‘Deadlock sums up everything I want in a game’: here’s why AverageJonas is leaving VALORANT behind

One of the staple figures in the VALORANT esports scene, AverageJonas announced today that the Norwegian will quit streaming Riot’s shooter title on all platforms and making his way to Valve’s third-person MOBA shooter, Deadlock. 

“…When the Sova nerfs hit me pretty hard, it was pretty tough to stay motivated, and also, the nature of the game being a tactical FPS is that it kinda limits the theory crafting you can do, compared to a game like DOTA,” AverageJonas said while also citing health reasons explaining his reason to switch to another title in a recent video. “I think I realized if I wanna do this for many years, I gotta focus on what makes me happy,” he said.
