Am I addicted to Valorant or is it really that fun?
I often find myself feeling bored or frustrated when playing valorant. I noticed that I don’t think I actually enjoy playing the game, so I started paying attention while I played and noticed I felt bored whether we were winning or losing. Sometimes I genuinely would have fun I think if I managed to pull off a cool stunt, get a clever clutch, or just get a lot of kills, but that doesn’t happen most of the time.
So why do I get the urge to play it everyday? Am I playing it for those 10% of games that I seem to actually enjoy or is this unhealthy? I feel like there are better things I could do with my time for sure and there are even better games I could play that I get a deeper sense of satisfaction out of playing, so yeah. Any advice would be appreciated.

happens to me too
my theory is that the reaso we play is because of those fun moments whether its a nice clip or goofying aro ud with friends
nevertheless, if you think you are addicted try taking a break, maybe go outside, explore, have fun with friends or try a different game
also the answer to if you could be using your time more wisely the obvious answer is yes. you could be studying ahead, doing more homework, finding a job, (im assuming your in hs/uni) but ultimatly its if you grow up satisfied with how you lived your "childhood" that matters
well it depends on what mode your playing. If ur playing comp every day non stop then yes ur addicted. but if u play unrated n other game modes just for fun then i think ur just playing for the sake of playing. ur just clicking on the play button without knowing why ur even clicking it. queuing comp and other gamemodes everyday is a totally diffrent problem. i dont think valo is even fun anymore. I play comp every single day cuz i just wanna rank up, but not for fun.
ngl i feel like thats not entirly right since i only play comp cuz i fid other gamemodes not fun because its not rewarding
as if theres no reason for me to try
mhm
comp is addicting
yea 100%
its very normal tho
cuz u just wanna rank up but its hard
depnds on ur mindset
ye
Thanks @eyeclouds and @jayy_aint_fucking_around.
I think I should play other games for awhile
The problem is I’ve taken multiple breaks but every time I take a break and come back to it I just feel like bingeing
Like two or three days I just want to play valorant all day
It feels like an addiction because I’ll get an urge and then open up the laptop and play and it feels like there’s no decision making process or actual desire there just a desire to satisfy the urge I don’t know
But I agree with this theory too
u just gotta find somthing else to fill that urge/desire
mhm
yea
