Riot sometimes comes up with dumb ideas, but Franchising a FPS game was the greatest of them all.
Who tought that creating a Franchise system would be great in Valorant? Creating an Elite that only the big orgs can enter. It's just... BORING.
The same teams, the same matches, always, over and over and over again. No more underdogs, no more surprises, no more The Guards, Zetas, Xsets or Guilds.
It just makes the competitive scene less interesting than what it was before.
The greatness of Valorant was seeing YOUR favorite team become great and then conquering world. But with Franchising this is all gone.
Why train to get better if you will not play against the Big teams anyway? Why become PRO when to make to Franchise you have to be friends with the org owners? It just makes the game less interesting. And maybe for me it will lack the passion to keep me in my chair watching this game, like a lot of us out there, maybe valorant is over...
