How is Valorant different than Overwatch 2?

While Valorant and Overwatch 2 are similar, both the titles are first-person shooters, and players pick Agents/Heroes with unique traits. Both games play out differently.

Valorant

Valorant takes a slow and tactical approach. It involves precise gunplay and synergy among the different Agents in the team to achieve the match's objective.

There are two teams - attackers and defenders. The attackers' job is to eliminate all the players before the timer runs out or get the Spike planted on a site and prevent it from being defused.

However, defenders must prevent the Spike from getting planted or eliminate all the enemy team members and defuse the Spike.


Overwatch 2

In Overwatch 2, there are various objective-based game modes where two teams of five players each compete by combining all the 'Hero' abilities. There are three main roles here - DPS, Support, and Tank.

Each role has defined responsibilities in the game, and their gameplay is limited to their role. While in Valorant, you cannot respawn until you are revived, in OW2, players can keep respawning after a set amount of time.

The game consists of guns blazing fast-paced action where players need to showcase their aiming skills along with quick movement and target tracking capabilities.


Valorant being a slow-paced game, it is recommended to go with a lower sensitivity as it allows for sharp and accurate movements to get those crucial headshots. In Overwatch 2, players can opt for a slightly higher sensitivity as they have to make fast movements with all the intense action going around.
