Why is Valorant so addicting?

Why is Valorant so addicting and how does it do it? Everyday I play Valorant for multiple hours wanting to have fun and win some but everyday feels the same with no progress? I lose so many games but can't stop playing even though I'm losing my mind. I play for 12 hours a day and can't stop even after 5 losses in a row. Why?

you are miserable

nah valorant is boring as fck to play for me now, only like watching. Maybe ive been playing cs and valorant for too long.

Just like in movies there are directors and script writers to keep people hinged. Similarly games are developed around engaging audience

because bright colors, cartoon grapfix, cool ability combos, flashy animations, and the headshot sound is a short dopamine boost. The game is design to get you addicted and hook into shooting heads and winning.

Doesn’t last forever, I’ve Been playing since beta but started to get burned out and bored lately not gonna lie

go touch some grass
