Just played my first game. Valorant is my first ever "economy" shooter. My first impressions:

So, I played Phoenix. Turns out he's someone that players consider a beginner-friendly character! Lucky me.

I wasted all my ults. My favorite was when I ulted, rounded a corner, got popped by a Cypher, rezzed, and he popped me again while I was brushing off my collar. I laughed my ass off at that.

I flashed myself three times, luckily it never killed me.

I killed someone with my E once, so that was cool.

The wall of fire, I used it a lot and never really did much with it.

I found myself trending towards using the heavy machine guns a bit more than anything else, I think Odin? Whatever the one with the 100-round mag is. Got several kills with it, which made me a happy lad.

I tried the snipers out over a couple of rounds and died horribly before I could get more than a single kill.

Over the first couple of rounds, I liked using the silenced pistol. Seemed like a reliable close-mid range early game killer.

Armor seems important, but it gets shredded FAST.

TL;DR: Seems cool might play more.

PS: Any recommendations for guns/agents that suit the playstyle of someone who prefers to play mid-range with a splash of utility?
