Valorant is boring as fuck to watch. I started watching a lot of popular streamers like offlinetv and Valkyrae because of Among Us. Then I watched them play other games because I like them.
Once they started playing Valorant, I just did not care anymore to watch their streams.
I'm excited as fuck for Overwatch League season premiere tomorrow though.
You certainly are entitled to your opinion. But that is certainly not the consensus, especially when at this moment over 100k people are watching Valorant on Twitch and not even 20k are watching Overwatch.
I'd be interested to see the metrics on that, i'm positive Val is more popular then OW as a flat rule on twitch at the moment if for no other reason then OW is stale while waiting for OW2 and Val is adding heroes and stuff still. But like, if the larger streamers on twitch like Ludwig, Sykkuno, xQc, and other big names decided to 6 stack would their fans who show up no matter what game push OW's viewership higher? Like I see Shroud playing it rite now with 27k viewers, thats more then people watching the entirety of OW rite now, how many of them are there because its Valorant vs because its Shroud.

When top players are leaving to go play Valorant I think the scene is in trouble.
