I have not played valorent but watched a video to understand the hype and learnt how all the abilities worked and was impressed. Lots of the abilities change how a map is played every time and stop a map getting repetitive. It reminded me of why I liked the bubble shield in halo 3.
Sure the bubble shield had some weird combat where 2 people just stand there looking at each other but the most interesting part was how it dynamically changed the flow of a map differently each time whenever it got used. we need more things like this to keep maps exciting.
