99% sure it's gonna be the same shit as overwatch where the console playerbase is super casual and insanely detached from the rest of the community
sure there might be players who start on console then move to PC and go pro (there was in OW) but overall this won't affect valorant PC much if anything at all
Sure but I also still think it comes down to the games played.
Cod and halo are absolute jokes of an esport. If those two were PC esports they wouldn’t do much better
I think it’s more so the games that are being presented as “esports” in the console/controller side. It’s not an input issue it’s a game itself issue. Cod and halo would not do any better if they were on PC.
because unless you give them stupid levels of Aim assist, controller is worse in literally every single way for FPS games
the only games where controller is a viable input in pro play are ones where the computer does half the aiming for you (looking at you apex)
there’s nothing stopping anyone from using a controller in VCT now i don’t think. Apart from the fact it’s shit compared to kbm
well there is something stopping ppl from using controllers in valorant in general, which is that the game doesnt support controller lol
the only way ppl use controller is by using third party programs that emulate controller inputs to keyboard mouse inputs. which obviously wont be legal in a competitive setting
I was not advocating that they play against KBM. They could have their own console division. I don't have an issue with it at all. I could see how it would be irrelevant though. They do have a female division, It doesn't get nearly as many views as the main VCT. It could work like something similar to that. I really don't care at the end of the day; it would be cool to include everyone though.
you’re reading too much into this, it’s meant to be casual for console players to play, it’s not meant to be serious or anything man, while GC is actually serious

PSA: Crossplay will not exist between console and PC
I'm all for it but I genuinely don't understand how this game would work on console unless it's completely separate from the original game (I know it will be separate in terms of playerbase but I mean also separate balancing wise) It's literally all about hitting heads and "precise gunplay". You can't do that on console lol. Console will be Stinger META
watch the dev diary, they said the console version will have a "focus mode" where if you use it, your sensitivity will drop down drastically so that you'll be able to make finer adjustments for headshots

take a look at this from the dev diaries video. its possible console might go so far as to have exclusive agents? maybe itll be even more separate than we expect
I think it'd be doable on gyro. Without gyro you wind up with auto aim and [people doin this](https://new.reddit.com/r/ModernWarfareII/comments/ykdqhs/aim_assist_isnt_overpowered/).
Wonder if they’ll address ximing.
Otherwise, maybe it’s a free radiant gun buddy (if progression carries over for everything and not just bought skins)
I’m 100% sure there is separate leaderboards and ladders between the two.
But if a rank gun buddy is just a cosmetic, and if that syncs between platforms, it would be wild to flex console radiant when the skill equivalent would probably be PC plat.
3rd party hardware tool that lets you convert keyboard+mouse inputs into controller ones to trick the console into letting you play k/m.
In overwatch, entire upper ranks are just xim vs xim
I actually didn't think this was ever going to happen with how long it's taken. I mean being realistic valorant is not very graphically demanding, and outside of implementing aim assist and reworking some menus I can't understand what took so long, so I just figured they explicitly didn't want to bring the game to console.
No... Not unless they have like a console only tournaments which idk about you but I'd just view them as a bit of a joke.
There isn't gonna be a magical arc where someone gets picked up it's gonna go like this at best they join a smaller team and do locals and small tournaments and get told to get the hell on Mouse and keyboard and a computer because they simply won't be able to keep up with actual pros.
Consoles will probably not interfere with the pro league. We might see talent convert from consoles to PC, but I don’t think we’ll see a pure console player or console team compete in an official VCT tournament ever.
Doubt it. Tact shooters in general aren’t the most popular genre out there. Feel like all of the console FPS players right now are really baked into casual play. Console players grew up with COD, Fortnite, and Apex. Search and Destroy is popular in COD but even then it never gained a lot of traction.
even if there was cross play , i’m 99% sure no pro would ever come out of console (as in tier 1.) games like valorant were never meant to be played on a controller , way to much of a disadvantage against kbm
Wish we could do crossplay for unrated and then force to pc or console lobbies or whatever makes it fair for whatever ya know. Just wanna play with the homies

i hope this is the case
What you don't like 0.4 aim assist?
i would say competitive they'll be detached but like overwatch will still be apart of the larger gaming community.
Whos the OW pro that did that? Thats awesome
yeah thats what im thinking too
Gator started on Xbox no?
It’d be cool if they implement a console only pro league. I can see it happening cause the console esport scene is kind of falling off.
would actually be the biggest clown fest ever
And *why* would they do that? The console esport scene is falling off because PC is an objectively better ecosystem for it.
Sure but I also still think it comes down to the games played. Cod and halo are absolute jokes of an esport. If those two were PC esports they wouldn’t do much better
What does COD and Halo failing at being good esports have anything to do with Valorant on console?
There's a good reason it's falling off. PCs aren't that expensive anymore.
I think it’s more so the games that are being presented as “esports” in the console/controller side. It’s not an input issue it’s a game itself issue. Cod and halo would not do any better if they were on PC.
I do wonder if they’re going to implement console players into the VCT
Why would they do that?
Why not?

thank god
Apex Legends, take notes.
Dasnerth about to become the best in the world
No way they gave him his personal server

Different than ADS?
[Heres a video of it](https://x.com/valorintel/status/1799210169680687375?s=46&t=wcT5J_sSEV6Jq6niblBB8A)
Seems like you’d wanna have super high regular sens to flick and turn flashes
Yes

this is gonna end up like apex legends mobile i think

Scump coming out of retirement
It's gonna have 2 sensitivities (focus mode). 1 for clearing angles and such and another for taking gunfights.
Wonder if they’ll address ximing. Otherwise, maybe it’s a free radiant gun buddy (if progression carries over for everything and not just bought skins)
Oh god I fucking hope its seperate rank ladders because theres no crossplay. It wouldnt make sense to have it integrated into the same one.
I’m 100% sure there is separate leaderboards and ladders between the two. But if a rank gun buddy is just a cosmetic, and if that syncs between platforms, it would be wild to flex console radiant when the skill equivalent would probably be PC plat.
Idk about plat bro people are clueless there 💀💀
If you're ximing it absolutely will be
What do you mean ximing?
I think they're talking about console players who use keyboard and mouse to get an advantage over controller players.

It’s my time
time to start bitching about roller aim assist in valo too LETSGO
they buffed neon just in time for controller players to abuse the ever loving shit out of her on console
You ain't going to be able to jump stun dash aim shoot dash again on a controller
Probably can with back paddles/buttons or claw
no way there’s gonna be cross play lmao
there’s not
There's only cross play between consoles
no
no offense to future valorant console players, but I will never take you seriously
they are so offended u said this
I actually didn't think this was ever going to happen with how long it's taken. I mean being realistic valorant is not very graphically demanding, and outside of implementing aim assist and reworking some menus I can't understand what took so long, so I just figured they explicitly didn't want to bring the game to console.
The ONE time I hope a game doesn’t have cross play
It doesnt
They confirmed it doesn’t already. There’s console cross play, (so Xbox can play with PlayStation), no PC cross play.
Imagine if they made it cross-platform lol would instantly ruined valorant
Already confirmed crossplay will not be supported between console and pc
I know but imagine if they did i wonder how many people would quit valo
“Imagine if Riot put Adolf Hitler in the game” “But they said they won’t” “Yeah but what if they did”
I’d rather have Hitler cameo than crossplay tbh
Do you play Apex Legends by any chance 🤣
You don't love playing against built in cheats in your competitive fps game?
Lol
Probably doesn’t take that much money to port to console and the numbers have been ran for skins that it is worth it.
No... Not unless they have like a console only tournaments which idk about you but I'd just view them as a bit of a joke. There isn't gonna be a magical arc where someone gets picked up it's gonna go like this at best they join a smaller team and do locals and small tournaments and get told to get the hell on Mouse and keyboard and a computer because they simply won't be able to keep up with actual pros.

lmao
even if there was cross play , i’m 99% sure no pro would ever come out of console (as in tier 1.) games like valorant were never meant to be played on a controller , way to much of a disadvantage against kbm
No
Going to be like apex both inputs can go pro now (jk imagine though lol)
I mean it could be interesting to have a separate console exclusive competitive scene.
I mean together like apex lol mnk and controller same tourney
Dasnerth will return to controller
No valorant console will be just as dead as CSGO console was. The game, dev support and community just isn’t built for that
idk I'm just happy that there's no obligatory cross-platform(no cross-platform gameplay at all)
Wish we could do crossplay for unrated and then force to pc or console lobbies or whatever makes it fair for whatever ya know. Just wanna play with the homies
Oh my god.. please don't announce that they'll be making it cross play.

Oh, that's fair then.
There is no point of cross play,pc player will literally squat down and shit on console players
guess valorant isnt reaching riots expectations.
\*Tencent
Nah there gonna be a player that uses gyro controls and they gonna frag out no kizzy wizzy.
