Since the new agent Waylay debuted, the Valorant community has appeared many ideas that the game is becoming too dependent on skills without focusing on shooting skills. Even many people criticized Riot Games for “not holding the promise” when they once mentioned that Valorant would focus on shooting.
Recently, the champion of 3 international tournaments of Valorant – Chronicle spoke out about this issue. The Fnatic player wrote on social network X: “I found it strange that the Valorant community began to blame the developers because of not keeping the promise that some Riot Games staff said 6 years ago (about the priority of shooting more than skill).
“…. From my perspective, the problem of the game is that if you look at Valorant as a triangle (shooting, skill, coordination), the skill will greatly affect the other side of the game. I agree that reducing the power of a special agent will temporarily make the game better, I have a more interesting proposal.”
After that, Chronicle came up with the idea that the game will only give the skill to be used once/game that cannot be reused. According to the Russian player, this change will cause the game to focus on two other factors (shooting and coordinating), reducing the use of indiscriminate skills. The downside of this proposal is also said by Chronicle that changes will make Valorant much more difficult to play.
The Valorant community also responded to this idea of Chronicle, but the feasibility applied will be very difficult, at least in 2025 when this change will turn upside down the game. Besides, if Riot wants to change, it will need to consider a lot of opinions from the community and players to come up with a complete system, meeting the needs of the majority of players.
However, Chronicle itself at the end of the article confirmed that he was ready to talk to Riot Games to share his thoughts on this proposal and make sure fans can look forward to this change.
