Is Valorant getting stale?

I loved the idea of tejo bc it introduced a new playstyle in vct, but now it feels like every map there is a tejo (not literally, but its alot). I was hoping for more variety, it kinda feels like astra, chamber again, where if you don't have good tejo player, you're left behind. Then obviously riot is gonna inevitably nerf tejo, which will force every team to go back to old meta stuff.

Is the answer to introduce new maps more often (or atleast try too)? You can't just keep introducing new agents bc unless they're extremely op, it'll never overtake the older stuff. What is it about cs that makes the events so hype? Like the game is the same shit for the past who knows how long but yet every event I watch, its always so entertaining, then with valo, only the clout matches feel hype to me

but like tejo has made it where cypher/kj feel pointless. To play against a vyse is heavy default to find the wall, you HAVE to trigger the wall with a body to create pressure unlike the other senti where util can break it. Vyse feels like the only senti, you can't really bully, idk if its a good thing or bad thing. I hated it when everyteam was perma cypher last year and its trending to perma vyse

I love the yoru bc we've seen alot of cool outplays

So you're saying the game is different from last year but Valorant is getting stale?

I just don't like watching tejo every map, and it plays the same for every team. Its great for the teams bc they've optimized the usage of his util perfectly.

Just to discuss some of the gameplay, you can't really anchor against a good tejo, there is just too util combined with the tejo. Its hard to play retake bc by then the missiles are up again. So you then have to play fast flood or play before the util. Since a team knows you play fast flood/retake, then teams save omen flash like drx did vs sen. Im just being a bitch and complaining about nothing really

not even two tourneys in. calm down. 2023 started with viper harbor meta and it became more obsolete over the year. 2024 we had the gekko meta turned into the neon meta. teams are still figuring out things. let them

its more of me wanting a balance if possible and not just a "set" meta if that makes sense. Chamber, astra, skye were ran on every map it felt. I liked last year's "meta" the best because although gekko and neon were strong, it didn't feel like a must pick. Compared to now, every top team is play tejo and obviously teams will play different stuff as the year goes on. I just like variety I guess like the teams trying to run chamber now is cool asf to me

loud won 2022 champions barely using chamber. fnatic won two internationals in 23 barely using skye too. its too early to even tell the definitive meta for this year, theres a lot of different ideas. again, just let it be

but answering in more detail: with more time there will be more agents and the meta will shift a lot more quickly and it might even divide into more. it will be more dynamic and even might have agent bans. just give some time we are still at the beginning

I genuinely do hope so. I just don't like the guided missiles

tejo does not need to be nerfed imo, yea he might be pretty broken right now but he is one of those agents that are good for valorant. he is breachs competitor but their kits compliment eachother so well thats why they work so well together. hopefully the next duelist isnt a shitter and is a meta defying duelist.

Complaining for the sake of complaining. We just got through the Neon meta, which was the most fast paced meta. And now we have Tejo and Yoru meta. So how is it getting stale?

I think I heard something about them being a duelist with dashes since the last patch changed stuns and slows to universally apply dashes.

i think what you're trying to say is tejo needs some nerfs i would suggest reducing the drone timer and reducing the salvo to one charge rather than two, or keep the two but make them non-rechargeable
