The whole point of Valorant is to appease the casuals
That's why Riot didn't implement stupid breaking techniques, play csgo and it feels like you're skating on ice
CSGO also feels harder because hit reg is ABSOLUTE dogshit, so shots ur suppose to hit misses for no reason
Valorant has a easier barrier to entry, harder at the pro level because of the sole existence of abilities. Contrary to CS frogs beliefs, lining up a smoke from spawn and going to mid to b isnt sophisticated nor is it actually hard. It's just harder to pug because people who play the game casually (aka EVERYONE except pros) cant listen to simple commands
Imagine astralis playing valorant, having to get every single timing down to the milliseconds, they would spend 2x more server time in this game in order to get perfect executes because of the variability and SHEER number of abilities
Look at DRX, these guys spend 14 hours a day every day in server time scrimming or dry running executes yet in tournament it will never be perfect, the skill ceiling to this game basically grows exponentially as long as riot keeps adding agents
