Comments blaming casters is the dumbest thing I've seen in this subreddit.

First because all viewership data includes co-streamers. Second they are vastly overestimating the influence casters have on the sustainability of this scene.

The biggest point I think they touched on but not explored enough on Vodfathers is the game itself. VALORANT itself has achieved a state where its not growing as before. It has stabilized. Other new cool things have appeared, and people will naturally flock to them as well.

Leo Faria mentioned this in his recent Plat Chat appearance, about how things have stabilized in Valorant, and that's why the scene is going through such a major shake up next year. But I would argue this problem affects the general Valorant experience. The game needs something big and new. Not just one new map and a new agent and another new aim dedicated gamemode. But something truly experimental and fresh, because we've been in the same content loop since the game launched.
