The Escaping French
In the world of Valorant, even the servers have their stories. As user ‘CheeseLoverMax’ states, French players make a beeline for English servers. Seemingly, the French does not find their native servers très bien. They play their game of hide and seek, spreading their ‘toxicness’ elsewhere, per CheeseLoverMax’s astute finding.
International Server Struggles
Turns out, the English servers aren’t alone in their polyglot predicament. Kidthesquid92 reveals that the Stockholm servers also grapple with language chaos, thanks to the notable Russian player base. Comrades, assemble!
Language Layers of Strategy
Rottenpotatoes2, a proud Canadian, employs a quirky strategy – exploiting the language barrier to his advantage. Armed with French to ‘scare the Americans’ and learning Arabic to up the ante, he captures the essence of a multi-lingual match in Valorant.
Liveliness of Languages
Although language barriers can be a headache, Dankie_Spankie finds a silver lining. English can unite European players, and sometimes, being an onlooker to exciting French or Russian tactical chatter can fill matches with intriguing international flavour, akin to watching a polyglot swat team in action.
A tongue-in-cheek commentary on the trials and tribulations (or perhaps, tribulations and trials) of international gaming in Valorant where accented calls make for an amusing, sometimes confusing, battle experience. Maybe just learn French? As Yrugay-throwaway cheekily suggests, it’s just a ‘skill issue’.
