Is Valorant ACTUALLY Pay To Win?

The fact is, people seem to really love Valorant. It offers players a much more digestible introduction into the tactical FPS genre than, say, Counter-Strike. But, just like most games, Valorant is filled with various cosmetic microtransactions. From player cards, to gun buddies, and even gun skins, players are able to express themselves in a number of different ways. But there’s something odd about Valorant’s gun skins in particular. You see, for some weird reason, the community thinks that they’re pay to win. So why is it that so many pro players, content creators and even casual players, all agree on this point? Hell, even Valorant’s devs are playing along, but is there any truth behind this ridiculous claim?
