- We are working on a "Act Based Tournament System" 1. If you win one of the tournaments during an act you get an invite to a "End Of Act" big tournament. 2. Team sizes of 5-7, we want you to be able to swap players between matches. This is all EARLY WIP(NO ETA)! Early Wireframe
- Ranked Fact Friday! When determining what map you will play, we look at every players last 5 games and choose the least played map. If you dodge a map, because it's your least played, you have a high chance to get it again! Plus you get -3 RR every time you dodge.
- An In-Game Competitive System!?!?! That connects the VCT with VALORANT?!?! Can't wait to share this system with you all at some point, we are working hard on it! I feel so lucky to be able to design this, the team has been working so hard iterating and building this beast!
- THERE IS A COMPETITIVE UPDATE IN #VALORANT 5.08!!!! We are capping the amount of Immortal+ players allowed on the leaderboard. You can still get Immortal, but depending on your region you may not be on the leaderboard if you aren't in the top group of players. Good Luck!!!!
- Happy New Ranked Season!!!!! Don't throw placements!!!! Your Leaderboard position is determined by your MMR. Placements are important to raising your MMR, throwing placements makes it harder to climb the leaderboard! It can be the difference between 50-300RR!!!! #VALORANT
- Ranked Fact Friday!!!!! Decay!!!!! Yes, we have decay, and it does two things. When you are gone from VALORANT for an extended period of we do lower your MMR.. We also increase your "Variance".
- I’m switching over to a new project to take on new challenges! I’m now a Combat Designer in R&D at Riot. I'll still be around social media! You all will always be my VALORANTine, thank you for making my time on VALORANT the best it could be <3
- Replying to @JakeSuckyEscalating this. Not only do Rioters escalate issues to player support for them to review, we also have a team dedicated to tackling toxicity. It's a constant battle, we are always learning, and we will always fight for VALORANT to be a positive space.
- If you have an insane game people call you a smurf; have a bad game people yell "boosted". Instead of distilling people down to that one match, and giving an emotional response, be positive and build each other up. Negativity isn't fun, and that's one of the main reasons we play.
- Ranked Fact Friday! Your RR points are determined by 4 things: 1. If you win/lose the match 2. The round differential - how hard you win or lose 3. Performance Bonus - your performance based on your MMR 4. A multiplier based on how far your MMR is from your rank!
- COMPETITIVE UPDATES! PATCH 6.0 #VALORANT You now converge rank to MMR faster and will be rewarded more for a good game OR penalized less for a loss where you performed well. This change is specifically when your MMR does not match your rank!(the first handful of matches usually)
