yeah requires a lot of intelligence,fpx vs prx final was when i realized how low the fundamentals are compared to cs when on bind fpx literally just camped in spawn and did nothing and prx just ran in t their crosshairs without clearing corners for 12 rounds in a row then peple started malding at fpx for just easily countering the braindead "w gaming" shit because they were used to seeing that shit calling them bring bring because they wanted t win instead f playing it like some funny showmatch,even academy cs teams have more tactical depth than tier 1 val teams
csgo: just shoot people [the game devs suck so much the bullets don't even go where the crosshair is so you actually have to exploit the game to shoot your weapon]. maybe throw a smoke or a frag. there's like 2 weapons that people actually use. you cannot shoot either of these guns while moving so everyone is just shooting static targets.
valorant: manage your team's utility and ultimates. design elaborate and efficient executions to elegantly eleminate your enemies. you must keep in mind the enemies' utility and ultimates too. this turns into a metagame that is necessary for success. you also have to keep track of the enemies economy as there are other weapons that players use in this game which require specific strategy to counter. Additionally, abilities allow players to move in more than two dimensions spontaneously - requiring a higher level of aiming ability.
It's evident that Valorant must be a better game because all the good Valorant players were unable to perform in an inferior, simple game like CS because it wasn't complex enough to support their greatness - therefore they were all stuck in lower ranks than they should have been.
If you still don't already see why Valorant requires mentally superior human beings, I can't explain it to you. I recommend living in a cave for ten years to seek this enlightenment.
anyone who says val is mechanically harder isn't good in both,val is strategically harder but the teams are are fucking braindead compared to cs,its the complete opposite,their limited skill was not enough for cs so they chose the easier game,in cs its pure equal footing with minimal luck, abusing of easy mechanics or situational moments
