Why do the birthday balloons for the 1 year anniversary do not pop when you shoot or knife them? They should pop. The birthday cake should be destructible too.

I recently downloaded Valorant because I saw it and I thought it looked really interesting to play. But I honestly don’t know what to do. I was just wondering if anyone had some good beginner tips or things to mainly focus on to get better...

I don't follow the pro scene super closely in valorant, but I would expect the players ranked 1-10 to get offers or to already be on a team, but I don't see players like Horcus playing in pro matches. Am i missing something obvious?
