YOU ARE AN OG VALORANT FAN IF YOU REMEMBER...

Since it's been almost a year and a half since the release of valorant, I thought it would be nice to remind ourselves of how different the game initally looked when compared to the current state. It would be much appreciated if everyone could add a thing or two that they remember from back in the day. I will start.

YOU ARE AN OG VALORANT FAN IF YOU REMEMBER:

sage's wall was 3x stronger and her slows would make noise when walked through

Gun icons were different to how the guns looked,
Immortal rank was gold instead of red
The highest rank was called Valorant instead of Radiant
The luxe collection used to have 4 different colors for each gun
Reaver collection didnt have same animations or colors
300 cred sage wall

Sadge for sadge wall. I used to abuse that shit in Beta because I was a sage main. Now I am an Omen main who claims to know how to play Kay/O and Sova but bottom frags every time on both of those agents.

I remember being placed in Iron 1 in Beta lmao bc rigged ranking system.

You used to be able to paranoia jump with Omen. So many clips with that technique lmao.
Cypher's cage used to slow down people(I still think that would be pretty cool as a buff to cypher rather than giving his ult 6 points).
Awp nerf was like in Fall. But I remember that shit like it was yesterday. Because I just started maining awp around that time.
OG knife animation used to be different.
Split used to be hell. And I remember getting Split like 8 times in a row once before map matchmaking changes.
Luxe used to be cool.
Ignition series. TSM vs SEN rivalry was hype.

Also I remember my first time watching gameplay. Was something with like walls on C long on Haven I think. It surprises me how much different my life would be rn if I didn't watch that one video. Because that one video made me decide to stay on a stream for around 2 hours and I got a beta key like the next day. (This was like second wave of beta keys so I got really lucky).

Yea. I loved it though lmao. Sage, Cypher, and Viper used to be my mains early in Beta. With Omen being the third agent I unlocked in Beta. I just loved the bugs with Cypher and Honestly Viper was pretty fun back then. It just felt interesting. Omen was really niche and edgy. But I thought he was really interesting as a character. I feel like some of us just don't realize how interesting these characters actually are. Even me too. I've just internalized this as normal. But honestly all the characters in this game are wonderfully designed.

Yea they practically left Valorant by dropping their best player. They have Migrated to the Tier 2 scene. Hopefully they re enter it at some point by not making the shittiest decisions ever.

KJ's turret and alarmbot did not have a de-activation range. You could walk through the whole map and they would not be de-activated.

Radiant rank was called Valorant... It was like I'm valorant in Valorant. Satchels would also damage your allies so you couldn't satchel jump like flights introduced without damaging our allies. Omen tp was lil messed up. Tbh I remember the 1st agent I picked it was sage.

The first agent I chose was Sage on Haven. And then my second was Brimstone on Bind. I still remember smoking A site from showers. It's a really odd thing to remember. But it really shows how much the game has evolved from it's primitive state and how much my perspective on the game has changed.

a few things that i don't think were said yet:

omen flash being tiny and terrible, along with the super weird instant deployment on clicking the button
jett updrafts costing 200
immortal being yellow instead of red
no way to get radianite points except the 20 free ones
the old luxe skin variants (red, gold, camo)

everybody hated split
killjoy was like 2x stronger than now because she didn't have that device-working radius
sage's wall... don't even wanna talk about it, she could just lock one point on a map for a half of the round
luxe skin was great
boxes was orange
raze had two grenades and it was broken af
overall there was like one composition for each map that was far better than others
