VALORANT is a 5v5 tactical shooter from the developers behind League of Legends. This is also Riot Game’s first foray into the world of first-person shooter games.
Riot Games took some heavy inspiration from CSGO while developing VALORANT. And as a result, most of the core mechanics are exactly the same here in VALORANT as it is in counter-strike. With the addition of agents, Riot wants to differentiate itself from its biggest competitor.

Each agent in VALORANT serves a different role in the team. Agents like Cypher that have surveillance capabilities are crucial for a tactical shooter where information plays a vital role in either winning or losing a match.
The team that will be able to utilize Cypher’s kits in the best possible way will be able to determine the pace of the game. A cheeky camera or tripwire spot can be lethal against attackers especially when they are entering a site.
