VALORANT Ranked Mode Coming Soon, Game Director Confirms
The game director of VALORANT, Joe Ziegler, has recently announced that the highly-anticipated ranked mode will be released sometime next week. This news has excited fans who have been waiting for the competitive mode since the game’s official launch.
Ziegler reassured players that the release will be stable and ready to go, as the development team will be focusing on ensuring its stability throughout this week.
In the Patch 1.0 notes, it was mentioned that while a ranked mode existed during the closed beta, the decision was made to delay its release. Riot’s main priority was to ensure stable servers and give new players a chance to familiarize themselves with the game before jumping into competitive matchmaking.
During the closed beta, players’ performance in unrated games affected their hidden matchmaking rating (MMR). This rating determined their opponents in placement matches and ultimately their rank. Although the exact details of ranked seeding in VALORANT’s official launch haven’t been revealed yet, it is expected to follow a similar principle.
The upcoming release of the ranked mode in VALORANT has been highly anticipated by the player community. It will add a competitive aspect to the game and allow players to test their skills against similarly skilled opponents.
Conclusion
VALORANT’s game director, Joe Ziegler, has confirmed that the ranked mode will be available next week. The delay in its release was to ensure server stability and give new players a chance to learn the game. The upcoming ranked mode will add a competitive element to VALORANT, allowing players to test their skills against others at their skill level.
