The two heavy weapons in VALORANT are the Ares and the Odin. These machine guns have huge ammo capacity compared to the other guns in the game.

Sky Smoke is one of the most oppressive abilities in the game if used correc

Riot Games has made it explicitly clear that the game focuses heavily on gunplay more than it does the use of abilities. This means that the player with the better aim will win fights more than a player with better abilities. This is unlike Overwatch as the use of abilities is heavily encouraged. However, team composition is still key to winning rounds and having a team pick the right characters can be what determines a loss from a win.
