Even though great aim, map knowledge and movement do get rewarded in Valorant, it is the Agent abilities which "make it easier for people to play" according to Shroud.

The crucial difference comes down to abilities, and how much easier it is to pull something off, such as a well-placed some in Valorant compared to CS:GO. 

Shroud explains: "It's obvious enough when you play Brimstone or you play Omen. You push one button and you get this whole view." You then choose where to smoke, activating it on any part of the map.

This type of scenario is exactly why Valorant is easier than CS:GO. Shroud explains: "That right there can show you how the game is kinda dumbed down to make those lesser players be at the top faster."
