With the newly released Episode that has brought a series of changes, including Ares getting more power buffs, here are the reactions of Valorant pros and streamers on this issue.
Valorant’s newest episode, Episode 4, was officially released today. It brings us a new agent called Neon aka Sprinter codename, nerfs for some weapons and changes to the map.
After the update, weapons such as Ares, Guardian, Bulldog, and melee were all simultaneously buffed. This led to an increase in the percentage of players choosing them, and it also led to many mixed reactions from the gaming community. Here’s everything professional Valorant gamers and streamers have to say about the change to the Ares gun.
Tyson “TenZ” Ngo
As you can see in the clip above, Tenz only kills 3 people with the newly “improved” Ares gun. At this point, many people can say that the problem is not with the gun but with the player because TenZ is one of the best Valorant gamers at the moment.
However, you certainly won’t be able to deny this when you experience it for yourself, the Ares gun is now making a huge difference compared to its former self. After bringing back 3 kills, TenZ immediately exclaimed: “WTF!!! What the hell is this? Now it’s even more ideal than the Phantom. This gun needs to be repaired immediately.”
How do others react?
Except for TenZ, many other people have also talked about the Ares buff coming from Riot Games. Besides the positive comments, there is no shortage of negative comments, but most of the expressions are in the direction of humor and fun.
Currently, most players believe that the concept of economy is non-existent in Valorant. If you lose a round, just buy an Ares and win the next, as simple as that.
