is valorant straying from a tac fps game

we have missiles in the game overwatch ultimates etc etc

It's been this way for awhile now, if you think it strayed it did a long time ago

For a long time now, in fact that's why until today i don't get the comparison with CS, i mean the gameplay and mechanics, not the "stoling viewership and players from each other".

I swear if Breach or Raze or Sova released today you all would be saying the same shit

The gunplay is still technically a tactical shooter, but recently, more new characters have had ults that provide wide status effects across a portion of the map. So, I wouldn't say it is becoming less tactical shooter-like but rather more ability-focused, such as Overwatch. However, this game has had abilities that have done this type of thing since launch, it just seems that they have been adding more in a quick time frame. I think the real problem is that ults are too easy to farm and combining them can sometimes guarantee rounds if you play them right.
