Another day, another issue that has divided the VALORANT community. This time around, Riot Games has thrown the player base under control of controversial changes to Astra and Brimstone. These are visual and audio things that indicate when any smoke dissipate away from the airways as well!

Some players are firmly in the opinion that this change was unnecessary and only will raise the skill ceiling at all. Others believe Riot can make the game easier across board, even though smoke timing is an important part of strategy that should be learned by highly skilled players.

Others, however agree that these changes raise the skill level since players don’t have to memorize timers for smoke and can focus on making play with their new information.

For example, former manager of Fnatic was confused by how Riot brought timers to the jungle camp in League and how some players were upset because they believed that learning is key as a high-level jungle player.

Tracking smoke timings is a basic skill, it shouldn’t be worth noting that these words need no consideration. That question is not how you think about this time. Anderzz said it was because the problem solvers and players involved in these events did have a lot to do so, she said speaking by way of that point alone! This change just removes the basic arithmetic/counting check and allows people to focus on real skill expression when things are generated.

This change gives players faster and better chances to keep their cool when they are surrounded by smoke. As long as they don’t see when the ability won’tulle, higher-ranked players can create interesting plays around timers with teammates on fire while improving gameplay opportunities along roadside work of creating new challenges for younger players in combat against enemy violence or nonchalant competition alike Regardless, expect Riot to continue the process with different mechanics in Valorant as usual.
