Personally it's easier, maybe it's because I have good aim already but don't have the brain power to predict these stupid valorant players. But getting an op pick in valorant is easier cause they just run into your crosshair, if they dont you can go aggressive with jett or chamber and get away easily.

f0rsaken was cs player from Boom , a team who never did anything (globally talking) and in valorant he is a beast same with tenz , yay and others . Some players adapt to the game and others not , i doubt a player from top radiant would play against a LVL 10 faceit 4k elo , but whats the point about discuss this when the games are diferent ????

the competition for cs in asia is utterly dog shit because theres not much player base, your level improve along with your opponents. Valorant level in Japan, apac or asia as a whole was bad as well in the beginning but now everyone can compete.

at some point asia had a big player not as much as eu but im sure they have a big player base , i mean even japan were on the top 10 countrys with the biggest player base in csgo

source for japan? Pretty sure the majority of japanese fps players ( not even much to begin with because they like console games ) play ava and overwatch. I play and follow cs competitive since 2013 there was never a big player base in asia for cs go because there are many competitiors and valve kinda ignore the region. Crossfire, sudden attack, ava, especially crossfire because easier for internet cafe pc to run it.

he's beating many chinese team when he was 13 years old tho. he's always known for his aim even back in csgo, many people in indo or SEA know him already, he was such a prodigy back then, and im happy he finally prove it. so he shines both in val and csgo for me.

csgo is easier and the gap will continue to be bigger as long as riot add more agents. Top teams in the future will need to learn a good amount of comp and be consistent w them to not get anti stratted and change with starting sides. The only thing you can argue is easier in valorant is the shooting i guess but that's debatable.

I find CS shooting easier for me idk, but most people probably think valorant shooting is easier

i find cs go shooting is harder when i first started but nowadays im not sure. Valorant is easier to headshot but that makes it more competitive for whoever has the better reaction time.

I mean , in cs agents are faster then in valorant. Plus the "A D" thing is not instantly

CS movement speed is a lot faster than val, so for a val player to transition then a peek on them is going to feel like a ferrari just flew across your screen, but for a CS player moving to val a peek looks like they're stuck in molasses

i thought csgo was harder in the beginning ngl, but as you get experience with valorant, you realize it's way more complex

Both are complex , if u are playing MM u will never see the real csgo , thats why theres such a huge gap between Europe and the other regions in csgo.

just because i said valorant is more complex doesn't mean CSGO isn't complex. lack of interpretation here. "more complex" is relative.

Thats a personal thing my brother , i mean 90% of the pros are csgo players or played csgo in high level (faceit , gamersclub and others).

cs is easier from my point of view although for me the two games are different and at least from my experience once you understand the 2 games everything is very easy from an individual point of view

CSGO was easier for me to play because there are fewer loser mentality players compared to Valorant (In which I had the same experience in League of Legends).

that's what happens when all the 13 year old timmys who just got their first pc don't immediately go to your game

valo shooting is so much easier,way more clear graphis and player models,slower movement.also spectre is stupid accurate and judge&odin are just cheating in some maps takes no skill and you are guaranteed kills almost every time

CS has less meta changes but pro play is more competitive due to its longevity imo

100% due to the small head models and faster movement. Its why one tapping in cs feels alot better than valorant

Hello, I'm ChedZ. i have 6000 hours in both CS:GO and VALORANT, so I think I can share my experience.

Aiming in CS:GO is MUCH harder than aiming in VAL, not only are weapons harder to master.

But it took me a long time to get into VALORANT because of how hard it is to actually play the game at a high level. Utility takes ages to understand fully.

VALORANT is harder to play, period.

nice take
let's also consider that csgo has 10 years (not counting another 10 years of the game as a whole)
Valo just has 2 and it's exponentially getting more complex on a macro strategic level imo (because of utility as you said)
Just compare strats from the first masters reykjavik and strats from last masters or LCQ, the level has increased A LOT

i mean, i was a LE in csgo, but im currently ascendant3, and ex immo3 so i guess valo is easier? but tbh regardless of the rank, i find csgo easier, cause u dont need to think harder about the utility, (sure csgo have smokes molly flashes,etc). but its easier to count the enemy utility, where in valo, u have an ability that can refresh, thats add some level of complexity into valorant, and also people can flank faster, rotate faster by using abilities, gather more info, and so on. so i find it easier in csgo cause i can predict the enemy more accurately, than in val.

i personally think that cs is a harder game to get aim down and have that good weapon control, but valorant is a more brainy game and playing with different agent comps rly makes u think a lot more compared to cs which results in it being, in my opinion, a slightly harder game compared to cs

I personally find csgo easier than valorant, the only part of CS that’s harder is that the playstyles and protocols have had years to evolve

I find the gunplay in CS easier because the guns are more accurate and the spray is more consistent.

I find CS movement far easier because you move faster and accelerate much faster, making peeking + unpeeking, and counterstrafing easier.

I find awping easier in CSGO despite the lack of get out of jail free cards. This is due to less people having set smokes and also being able to unpeek fast enough to avoid getting traded without the use of an ability. This means awpers in CSGO have an easier time getting multikills vs. just getting 1 then having to TP away

Valorant is going to be more difficult because of new agents and constant meta shift. You have to constantly learn and adapt to be at the top of the competition. Look at TSM, sentinel, ascend , they all fell off because they couldn't adapt to new agents and constant meta shift.

Interms of fundamentals and few things, csgo is easier but the matchup is harder than valorant

Much higher mechanical ceiling in csgo, and anyone who disagrees is just delusional. Valorant is so forgiving if you miss a strafe shot etc

i dont play cs a lot, i dont know how to use utility like smokes flashes and mollys and stuff but imo the aim and gun mechanics are way easier idk if thats a hot take or anything but my aim is insane in cs and i dont know how its so shit in valo. dont have enough experience to make a judgement in general though but thats my opinion

play against people who have been playing cs for 10+ years and you'll see how hard cs is. its impossible to say that valorant as harder atm when csgo has been around for so long

but valorant is catching up, lots of utility and the players are only getting better and better, if they start adding agent bans or even just 5-10 more characters it can surpass cs

U get so easy info in valorant.
U can smoke so easy in valo.
Flashing is so easy in valo.

In cs several player have to know how to flash and smoke.

Incomparable.

Valorant offers more explorative freedom with its utility, you can say that the learning curve for the game with each added agent or a hard change to an agent, means the game is becoming more and more complex.
In CS, however, the lack of previously mentioned agents coincidentally creates space for freedom with how the utility is being used (at least in the pro scene), so mastery of the fundamentals is crucial as even the slightest skill gap could be the difference in playing from an advantageous or disadvantageous position. In Valorant, on-spot thinking and creativity can turn even the shittiest situation into an advantageous one, much more often than in CSGO.

The approach to the game is different and this is why if in 2022 you treat Valorant as if it was CS, you will get stomped.
