fgc will just forever be niche, which is the answer to OP "What went wrong?"
>multiplayer gives less control on your part, things happen beyond your control, people suck to deal withall true
and yet some people still rise to greatness regardless, it's not like every single valorant player is silver-gold
don't get me wrong your ponts are valid but in the grand scheme of things they don't matter
if you push pvp to its logical conclusion then fun and fulfillment take a backseat to winning and glory
and if your'e casual then none of these things matter either because it's just a game at the end of the day you know relax lol
also the upsets, comebacks, and drama you get with multiplayer will always outweigh its negatives, if anything it's the multiplayer games that are better to spectate, you really want to watch sonicfox body people for the upteenth time again?
