Hello Everyone,
before i start i just wanted to make clear that i dont want to complain about anything, just wanted to see
if somebody got the same thoughts about the game today.
When i started playing Valorant the game was still in Beta, and i switched to Valo because i was pretty done
with the Counter Strike community. Alot players were complaining about the same issues - high pings everywhere,
not even european players in ur lobby just russians, turks and so on ... and thei were (mostely) right.
And this is not about racism or something like that. it just totally ruins the game experience very often.
I hope that i dont need to explain what Peekers-Advantage means, everyone who cares should know.
Before Valorant even released, Valorant Staff made alot promises! To bring up a new Anticheat software for excample,
and i can really tell that Vanguard works very well so far.
Thei also promised us, that we will only get matched up with people with a SIMILAR PING...thats what thei said.
So, i was very happy about those promises and started playing the game.
But things went a bit different as i would have expected, free server choice for excample - like what?
I still cant understand why thei did something like that, because thei are not only breaking their promise,
i also feel betrayed because i thought that it was clear...ONLY SIMILAR PINGS!
But fine, i continued playing, with alot breaks in between...But then i returned to the game like 3 months ago,
and things went even worse...There are ALWAYS high ping players getting matched with me, not a single match without one...this wouldnt be a problem at all, but some people know how to abuse it (when it comes to peeking).
I have no need to play with people from istanbul, russia, africa etc etc, im living in middle europe and i only want to play with european people, at least with european location and a similar pings compared to mine (15-25ms).
I seriously would not have opened this discussion if i wasnt sure about those issues, for EVERYONE who wants to tell me now that im just a bad player: Be quiet, please. I know that im not a bad player at all, and i really know the difference between strafing with a high static ping or a lower ping, trust me.
Those issues have been known from Counterstrike years ago, and made A LOT players quit the game.
So what do you think will happen in the near future, will it just be like this?
I can still be a high rank, thats not to hard to reach tbh, but thats not what its all about.
It is just hard to understand for players like me, who take competitve matches very seriously.
So what are the plans for the near future, what kind of player are thei going to support?
Will there be any changes in matchmaking? If it stays like this, i will just quit the game even if i dont want to
(And regret that i spend more then 500€ for buying skins).
Thats just my personal thoughts, nobody should take it personally. Just wanted to see if anyone out there agrees
with me.
