[2021] Call of Duty player trying to improve with Valorant

I actually came from working on COD, and before that was in eSports for Modern Warfare(well what you would call eSports back then).

I've noticed, because of my playstyle and coming from COD, I do better being aggressive. I'm so use to just supergluing my finger on the "W" key and just pushing non-stop. Even in COD, when you had to be patient, you were constantly in motion. That being said, I wouldn't worry about skill getting worse. Aiming is aiming - while you may have to adjust how you think about crosshair placement your skills transition pretty well. After being pretty good at both COD and now Valorant I can switch between them comfortably.

I will say I avoid ADS in Valorant. I don't know why, if it's because it feels different then COD, or maybe my brain just doesn't like bluring the games together. But I pretty much avoid ADS unless it's a gun that has an alt fire(like the stinger) where I need it. Just personal preference, ADS is technically valuable in lots of situations in Valorant.

I actually find it easier to play COD going from Valorant to COD. I find it harder to play Valorant when I go from COD to Valorant. I think part of it is having to think in the Tac shooter mindset, where as COD I can lean into my reaction time and aim ability. Valorant really promotes headshots, which pushes that crosshair placement and smart agent utility usage.

Good luck hope that helps!
