VALORANT players have no idea why this key mechanic still doesn’t add to your combat score
One VALORANT player believes that planting and defusing the spike should be included in your combat score, and it’s sparked a heated debate across the fandom.
On March 21, one gamer shared their opinion on Reddit—planting the spike impacts your ability to get kills, and therefore, should be taken into consideration. They argued that planting and defusing are inherently “risky” despite not really being combat related, thus spurring a back-and-forth between other VALORANT players in the community.
