I would 100% pick cs go for the gameplay , but valorant has insane hitreg and netcode and no cheaters so in theory valorant would be the better choice

well yeah cuz its in closed beta

Valorant runs a root-kit on your system, and since Riot is owned by TenCent, I'm never going to be picking up that game until they change how their anti-cheat operates. Its worse than ESEA mining off of your damn system.

The game is just a CSGO + Overwatch casual/semi-comp game. Casuals can leave, fine. Nothing lost.

cs:go better

I just uninstalled it due to that reason. Most annoying is that that kernel file starts with your computer. I don't want my computer open for the chinese.

Game was quite fun though.

Well just read up on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/g02ggb/valorant_anticheat_starts_upon_computer_boot_and/

It runs in the background even though you're not playing the game.

It literally installs a root-kit on your system, by a company owned by TenCent. Sorry I'm not ok with my data being stored, sold, or compromise my computers security due to a game.

that's the reason i won't play it or install it, if it was coming on when i played the game that's fine but it has no business running whilst the game isn't running, and apparently the amount of bandwidth its using whilst the games not running is scary.

Vanguard has an Ak47 with nightvision goggles ready to blow your head off

Valorant has already reported cheaters so their anti-cheat is not that amazing )))

Bad things from who? Everyone that has put some time into CS:GO will tell you that it's a great game.

Not uncommon to see folks here with 2k+ hours screaming GAEM BAD I QUIT CSGO!!1!"
But then again, it's a small minority

CS has been around for over 20 years. It is recognized and there were many tournaments in history. It has become a culture.

Valorant is simply a new market challenger which have yet to take the test of time.

You can make the same argument about DotA (starting with Allstars), and while DotA2 is still well alive and thriving, It didn't stop League from achieving huse success as well.
Although I'm pretty sure CS:GO's main competitor in that sense is and will remain R6:Siege. I've been looking at some streams to try and get myself a beta key, but the more I watch, the more it looks like a borderline ripoff with characters and abilities crammed into it.

But then again when i got into LoL's beta, I used to play HoN and said "Yeah, this will never be successful, just a rip off made by some unknown devs". See how that turned out.

To their credit, League used to install Pando Media Booster to aid downloading the game, which resulted in it using up all your upload speed (or at least all that my crappy connection could provide way back then) to send the game to someone else, without explicitly warning it could do that, then got rid of it as soon as they found a better system. Likely the rootkit is just a way to aid in cheat detection and not (yet) a spyware

I'm still not touching anything that installs drivers onto my system, especially since cheats are already out there, and it's only a matter of time untill cheat developers find out more about the AC's inner workings and figure out how to more reliably get their product to slip past undetected. Plus, it doesn't have all the auxiliary functions that CS:GO has like Trust Factor, Overwatch, VACnet and Prime to at least keep existing cheaters away from normal players for the most part.

So much for "Valorant will have no cheaters"

CS:GO. Abilites are a gay IMO and while I don't give aa ♥♥♥♥ aabout graaphics normally, this is just eye rape. Didn't play yet as it just seems so ♥♥♥♥ from vids.

Not like two similar games can't co-exist - Dota/LoL.

Honestly CS:GO is still the higher skill gap game. The shooting in Valorant is MUCH easier compared to CS:GO. Plus getting hit gives SERIOUS movement flinch as well. I mean both are going to be free though afterall. So there's literally no reason why you shouldn't play both for yourself to see.

i feel the people complaining about cheaters have just installed the game and have low TF, here with 2k hours, around 6k i believe in all my games, and level 64 on steam have never seen a cheater since early 2016, and that was someone who added me to play and didnt tell me he was cheating.

I use to have a friend with 7k hours, level 200 steam profile, and she had awful trust 'cuz she kept getting reported (along with her fiance who was the real person people hated 'cuz he was soo good they just got reported both).

never reported or even suspected of cheating here. people just assumed i was a smurf when i played good. i guess its an issue with certain regions or smth.
