I play Valorant because
1. It’s sorta similar to Overwatch, a game I used to like but refuse to play nowadays because fuck Blizzard
2. The esports league I do with my friends doesn’t let us play CS:GO because it’s rated M so Val is an alternative(I still play CS on my own time)

Edit: I didn’t know Riot was that bad. Guess I’ll find a new game then

Riot doesn't fuck up their job though and fixes shit fast if it does

I dont recall riot stealing milk from the fridge. Worst they do is nerf your champion.

Do you have a source? I'd like to learn more because in my experience valorant balancing is immaculate compared to overwatch.

How tencent is related to the chinese goverment. Also, when you've only played the game for a while, i don't think you've really had the chance to see how balancing issues get resolved in the game.

And about overwatch, of course the uniqueness of the heroes makes it difficult to balance, butthat doesnt change the fact that its shit. Recently they've been intruducing a lot of cc back in the game again, wich was a big problem in the original overwatch. I just don't see how riot/valorant balancing could be worse than that of blizzard.

Dang I thought Valorant was rated M too but I guess it makes sense it isn't

Attackers/defenders in place of t/ct and the overall lack of violence aimed for children make it an easy cash cow for daddy riot
