Valorant Player ATTEMPTS Overwatch 2 | Is it easier? 

overwatch 2 is 100x harder than valorant because sometimes you have to put up with the worst 4 players youve ever seen in video game history for 10-20 minutes in a comp match, and try to not get tilted/have a mental breakdown (this is said in a sarcastic manner)

i feel like ow is one of the hardest games to get into because it feels like sensory overload, but once it clicks you get addicted to it

As someone who's been highest rank in Valorant and Overwatch, ow is definitely harder mechanically and game sense wise

Strange thing is despite both games are 5v5. If you have ONE bad teamate in overwatch, it'll be MUCH harder to win the game than in Valorant.

i think your forgot about the big brain you need in higher levels of overwatch ability tracking, ult tracking, cooldown management, engagement planning esc and there is even more if you play tank

Saying that Ow is 100% less mechanically demanding than valorant is actually wild.

bro played the one of the worse kiriko's ive ever seen then calls it less mechanically difficult.Bro is delulu lmfao

As an Overwatch player I was very underwhelmed when played Valorant for the first time. Not enough going on lol I’m used to a LOT happening at the same time 😂

Watching this man try to heal on kiriko and it doesn’t connect is so painful

You can tell he’s a valorant player because he put a clip of someone else’s pulse bomb in his kill montage and looked very happy

being a payload princess is the best

I've been playing both for awhile now (still pretty new to both as its only been a few months), and I've gotta say that although both games are somewhat team dependent... I've got one too many aces in Valo to say that its harder overall. Yes you can have a duelist bottom fragging, but you can also have a sage with double the kills as the opponents top frag. In Overwatch, every pick matters, having one teammate fall can be the entire reason a fight is lost. I've run into the scenario of: "I missed a single shot, but that is all I would've needed for ult, now I'm dead and game over." has happened to me. With all this in mind, I would say Valo is harder to get into, a steeper beginning learning curve; but Overwatch after the basics are down is much harder to master and get to a decent level at. Part of it is mastering unique character kits, but another is working around throwing teammates and overall game sense.

you have not experience true suffering unless you've played reinhardt

Lmao valorant is not more mechanically demanding. No hate though, nice video.

That Mercy showcase, as someone who plays a lot of Mercy I can say that she is literally a target for the entire enemy team, they want you dead just cause you exist in the match. Though the support role itself is always a massive target on your back.

That mercy gameplay was HILARIOUS, the way you were standing still while pocketing widow was priceless. I actually somewhat agree that valorant is more mechanically demanding on average, but there are some heroes that take more mechanical skill in my opinion

This randomly got recommended to me, great content! Keep it up, man!

Also this video has AMAZING quality for someone new to RU-vid. keep it up!!!!

I don't want to critizise how you've made your opinion but technically you played support and mostly kiriko and took Super as an exemple to show why is Valorant harder. Kiriko from all the support is one of the characters that requires almost no high mechanics especially that projectiles got bigger so it's way easiar to hit HS than in the past. I like the fact you've taken Super to show that he was "only" diamond but can we tell to people who don't know him which role he plays ? "Tank" I do regonize you need a bit of aim on every role in Overwatch but if you're taking a pro, take at least a pro dps and let's check which rank he got on Valo ? Should we talk about Sinatra ? Pro on both games. I know he said from his perspective Valo is harder but because of what he did in the past and the fact he got rejected by the overwatch community he has no reason to maintain a certain bond with the game so it sounds obvious that he chose Valo. I've never played Valo since I'm on console but it's a 5v5 game with different roles and abilities, I'm pretty sure that any pro dps that goes Valo would hit Imo in almost no time, they may need to get used to the maps, the different unique mechanics that are in this game but over than that it shouldn't be difficult for a pro dps that had enough decision making and aim to swap from ow to a similar game

the context with overwatch about that bad reviews was the angry of the community bc blizzard cancel the rpg history mode, and now they aren't making the history missions any more. is not bc the game is bad, is just the angry of the community with that bad new. we wait from 2019 to 2023 to know they cancel the progresion rpg mode and then in 2024 they officialy cancel the missions mode too.

Overwatch has been my favorite multiplayer game since the first one came out in 2016. Last year I started playing Valo and I’m still enjoying it. I think OW and Valo are both difficult but for different reasons. First off, aiming in OW is just totally different from Val. OW aim is more about tracking while Val is more about pre-aiming a certain position and then flicking to the enemy when one of you swings. There are some heroes in OW who do a lot of flicking like Widow, Ashe, or Cassidy (McCree). But the majority of heroes track the target while shooting. OW is much more movement based and the bullet spread doesn’t increase when you move, unlike Val where you get a heavy penalty if you shoot while moving. That’s why I play Neon a lot in Val, because it’s the only character where I feel like I can constantly move around fast like I do in OW. The most frustrating thing about OW is that it’s incredibly difficult to solo carry, even if you’re much better than the enemy because it’s very team-oriented at all times. So solo climbing can be incredibly tilting since it often feels like you can’t do anything to help if your teammates are bad. Val gives you some opportunities for team play, but it’s totally possible to solo carry if your aim and game knowledge is good. Both games are much more fun if you have a full party, but there are a lot of times when OW feels like a full party is required if you want to win.

If we're talking aim mechanics, it's hard to say, coz Valorant has a lot of one-shot weapons including shotguns in close range, which make it both difficult and easy (coz you don't have to worry about the same opponent within that round once you dome them clean). And that Valo has small hitboxes compared to OW. But then OW is also very hard coz, movement is a lot faster and snappier with barely any accel/deceleration which means AD strafing can be omega broken. You don't get the slow movement effect if someone shoots you unlike in Valo which means your target can escape easily. And unlike Valorant's Jett and Raze where they can get movement vertically but will be locked once used and you have to get elim, in Overwatch, you have: Flyers like Pharah, Echo, and DVA and their flight is a meter, not a cooldown or 'get elim/s to get it back' ability Wall climbers and one of them can double jump, deflect projectiles, and dash A Street Fighter combo character that can fly pretty much and a dangling ballsac-I mean Wrecking Ball. Movement and Support abilities are super oppressive in Overwatch unlike in Valo, if you're not used to deleting vertical movement abusers you might struggle a lot if you're new to OW. Yes as you move to higher elo, flyers or vertical movement characters will be easier to take out, but most players from other games haven't dealt with flyers before. I mean Counters Strike and Rainbow don't have any flyers. In Val, yes, Raze can rocket jump like in Quake or like Junkrat; but most Val abilities require you to have to get elim/s to get said abilities back. I'd say they're difficult but they're difficult for a lot of different reasons

5:18 quick tip, don't sit on an ultimate when you know that something like Zenyatta isn't working. It's better to just swap in the long run

6:02 Don't Be. sometimes as a Healer, you need to take shit into your own hands. when you see that no one on your Team is attacking the Enemy Healers.

Good video. Is always really fun for me to see new(ish) players try overwatch and see them improve. I would love to see more videos on this in the future from you. I’m actually a top 500 hundred overwatch player, so I understand your struggle from back when I started, and I see a lot to improve on. Keep up the good work, and if you ever want some pointers from a good flex player(that means I know how to play every hero very well) Then just ask if you ever do future overwatch videos.

7:30 maybe the reason why you don't want to play Mercy it's not that you're bad, it's because you become the fucking priority of the entire enemy team 😭😭😭🔫 And yeah you're bad also, who rez in front of Bap window? LOL Just joking btw*

Well the peak over Overwatch is just outrageous. Like seeing what the pro’s are doing is like genuinely mind boggling. The game sense, game knowledge, mechanics in aim and movement, cooldown tracking, ult tracking, compositional understanding… how hard it is to carry relative to other FPS games.

As someone who started off with overwatch and went into valorant, it’s so hard to do a slow push or be patient when making plays, as opposed to overwatch where everything is go go go

In my opinion, Overwatch is definitely harder than Valorant because most of the things you need to learn in Valorant are required in Overwatch and more (such as basic aiming, positioning, enemy and team awareness, ultimate tracking, ability tracking, hero matchups, counterpicking, multiple objectives,). But Overwatch is way more fast pace and has lots more abilities, mechanics, and characters to study and learn. I also think Valorant is easier to climb in because you can 1v9 easier, but in OW you rely on your teammates to do decently well too in order to win. btw you're also doing really well as a brand new player, i cried as a mercy main tho

6:25 No, you actually did right, you just had to back up and regroup after the dmg orb didn't kill Baptiste, the idea is to have 1k per minute heals and 1k per minute dmg at the same time to boost the overall damage of your team If you backed up and regrouped to your team, some of your teammates wouldve been saved and regrouping for the next teamfight would have been quickier, but what you did is what you should as Moira

i'd like to point out that it feels like when it comes to mechanics you're only factoring in aim, which in valorant is the largest part of mechanics, but when it comes to overwatch- movement is also a huge part of mechanics. theres a part in this video (11:41) where you try to back away from the ramattra ult, attempt to climb a wall and then teleport to your teammate whos 2 feet away. overwatch is a really overstimulating game so i understand that sometimes we just get overwhelmed and die when there was probably a way to live- but that was definitely an example of, if you had had better movement mechanics you could've survived that. not to mention the heroes where a large part of their kit revolves around their movement mechanics, like ball, lucio, genji, tracer, doom, etc no hate, just want to bring attention to that as well :) good video

Nah your video was actually was so good, definately deserve more love ❤️

As a (somewhat forced) Support main, welcome to the back of the bus, my guy. You’re either bullied by the enemy or your own team. It’s even worse playing Kiri purely due to how her heals work. But trust me, you could’ve had it WAY worse, you got lucky that your teammates were good, because that’s half of the game. And trust me, with your frame rate, you can play better than some console players, trust me, since as a Switch player, I’m perpetually stuck in 15-24 fps hell. Just one word of advice if you choose to continue playing support Overwatch, prioritize keeping your tank and fellow support alive. Tanks control the game usually, and supports control the tanks ability to do so.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree on valorant being more mechanically intense.

Yo, highly quality video dawg, you deserve wayyy more subs

I think your biggest mistake was using heros that are not played like a valorant agent, hitscans, snipers, if you really want to play supp and not dps then try going baptiste, he's really fun to play, hitscan character, high damage numbers, high healing, high skill ceiling, you can learn a lot from him

"i play kiriko because of reasons" *said in the most stereotypical valorant player vocal fry* i have never cringed hard until i heard that. but tbf you do you and it makes me happy you enjoy the game we love.

if you have not, try turning off the toggle in the healing ofudas of kiriko, it can help you to do more damage and be more precise of how much are u healing ur ally

"Spent enough money on skins so I could buy a brand new PC". Usually, me spending money on skins gets in the way of me affording to upgrade my PC. Teach me your ways!

YO THE REWIND IS SICK, letsgo ow pro

i have to say, as someone who has reached the highest rank in val, cs2 and ow2, for me personally overwatch was the hardest but also the most fun. i have completely switched to beeing a overwatch 2 only player basically

"all that aim i learned, i don't want to use any of it" *plays kiriko*

Idk if you still plan to play ow but a quick tip on kri you can shoot a kunai in between each bust of healing. It helps build ultimate faster which is your main objective as kri and headshots deal 140hp on non armored heros so if you hit a cheeky one it can swing a fight

It’s a shame you couldn’t find the artist for the thumbnail. That was a really cute photo

as easy valorant is just needing to aim and shoot, for ow you will need to at least try every character once to learn and memorize their skills and ults to better know how to counter them when you play just to point a couple things out, yes the winston was fine with pushing up in that 2nd floor room, ignoring the mauga since if your team went head to head against mauga winston would have died in 5 seconds. dive comp goes for anything but the tank, dive in dive out. mostly from what i can see you mainly healbotted, thats fine if you are something like mercy or life weaver but you were a kiriko, the hero with one of the highest potential of dps, she is great with her accurate high dmg kunai so strafe and go for headshots on anything that isnt the tank and you will 3 shot them. but you mentioned you didnt want to aim and play chill, so just play heroes like mercy, lifeweaver, moira (doesnt need much skill), ana (chills in backline) as for the reviews, it isnt because the game is bad, its just the company that made and works on it, Blizzard, makes it bad which is why we dis on them

I lol’d at the dying from a pulse bomb when you had suzu

Out here healing full hp healing, not interweaving kunai in between heals, you’re not even out of the kindergarten level of mechanics in ow. From a diamond support in OW and a diamond Omen main in Val.

the skill floor for ow is so much lower than on val, there are so many characters that literally hold ur hand

valorant is a stamina game where you have to play at the best consistently for longer periods of time while overwatch is everything fun and tilting love both games peak imm on val and peak dia on ow2

6:02, that was actually a great play, the execution was just off.

As an Overwatch player, my friends bullies me that I Play this OW than Valorant, and tbh Im glad people are accepting that Overwatch is harder, the learning process of OW is REALLY Long with exception of VERY Bad teamates.... And with that Challenge I'm proud That I play Overwatch even with the depression this game Give me LMAOO

8:45 I know a Oshi No Ko idol opening when I hear it

hey, a tips for you to improve is really to deal damage, on kiriko you can heal and while heal is recharging try to hit 1-2 kunai, you did like 10 kunai the whole game. dealing damage force the ennemy to play safer and so you have less to heal since they do less damage. the same concept is for all supports, moira you need to do damage, mercy need to damage boost, bap heal rocket + 2 shoots, zen damage + discord, ana try to pock and place offensive nades. Even on life weaver you need to try to do some damage but it's harder to execute it properly, he's definitly something else in overwatch support cast. But trust me you are going to improve if you start doing damage, it creates direct pressure

That's a crazy statement to make... Even bronze rank in Overwatch is more mechanically demanding then Val and those lobbies are full of bots. The game pace and vast character ability knowledge you must have before becoming a decent overwatch player can be extremely rough for people. When you place Diamond or higher, we will have a conversation.

I love the background audio

I stopped gaming for years. Last year I bought an xbox because of my friends and started Overwatch 2. I never was this stressed playing a game and was stuck in Bronze for months 😂.

They claim to be an OG but didn't even play OW1, Not to mention the mercy gameplay then blames it on the game instead of himself for not positioning correctly

if you’re worried about mechanics in OW, you have made the right decisions not focusing on them. it’s a lot more useful to learn how to take advantageous duels where you don’t need to rely so much on your aim than trying to be the biggest glass cannon and going for kills even if bad spots

this was incredibly well made

great video however one point, the reason super is hardstuck in valorant isn't his aim since keep in mind he was still a professional esports player and no matter what role you play it is very very mechanically demanding its just the games are fundamentally different. Valorant requires a lot more awareness of where the enemy team is at all times and when to rotate while overwatch is point based and much more dependent on map control and understanding the characters in the game.

loved the video! i don't see many overwatch videos ever unless its a troll im sure you've seen the voice trolls and such or beating a streamer its not really gameplay oriented, you did very well, kiri was really good! 15 assists is actually better then some i see which is concerning ngl (i play her too >:D) i do see some improvements but i probably need some as well but overall a good video to eat dinner with lol

I just wanted to put out there this is one of the better videos I’ve seen on the new overwatch player type experience and I was surprised to see you had that little subs , this stuff was some grade a content

Here's an extra comment bc you did a fab job. Nice editing btw :) Also, please play battle mercy 🤣There is no better feeling than getting a valk 5k and potg

Overwatch since the beginning, was so busted and random feeling and yet a very fun game. I hated Blizz for years for the forced Overwatch league and that they nearly killed the IP for it. I stil play Overwatch from time to time with my friends, but rarely on my own... its just good game to goof around in. Valorant is a way better competitive game and since i have played CS for so long, that today i prefer to watchs Valorant-streamers alot more than playing it myself...

Remember to increase your recording bitrate to avoid gettin them pixels all over the game afterwards in the recording. ♥

valorant has baby easy abilities to use but overwatch has slightly easier abilities with TERRIBLE COOLDOWNS that make it hard

good video dude, in contrary opinions I am a master in ow and valorant mechanically it seems like a baby fps to me but my game is so untactical that I have become platinum at level 50, it's not bad I guess sometimes I have fun abusing the operator and jett, skay in Its time to get immortal relatively easy I guess super is not the best example

Yeah ow has gone downhill, its so scary being a mercy main now like u get dunked on 24/7 support is so tricky to survive and ppl r still mean about ur heals😢

I also came from valorant and started playing overwatch and I went from bronze 3 to gold 3 in a season, comp is definitely less taxing on my mental since games are shorter

ngl to be good at overwatch u need at least 1 month of discovering each single one of the abilities so u don’t get lost

I can't speak on the difficulty of Valorant, but you did play mostly support, which is generally considered the easiest role. Not saying your gameplay wasn't good, though (mostly because of your aim). If you do continue to play, you should try being less of a healbot and be more proactive when playing support. An ana nade on the enemy to stop them from healing or a kiriko contesting the dps a lot of the time is more useful than just sitting there and healing. Also please ADS as Ana. People like to flex going hipfire only, but if you're not in danger there's no reason not to, and your team died a few times for it. Quickscoping is also a thing on Ana and you 100% should be doing it. Rememer ADS turns her projectiles into hitscan. Anyway, good video. If you wanna experience peak overwatch, you should try getting a stack. It's like 1000 times better

Valorant being called mechanically difficult is an insult. For everyone.

The pixels being lost is because of your bitrate going down. If obs is going to drop frames it will lower the bitrate of the recording so it is easier to encode and doesnt drop frames

I love watching new (or returning) players try out overWatch again. 😎 Great video, with nice commentary of your thought process, you got a new subscriber +1 👍🏽 Btw, on Kiriko if you hold down both mouse buttons, you will auto-heal *plus* throw 2x Kunai during the healing-ofuda recovery time. That way you can get in extra damage without losing heals-per-second.

as someone who mains kiriko, i would recommend trying to throw a kunai between each paper throw but overall u got better aim than me, u should climb relatively easily once u get some good hits in between ur heals, rmb the role is support not healer

Overwatch most definitely requires more finesse/ skill, it is the harder game.

Play hammond (goodluck)

yeah i'm not sure whats going on

The music in this video!.....*chef kiss*

It's basically ALMOST impossible to play mercy (coming from a mercy main) I was actually a decent mercy main until they buffed everyones health and you cant health enough now :((

as someone who was shit at valorant overwatch somehow was easier for me to learn and getting good at overwatch helped me get better at valorant too idk

I also came back to OW2 and lemme tell chu, this game hurts my brain in the weirdest ways. 😂

maaaan cmon goats was sooo goood (tank player bias). it allowed for soo many macro and micro skills to shine and it felt like th emost unique to overwatch experience ever. granted it lasted for waaay to long. metas are supposed to happen and change the game, if everything was stale and everything was playable it would get kinda boring and 1 dimensional. a game is meant to be lik ea hearbeat monitor with ups and downs and goats was an up for a while until i became a down.

One thing I'll never understand is why people hated Goats :D It wasn't as fun to watch as dive, but it was the result of people bitching about dive being a meta in the game so it's mostly the fault of players Brig and goats even became a thing and when you realize that it in turn led to role queue and that led to 5v5 we have today...you really learn to appreciate goats :D I liked owl and it was fun to watch it no matter the meta and since I played tanks and liked the synergy I don't really had a problem with it. I actually liked the fact that you had to stick together and work as a team, something which was difficult to achieve in any rank under diamond...but suddenly when everyone wanted to play goats even in lower ranks people were sticking together....I don't know. Goats was way more fun that double shield meta and definitely more fun than a stoopid 5v5 we have and if devs wanted to get rid of it all they had to do was to rework/tone down Brig and it would be okay. Instead they fucked up the whole game to the point when it is almost unplayable for tank players unless you are willing to play one of the most boring heroes in the game (Mauga and Orisa).

lack of heal me as main tank : first time? sadly i force myself play dps because for some reasons im getting more heal as dps than tank no wonder why tank is not fun recentely

That Mercy movement represents me with long nails (Also you’ll get the hang of it as you go, try to watch tutorials! Especially one how to position and play certain characters)

Since everyone is arguing and i love both games I did some actual fact tests and here is what i found, feel free to double check my math btw Overwatch 2 has 23 million players over the last 30 days Valorant has 24 million players over the last 30 days 1.6% of players are at the highest rank of overwatch 0.03% of players are at the highest rank of valorant Note : this excludes the addition of champion but there is no info on it and it likely won't make up for the overwhelming difference your about to see anyways, at best both games are equally hard, at worst... Its approximately 53x harder to reach the highest rank of valorant than overwatch 2. Now lets look at "good players", so people above metal ranks in both games. 10.5% of valorant players are above metal rank 17.7% of overwatch 2 players are above metal rank Both games have relatively equal amount of players, so overwatch has 7% more players that are "good" than in valorant, meaning overwatch is also the easier game to get good in. Saddens me a bit to say cause I thought I'd be a lot closer and I hope champions in overwatch change things for ranked more, but right now, by no measurable statistic is overwatch harder than valorant

I can say you really need to work on when to do dmg on kiriko esp when you have a bap who's like 10x better than you at healing and also you deal like 2.5x dmg when you hit a headshot the amount of times you just healed the walls when your teammates weren't near u was really noticable

Based use of "idol" , love your content already xD

Remember that the role you play is not called healer it’s called support. As Kiriko you could take more aggressive off angles and 1v1s without being punished too badly, because you have a tp and suzu. You can play her similar to reaper. As Ana you should be regularly using those sleeps and nades(you should use the nades more often for offensive purposes rather than healing)also you need to be positioned where you can see your teammates and enemy players but are away from danger(play close to corners for your escape) for the most part I’d say you need to start doing more damage, rather than healing almost full/ full hp teammates but ofc always heal when necessary.(as you play the game more, you’ll be able to distinguish when is the time for damage, and when is the time for heals.) k bye.

Glad to see you playing Overwatch. Valorant is a great game also, but a bore by comparison. To each their own. Hope to see more OW content from you.

get a kill for every sub with mercy frfr

its either your addicted to overwatch and play non stop or you dont even play lmao (no in between )

High elo players didnt end up beeing placed plat , i was plat last season and placed that asweel, also having played both games, in my opinon overwatch is a lot harder. Depending on the character you play its just as machenically demanding as Valorant for some even more difficult. Overwatch has been around much longer, so the playerbase is further developed. Also Overwatch has much more complicated concepts that you need to master in order to be high elo, in comparison to valorant. Having said that, neither game is easy and league is much harder then both of them

Ok, Let's see this! I EXPECT him to be out of position and making many mistakes! Maybe he will surprise me PS: I'm surprised that Awkward is correct! This guy is the standard healbottting I don't believe this! 12:57 Wtf is this? This is the worst Kiriko play ever!!! For about 1 minute he is doing nothing!!!🤦🏾‍♂️ At least his sleeps are amazing

Coming back on season 10? ouch

this video was def fun to watch! you got a new sub

Now I've been playing ow2 for almost a year and my aim is ass, how do I get gud 😢

Super well-made video, amazing voice, funny and entertaining content, hope this shit gets big bro 🙏
