VALORANT Raze s Abilities Aren t Just OP They Are The Wrong Direction For The Game

Raze has a powerful array of damage-dealing abilities, setting her apart from the rest of the agents in VALORANT. Is this the right move for the game? is the newest game to hit the tactical FPS scene and a successful closed-beta launch has put it in a prime position to possibly dominate the space for years to come. It does pretty much everything right in the genre. The simple, minimalistic design favors competitive integrity over graphics and positioning/gun fights are as important as ever. One thing that sets VALORANT apart is the diverse cast of playable characters with a wide-array of special abilities which take place of standard utility in other tactical FPS games. While each agent's abilities provide useful utility for any given situation, one character's abilities stand out for arguably the wrong reasons - Raze. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Raze comes with a that can wipe out opposing players. Her entire kit (which includes grenades, C4, exploding robot and rocket launcher) revolves around dealing a ton of damage in relatively large areas. She is essentially a character set on spamming as much damage as possible, and while Raze is incredibly fun to play, an entire kit that revolves so much around damage doesn't feel like it quite fits in with the overall goal of a game like VALORANT. Agents' abilities in VALORANT revolve around tactical decisions that supplement the core of the game - its gunplay. Smokes, flashes, stuns and grenades have their place in the game for sure and are an essential part of overcoming an opponent, but when a character's sole purpose (and kit) revolves around essentially a variety of powerful grenades, it can sometimes take away the intention of a gun fight/positioning/tactical focus the developers of VALORANT were going for. When the game fully launches and new agents are released, developers should keep these issues in mind and with a probable , some of the issues will most likely be addressed. Still, it will be interesting to see what changes come to the character as her entire kit revolves around dealing damage. Raze is an incredibly fun hero to play, though, no one is really denying that. With a few changes to her capabilities, she should still be a strong pick and a unique agent among her peers.
