let me put it this way for you:
Valken is an entry level gun, as your first gun on a tight budget will do. This allows you to enjoy the sport while not worry if you gun stops working.

An average quality airsoft gun can go anywhere between 350 to 600, not to mention the upgrades. You can pick up a Valken for 150 to 200.

For most experienced players Valken is a piece of .... . They would prefer reliable guns like VFC, G&G, krytac as they have a far less chance of failing during long games.

my opinion about cheap guns has not changes:
They are perfect for new players or those on tight budgets. They are also very good as loaner guns to give your friends during games. That being said, only your first gun should be that and not your future guns.
