Summit1g explains why Valorant is \u201cbland\u201d and \u201cboring\u201d to watch Riot Games\/Twitch: summit1gVeteran streamer Jaryd \u2018Summit1g\u2019 Lazar has shared his concerns about the watchability of Valorant as Riot Games\u2019 new FPS continues to dominate on Twitch. With nearly a decade of streaming on Twitch under his blet, Summit1g is uniquely qualified to comment on games that may not be as watchable as others. His versatility as a variety broadcaster and natural gaming talent led him to being crowned as our streamer of the 2010s. Now, Summit has cast doubt on the watchability of Valorant, just days after he hit 200,000 concurrent viewers as a result of the beta drops that reward Twitch viewing. On April 17, during a bit of down-time with his viewers, summit began to explain his concerns about how much enjoyment audiences will get from Valorant. \u201cI think the abilities are going to be its [Valorant\u2019s] undoing,\u201d the former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player said. \u201cIf I\u2019m being 100% honest, I think from a viewer\u2019s perspective \u2013 I was thinking about while playing\u2026 it\u2019s very slow and bland and [has] these stupid and boring chokepoints.\u201d Despite viewers currently flocking to Valorant, summit indicated that he thinks this will dry up as the FPS ages, and the hype wears off. \u201cIt\u2019s like checkpoint mid? Put a smoke down, put a smoke down,\u201d he continued. \u201cPut a smoke down. And then it\u2019s like one big hit, kinda like Overwatch. I\u2019ve also realised there\u2019s not a lot of crazy cool moments where you\u2019re watching somebody and getting hype about him getting a 3k\u2026 I just don\u2019t know if it\u2019s gonna be as competitively fun to watch for a viewer.\u201d Summit\u2019s concerns may be new to Valorant, but similar issues have arisen in the past with different titles. For example, there have long been questions around the viability of competitive Fortnite, with many arguing the generally defensive play styles to do not translate to entertaining viewing. A lot will probably depend on how willing Riot are to make changes their existing formula, as well as how they respond to wider community feedback as more players get their hands on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
