Recently, on an Ask Valorant thread, Riot Games revealed that it will be finally adding a certain feature that players have been asking for a long time. Ever since the inception of the game, the player community has been asking for a replay feature in the game. The replay feature will be something similar to the ‘killcam’ feature of the Call of Duty titles. This not only shows the player how the opponent got him/her but also allows players to learn from it.
Valorant's replay system is still in early development.

Now, this is true that the title features gameplay elements from both. The title has been quick in building a loyal player base for itself. This has happened mainly because the devs at Riot have been all ears for whatever complaint the player base has had. This is something the fans have never seen in the case of, say, CS: GO. Furthermore, Valorant is currently one of the only titles with an effective anti-cheat system (looking at you, Warzone).
The layout of the new maps indicates that the devs are trying to introduce more variety in the gameplay. While the previous maps featured straightforward lane structures, the new maps feature more versatility in their layout. Overall, it will be safe to say that the title has come to a good place by its own merit, and offered something fresh to the players.
