Riot’s newest title,\u00a0Valorant<\/em><\/strong>, has made multiple headlines in its short life thus far. From a mass exodus of the professional scene of\u00a0Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/em>\u00a0moving into\u00a0Valorant<\/em><\/a>\u00a0to a unique means of drip-feeding maps with ample cosmetic purchases available, Riot Games’ newest foray into competitive play has been interesting to track. Shroud, the former\u00a0Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/em> professional-turned-Twitch streaming superstar, has a proverbial bone to pick with the first-person shooter.<\/p>\n

Much as\u00a0League of Legends<\/em> tends to be posited as a more casual version of DOTA<\/em>, Riot Games’\u00a0Valorant<\/em><\/a> is typically considered to be the more casual version of\u00a0Counter-Strike<\/em>. This doesn’t mean that it’s bad; more so that it is easier to pick up and understand the mechanics behind the system. The friendlier components of gameplay, however, such as a lack of spray patterns and utility usage, can also frustrate older professionals that were conditioned by Valve’s brutal competitive FPS.<\/p>\n

This came to a head as Shroud stepped into the world of\u00a0Valorant<\/em> in a recent video, and was stymied with aiming in the title. Consistently aiming low throughout the video, the former pro player struggled to figure out a natural aiming point onto enemies while noting how much higher players need to aim. “Dude, in this game you’ve gotta aim so high,” he said between rounds, “it’s uncomfortable.” Comparing\u00a0the aiming\u00a0<\/em>in<\/a> Valorant<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>to\u00a0Counter-Strike<\/em> has long been a frustration of older\u00a0CS<\/em>-heads, ranging from Summit1g (who found it too easy to frag) to Erik Flom. Yet its inclusion in the title seems intentional, as a means of leveling the playing field.<\/p>\n
