Player footsteps are very clear and audible in Valorant . To minimize the footstep noise, players can Shift walk or Crouch walk. It’s much better to Shift Walk/Crouch walk and not give out your position instead of barging in and dying immediately. It’s not necessary to use either of the techniques all the time, but near tight corners or checkpoints, it’s highly recommended to do so. Both Shift Walking and Crouch walking are relatively easy techniques to pick up and le

Because of the cartoony art style, the game will age better than others which try to look at more info ultra-realistic. This is how a game such as League of Legends still looks amazing, even though it was released in 2009.

A team fight can easily tip to Phoenix's advantage with the Blaze firewall. Aside from providing vision-obstruction and constant AOE, Phoenix can use Blaze to have the team reposition as he makes an assault. This factor makes Blaze very useful in big areas, as Phoenix can trigger Blaze to feign an assault and have the squad flank oppone
Players often than not struggle with using abilities properly and efficiently. It’s important to use abilities and utilities at opportune moments and not spam them unnecessarily. Valorant is a tactical-shooter, which means both the shooting part and the ability part are important elements of the game.

Using abilities efficiently and properly will net players more success when compared to players that just rely on their shooting ski

Crosshair placement and positioning have been bugging a lot of players since the game’s release. Players who are from FPS background and have played a game like CS:GO before generally tend to place their crosshair towards the ground. This might be viable in other FPS games where players can’t usually jump high, but in Valorant where players can jump really high and literally fly at times, placing crosshair towards the ground is not recommended. Flicking from ground level to head level will take unnecessary time, and the enemy might capitalize on it by killing you before you kill the enemy. Keeping the crosshair near the head level is more effective and will net players some clean headshots. However, it’s recommended that players try out different crosshair placements and stick to what suits them b
