In this day and age the world demands us to be multitaskers, so we can do many jobs at once. To be a multitasker you need a quick mind to respond, get strategy and have good eye awareness. Sadly, none of us are born with these skills, and learning it seems to be a scary idea. However, it doesn’t have to be scary. One of the fun solutions is playing Valorant, a first person shooting game. But how does a game teach you all of these? Let`s explore what Valorant has to offer.
What is valorant?
VALORANT is a shooting game developed and published by Riot Games, released on June 2, 2020. We can play this game in Computer or Laptop.
In the game, your character shoots the enemies until the last player standing. This game requires strategy and cooperation to win.
Learning Strategy
The first benefit of playing Valorant is: you’re learning strategy. In Valorant, you must listen to the team, be cooperative and pay attention to the team - if we can’t do that, we won’t win. A lot of these strategies can be used in real life. We can use these skills to study better, doing sports, or school-group projects like science projects. With good strategy training from Valorant, we are able to know how to divide our time between projects, being diligent and being a team player.
Improving Reflexes
Now, to the second benefit of playing Valorant: improving our reflexes. In Valorant everything depends on timing - if we are too fast we miss our shot. Too slow, we got caught by the enemy. It’s all having a reflex so we can get the timing right. By playing you can increase your response timing. Valorant also needs the speed of our hand and mind to take down the enemy faster. This is useful in sports, exercising, and even everyday physical activities.
Improving focus
Finally, playing Valorant improves our focus. To be able to shoot our enemy, valorant makes us focus on one point, and to do that, you need clear eyes to see distant enemies. You also have to be careful because if you are distracted, you can be shot by enemies. By focusing, you will get less distraction. This is useful in real life because even though we multitask we still need to focus. We need to make sure the job is done without distraction.
Conclusion
In conclusion, playing valorant has benefits; not only for entertainment, but also for our body and mind. Playing it gives you a good strategy for making decisions, good reflexes, and good focus to help us with our life and multitasking. If we can carry what we’ve learnt in Valorant to our real life, we surely will improve.
