Valorant Fixed Everything Wrong with Counter-Strike

CS:GO has flaws, poor server quality in Matchmaking, cheaters, and some random elements that hurt gameplay. To compete with Counter-Strike, Valorant fixed a lot of the problems by innovating the genre, which is ONLY GOOD for people who like tactical shooters, even if you prefer CS:GO or Rainbow Six: Siege.

Also, while the skins are pricy and unsellable, they are still cheaper. I have a knife in valorant. I spent 10 dollars for a battlepass. Additionally, I like the graphics better and everything about what it does better is true.

Valorant is polished. They have improved on almost every factor that is shared with Counter Strike (except maybe the rng sprays and the dumbed down source movement). Especially at the beginning where people hadn't learned how to deal with abilities properly yet, it was extremely refreshing to play, cause a shot in the head would actually land in the head. Fast forward a year though, Valorant seems to have a lot larger focus on abilities and agent metas than it used to. This just isn't that fun to me, and I suspect the same to be true for many other people. So now we're stuck between a game that at it's core gameplay level is amazing and smart and fun to play, but has a company behind it that doesn't give a shit about their game, and on the other side a game that is (for many people) flawed in its gameplay concept, but improves in the mechanics drastically, and has a very passionate, active and communicative dev team behind it.

Contrary to many of the opinoins of some CS and Valorant fans, it just comes down to taste, not that one game is better than the others. Some people like the aspects brought in byu Valo being a character shooter, and some people like the aspects brought in by CS being on the more realistic side of things.

You have to learn what each character does and learn how to play at least a few of them effectively and learn when and where it is best to use their utility. You still have to learn a variety of lineups for certain characters which are essential for playing that character but here, no character shares the same lineups. You also have to learn to be mindful of every character's abilities and react to the agents the opposing team chooses, which can affect the angles you hold, what you use your utility on, what sites you put players on, etc. And there are a number more things that you have to worry about in Valorant that just don't exist in CSGO.

I suppose more than anything I just like being able to hop in to a competitive game of valorant (with a better feeling sightly shorter match time) from the game itself rather than being forced to play on Faceit to get an even somewhat tolerable experience on csgo. I like both games. They're not that different fundamentally and I don't think valorants gunplay is really noticeably worse, it just feels a bit different and feels like it wants you to tap more rather than go for sprays in csgo. And as I can't dedicated 3+ hours a day to games these days and also enjoy playing other stuff from time to time, not having to relearn a dozen smoke lineups and other stuff like that is something I don't mind at all.

I'd say that a good comparison between the 2 games is that Valorant is Apple and CS:GO is Linux. Valorant has a lot of polish and is very easy to pick up and play, but it lacks deeper customisation and community content. Cs:go is not as pretty or modern as Valo, and it has a bunch of difficult to grasp mechanics, but it's a much more precise game in terms of gameplay, and is extremely customizable through the console, community maps, skins, servers, etc.

Great video! The last part also sums up really well about how I feel about these tac-shooters, with how each one does its own thing better than the other while introducing their own problems, yet we can't have a perfect mix of all. I just wish you went a bit deeper on why Valve should introduce a higher tickrate on official servers because while it is technically better than 64, a sizeable portion of the playerbase accross the globe would not be able to take advantage or even handle the increased stream of data, at least according to Valve Dev John McDonald. Hell, even Valorant only has an Update Rate of 73. However, Premier should definately be 128 tick to make true competitive Counter-Strike even more accessible than having to go through the hassle of playing on third party servers, and they should definitely fix some of the weirdness and inconsistencies that occur when playing the game at a higher tickrate, such as the different grenade jump throw trajectories, slightly faster recoil recovery rate, etc. Anyway, fantastic analysis and video :)

The only point I really disagree with you on is the spawning/chokepoints arguement. Yes, random spawns aren't great, but I definitely don't think Valorant's system is the way to go. Dumbing down the initial engagement into essentially a randomised 1v1 arena is tactically devoid and boring. The majority of a csgo round is the build up. It's the suspense of not knowing whether they're just around the corner. It's tactically gaining as much information as you can before the engagement to maximise your odds. There's a story unfolding in every round, and it's very exciting to see. With Valorant, I feel like the round just throws you in and it's almost over right as it starts. So many 'CT' rounds in Valorant was just "3,2,1, GO ....... they're not here, better rotate" and by the time I've trudged my way across the horribly designed maps, it's just retaking. I feel like there's no tactics, no build up, no suspense, and no story. Set spawn points in cs would probably be better, if it's current system is a problem, but I personally don't think it is.

[@goldenoodles6281]

try watching just a few rounds, maybe 6 rounds of a pro tourney. Just like in CS, most of the time (if ppl have brains) they have to get info, bait enemies into thinking something, and have multiple strats per match. Sure if you're in lower ranks, im pretty sure everyone's rushing one site. But you don't win by rushing. You have to find info, cut noise, bait a site, etc. I do think that there are really boring matches, but there are also really hype matches in valorant. In CS, pretty much every match you can expect to be pretty fun and some spikes, but in valorant, it's both boring and stupidly exciting sometimes. There are some moments that I wouldn't never think of in CS, same for CS to val.

If valve changes the spawns in counter strike to how they are in valorant I will quit playing, I've played csgo since it came out.

We should get another counterstrike game. CSGO came out in 2012 and you can't expect valve to never make another counterstrike game for the sake of your skins.

no

I legit think players would riot if Valve released another CS. Or at least refuse to move on.

[@gagekellstrom3978]

well I mean. I can expect that. they updated DOTA 2 to Source 2, and TF2 has been TF2 since 2006. CSGO can easily remain CSGO, all it needs is to be updated continuously. not even rebalances or whatnot, just give operations, content, new maps to try, and maybe community stuff like redbull flick esc tourneys. and if its ported to source 2 (like how panorama currently is) then we can absolutely see another 10-20 years of the game.

@@gagekellstrom3978 The problem with a game like CSGO is that its been so long in the scene that players just cant leave it. CSGO has players who played the game as a teen and now they are adults for whom the game is a part of their childhood. If valve released another CS, it would be just like CSGO being released at the time of 1.6 and Source.

@@CanniBal634 Why? it's ludicrous to expect valve to never ever make a new counterstrike game.

Edgy Gura said that Valorant is the anime reskin of CSGO That's hilarious tho 🤣🤣

[@franciscourrutia599]

They are also inovating in maps layouts, with maps that are not the clasic 4 squares layout, like Haven with 3 sites or Fracture where the Terrorists spawn in the middle

[@micinlover7244]

it's the ct that's spawn in the middle
