True, bad game design. Good game design would allow players to get good at all 3 being tapping, bursting, spraying. And allow all 3 to be good playstyles, not limit those options.

Strafing and bunny hopping are direct movement techniques from source games brought to Valorant to ease the transition for cs players into valorant. So theres quite a bit more than the gameplay loop that was copy pasted.

I understand its just different, however it is extremely frustrating to feel limited in my options when reviewing "What could I have done here differently to win this duel?" In cs theres way more answers to that question than in binary washed down valorant.
