Famous streamer xQc shares his thoughts on Solo Leveling winning Anime of the Year
"It's just so boring like I don't get it... I also think that the art is sh*t... lazy"
Let's be real. The game is in the worst state it has ever been. Cheaters are running rampant. The game no longer prioritizes gunfights. It's an absolute util fest. This is the ONLY game that doesn't have a replay system. There are no new competitive rewards for grinding the game. All we get is the same gunbuddy, just with a different number on it.
Powercreeping agents are ruining the game. How the hell is Tejo still not nerfed? He shouldn't have been CREATED in the first place! Powercreeping agents are the reason why we have this util dump problem right now. I laugh my ass off when I watch VCT. Even the casters at times have no clue what the hell just happened because of the utils that were being thrown all over the place.
People are 5-stacking to Radiant with low-ranked accounts like it's nothing. The battlepass is AWFUL, and the majority of people get it just to get the Radianite. Want to see a good battlepass? Go and look at Fortnite's or Marvel's.
Skins are expensive af, and some of them are not even that nice. And then we still need to get Radianite to unlock the variants and effects. The quality of the skins has also gone downhill, and they even reuse some of the animations from previous skins. Don't forget, at one point they were even promoting the cardboard bundle??
There's no actual new gamemode or features that the player will actually use or appreciate. All we get is skin...skin...skin...skin. Oh, we got a new cosmetic! Here's flex! Skin skin skin skin, oh! We got a new feature! Skin gifting! It's all about things that would only make them more money. Nothing about actually improving the state of the damn game.
There's no new content added for the casual playerbase. Being a content creator for this game is depressing, and it's no wonder why so many have left. And it's no wonder why content creators resort to doing stupid challenges like "Iron to Radiant," "Iron to Immortal" series where they blatantly smurf to show off that they are insanely good at the game. Can we blame them, though? I mean, what other things can they do? There isn't anything else in the damn game.
Rito yap and yap and yap so many times with their words and yet nothing happens. Actions speak louder than words, so we'll just see.
With all due respect, I apologize if this crashout seems mean or hurtful, but I want the game to succeed, and I hope things change or else this game will continue to die. I predicted last year that this year this game would fall, and so far with the current state it is in, I'm right. But I hope Riot proves me wrong.

Respectfully these vids are so full of shit every time. “We hear you, u inspire us” this and that. Clearly u dont hear shit. All talk no action. The game is at its worst state ever and all the company cares about is skins, vct, skins, skins, vct, more skins, vct, MORE SKINS. Even the new gifting feature is ABOUT GIFTING SKINSSSS and taking ur money.
Where is the focus towards actual ranked gameplay? Map selections? Game modes? New rewards for players? Events? Replay system? ANYTHING to freshen up ranked? No no TAKE MORE SKINS AND GIVE ME MONEY!!
Look at the state of marvel rivals and its only been out for months. Get in the range whilst in q, replay system, ban heroes, spectating players in ur friends list, the list goes on and one.
Meanwhile in Valorant, u cant even get in the range while being in q.
This game is fucking dying by the hands of its creators.
I’m going to be taking off the rest of the 2025 VCT season to rest up and recharge. I may return to competing again in the future but that isn’t something I’m putting much thought into right now.
2024 was a very busy year for me. I relocated to EMEA for bootcamp just days after GC Champs ended and that grind has been catching up to me. I’ve also been dealing with some personal and family emergencies through Kick/off and Split 1. My teammates have been very supportive of me during this time but I want them to be able to focus on Split 2 without any interruptions.
This was very much my decision and not that of Apeks, our coaching staff, etc. Several other VCT teams even showed interest in buying out my contract these last couple weeks and Apeks told me I could explore those options for Split 2 if anything made me happy and allowed me to continue competing. I’m sharing this because I’d really like to ask the community and fans to avoid directing negative comments toward Apeks. They really did prioritize my happiness and career in every decision they’ve made this year.
The relocation to EMEA was very challenging and I didn’t always feel at home while in Germany but I want to quickly thank Apeks management and my teammates who all welcomed and supported me over the last few months. Also, thank you to Riot ops and the other pros in VCT EMEA who have all been really kind to me and go out of their way to make sure I’m doing well.
Girls are playing games now more than ever
You WILL see more of this
There are many talented young women out there who have the potential to be esports pros. And players like aramori will show them it’s possible and inspire them to compete
Congrats @Aramori_ 🎉
