Renowned Valorant streamer Jonas "AverageJonas" Navarrete has announced his departure from Valorant to join Deadlock—a new MOBA-shooter from Valve. The Norwegian gained popularity through numerous guides on the agent Sova, but after a break due to health issues, he has decided to shift his focus.

Path to Popularity

AverageJonas began streaming Valorant during the beta test and quickly gained fame due to his unique playstyle and the positive atmosphere of his streams. His guides and tips for playing Sova earned him recognition among fans of the game.

However, in recent years, AverageJonas has faced motivation issues, particularly after significant nerfs to his favorite agents. In November 2023, he discussed the increasing number of content creators leaving Valorant and shared his positive perspective on the game despite the difficulties.

Motivation Issues and Medical Breaks

Not long ago, medical issues forced him to take a break from streaming Valorant, during which he delved into Dota 2. Now, with the official announcement of Deadlock, Jonas has decided to switch to a new project. In his announcement video, he revealed that he is fully leaving the Riot Games shooter and will focus on Deadlock, which offers more opportunities and a fresh perspective on the new genre.

In the future, AverageJonas will regularly post content related to Deadlock on his channels, including guides and stream recordings.
