Potential changes (welcome to add)

-Reduce the inaccuracy of no-scoping and quick scoping, making the op more viable close range/

-Bruh where is the cascade picking we were promised? It also should be based on class and not character.

-Replay and Spectating, enough said.

-More community tool to help with lineups, no lineup nerd myself but its quality of life/

-More servers across the world, I feel for the SA player. For myself I would really prefer a server in NY or Boston and Toronto.

-Region lock should be removed, its honestly pointless. There should be an option for people to choose if they want to queue into other regions or lock the queue to only domestic. Its quite a content farm already and would increase global engagement for me.

-Team specific buddies/cards/voice-lines/skins

-In game spectating of Pro play, in-game schedule, in-game pick'ems, spectating the pros, maybe even working VLR into the game (KEKW) DOTA would be a good example of working the Esport into the game.

-Since the replay system is added, riot can add more feature regarding reporting players where you can pin point where in the VOD it happened.

-Better rewards for Premier
I would like people to add their own takes, but since its the first time I am writing a thread I would appreciate discussion pertaining to the ideas already proposed too.

-Community voting on skins, I REALLY want an update to Sentinel of light, for me the only truly great variation is the default.

-More ways to raise funds for VCT, the skins are just the surface, make the BP more interesting and exclusive, pick'ems and such. Or if the team you supported won you can receive a special buddy (ties into team skins)

-Make the vandal have the same first-shot accuracy as the Phantom, I NEVER fucking understood why its less accurate, maybe makes it so it does more wall bang damage, I know its in a good spot (recall when everybody used to use phantom) but this is always a pet-peeve.

-Side specific load out would be nice.

-this might be controversial, but make Immortal+ 5-stack restricted, I know and heard and seen people 5 stack with silvers/irons. Only have them stack up to diamond/Ascendant.

-Rank rewards, just the buddy seems rather flimsy.

16 rounds instead of 13

Tbf I do realize none of these are original (Siege, CS, DOTA) but a good idea is a good idea. 12 rounds and 12 to win seems better and shorter game time plus the economy, the agents and the maps. Its tangential but I feel like the core gameplay of VALORANT is fine.

why 16 ? because cs 16 also ? why not 18 or 20

with most of the map being heavily one sided it feels like if you win both pistols, you'd pretty much guaranteed to win the map unless you're choking

18-20 is way too long, 12 is right for me and 16 is right for many, 18-20 is always overtime. If an average round is 1 minute, then 18 to win (Lets say 18-12 is already 30 minutes. CS used to have Max Round 12 too, yeah they did introduce it in 1.5/1.6.

Well yeah, you are supposed to be rewarded for winning both pistol. I don't know about most maps being heavily one-sided, I actually rarely feel like I win way more on one side or another. We should find statistics but my opinion is that yeah of courses you have to choke to not win with both pistols.

• increase inaccuracy of weapons while running.
• improve first shot accuracy of the vandal (shot spread from .25 to .2 or .22)
• introduce spray patterns

Agree with first two, don' think spray pattern is necessary, in this game if you can't kill someone in (being generous) 8 bullets then you have already whiffed and is probably dead. They could do the 1.6 route and make it 1 of 12 patterns each time but I don't feel like valorant should be a spray game.

I want to be able to spectate specific players during pro-play
Like
Have your cinematic observers AND 10 observers spectating specific players. I wanna be able to watch the rounds from different povs, or see it from a Pros eyes only. Maybe also an observer that watches from an above angle showing the whole map, or a stream with a more detailed minimap

So like player only stream? You only see their POV?

• No CS did this and it was broken
• Shouldnt be based on class bc you are breaking team comp variety as there will probably be role lock which is shit
• Yes
• Very nice but it costs too much to maintain many servers 24/7
• No I don't wanna play with people who have more than 150 ping
• Yes and it's confirmed
• Could be cool
• Sure why not
• They will probably add since it's just the beta
• Depends
• I think skins are enough as funds for VCT, they raised more than 1 million dollars in its second iteration
• Literary taking one of the advantages of the phantom away
• Sure why not
• YES PLEASE
• Also very nice

1. They actually never added in accuracy penalty for no scoping and quick scoping, before the reduction in bullets the only nerf was to movement speed scoped in which really fucked over KennyS, I don't think it would be as broken as you are sniping against jett/raze/breach/skye.
2. You are right, but there HAS to be someway to stop duelist instalocks. Maybe make it role based, say you play duelist twice or more and its locked until you fill.
   Alternatively, you could make filling more rewarding by just having you lose less rr and win more (slightly, 2-4).
3. This is a choice, you can CHOOSE to play with them or not, its like an open queue if you want to or just close it and play regularly.
4. The Phantom still has a lot going for it, the speed, the silencer, the magazine capacity... I just find it EXTREMELY annoying that its not as accurate though I never feel like my bullet is missing but I have seen clips. For a gun that supposedly prioritize accuracy its somehow less accurate than the "spam" gun, it just doesn't make any sense at all.

I really appreciate actually going over every point though.
