As of this writing, Split is one of the most controversial maps in Valorant due to it being extremely defending team sided. It has two bomb sites, both of which are very different and unique. A site is pretty wide open with not much cover whereas B site is very congested with multiple structures on it. Due to Split having a lot of angles and covers, many players do not like playing on the

This is an easy way to create some severely uneven gunfights, especially in Viper's favor, and the ability stays active as long as Viper stays inside the cloud, or at least doesn't leave it for too long of a t


Viper might not be the strongest agent, but she does have a niche of players that have mastered her. Her abilities all provide great utility to her team, from poison clouds to poison walls, and she shines the most when on defe


At launch, Valorant only has four maps. This can be a good thing for players who want to memorize every nook and cranny of each map. But for the rest, it can make the game feel the slightest bit shallow. The maps also don’t look wildly different from each other. And, to make matters worse, players start each match in fixed positions, so they will quickly internalize the maps, whether they want to or


Starting off we have the Stinger, which is an SMG with decent damage at close to mid-range. While it's not strong enough to lead to one-shot-kills, it can get you through situations where an enemy pops up right in front of you, which usually leads to panic and spraying bullets everywhere. Its relatively fast rate of fire means that you don't have to be very precise with your sh


Although Cypher is able to gather more intel than Sova is, the hunter's information-gathering abilities are still massively important to his team. And unlike Cypher's kit, Sova's allows him to deal damage and hunt down his enem


Viper, like Cypher, can set up her gameplan pretty early, forcing enemies to adapt to what you're doing instead of the other way around. You always want to be the team dictating the terms of the fight, and Viper can really help your team excel at that, getting you off to a good start and forcing those teams that aren't coordinated enough to adapt to a quick def

If you are not a big fan of lining up your every shot perfectly, and would much rather expose your enemies to a wave of bullets flying their way, then Ares might be the gun for you. Ares doesn't deal a lot of damage per shot, however, its high rate of fire more than makes up for it if you catch your enemy off guard, especially in a tighter area or up close. It's also not extremely expensive, meaning you can get it relatively early without spending too m


Brimstone is one of the strongest heroes in the game right now, but he requires a lot of communication with fellow teammates. He can provide great utility, such as a rapid-fire area of effect beacon and a powerful Orbital Strike ultimate, which lasers enemies in a set a


Fast and furious, Aries are known for being particularly competitive. They love a playstyle that provides a ton of movement and versatility, but they also want to be able to carry a game or clutch a particularly tough ro


Sage is the glue that holds your team together. As Sage, you play as the backbone to your team; healing them when they get low, reviving them when they fall, blocking off the opponent and slowing them to allow your team to pick up the k


Each agent in Valorant has an Ultimate Ability. It varies from one fighter to another, and deals a ton of damage. The Ultimate is refreshed once for each round, and the player earns it by killing enemies or even getting killed. Players can also unlock two other abilities, which are not as powerful but still deal plenty of dam


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


Although very minor, it’s still important to know that players jumping on B Site from Towers will take fall damage. Players will take 15 fall damage, which goes through Shields. Even a slight health discrepancy between you and enemies could lead to you losing a tr


But just how good is Valorant ? As a 5v5 tactical shooter, the game is trying to go after Counter Strike: Global Offensive ’s crown, which is no easy feat. But with high-stakes shootouts, unique abilities and fast-paced gameplay, the game is already a lot of


Sova is Valorant Killjoy setups|https://valorantpedia.com/ 's ultimate hunter. The initiator wields a bow and arrow that when shot, reveals enemies in a radius around the arrow. He can also use his bow to shoot a shock bolt that creates a field of static shock upon impact. Similar to Cypher's spy camera, Sova shoots out a spy drone that he can remotely pilot to spot out enemies. Sova's ultimate is a near global ability, which damages enemies in a straight line across the entire
