Upcoming Competitive Changes for High-Rank VALORANT Players
In exciting news for high-rank VALORANT players, there are some upcoming changes that could enhance the competitive experience in the game. These changes, discussed in the latest VALORANT Dev Diaries video, are set to debut with the launch of Episode two. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Public Region-Based Leaderboard
A leaderboard system will be introduced, providing more incentive for Radiant players to continue their grind after reaching the highest rank. This system will resemble the one used in League of Legends, where players can move up or down the ladder based on their wins and losses, accumulating points along the way.
2. Queue Size Restrictions
In order to create fairer matchmaking and improve the overall experience, Riot is planning to reduce queue sizes for high ranks. This means that players at Immortal ranks and above will be limited to solo and duo only, resulting in a smaller player pool.
These exciting features are expected to be implemented early next year with the launch of Episode two. Players can look forward to a more competitive and rewarding experience in VALORANT.
Additionally, Riot has announced that it will be tightening restrictions on rank disparity starting next week with Act III. Previously, players could queue with friends within six ranks of their own. However, this limit will now be reduced to three ranks, ensuring a more balanced matchmaking system.
Stay tuned for more updates on these upcoming changes and get ready to take your VALORANT gameplay to the next level!
