Everyone starts there. The trouble is that VALORANT hides half its difficulty inside agent kits, and the wrong pick buries a new player under lineups they have no business learning yet.

You break traction deliberately, then spend the rest of the corner managing a car that is technically out of control but going exactly where you intended. That is genuinely hard to simulate, and it’s why so many drift games feel wrong in one [...]
