These days, playing Valorant can be incredibly frustrating.
I've been playing since the beta, and honestly, this game has never felt so boring and frustrating as it has these past few months. Every match has a hacker or a smurf just running the show solo. It’s wild. There’s literally been nothing new in the game for the last three years. No replays, no events—just same old, same old. The battle pass is lame; the skins are super boring, and it feels like Riot is just cranking out new agents and skins without any real substance. Like, come on, it’s all about the $$$ now. We don't even get anything if we play ranked, just a dumb keychain.
Meanwhile, you’ve got games like Marvel Rivals launching with replay features and dope skins. Fortnite is killing it with tons of events and fresh game modes, and their battle pass is actually worth it since you can get cash back if you play enough. It honestly feels like this game is stuck in a time warp, and Riot just doesn’t care about us players anymore. They’re all about those ugly, overpriced skins. Even the competitive scene is a joke now with so few matches—it’s just ridiculous.
