Valorant ranked medals — 5. **Lower Skill Ceiling**: Is this really a plus? Of course! Valorant is one of those games that are easy to pick up but hard to master. CS:GO is more challenging in that regard. Smokes are much easier to do in Valorant and agent abilities can still give you the edge, even if you're not the best shot. | © Riot Games

Valorant jett 128 tick servers — 4. **128-tick-servers**: Yes, I know this one is a bit niche, but that doesn't make it any less true. Riot Games promised 128-tick-servers before launch, and they delivered. In the meantime, many CS:GO players choose to play on FACEIT servers instead of the official ones by Valve that are on 64-tick. | © Riot Games

Valorant anti cheat — 3. **Less Cheaters**: Riot promised that Valorant will be cheater-free, and maybe a few people believed it. After all, that statement was pure nonsense. Sure, there are cheaters in Valorant, but when you compare it to CS:GO, it's a much better experience. | © Riot Games

Valorant breeze — 2. **Map Gimmicks**: Valorant may have fewer maps than CS:GO, but each of them has a unique mechanic that sets it apart from the rest. From ropes, to closing doors, to teleporters and so on. We can only guess that Riot will try to expand on that in the future. | © Riot Games

Valorant all agents — 1. **Agents and Abilities**: In CS:GO, every player is the same, and nothing sets you apart from the enemy. That's good and bad. In Valorant, every agent has access to a set of tools that'll help them. Then there are the ultimates that can be a total game-changer. See what we mean? | © Riot Games

The release of Valorant definitely made things better for CS:GO fans, as Valve were essentially forced to bring some changes. Despite that, Riot Games are still doing a better job than Valve.
