With engaging graphics and dynamic gameplay, Riot’s famous FPS game, “Valorant”, continuously awes its audience. However, fans of the game have lately been reminiscing about certain cherished aspects that aren’t available anymore. It’s a trip down memory lane colored by a few laments and perhaps a chuckle or two.
Summary
- Players miss some of the unique agent abilities of the early Valorant era.
- The fun-filled snowball fight event is deeply missed.
- Variations on rules or gameplay—like Jett’s ult refreshing on right-click—that used to make play more diverse are remembered fondly.
Agent Abilities: A Bittersweet Memory
Fan-favorite agents have undergone changes over the years that are sorely missed. For wonnyoung13, it’s Cypher’s turret, a dead ringer for a classic game of hide-and-seek. More flashes from the past include the ability to turn into a full-blown, self-sufficient war machine as Jett, who No_Chef_4362 labels ‘Literally a raid boss’; or getting a kick out of playing Killjoy—on Killjoy!—as PresenceOld1754 nostalgically recalls.
Oh, the Good Old Times!
For some players, the entire game is a fond memory, as succinctly expressed by MythicalPilot. It appears that players really felt the thrill in the early stages of the game, being enchanted by its unique appeal. Some even miss being able to launch Sova’s dart trampoline and self-drone boost, as shared by ComieCoomer.
The Snowball Fight: A Winter Delight
The cherished snowball fight event mentioned by FrantelleWaterMan makes us wonder whether the Frost Queen herself might’ve been in the developers’ council.
Whether it’s the laugh-and-shoot chaos of the snowball fights or simply longing for past functionalities like teleporting with Chamber, it would appear that the Valorant of yesterday had a standalone charm. It may be tempting to look back with rose-tinted glasses, but one should never forget that games like Valorant, much like their players, continuously evolve over time to achieve greater heights. Here’s hoping for more fun features (and snowball fights!) in the years to come.
