CS2 expert's first time playing VALORANT

Cheater problem grew so much Ohne had to step back and make videos on his favourite game again

Counter Strike's biggest glazer goes back to his favorite game: Valorant

“There’s a dumbass with a giant hat outside of A” had me crying

i love that chat knows everything about valorant and then says they hates it

no one talks about valorant more than cs players

I would never buy a 35$ skin if I can't sell it back, that's robbery ! Meanwhile opens the equivalent of a down payment on a house worth of CS cases.

13:38 crazy how all CS players agree its too much for them to learn but then say CS is harder while using the same lineups and set plays since 1954

Is the expert in the room with us?

I love how he just looked at that sentry bot for one second and said., "That's bullshit".

14:00 that's partially why they want you to get to level 20 before playing competitive since by then you will have learned enough to at least understand what abilities do.

Hear me out, to get a good karambit in Valorante I need 45 dollars, to get a good karambit (dream skin is Damascus steel factory new so I will go with that) cost around a grand. I don’t have grand laying around that I can invest into a counter strike skin. So the price checks out because of the convenience.

Csgo players trying not to talk about valorant (it’s impossible)

I normally play CS only with bots so here’s what my first competitive game was like: Boot in Get yelled at for not clutching a 1v4 on pistol Get TKd They don’t comm for the next 7 rounds They accidentally (or purposefully? Idk) spray me with a Negev They get kicked We lose 13-2 Great I haven’t played comp since… at least bots don’t backseat scream at you for having your crosshair 0.05 meters below head level

Even though I am a CS player and hate Valorant, I will take the Valorant defense about skins. I don't trade skins, most people don't trade skins, you value those skins because you are used to it but for people who are not coming to the game to bother about resale value, outside marketplaces and all that shit outside the game, CS skins has no more value that valorant, and are even less valuable as cheap skins are often uninspired in CS, so even though you can't resale in Valorant, the average CS2 player also don't want to and it's a hindrance to have to bet on the resale value to justify a good looking CS2 skin.

one thing that might be good to remember is most people dont know of ways to get real money back for CS skins - they think once you buy a knife that money is stuck on steam anyway.

I‘m playing Valorant mainly but I also like CS really much. I have over 400h in Valorant and I‘ve played maybe 2 or 3 times with an e-dater couple and only in competitive. Also in most of the matches there‘s nobody in the team that is toxic to you. Probably like every fourth game one toxic person that you can instantly mute for yourself. In almost every match your team is nice to you in voice chat if you’re nice to them and also in pretty much every game the first message in the all chat is "glhf" and the first response "u2". I understand that the game seems very complicated to everybody if you play it for the first time but after you get the hang out of it, it‘s really not that difficult. Also if you understand and learn the patterns of movement, spray and aiming the game feels so smooth and rewarding because you get so much feedback from the game itself after getting a kill. What I also need to mention is that some of the abilities seem very overpowered but the game is actually very fair in my opinion and there is for nearly every ability a way to counter them for example with good movement, prediction or your own abilities. And yes the skins are overpriced and riot is very greedy but if you only buy the skins you like and you’re able to enjoy playing with them for a long time it is ok to buy them for a high price. By the way this guy that you were reacting to showed only skins that I consider myself as pretty bad. There are also many good skins like the reaver, sovereign or prime collection and many many more.

Ohne complaining about the valorant skins being overpriced when a knife on csgo can be 500+ only cheaper if its awful looking, you also will not sell that knife unless you hold onto it for an investment considering the prices of knives change all the time you may even loose money, at least for me in valorant if i buy a skin its a fair price for everyone and I'm not tempted to sell or gamble it and be left with no skins (personal take don't flame me too hard i enjoy both games)

all these people talking about how you can get your money back in cs but have a history of gambling away hundreds of dollars on cases

To clear up some misunderstanding regarding the VALORANT skins The skins have the following rarity tiers that determine its price and quality: Select 875 VP Deluxe 1275 VP Premium 1775 VP Ultra 2475 VP. Select are the most basic skins, most of the time just a Vandal/AK with different color/theme, Deluxe have different gun models like the airplane vandal in the react and variants, Premium is where the actually good skins start having animations ( reload animation, bullet animation, etc), different kill banners ( the circle at the bottom of the screen that appears every time you get a kill ), and sound effects (bullet sound, reload sound, kill sound), and Finishers ( animation once you kill the last enemy ), and lastly Variants ( 4 different themes of colors for the skin you bought ) Ultra's the same as premium but it also has some specialty to it, for example the RGX bundle, when you inspect a knife or Gun the color of the lightning will change, or when you inspect the knife it will do something crazy like a new animation like butterfly knife. the skins in the shop appear randomly each day, and Knife skins price vary even if its from a certain rarity, theres also an Exclusive rarity, which is mostly used for VALORANT collabs or Events in eSports, like every year they drop a new Champions vandal, and that vandal only comes at that year, so theres 2021 Champs, 2022 Champs, and 2023.

In Valorant you can get a really nice loadout with all your favorite skins for 100$. (If you get them in the shop that is) In cs dream skins are not obtainable for 99% of players. Yes you can probably get 90-95% back in cs, but putting in 1k+ in cs skins is not feasible for most
