For those of you coming from LoL to Valorant, you need to understand, unlike in league, comebacks are super common in FPS games, even if you lose the first 8 rounds, you can still come back and win

I played over 3,000 hours In both league of legends and CSGO, and the biggest thing I notice in Valorant is that people coming from LoL aren't used to making a comeback frequently. In league, if you're 10 minutes in and it's 2 - 15, it's a pretty easy FF. That's because people scale with their xp and income, that at some point you're too far ahead to make it back into the game easily. While in a game like CSGO and Valorant, though there is a snowball, the games are so skill based that you can come back from anything. Having pistols vs rifles is a disadvantage but your skill does it all, you can win it pretty frequently. Some maps are attack side or defender sided so you may lose first half hard, but it's okay because you were playing weak side and now you can finish out strong side. The mentality of league players is seeping into Valorant because they aren't used to playing in a game that doesn't have high scaling. It's so odd that people think a game is over because they lost 4 rounds, as if now someone is "fed" but your economy only goes so high and it gives you an advantage but not anything crippling like when you feed a fiora. Someone being 25/4 is not fed, they have money but they're not all that much "stronger" in the same sense as League.
