So I have my own tacfps playlist with (coincidentally) Valorant scenarios mainly designed by b00n, and even sitting at the 40th percentile across the playlist, I can absolutely slay in Counter-Strike (especially community deathmatch).

The reason is I abuse the hell out of the donk slide. I’m out of cover for less than a second and can pop off a shot because I’ve drilled that peek-and-click timing in one of my playlists’s unique scenarios.

Valorant is different. Weapons have movement inaccuracy across the board, so you can’t pop off accurate shots while moving (even when crouched). Your best bet is jiggle peeking with fast reactions and good pre-aim.

You can’t BS your way into kills in Valorant DM. In CS I can donk slide a corner and hit a flick super consistently, but in Valorant there’s always that split second where I’m exposed and need to counter-strafe and hit the first shot before the enemy does.

Players also hold tighter angles and just rely on perfect crosshair placement. Since there’s no donk slide threat, once they see you, they click knowing full well that’s where you’re going to be no matter what.

It just turns into awkward one-tap counter-strafe fights every time. Feels like every round is a pistol round, and I find it way more frustrating than CS. It rewards reaction time and placement more than raw aim, which is annoying.

Thoughts?
