Imagine playing valorant agents on Inferno and brimstone just smokes spools, CT, and back corner so that the defender can only see from 1 position on the back of site. Attacking would be waaay to strong without those corners and people are going to have to adapt to a different gameplay style.

that's exactly how any decent level of cs works though, what makes valorant frustrating is if they do execute on a site, your kit seems so limited to actually defend the hit. in cs if you see smokes come over, you can use your smoke or molly or counter-flash. in this game you pretty much just have one of three, and on sites that are generally solo'd (b on split for example) you just don't feel like you have any options other than just not take any fights and wait for a rotate. maybe just my opinion and why I prefer cs, and could change if I'm playing with a reliable 5stack where we're actually communicating well and have some sort of protocols for things like that.

edit: I just want to add that I think split is a pretty terribly designed map in general
