Valorant Review: A Strong Enough Start

Those seagulls from Finding Nemo were pretty much what chat would have sounded like if you could hear them. The only thing this meme needs now is Dory and Marlin as Valorant beta keys, and it will be compl


Even though Valorant’s system requirements are very low, a lot of players have been facing FPS issues while playing the game. FPS drops have been plaguing the Valorant community since the game’s release, and not much has changed even after the recent updates. Players with high-end gaming rigs are struggling to get decent FPS, especially in gunfights. The game needs more optimization so that players can have smooth gaming experie


In competitive FPS games where you can buy the guns you use, having the right tools in your arsenal can mean the difference between an easy victory or a quick defeat, especially in Valorant , a highly successful game that will come out of beta soon . This is why it is always important to know which weapons are worth your time, and which are not. Even though the type of gun people get comes down to personal preference, there are some that are so much better than the rest, that it might be worth pushing yourself to try different playsty


Odin can be summed up as being the beefed-up version of Ares, as it is simply put Ares, but better. Odin shoots faster and harder, making it a perfect gun to spray and pray with, as it is virtually impossible to miss enemies with it in close to mid-range, especially in tighter areas. The main drawback of Odin is its price, as it costs more than some of the top-ranking guns in the game while lacking their damage output and accur


Getting an Ultimate point from the orb can be very crucial as it reduces the Ultimate’s cooldown. Agents with smoke such as Brimstone, Jett, and Omen can usually easily take control of these Orb sp


A key part of the game is the different Agents present in it. Agents are the player-controlled characters in Valorant Tournaments , each of which possesses unique abilities and attributes. Although all of them bring something unique to the table, not everyone is viable, especially in ranked mode. Agents like Sage and Breach are busted while Jett and Raze are hardly played in the high elo. The roster needs to be more balanced so that every Agent is at least viable in the competitive play. Only a few Agents dominating the meta will lead to imbalance, and the game will essentially only revolve around those powerful Age


The Vandal is the favorite weapon of a lot of Valorant players for various reasons. Although the huge pricetag might drive away some, it more than makes up for it with good accuracy, good rate of fire, and damage that doesn't degrade depending on the distance of your target. This means that player accuracy is rewarded, as headshots with this gun are guaranteed kills, regardless of how far the enemy is or if they're wearing ar


The Phantom can be considered as the big brother of the Spectre, as it takes everything the Spectre offers and turns it up a few notches. Pretty much everything about the Phantom is great - the damage output is big, the rate of fire is fast, and the magazine size allows players to spray bullets at the general direction of enemies for longer. The only downside is that it costs a fair amount of credits, meaning that there is little to no chance you'll be able to afford it in the early rou


There will probably be a defending enemy in Heaven, so talking out the opposing player should be of utmost priority. A Site does have a lot of angles, so it’s recommended to check very corner before proceeding furt


As mentioned before, Split heavily favors the team on the defensive end. Its structural layout makes it very hard for attackers to play aggressively and push onto bomb sites. Players should always keep this in mind when picking an Agent as not every Agent is viable in Sp


B Site requires proper setup before the execution of infiltration. The optimal way to tackle B Site is by using abilities near B Main while simultaneously pushing Mid. Using abilities near B Main will draw a lot of attention, which will result in Mid being more vulnera


Valorant is not a simple shooter. Each gun feels and operates differently, so players have to try out each one—for hours on end—and decide which ones they are most comfortable with. Players who just rush into each game without doing this might miss out on a lot of kills because they are unfamiliar with their weapons. In addition, the game encourages tactics; this is much more than a simple deathma


In the developers’ defence, they are trying to curb this; they allow players to mute others and even report them. However, the community still has more toxic players than it should, and this is something the developers should take more stringent measures to cont


Valorant is one of the most talked-about games recently, and it is still only in the beta. Streamers and professional players alike have been leaving other games to move to this rapidly growing game. Hundreds of thousands of people tuned in to Valorant streamers in hopes of getting a beta key drop. Twitch chats were getting blown up with people typing /drops to increase their chances (though it didn't actually work, of cour
