Riot Games continues to gather an immense number of players thanks to its various free-to-play titles and huge communities. Valorant, launched in 2020 and quickly gaining immense popularity, stands out as one of the most successful titles, aside from League of Legends.
It has become a worthy competitor to Counter-Strike, but players seem unhappy with the agent balance. Social media discussions suggest that the game is becoming monotonous due to the excessive advantages of two specific agents, Cypher and Killjoy.
Some Players Find Valorant Boring Due to Its Lack of Balance
After the boom of hero shooters finally deflated, very few titles survived this wave of new releases. One of them was Riot Games’ free-to-play game Valorant, which managed to create a huge community full of competitions and a lot of content. This particular studio always tends to capture the attention of a very specific niche of players who don’t usually try other titles outside the company’s own games.
Despite its success, some players in this first-person shooter are dissatisfied with the current agent balance.
Killjoy and cypher are way too easy to get value out of

Apparently, discussions on social media platforms such as Reddit recommend that two characters in particular make it nearly impossible to win a match if they are not on a team. The discussion is about how Cypher and Killjoy make the game too simple and should not even have this possibility.
Should Riot Games Nerf Cypher and Killjoy?
A user on Reddit posted a long text explaining why these two agents are too simple to use and unbalance the entire match. It seems that the information provided by both Cypher and Killjoy is so much and so useful that it makes any other character in their class pointless.
This type of situation necessitates the use of these agents, thereby diminishing the significance and enjoyment of the title itself.
However, not all users agree with this post, saying that there are better ways to use Sentinels as a class and that it doesn’t necessarily have to be these two agents.
One of Valorant’s most recent innovations is that it will come to Game Pass with some exclusive benefits for the holders of this service. Users who play the game through this platform will receive agents on day 1, as well as a 20% experience bonus.
These ways of playing the title work to greatly expand the player community, encouraging more users to try this game. Riot Games keeps making astronomical numbers.
