EL MeoN games get better when devs actually play to the games fullest potential. if a dev cant figure out how players are finding exploits and optimisations for gameplay, they can never fully remove them.
@@Edgar-_- Honestly this game is living up to the hype videos. Riot is top notch and I don't even like the LoL style of gameplay. They seem to truly have their finger on the pulse of the community.
As a dev i must say that we know all the timings, inheritance of the abbilities and the hidden aspects of the games deep within the classes :) **Applies only to devs in their own games**
@@WiewiurTV I am learning software engineering too and this is 100% true, developers have really good knowledge about the mechanics and etc of the game
Highest quality Valorant analysis I've seen so far - of course, I can't be surprised when it's coming from Balla! I love the choice to review these games, the devs are definitely worth keeping an eye on for getting a headstart on the possibility space for tactics and strategy.
This perfectly shits on summits statement when arguing with shroud about the learning curve. He said something along the lines of "its basically CS, weve been playing this since alpha how much better can we get?" Turns out that they still have a lot to learn.
@@ColbyHill721 This is not true. Riot always want to make a competitive fps, they didn't even think about copy cs in the first place since they also want to make arena shooter or heroes shooter like OW, too . Watch travis interview with valorant lead designer
I like to think they were trying to show everyone how the game is meant to be/could be played, since everyone, especially all those coming from CS, would be kind of confused on how exactly they should be using their abilities.
I would love to see a vod review on some full Cypher games, I think he is pretty difficult to play and has a high skillcap. Love the Valorant content Balla!
If this dude keeps making quality content like this, he may be regarded like a warowl in cs or a jerian in fn. Great stuff man keep up the good work m8
Balla is literally way more important to competitive fortnite players than Jerian could ever be. Next Jerian is a stupid statement. Jerian's videos are aimed at casuals.
They played the devs really early on without knowing the ropes of the game. Wait until the pros start learning hero synergy and wall bang/sova arrow spots
I stopped playing CS 5 years ago but I've played this game for about a week and I'm absolutely loving it. Learnt some important things from this keep it up!
Very nice video. One of the best analysis I've seen from the game. A good video to watch before going to sleep, your brain might catch a few tips from it and the next day you're popping away.
Great video man! Glad to see your analyst skills carrying over to this amazing game! Keep up the good work, I'm sharing this video with my community for sure.
Am I the only one who does not understand what the strat at 2:00 is? I’ve rewatched it multiple times and it just doesn’t click in my brain. Can someone explain it better?
I've never played Valorant I have no clue what is happening but it looks cool. If they have good casters that can explain the game this is gonna be a great esport to watch
This is cool. Doing similar for the recent ESPN tourney would be great. Especially Devs vs CSGO, I feel like that is the smartest overall gameplay we've seen so far in Valorant.
Raze only has the grenades. Satchel can hardly be used offensively, bot is easy to dodge or destroy (and you know where Raze is going to peek so you can hold the angle). Ult is a 1shot, yes, but it takes long enough to come out for you to either go into cover or challenge her. The only other damage abilities are diva dart (low damage), breach charge (takes 5 seconds to explode), various pools (don't step into them), and Viper's kit (all damage from her wall/smoke regenerates).
@@Trubblin Those other abilities are all focused on area denial, and are not given multiple to one character except for Viper, but the decay from Viper's abilities can't kill except for her molotov. Raze has 4 damaging abilites, luckily they nerfed the nades but her utility just ends up being an explosion fest
I have a background of tf2 and I’m surprised no one mentions raze’s q for extra mobility. I see a parallel to the mobility of the demo or soldier, but all anyone uses it for is to get on top of boxes
It's pretty much like most competitive games. Brains over mechanics. A lot of people are obsessed with highlight plays, godlike aim and whatnot, yet very few realize that strategy wins most of the time. Every game I've played ranked in had this: Rocket League - Positioning and rotations won over crazy mechanics. Overwatch - Positioning, gamesense, target priority always more important than aim, especially as a DPS (Soldier, McCree, which I mained). LoL - Good macro play, focus in teamfights, even if you're not mechanically good at your champion, will win you more games.
Everyone is so surprised about the steamers losing... it was expected. the streamers already knew they lost but decided to play for the fun of it anyways. The devs are ex pro csgo players. Volcano made most of valve current csgo maps and are still being used today and i'm pretty sure he had pre aim lineup in mind. So i'm sure that's why they had 2x more information than the streamers. Nice video. I love it. i've only seen it through the streamers pov getting demolish but not through the devs.
Now make a video on the dev team vs Team Mirage which was the semi final in the ESPN VALORANT tournament. Team mirage was Ska, N0thing, AZK, Brax and Hiko. The csgo team won 2 maps to 1 over the devs. It was the highest level gameplay seen so far and amazing to watch. It was some grand master chess level stuff! Could you please analyze that series next?
If the devs are better, it means that the knowledge of the game is the most important. It also means that as a casual player, even if you played cs a lot, you can't be a good player since you need to know the game
Hey ballatw could you maybe do a tutorial on how to vod review for fortnite I have alot of problems how to vod review for example I don't know what games I should review should I just vod review tournaments or also arena games and how often should I vod review and what do I have to look for when I do it
Hey there Balla. Just a curiosity/helpful question. When you record your intros/self are you syncing your audio with 44.1k or 48? I'm just noticing some slight frame and sync issues that might be a sample rate adjustment. Great video, and thanks for the content!
I've been grinding solo q since I got my hands on the beta. What's next for competitive players? Is there a discord server or something that runs scrims or anything?
they need to add bots since their anticheat always disconnects my teammates it has happened to me as well and sometimes they just leave. Idc if they get punished why am i getting punished. in cs i've always preffered bots over dumb blind and deaf temmates
@Dalmaron The First thats good and all but i still want bots. The bans in cs are good getting a progressive suspension over things you did is good. So i guess i do kinda care if they get punished. 30 minutes aint bad if it was something important and if you do it frequently the time increases.
@Dalmaron The First i think csgo did it good with the bots. There are other ways to implement bots. In HoS the boss listena to the pings and calls u make and are almost always better than your teammates. That wouls bot be easy in an fps game but still doable. I'd still prefer if the bots are able to be controlled by players. but anything works.
Man just watching this video after only 2 games played on Valorant. I'm so lost. As a big overwatch player since release. I can only imagine how overwhelmed people must feel with 32 heroes compared to 10 in Valorant. Loving the game so far tho, feels slightly more forgiving than CSGO.
Riot may be one of the last GOOD game developers left, A company that doesn't abandon a game after a year and then spit some new crap down your throat to farm more money from you.
Short story: devs are cracked and play way too much
That's how you know that the game your making is good when you yourself get addicted to it

Fletcher Core it's called learning tactics
Long story short riot kows what they are doing.
these devs ye///
we want devs like these on every riot games now xD
@@le_phasme4342 yeah not like the league balance team who either don't play the game or are in silver
@@le_phasme4342 cough cough league balance team xd
@@808MarveL That's false. They are mostly diamond. The silver are non-balance team like skins team
Long story short the Devs are testing their own anticheat software
LMAO
Pixel I love this
Everyone talks about how offensive split is an instant loss, even though we just watched the devs stomp on offensive split LUL
Against fucking shroud lmao
Long story short: people are gonna make some insane plays in this game
This reminds me of the time the head director of ARMS bodied 5 fighting game pros at an invitational. So cool to see devs match up with pros.
This perfectly shits on summits statement when arguing with shroud about the learning curve. He said something along the lines of "its basically CS, weve been playing this since alpha how much better can we get?" Turns out that they still have a lot to learn.
This is the stuff I wanna see. This is what I was hoping for. I wish I could create that high quality content, dude. Well done.
is volcano the dude that helped design de_cache on cs?
Yes, and he was also a former cs pro on one of the best NA rosters of all time, TEAM 3D and other variations of top NA teams as well.
@@Ballatw glad to see him working with valorant
@@monster-ww4pl he pretty much came up with the game and riot picked it up, from my understanding
@@ColbyHill721 This is not true. Riot always want to make a competitive fps, they didn't even think about copy cs in the first place since they also want to make arena shooter or heroes shooter like OW, too . Watch travis interview with valorant lead designer
Yes, so I mean.. he's a developer on cs, and also a former professional cs player, so that alone would invalidate the first comments made by this guy
wait i love how good the devs are at the game. the cross hair placement, the gamesense, its so cool
baka shiiro well they are former CSGO pros
Its like they were just flexing on the streamers
some who played competitively in the past and are all considered very good at FPS games
I like to think they were trying to show everyone how the game is meant to be/could be played, since everyone, especially all those coming from CS, would be kind of confused on how exactly they should be using their abilities.

This is so refreshing! The switch to Valorant seems imminent.
This is the best analysis video I've seen so far, keep it up!
Proud of you to cast on Ignition Series. Well deserved dude keep it up

He talks wayyy too fast and jumps around tooo much. Hard to follow really
bro he already is wym its Balla?
Wow, I just watched videos of Skadoodle and his team winning non-stop, then I hear about the devs destroying them lol.
They destroy people because they have good aim, devs destroyed them because they actually can play the game as a team.
@@dusanbiga4948 By play the game as a team, you mean specifically this game with all its ability combinations and map scenarios right?
@@invictuz4803 Not sure what you mean by that.

Why did it have to be about the one character I haven't played yet? Now I don't understand what he's saying.
Great commentary, only reason I stayed was because you explained the strategies so well.

It shows the game is VERY COMPETITIVE AND FUN AT THE SAME TIME
This is cool. Doing similar for the recent ESPN tourney would be great. Especially Devs vs CSGO, I feel like that is the smartest overall gameplay we've seen so far in Valorant.
how did volcano get that nade off in the first clip from across the map? there was no teleporter sound
devs: aight lets activate cheat edition
Love the Valorant content!!! Keep it coming!!!
good vid balla!
Loving the content. Looking forward to more Valorant content!! Maybe a Cypher guide soon???🤔
devs should do this type of matches in every month after releasing game, but with different different pro streamers
The utilities in this game are kinda nice... But there is way too much damage coming from abilities. Especially the riddiculous Raze...
Raze only has the grenades. Satchel can hardly be used offensively, bot is easy to dodge or destroy (and you know where Raze is going to peek so you can hold the angle). Ult is a 1shot, yes, but it takes long enough to come out for you to either go into cover or challenge her.

I hope the devs are at the first tournament just to show where they stack up
JareBareXP riot won’t let devs compete in tournaments

if the devs play and are pros on the game , u know they gona pop off , this game future looks awesom
Very nice anlysis. Do you think any teams have caught up to the Devs' team play and ability usage?
Very good tips bro !
Is there the full gameplay anywhere with voices?
Balla for president
Anyone remember Brink? Valorant seems like that game... but way cleaner and simpler. It's a shame Brink never worked out, could've been really fun
bruh where is the next upload?! I need more of this!
WHERE ARE THESE STREAMS OF DEVS? I WANT TO WATCH IT.
U know it’s over when Ballatw makes a video ab valorant
Some very nice details :) ty
If the devs are better, it means that the knowledge of the game is the most important. It also means that as a casual player, even if you played cs a lot, you can't be a good player since you need to know the game
love this im also trying to make tips and trick on valorant love you ballah

Please make a VOD Review of benjis first place solo FNCS
Hope to see a 72hrs teaching I think he may be one of the greats thx for the vids
Have the devs ever used cyphers cam as bait to waste the enemies first bullet
great vid!

In the first game the Streamers played without a SAGE, what do you think about that? I think that SAGE ever have to be in a setup
sorry for my English, im south american
@@julianrodriguezz3419 bro what at least you are american lmao
They probably practiced a lot before releasing the game
They actually said that they played so much during development they had to put a limit to how much they can play because it was getting out of hand.
I think they played so much to test strats and balance the chars and stuff like this, besides the fun and addiction
Theyre ex pro csgo player
ikLein Mitsuk3 cs 1.6 mostly not csgo
Could you please consider looking at the rematch? I feel like the streamers and pros learned so much fro the first face off.
Can you link me? Didn't hear about this
@@Ballatw shroud's channel
they never played against the same devs lineup,
Don't know who you are but fuck that was a good video & commentary!

Is ntt the same ntt that played cod4 for EG back in 2008'ish?
yes it is! also played some cs as well IIRC

music sounds like a track from CMA - can you tell me what it is exactly?
I think its the minecraft soundtrack
Why arent u posting analysis recently is everything ok balla?
I want u to look at kiryache's (32) gameplay (I know he isn't english but I think he is one of or the best and most consistant player right now)
INSANE
Devs who are actually passionate enough to be good at their own game? Impossible!
They are ex pro fps players, it is not hard for them to git gud at their own game, tho yea, I agree props for them.
I'm watching but I don't understand anything since the game isn't out yet
So exciting seeing these people playing their own creation like the puppet masters people would imagine they are
Unlike League, these guys are actually pretty much pros (some of them actually having been CSGO pros) so we can look forward to actual proper updates,
The devs are basically the Coconutbrah of valorant
the devs already have thousands of hours on the game, ofc they win
Yeah working on the game. No way they've played for "thousands of hours"
Balla I NEED Fortnite Solo VOD Reviews. I spent too much time playing creative and i could use a 50 min long vod review
pls and thank you
They had to limit the devs from playtesting too much because they were playing the game instead of working on it.
its so frustrating when the oposing team has a good player with recon bolt, its like they are haxin
