Gaming rivalries: a tale as old as time.
Esports athletes aren’t the only ones competing in the world of video games.
In time, development on the game declined as Blizzard turned to making a sequel.
The games success left a sour taste in the mouths of Overwatch fans.
This rivalry is still young, but it might just benefit fans of both games.
Just look at what Overwatch 2 has planned forits latest season!
With every new console release, the companies would compete in release windows, pricing and features.
Then there are the console exclusives.
There is a reason both of these games are so alike - their origins are entwined.
In VALORANT, each Agent’s ability kit encourages a specific playstyle, without as much room for flexibility.
If their kit isnt put to use in the right way, a match can fall apart very quickly.
This isnt to say that one game is better or worse than the other.
It just means that both games appeal to different kinds of players.
Do you prefer the drawn-out suspense of Counter-Strikes tactical gameplay, or the more kinetic gameplay of VALORANT?
Do you prefer Counter-Strikes more grounded military factions, or VALORANTs more distinctive Agents?
If you like Counter-Strike, theres a decent chance youll like VALORANT, and vice versa.
Why fight over it?
Then again, we could say that about any game on this list, couldn’t we?
