Riot's been trying their best to take the crown from Blizzard, and with their recent acquisition from Microsoft, it looks like they won.

Valorant's five versus five gunfights are the strongest I've seen in a competitive FPS yet. No match is ever the same if you account its cast of colorful agents (and bad players). Overwatch was a fantastic game, but it was hampered by Blizzard's constant change in formula. Riot became consistent with its mechanics, and that's what I love about them.

There's still more room for improvement with this budding competitive shooter and Riot is well-equipped to handle the many changes it has to encounter in the future.
