I see so many people on HLTV act like csgo is somehow harder than valorant,but its just not.The main arguments i see that are being used are the fact that valorant has slower movement then cs(therefore making hitting your shots easier) and easier utility usage (since cs has only 5 pieces of utility,compared to valorant which has a fuckton).But this logic relies on the argument that easier mechanics=easier game,which is a completely flawed way of thinking.Just because its easier to use utility in valorant,doesnt make the entire game easier,because this advantage doesnt only apply to you,it also applies to your enemies.Therefore,because of valorants countless ways of being creative in terms of utility usage you have to be 10 times more aware of things such as positioning,because there are countless ways the enemies can kill you without even having to face you.Sure that also can be said about cs but still if you are in a bad position in a csgo game its nowhere near as punishable as it is in a valorant game.Having an easier time using utlity=having a harder time positioning yourself in a productive way,and having a harder time predicting what your enemies are going to do.Same can be said about valorants slower movement,you are not the only one having an easier time hitting shots,your enemies have the same advantage and therefore therefore it doesnt make the game easier compared to cs,it just means those 2 games have similar mechanics distributed in a different way.And the final argument i see thats being used,is that the valorant pro scene is made up of washed up cs pros.Now where do i begin with this one,first of all Valorant is a new game and its completely logical that its playerbase consists of csgo,apex,fortnite players.There is no ,,original valorant player" because if someone never touched an fps game until valorant came out its impossible to go from being clueless about fps's to pro in just 2 years.And if we stay and look at all the csgo pros who switched to valorant,most of them failed to stay relevant in the scene.Some of them never came close to being good in valorant(happy,skadoodle,dazed,swag,floppy,autimatic) ,others were good at the beginning of the game but once the scene started to develop and other teams started catching up they fell from tier 1 and altough they are still good they are nowhere near the best (sentinels squad,scream,jamppi,zellsis,wippie) and others managed to become way more relevant in valorant then they ever were in cs(boaster,fns,victor,ange1,nukkye) .The point is,its completely normal for the valorant scene to be made of pros of ex something,cause its impossible to go from knowing nothing to mastery in just 2 years,so its obvious those that have experiences of games similar to valorant will have an advantage to those who dont,especially if we are talking about pros here.So being good at cs is not a guarantee you will be good in valorant,because csgo is not a harder game than valorant is,both games have their own mechanics distributed in completely different ways so when it comes to playing professionally,there is no harder game.
