In Counter-Strike, good positioning and timings were praised. Someone peaking too much would get blamed.
But in Valorant, if you play for timings, or worse, if you flank (which offers map control, pivots for rotation), you'll get flamed by enemies but also by your own team.
In CS, every player needed to know meta lineups for smokes, and at higher level also for popflashes and mollies. But in Valorant, if you know 1 molly lineup and play your post-plant smart you'll get insulted ? I understand that Valorant lacks counterplay and that it's frustrating, but being called a sweaty nerd because I remember 1 lineup for each site on a few maps is funny to me since I knew around 5-6 smoke lineups on each map for CS:GO, multiple mollies and popflashes as well ..
