your "radianite points" as well. Some people don't just wanna grind this game out for hours on end. Because at some point it just doesn't become fun at all.
Tldr; If someone kills you, they're just better.
