Improving the game

I'm just starting a thread on what ideas could be implemented to improve Valorant, both as a player and a VCT enjoyer.
I legit think with the number of agents we have, having 2/3 agent pick bans for each map would be super entertaining to watch. The teams would have to adapt on the fly and play uncommon agents.

well if we talk purely about VCT, I think a graph like f1's AWS could help out. In F1 it shows tyre wear, predicted pitstop time, strategy, ERS output. in valorant it can show clutch probability, percentage of 5v4s won, etc. helps out newer fans and also helps with the database

In 5 years we can have an agent pb system

Absolutely not. Teams are already burning out mid season coming up with strats, now imagine they have to be prepared both for whether their opponent bans Viper or bans Sova on Icebox. Valorant is just not that kind of game.

For proplay I agree, for ranked I think it be pretty cool

What would be the point for ranked? Comps already don't mean shit, but now you want Reyna or Iso to be banned every other game because golds get tilted when an enemy drops more than 25?

I say this as someone who would be happier if I could ban Sova on every map.

nah nah nah, imagine you launch ranked to play your favourite agent and then he gets banned cuz some guy against you lost to the same agent in the previous game

Idk I think it forces you to learn different agents and avoids situations like iso where basically no one was having fun for like 2 weeks

people in ranked will do anything to farm RR, if you prevent them from letting them get what they want it kills the whole point of ranked. ''rise up the rankings, but you can only do it the correct way''

Anything exceedingly broken is only going to be around for like 1% of the game's history, and not worth the even less fun of someone getting their favorite agent banned randomly for the other 99%.

Also, "forcing" a random ranked player to learn a different agent is way overkill when something like 93% of the player base is below ascendant, where comps and agent pools really don't matter anyway.

Also true because I swear NA West is a ghost town in the morning queues and I'd never get to play Omen again after I hit one TP clip on a guy

people who cry about agents in hero games are pussies, unless it's a completely broken meta (I am looking at you, Brigitte)

agreed, especially in valorant where it really hasn't been an issue

pick/bans only make sense in games where there are direct counter picks to some characters and therefore you need to play like 5-7 heroes in your rotation for just one player

Biggest change I want is to make EVERY gamemode (aside from ranked, premier, unrated) to have NO RESTRICTION ON LEAVING MID-GAME. It's NOT a competitive environment, and the only reason you're playing these gamemodes are either to HAVE FUN or to warm up.

YOU SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR LEAVING A GAME BECAUSE "COMPETITIVE INTEGRITY" IF YOU'RE PLAYING PURELY CASUALLY. THIS MAKES NO SENSE.
