“I wonder if it’s hard because everyone is so good, and everyone is so good because the game is arguably easier,” he added. “Maybe that’s why [it’s harder]. It keeps the competition high.”
in CS, aim is harder because of the spray pattern, and that's makes new players hard to keep up with the experience & the older one. Different to Valorant, the aim is not based on spray patterm, but with burst/tap. that's make quote "everyone is good", because it's technically easier to burst/tap instead of "spray" like in CS. i think easier to aim is why valorant "easy" and noob friendly
Therefore, valorant takes different route to become harder by "utility usage" which is very different approach compares to CS
i'm sure, in 5 or 6 years, definitely there will be someone who really masters the utility usage in valorant and we won't say valorant is easy (plus the meta is constantly changing)
