The game is down! It became impossible to play it.
I've been playing this garbage since CBT. So I have no experience whatsoever.
Pros of this game:
-Skins (donated), normal price, and finishing moves in general, sound, reload animations, much better than in cs.
-Beautiful presentation of agents, cards. Well, the Riots never had any problems with this, just like with cinematics.
-Tick rate is better than in CS. And sometimes it malfunctions, and shots to the body simply don’t count. But this happens extremely rarely. So I’ll still take this as a plus.
That's it, that's where the pros end, and now the cons:
-Cheaters.
Like all shooters there are cheaters, and every day there are more and more of them. If earlier chitak were encountered extremely rarely or not at all, now in every third game one comes across a chitak. And don't even tell me it's not true. I've played 4k hours and I know what I'm talking about. And by the way, anti-cheat parasha! So don’t listen to the downs who say that Valorante has the best anti cheat. It's all a lie.
-Smurfs.
There are a lot of Smurfs in this game. The game itself is teeming with them. Is it really difficult to ban such players? Take an example from Dota. For boosting accounts and smurfing you get a ban. I’ll give you advice, if you see a player with the nickname “I miss her”, and he himself has a lvl 3-10 account - just calmly leave the game. After all, this Tenza larva will fuck you in the tail and mane, and you will be left with an unpleasant aftertaste of feces in your mouth.
-Lack of card selection.
I'm tired of playing 3 maps all day. The same cards fall out. Tired is putting it mildly. Where are the rest of the cards? Why can't I decide for myself which map to play on? Someone will say: “Oh, you’re not fumbling, this is for balance,” go to the stump. In any shooter you can choose maps, and this does not affect the balance. But in this parasha there is no such opportunity. And for me this is a big minus. Playing on the same map is torture, well, for me personally. Interest in the game immediately disappears.
-Toxins in every game.
To be honest, I thought that no one could surpass Dota in terms of the number of toxics. Yeah, how...I was very wrong. There will always be some kind of cyber cutlet teaching you how to play, even if you are a radiant, and he barely raised gold 1. And if you do something wrong (in his opinion) everything, you will find out who your parents are and who you are. In every micro game they burp, sing, and just talk about their own things. According to the info, 0.
And how is it possible to win the game with such teammates? Maybe. You just stir it up and that’s it, and play without stress. However, you are not Skrim to solo every roll and round. Minus rating.
-Wrong selection of players.
Speaking of ratings. Have you ever heard about the fair ranking system in Valorant? So I don't. When I had the rank of silver 2, people of gold 3 and platinum 1 played against me. Fair enough... My friend and I barely rose to diamond 2, but as they say, “the further into the forest, the more firewood.” Immortals and radiants come across me. And I lost my rating to gold 2, and that was the last straw. You have a team of downs, and e-sportsmen are against you. Your duelist cannot shoot 5 kills, but Rhine’s opponents with a score of 40 - 0 - 20.
-Battle pass skins.
Yes, I spoke very positively about donated skins. But the battle pass skins are fucked up. I would even say “combat launch skins”. They are simply terrible in this game. It seems to me that if I puked on the ground it would be much more beautiful.
-Game for lakers and rats.
It doesn’t matter how much you push your aim. Valorant is a game for rats and lackers. You'll shoot with burst or tapping, but you won't hit one damn thing. And the people are on the pref and will kill you on the run like a madman. Rats also have their downsides. Playing from the flank is everything for them. I understand that there are agents whose entire game is essentially tied to flanking and going around on the other side, but how infuriating it is.
I could also write a bunch of minuses, but these are the most important. It was only because of these disadvantages that I abandoned this under-game.
It's up to you to decide whether to play it or not, but if I were you, I simply wouldn't pay attention to this shooter.
Still, if you have nerves of steel and decide to play this piece of crap, I’ll give you some advice:
1. Always play with a friend. Especially the rating. Dragging solo is very difficult.
2. Select a main and play only on him.
3. Lineups and setups - you can immediately flush them down the toilet. They either get fixed or don’t always work. Good luck discarding the line-up for a viper or a Brimstone if you are playing 1 vs 3.
4. Give us information all the time, don’t be like a monkey who only knows how to yell and squeak in voice chat.
5. Don’t donate to Valorant. I noticed this topic. The more money you poured into it, the more smurfs, cheaters and Tim degrods you came across who only knew how to shit in voice chat: “Give me skin vendal please”
6. If you don’t have normal devices: a mouse, a headset, and a monitor though would be with 144 Hz. Just don't play this game. People with expensive devices will obviously outplay you.
And the most important advice:
DO NOT PLAY THIS PARASH. It’s better to buy yourself a premium version of CS and play there. Valorant will no longer be the same as it was before. It used to be fun and interesting to play. Nowadays, playing in Valorant is torture. Maybe this is my personal opinion and it does not coincide with yours, but this is MY review of the game. And unlike other players, I:
-Played more than 4k hours.
-I managed to see everything.
-Explained all the disadvantages in a reasoned manner. And didn't just write "Shit for Downs."
In general, I have everything. I hope that the Riots will take on this game someday, and make it a piece of candy that you will want to come back and play, and not vomit and smash the keyboard to smithereens.
Therefore, I give this game a 3, and even then it’s a stretch.
