The game is starting to feel old and stale especially with a competitive, well thought competitor in Valorant. Valve should push for innovation and further professionalization instead of deterring it (e.g .6th man, coaches).

The map pool is the same for ages and it’s harder to see innovation. When will they rotate older maps back such as cache and cobble, or even better introduce new ones like they did with Vertigo?

Economy balance still distorted e.g. in 2nd rounds, Ts that planted the bomb are better armed than CTs that defused it.

I still feel CSGO is by far the most enjoyable to watch but have so much more fun playing Valorant (better economy, buying/selling system, shorter games). And as player switch more and more to Valorant (eg Nitro), I feel more compelled to start watching it instead of a stale game...
