Whether or not the new characters and world of Valorant will be a part of a grand and expanding world like League of Legend s ‘ characters are is not yet clear, although it is clear that Riot does not intend to stop creating new lore for League . Plans are still going forward in the development of Tales of Runeterra , the lore expanding video series, and other games in the League universe will no doubt be following Valora
Phoenix – A zone control character who manipulates flame. He can throw fireballs that explode in an area or create a wall of damaging flames. His signature move is a curving flash grenade, and his ultimate lets him mark his location and teleport back there on de
Each map shown thus far has unique angles of approach and great map flow that separates itself from tri-lane map design that is commonplace in most FPS titles today . While having solid maps is key to a great competitive scene, starting with 4 might bore even the most devoted of players unless Riot can release more post-launch promp
Each agent has their own set of abilities that can make the game truly interesting. No doubt there will be compositions of certain agents that will turn out to be meta at some point in the future. While some abilities must be bought at the beginning of the game, other signature abilities and ultimates don’t need to
And Jett – Perhaps the most mobile of the characters. She can toss out a sphere of obscuring fog and also launch herself upwards to reach advantageous positions. Her signature ability is a short dash forwards (think Tracer) and her ultimate arms her with several knives. She can fling the knives to deal damage or kill with a headshot, and she gets them all back on a kill (that’s her bel
This automatic pistol has a high rate of fire and can be used to spray enemies in tight spaces. It deals low damage per shot, but the rapid-fire capability means you can empty the 12-round magazine in just over a sec
Cypher – A tactical control character who excels at finding enemies. He can place a stealthed tripwire trap that slows, reveals and dazes, or toss out a remotely activated, slowing trap. His signature move is a placeable camera that can fire a tracking dart similar to Sova’s drone, and his ultimate absorbs info from an enemy corpse to reveal all enem
As for what to buy, Counter-Strike Esports that’s going to take some trial and error. Many weapons are strikingly similar to CS:GO , so it’s best to experiment to find the best weapons for your own skill set. Don’t skimp out on shields each round, but again, experiment to see if light or heavy are adequate for your playst
Here is the biggest mistake new players are making, particularly those who come from Overwatch compared to CS:GO . It takes a short moment to be eliminated in a round and running causes so much noise that you might as well yell loudly that you’re inbound to the opposing t
The Ares has a large, 50-round magazine and is great at wall penetration. At its price point it can be a viable alternative to a rifle, although it causes slightly less damage. The rate of fire starts out at 10 rounds per second but increases to 13 rounds per second as you fire. It comes with a 1.25x scope for easier target acquisit
This means that walking is (almost) always the best idea. An Agent keeps their position obscured, and since there are no heavy footsteps, players are free to listen to other important audio cues made by the opposing team. Weapon accuracy is also vastly improved when standing st
This means that Brax, Shroud, TimTheTatman, Dizzy, DrLupo, Trymacs, ONSCREEN, Summit1g, Hiko, Mendo, Skadoodle, Ninja, Ace, and many more are perfect to learn the top skills needed to become a VALORANT champ. These are but a few of the most well-known streamers, most of which were participating in the Twitch drops event regarding beta k
VALORANT began its closed beta last week and there is no doubt that the game will be a hit. For players looking to dive into the newest tactical FPS, there is quite a bit of useful information to know in order to avoid simple mistakes and grow in skill. Comparisons online are being made to CS:GO , Overwatch , and other FPS games. In a sense, there are similarities or borrowed concepts, but VALORANT is ultimately a beast to learn in its own ri
Although the current stage of the game is called a “closed” beta, it’s actually possible for anyone to receive access to it provided a few conditions are filled. In order to get VALORANT right now, the player needs to connect their Riot account to their Twitch acco
This gun has a fast rate of fire coupled with an enormous 100-round magazine. Like the Ares, it also needs a moment to charge up starting off at 12 rounds a second and increasing to 15.6 rounds per second. This is the perfect weapon for defending a site and stopping enemies in their tra
A classic double-barrel shotgun that can cause one-shot kills at close range, but is useless at distance. With only two shots before having to reload, you’d better hit your target. Interestingly, the Shorty is classified as a sidearm rather than a shotgun in VALORA
