I've always been an avid gamer since my teenage years. I was hooked on first-person shooters like Call of Duty and Halo, but after hearing about Valorant from friends and online communities, I knew I had to try it out. I got into the game around 2 years ago, right before its official release, and immediately fell in love with its unique blend of tactical gameplay and competitive elements.
What really drew me to Valorant was the strategic aspect – I loved how each character (or agent) had their own set of abilities that required you to adapt your playstyle accordingly. Plus, the game's 5v5 format made every match feel intense and high-stakes. It also helped that my friends were all playing it too, so we could have friendly matches and practice together.
As a woman gamer, I've noticed there are still some... let's call them 'challenges' in the gaming community. Sometimes I get weird messages or comments when I'm playing with guys – stuff like "nice try" or "you're pretty good for a girl". It's frustrating, but it doesn't bother me too much. I just focus on my gameplay and try to improve every match.
But Valorant has definitely been an inclusive space for me – I've made some amazing friends through the game who share similar interests and values. We all support each other and work together to climb up the ranks.
Do you play Valorant? What's your experience like as a gamer, especially in competitive games?
