why everyone is quitting valorant content creation

Eggwicks videos have always seemed a little like warowls csgo mod videos id love a video were they teemed up

this is the problem of riot they focus on skin sales and esports. this is happening with league and now they're putting 2v2v2v2. tbh they should like give valorant something like a skin chest like in league 4 free to unlock some gun skins or game modes that are kinda different other than the existing once

Valorant has the overwatch effect, its not very fun to watch.

had no idea people still play this dead game....even more dead now after CS2 release

The game is stale bro.

I get that the game is stale and i dont think riot helps at all with it only being on the riot games platform instead of it being on like steam or epic. Like for example look at rocket league, having it on steam allowed some creators to make custom maps, some for improvement of mechanics in the game itself or just some random gamemode to mess around in with friends. A creator named lethamyr has made so many amazing maps, like hes made beer pong, air hockey, quidditch and many more. All im saying is if valorant was ablw to get support from mods and have creators able to make custom maps for people to use with friends i think it would make the game so much more fun

i wound agree that unranked-immortal or radiant is ok, but iron-immortal/radiant is not as that requires someone throwing games to get the iron account and then that same account that is already seen as being bad from the throw games will be placed with worse players and that is where the problem is.

You ever watch WarOwl? Great CS:GO content experimenting with the game and different premises, but we have none of that freedom or capability in Valorant. We can't even do custom maps in val. that is the price to pay for expensive skins, i guess, but it really does suck for content creators. There's only one way to play valorant, it sucks

Fuck Valorant. There’s so many goddamn smurfs and it’s just annoying as shit.

Smurfs are lame af. Don’t care if it’s for “Content” just wastes 9 other people’s time.

I do not understand why there isn't a custom map maker yet.

IDIA: make ranked for tdm! I think that would be mad fun

CS2s time to shine 🔥🔥🔥

Obviously valorant was never gonna have a long life span for content creation. It's an arena shooter, not a sandbox game. Theres not much u can do creatively

Overwatch is a good example of being a shooter that works better for content creation , because it's more arcady

dood wtf are you talking about playing the same game on multiple accounts is not ok... whaaat..? just admit you run out of ideas because the game is boring and you make money of making a second account even if you don't stay in low elo it hurts the game.. i have no respect for that fact alone.. just play in your own rank and make content dont sell your soul to ruin lower ranks experience that was horrible excuse LMAO

all you care about is content dood if your bored play something else and come back to valorant updates and play then and take breaks... pure copium bruh.

clickbait

the sad thing is that the address he put in the description is a ups store :( already posted that one on my socials

I mean, it was pretty obvious that eggwick was gonna leave val, since bro never even liked or played comp. if you don't like the main focus of a game, you know you wont last.
that being said, although I didn't personally like his content, doesn't mean that it was bad, and I can say it was unique, and perfect for other casuals like himself. so he definitely did what he could. but it was never going to last. A farewell to a respected member of the community

u hab the most civilized approach about this matter, not like that one particular bitter content creator i've watched the other day lmao

if riot would fix the god dam game it would be fun

i dont think the title is accurate at all it might just be a problem that you specifically dislike! There is other games that you can play but dont smurf and make content from that

Keeoh Dark and Darker content coming soon??? :{}

valorant is slowly dying in my country

nah your "opinion" on smurfing is utterly trash your "speedrun" garbage is also hard smurfing and you ruin the game for alot of players dont try to justify bro xD even 2-3 games of ruining someone's experience for your content is trash smurfing

also eggwick

Smurfs are never okay

Tbh it's 100% because I don't stream but I love watching the people play the game, I think a good bit of it comes down to creativity and what you do like I mean look at Vanoss gaming man

The problem with valorant, is the only things you can really make content on, is what Riot makes. You cant play community maps, community modes, community agents even would be really cool. But theres nothing like that.

Am I watching mogul mail?

wait suppose u play valorent casually having no intrest for rank . u level up to suppose 200 and earn decent skill (champion level shit) at the game. Then u finally play ranked and start crushing lower rank lobbies (iron1-bronze3). Does that count as smurfing?

Habibi come to cs

I think having like mods like CSGO, Fortnite, minecraft, etc would help the game where the community itself helps make the game more entertaining and engaging to the players and community. I think just the idea of players making their own maps and game modes that riot might not add, is fun. I don't know if riot would be into that idea thought, I guess I can only hope.
Like another thing they could add and I know I'm not alone on this one is a campaign of each of the agents I definitely would like to see that.

the thing is with smurfing content especially with the younger audience, they don't understand why your smurfing bro. all they see is you going into lower elo lobbies and dunking on people, making it look fun and relaxing and it makes them want to do the same thing. i know you aren't trying to dunk on people but you usually end up doing it anyway naturally because your just way above them skill wise. people putting that type of content out there is part of what is ruining valorant and why the smurf problem is as bad as it is. you guys are not just content creators, you guys influence people too. your a fun guy and i think overall you are a great influence on people, i still support you regardless but you and they other people who make smurfing content need to understand you guys are not the average val player, and you will never understand how much what your doing is truly affecting the normal players because you guys just are not normal players. you guys can save face, make excuses and pretend like you understand what its like being an average player but we all know you don't. it gets old watching smurfing content creators try to pretend like its not a big deal when it really is a big deal to a lot of the player base. that type of content is a huge reason why the game is in the state its in rn, why people are becoming more toxic during comp, why the rank imbalance is so bad, why people are quitting, etc. with great power and influence, comes great responsibility. you and the smurfing content creators are doing a massive disservice to the growth of the game, and to the people who pay your bills. you as the content creators, it is YOUR guy's responsibility to come up with creative video ideas, its not riots job to provide you with creative outlets, its their job to make a good video game and make sure it works. YOU guys chose to make content for this game, you knew what you were getting into and what the game offered when you did, if you didn't like that it didn't have more creative freedom then you could of chose something else. you guys are making excuses for your lack of creativity(not you personally you are very creative) but point still stands for most other creators, they are just lazy or not creative. its your job as a creator to make interesting content. period. your only going to be able to milk the cow and save face for so long before people start walking away. i really do support you and wish you the best, but someone needs to say this stuff out loud and stop pampering you and they other streamers just because your streamers.

imo valornt focusing SO MUCH in esports, literally nothing for casual or even competitive players, only for esports lol

You shouldn't justify smurfing at all even if it's for content creation. Even when everyone just started doing it, it was annoying and not creative at all. It's just ruining ranked. I was in lobbies with popular streamers before doing the challenge and it pissed me off. I didn't give a fuck who they were and riot lets it happen and EVEN worse praises them sometimes for it even though it's against TOS. I mean prime example they gave royalg a freaking GUN BUDDY ON HIS SMURF ACCOUNT... what the fuck is that?

I'm planning on getting into Val content soon and I'm sad to see these content creators leave. As a creator with different content planned out in my timeline, I started on a desk setup, then mouse and mouse pad reviews, and as I said, Val content soon and lifestyle/vlog content to add to that as well. IDK if anyone has thought of this idea before for FPS or shooter games in general, but as someone with a growing collection of mouse and mouse pads, I had this idea where I would have different mouse and mousepad combo to use each round that a spin wheel can decide for me. This might result in inconsistent aim for some people who are not used to switching their gear, but that's one point of the idea, you don't know what to expect, you might or might not perform well on a certain combo and it leaves your viewers surprised if you perform well or leave them laughing if you mald. Hell, use a really bad cheap mouse that gives spinoffs whenever you flick, it feels bad to play but that content will be entertaining for people.

This is one idea I have that is totally far outside the box for Valorant or any shooter content, feel free to use it. It would cost you a bit to have multiple mice and pads across the board, but hey it's for the content. If anyone ever made a video with this idea, tag me so I can watch it too!

Free clickbait video title: THIS MOUSE GAVE ME AIMBOT!! Changing mice and mouse pad every round
Typical shocked face in the thumbnail + mouse silhouette + 40 kills

Thank me later.

Smurfing can never be justified

This is the main reason I’m straying off from valorant content. I am not good at the game at all and I’m striving to get better but nobody wants to watch someone in gold proven by my low view counts and even though I’m not doing this for views and instead for fun. I still want to be able to do this as a career and I can’t do that with valorant

Complete bullshit.
1. It takes you 5-10 games to get to ascendant lobbies, then you have ruined 5-10 low elo games.
2. You as a content creator failed to understand your behavior inspires other people, to be more specific, kids/immature adults look up to you and learn from you. You smurfing with an iron accounts will make your viewers to do the same, ruining a lot more low elo games. Understand that as a big content creator your have a lot more power and your action has more consequences.
Smurfing content is purely bad, do not try to justify it.

You should try Fortnite again, it’s a fun game

if valorant is considered stale than what is csgo

maybe you should do speedrun with every agent and say what you are doing

It would be sick if there was a competitive game mode where you could pick your own agent abilities based on the current agent pool.. that alone would allow for so much content. Like running Jett with dash, yoru clone, and sage wall

They should make something like a creative mode in Fortnite

I honestly think Machinima like videos is what VALORANT needs. We need community servers.

What about Xirena she quit content creation too.

boys it is time for small valorant creators to step up less get itttttt
