Since the advent of the first gameplay of the Valorant multiplayer shooter, the opinions of the players have been divided.

Valorant is not an Overwatch clone, according to ESPN editor. The game resembles CS: GO and Rainbow Six

Some claim to be the “Counter-Strike killer,” while others call him “the next Overwatch clone.” It’s too early to talk about the success or failure of the game, but there was an opinion from one of the editors of the ESPN portal.

The journalist believes that the only similarities between Valorant and Overwatch are characters with different skills. Otherwise, the basics of the two games are radically different. Valorant is more like a mix of CS: GO and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege.

“I want to tell you that she has nothing to do with Overwatch. Absolutely. Yes, there are different characters. Yes, they have skills. But the similarity ends here. Overwatch is more like Quake Champions and Paladins than Valorant is any of these games. In fact, Valorant is more like a combination of CS: GO and Rainbow Six: Siege. ”

On the graphical side, Valorant is closer to Overwatch or Paladins. But in the gameplay, there are practically no similarities. The necessary skills of the heroes need to be bought every round, such as grenades in CS, and their use is usually tactical and in most cases is not able to influence the situation. The rules of the game are also CS: GO carbon copy – the team that wins 13 rounds, destroying the enemy team or waiting for the bomb to burst, wins. You can die in no time, and a good player is distinguished by knowledge of maps, weapons, and tactics.
