10 Features Of Valorant That Set It Apart From Counter-Strike

3. Teleporters

There are teleporters in Valorant, specifically on the map 'Bind'. These are situated in such a way that teams can make fast rotations between sites and players can even flank the enemy team if they are not wary.

At first glance, this mechanic could appear to be over-powered and highly abusable, but Riot Games has made it so that whenever a teleporter is used, a sound goes off to alert the enemy team and they can react accordingly. This simple design choice nerfs the use of teleporters considerably and I am interested to see how new strategies are developed around them, especially in the competitive scene.

Ever since I saw BJ grin as he picked up the chain gun in Wolfenstein 3D, I've been hooked on video games. My first love, however, was Counter-Strike 1.3 and I would beg my mom to take me to Internet cafés just so I could play it. The other two games that captured my heart were World of Warcraft and Quake, though I play all sorts of games (especially of the competitive multiplayer type). Oh, and I love dwarves and write fantasy stories about them in my free time.
