5 Things Valorant Needs In 2022

1-5

These things could make the game so much better!

Szymon Bielawski Szymon Bielawski

Tournament modeeee

Tournament Mode

Implementing a tournament mode into the game could solve a big part of all the Ranked Play problems. You could 5-stack without losing RR for it, pick/ban maps, and most importantly – play for higher stakes than just rank. Riot isn't able to change too much to Ranked Play – otherwise, they could scare off casuals – so creating a separate competitive mode could significantly increase the possibilities for game developers. And besides, people love to compete, so giving them an extra opportunity to do so would undoubtedly be welcomed by the community. | © Riot Games

Valorant Champions Esports

More Esports

Speaking of competing – we want more esports. Like, much more esports. Riot has done an outstanding job when it comes to preparing the competitive scene and official tournaments, but that's exactly why we want more of it, and we're sure you do too. At this year's Valorant World Championships, the average viewership was around 470,000, and the peaks were as high as 1,089,068 (during the Gambit vs. Acend final). Keep in mind that we're talking about a year-old game here. | © Riot Games

Valorant Mobile Leak

Mobile & Console Versions

Who wouldn't want to play a game of Spike Rush on the subway to school or work? Look, we're guessing that the mobile version wouldn't even be close to the PC version, and that's not where we expect any big esports leagues to come from. Still, releasing the game on additional platforms would significantly increase the player base growth and give us an entirely different perspective on the game. Aren't you curious how the meta would look like on other platforms? Luckily, there are some leaks that both mobile and console versions are currently in development, so we hope to see both of them soon. | © Riot Games

Minima ares

Frequent Balance Changes

When we're saying balance changes, we don't just mean changes to Agents, but also to weapons and maps. For example, we now experience an Ares meta, and honestly, even though it's kind of weird, it gives a fresh feeling to the game (enjoy it while you can because we don't think it will last long). But still, how much can you play Vandal and Phantom over and over again, right? Also, as far as we know, Riot is planning some big Agent reworks for 2022, like the one for Yoru, and we love it. With the increasing power creep of the game, appropriate balance changes are a must; after all, what are all those Phoenix and Brimstone mains supposed to do? | © Riot Games

Valorant Cheaters 2022

Less Cheaters & Smurfs

Finally, let's talk about two groups of people no one likes – cheaters & smurfs, aka players who can't play at their level and therefore want to make the game worse for others. We realize that such people will always exist, and there are still far fewer of them than in other shooters, but as the popularity of the game increases, we feel that Riot should do a better job of protecting Ranked Play from them. They managed to cut the number of AFK players in half last year, and if they could do the same with cheaters and smurfs in 2022, we'd be super happy. | © Riot Games

1-5

2021 will always be a landmark year in Valorant history. Despite a global pandemic that negatively impacted the game development industry, Riot managed to develop their tactical shooter game to the point where today we can call it a slayer of Overwatch and a worthy competitor to CS:GO.

But even though we enjoyed Valorant so much last year, we're still waiting for many features to be added to the game, and probably each of you has some of your personal suggestions in that matter. We have chosen 5 that are the most talked about and which, when added to the game in a stable form, will certainly make Valorant go to an even higher level.
