Summit1G sparks Valorant debate on Twitter: ‘Seems way more repetitive than CS:GO’

The Valorant closed beta has been live for almost a month now, which means players have had more than enough time to form their thoughts and opinions on Riot’s brand new tactical shooter.

Outspoken Twitch streamer, Jaryd “summit1G” Lazar, took to Twitter today and offered up some thoughts on the game, specifically dealing with how repetitive the game can get compared to its inspiration, Counter-Strike.  

I think my feeling on Valorant right now is that it seems way more repetitive somehow than CS does. Not 100% why though.

Don’t think it’s because only 3 maps either.

“I think my feeling on Valorant right now is that it seems way more repetitive somehow than CS does. Not 100% why though. Don’t think it’s because only 3 maps either,” summit tweeted.

At the time of writing, the tweet has garnered almost over 500 replies, with many people echoing similar sentiments. Some people argued that the game’s focus on agents puts players into specific roles, which leads to situations where you’re forced to perform the same actions every round. Counter-Strike, on the other hand, has no agents, so everybody can basically do everything. 

Even more people argued that the game’s maps are simply too small, and lack any sense of originality. With so many tight spaces and narrow corridors, there’s not a whole lot of space to be creative and move around freely. There are only a few predefined paths to take in order to get to certain areas, which could be why many players are finding the game to get stale rather quickly.
