Few things are dividing the Valorant community at the moment than the state of the Operator – with some claiming that the one-shot kill bolt action sniper, in it’s current state, is too powerful, while others feel the gun rewards those with the aim and temperament to use it.<\/p>\n
The debate has reached into the upper echelons of the game, with the “double OP meta”, running two operators when they are available becoming a common sight in high-level games. It’s a part of the game that Michael “shroud” Grzieak takes issue with<\/a>, explaining that unlike in CS:GO where anyone can carry the flash, mollys and smoke grenades that can help negate the strength of the Operator (or AWP in Counter-Strike’s case), in Valorant only a few Agents have these abilities at their disposal.<\/p>\n Possible nerfs have included an increase in price, making them a rarer commodity, or in Cloud9’s Tyson “TenZ” Ngo’s opinion the Operator and Marshall should make a sound that could alert opponents<\/a> when they are being zoomed in.<\/p>\n Valorant’s developers aren’t unaware of the debate within the community and on 27th August, tackled the matter head-on in their “Ask Valorant” blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
