How did Valorant get so popular?
Valorant's popularity skyrocketed thanks to a bunch of smart moves by Riot Games. First off, they created a game that perfectly blends the tactical shooter genre with unique character abilities, appealing to a wide range of players. Then, they hyped it up big time with social media influencers streaming the game before it even launched. Can't forget, it's free-to-play, which always attracts a crowd. Plus, it's by Riot Games — the same folks behind League of Legends, so it had a solid fanbase from the get-go.

It's all about the marketing, baby! Riot Games played 4D chess with their influencer campaigns. Getting big names to stream the game pre-launch was like a cheat code for hype.
Honestly, Valorant just hit the sweet spot for competitive gamers. Perfect mix of strategy, skill, and those spicy agent abilities. Plus, it's free. That's a recipe for success if I've ever seen one.
