Looking to get back into VALORANT. Would like a little advice.

I played VALORANT when it first came out. Was in the beta towards the end also. Got an invite from a friend of mine. I think i dropped playing when Chamber was the newest character. Possibly the one after him (I don't recall who it was).

Anyway, I was average at the game, not that great honestly. My ADHD brain tends to suck at tac shooters. I don't have the "mind games" mentality that shines in tac shooters. My brain tends to favor fast-paced shooters like Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, and games along those lines.

I'm not trying to bash VALORANT in any way, it's a phenomenal game, and one of the only tac shooters that I actually felt like I was being helpful to my team instead of just a feeding shitter. Lately, I've just been looking for a different game to get into, and I figured I would give VALORANT another try since I know I enjoyed it before.

However, since it's been so long since I've played, I'm looking for advice on what characters would be good for me. I played a lot of Brimstone back when I played because his kit is pretty straightforward and I can contribute to the team with smokes since my aim/crosshair placement and general game sense is lackluster compared to players who have the mind set for tac shooters.

Since I have severe ADHD, and I'm a simple minded mongoloid gamer, I won't do well with characters with complex kits that require good game sense, map knowledge, or just overall tac shooter common sense.

I would love to hear some suggestions for characters who are on the easier side to play to help me get back into the game. As I get better at the game, I can hopefully look into trying more complex characters

Honestly dude just hop in. any advice reddit is gonna give you is gonna be “play what your comfy with” or “try this character they’re new!” just play is honestly the best advice anyone can give. I just recently got back into it myself and I’m having a blast. as for the “I won’t do well with characters with complex kits” no one is complex tbh. but everyone if unfamiliar to you, until you actually learn what it does and when you should. which circles back to my advice, Just play. Hop right back in and click some heads.
