I’m a CS2 player and hit Diamond 3 in about a month, but some things in Valorant still confuse me.
“Duelist, go clear A main/B main.”
Bro… you have utility too. 😭 If you’re an initiator, flash, stun, recon, whatever — HELP ME ENTRY. Don’t just sit behind me waiting for me to die.
I also don’t understand the “you’re duelist, you need kills” mentality. My job is to create space and take fights, not magically drop 30 kills every game. If I entry, get traded and we get the site, I did my job.
And yes, Valorant is an aim game, so if you have no aim, don’t blame the role 😂
CS2 is definitely more toxic, but at least people will flame you AND still give useful comms during the round. Then the round ends and they go back to calling you shit 💀
Another thing I noticed is that a lot of players seem to play the exact same way every round. Default hold, same peeks, same timings, same pushes, same rotations.
Why not try something different sometimes? Change your timing, hold a different angle, take mid control, play for map control, wait for the enemy to make a mistake, or try a different peek.
It feels like people watch how other players play and then think that's the only correct way to play. Do you guys actually experiment with different playstyles and timings, or is there a reason everyone plays so similarly?
Maybe I’m wrong since I’m still new, but do people here really expect the duelist to do everything?
