Valorant is an extremely boring game

I don't know why so many people like this game so much. I found it unfathomably boring, slow and repetitive.

I started playing back in 2021 because of a friend, he loved the game and asked me and another friend to play with him.

Gave the game a chance and it was absolutely atrocious, I didn't feel the character skills were interesting enough to spice the movement and shooting mechanics. Like, they do so little for the gameplay. And I was falling asleep when they locked-in and stopped talking while playing.

Comparisons are unfair but I don't know exactly why I disliked this game so much when I've always loved Counter Strike.

I cannot play anymore because my OS of choice doesn't allow kernel level anti-cheat but I really believe nothing of worth was lost.
