It's all about the graphics and abilities for me. Valorant's more colorful and has those cool hero abilities, which makes it feel like a whole new game, not just another shooter.

Valorant's popularity can be chalked up to a few key factors. Firstly, its fresh take on the tactical shooter genre with unique character abilities adds a new layer of strategy that appeals to players. Secondly, Riot Games' aggressive marketing and robust esports infrastructure have helped it gain a lot of traction. Plus, being a newer game, it naturally attracts players looking for something different from CS:GO, which has been around since 2012.

Honestly, CS:GO is still the king of tactical shooters. Valorant might be shiny and new, but it can't match the depth and skill ceiling of CS:GO. Just wait, the hype will die down.

As someone who switched from CS:GO to Valorant, the community feels more welcoming to beginners. Also, Valorant runs smoothly on my not-so-great PC, which isn't always the case with CS:GO.
