    VALORANT Expanding Our Ruleset: Third Time's the Charm

    VALORANT Expanding Our Ruleset: Third Time's the Charm


    Expanding Our Ruleset: Third Time's the Charm

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 12:36 PM PDT

    Hello everyone! I hope some of you have had the chance to leave ideas for the subreddit on our Feedback Thread. If you haven't, it is something we still encourage users to check out. Based off some community feedback we will be addressing some new rules/additions.

    These rules will not count retroactively, any posts that are currently up will not be removed under these rules, only posts created after this announcement will be enforced under these rules.

    Firstly, we are implementing a 100 character minimum for all text posts. We have noticed that the majority of posts with low word count fall under our "no low-effort" rule. This rule is aimed at creating more meaningful discussions by requiring users to go a little more in depth with their topic by being more descriptive.

    This rule will be an addition to our current "No low-effort submissions" rule:

    All text submissions must have a 100 character minimum in the body text. Posts that only consist of short title references like "Title", "That is all", "^", etc will be removed.


    We've noticed a lot of cases where there has been confusion regarding the application of some of our rules. We have made a few clarifications regarding Direct Address, Private Individuals, and Spam/Self-Promotion to hopefully make them clearer.

    With our direct address rule, there have been many occasions where users do not know why their post was removed. This subreddit is designed for users to talk with the community and not a forum to directly talk to Riot. This rule is specifically meant to target posts such as "Dear Riot, Please add ____ to the game", but there are still more subtle ways to directly address Riot that we will remove posts for. Riot is active in the community and will often comment on a thread. We are currently working on finding a good way to highlight Riot responses on threads while also allowing them the freedom to casually interact and not feel the need to always answer with a "professional" response.

    This rule will be an addition to our current "No Direct Address" rule:

    Some common words and phrases that are considered direct address include: "Please add/change/fix" and "Can we add/get/fix."


    In our previous set of new rules, we introduced the concept of private individuals and banned posts explicitly calling out such individuals. Given that there was some (admittedly understandable) confusion about who qualifies as a private individual, we will be adding the following section to our current Private Individuals rule:

    Private individuals are those who do not place themselves in public view by way of content creation or media presence. This could include methods such as videos, articles, humor, etc.

    An important consequence of this definition is that high elo players (even Radiant players) are also classified as private individuals, unless they stream/create videos/etc. This means that posts calling out high elo players must be censored unless they are public individuals.

    As a reminder, this subreddit is not the place to report some random cheater in your ranked games. If you encounter a cheater in any rank, you can report them using the in-game report feature as well as creating a ticket at Riot support with proof of said cheater.


    Our spam/self-promotion rule has previously been laid out in terms of percentages, but, we've decided to move from the current vague definition of 10% to the following "Spam/Self-Promotion" rule:

    Do not spam; no more than 3/25 of your last submissions on Reddit should be self-promoting content.

    Excessive spam is not allowed. Self-promotion is allowed as long as the content is relevant to VALORANT and does not break one of the other rules. You may only self-promote if at least 23 of your last 25 posts/comments are organic discussion on all of Reddit.

    This change creates a slightly less strict ratio as well as hopefully makes it clearer for users to know when they are breaking the rule.


    On a special note, the mod team wanted to give thanks to users /u/PK_Fr33Z3 and /u/Vacre. They are responsible for the new subreddit icon and we are excited to see more community work!

    Cipher Buff ideas

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 03:35 AM PDT

    1. Why only one camera? He should be prepared for all situations, therefore have backups. Give him 5 cameras so he has one for each enemy.

    2. Tripwires should be make out of vibranium, and instantly kill anyone who steps in them.

    3. Ciphers ult should not only scan the whole team, but make them scanned permanently. Cipher is an absolute chad and would think that a longer scan is better.

    4. His hat should block headshots. Have you ever shot someone in the head who was wearing a sick hat? I hope not because that's murder but that's not the point. Ciphers epic spy hat should render him immune to headshots.

    Why Sage is strong

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 07:16 AM PDT

    Riot Morello told us that they are planning on nerfing Sage AGAIN. But IMO, she is only almost a must pick not because she is such a super strong staller, but because she is the only staller currently in the game. No other character in the game has so much denial in their kit compared to Sage.

    Like imagine if League only had 1 support, Soraka. Ofcourse she will be a must pick. There are no other supports. Same with marksmen, imagine if all the adcs got deleted from the game even Yasuo, but they left Vayne. Ofcourse Vayne will be a must pick with high winrate. She is the only marksman option.

    I think Valorant is in a similar situation. You have Brimstone and Omen for smokes, Sova and Cypher for vision. Sage is like the only one in the staller department.

    Luckily they atleast realize that Sage's heals are balanced. But Im wondering how they will nerf Sage again.

    As someone who just finished the battle pass, it takes too long

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 12:22 AM PDT

    I've played this game way more than I should have this season. We're in COVID lockdown at the moment, but/and normally this would be way to much time playing the game. I know that the XP from challenges gets bigger in the last few weeks, that doesn't feel like a nice way to try and balance it though. We're only a few weeks out from the end.

    It would be really nice to have smth like x2 XP weekend

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 12:08 AM PDT

    Knowing that battle pass is really grindy and time consuming, having something like this would really help some folks to complete it or just get a few bars free until the end of the Act: 1

    Just a suggestion.

    This game desperately needs a mode where you can join and leave freely like csgo casual

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 11:51 AM PDT

    I've stopped playing recently because of how often i get people who AFK or throw. Its annoying to commit 40 minutes to a game with that and I can't find a different lobby or anything. In csgo if I play casual, I can hop in and out of lobbies as I please. It actually feels casual. Valorant doesn't have that. Even casual feels like ranked without a rank because we have to commit to the whole full length game. I really think a true casual mode like csgo would help prevent the AFK and grief issues.

    We should have the option to undo the upgrades that we put to our weapons

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 06:49 AM PDT

    So recently i just bought the elderflame melee and basically straight up ugraded it and grew bored of the flames. I want to undo the upgrades and bring it back to the base level. I really hope that the devs could consider this and make it available to us.

    More Wallpapers!

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 07:15 AM PDT

    Some of you may have seen my previous post, but for those who didn't

    I'm making wallpapers from the key art of each character. I have:

    Omen
    Sova
    Cypher
    Phoenix
    Viper

    Planning on doing breach and raze next, I'll post them once they are finished!

    Here's a download link with different sizes.

    why does it feels like iron, bronze, silve, gold and some times plat are the same thing?

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 08:01 AM PDT

    yes i have been in those ranke a lot of times, its like a loop, and from my experience in this, i have to say that my team mates are the same thing every single time, some times i see bronzes that have a better aim and more game sense than plats, some times i see silvers that doesnt miss a hs and hard carry a game with plats, or idk its just my mmr too low.

    Apparently If you use Phoenix ultimate when you are falling from training area you have a possibility to stay on a invisible floor down the map lol

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 11:34 AM PDT

    Riot mentioned that viper will be buffed so here are my thoughts

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 10:13 AM PDT

    I play a lot of Viper and I think the biggest issue/ buff she really needs has to do with her ult, because currently, it feels incredibly unwieldy. It would be nice if it actually covered its entire radius all the time and not stopping because of random terrain and weird environmental interactions that mess with its radius. But more importantly, what I think her ult REALLY needs is a quality of life change! Ie, when you are casting it and when it is active, it should SHOW allies the radius that it covers on the map. Because a lot of times when I cast the ult, only God knows what dimensions the ult covers. This fact alone makes Viper's ult INCREDIBLY difficult for you and your team to play around because no one has any idea what angles are being covered by it and what isn't. And that is my opinion why Viper's ult is a lot of the time is not considered very beneficial to your team.

    But if Riot thinks the quality of life improvements to Viper's ult isn't enough for whatever reason, it would be nice if the damage on Viper's wall becomes more noticeable. Due to the nature of how decay damage works and how thin/ short of a time enemies are in the wall before they pass through it... Her wall might as well not have any decay because it is that non-noticeable.

    People without the ability to talk in-game should primarily be matched with each other.

    Posted: 18 Jul 2020 09:56 AM PDT

    Especially when they are not connected to VoIP so they can't even hear others, not just not being able to talk.

    LPT: If you want sage on your team, don't instalock an agent and tell your teammates to play sage

    Posted: 17 Jul 2020 03:35 PM PDT

    Half of my ranked games people who instalock an agent demand their teammates who haven't picked yet to play sage. You want your teammates to play an agent they are comfortable with, not one they do not have practice with. I've seen several scenarios where players are pressured into playing sage and end up not doing well.

    Edit: Holy thanks for the gold kind stranger, my first one! Also everyone saying this is posted before doesn't stop people from doing it, sometimes people just need reminders. Three out of my past five games someone has done this.
