<\/p>\n It should be noted that Ascent was, for a short time after launch, statistically more likely to come up giving players a greater chance to play the game. Riot has confirmed that all maps now have a 25% of being picked<\/a> meaning if you are continually getting the same map, you have just been unlucky.<\/p>\n One way to combat this would be to give players the ability to choose maps, I mean CS:GO does it, and Valorant is basically CS:GO with even worse voice acting.<\/p>\n “One more win, then we’re goin’ out for drinks, lads!” Yes, please that Pheonix up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So yes CS:GO does do it, and Valorant is a newer game so perhaps it’s just another feature to be added further down the line? Well, according to Valorant’s Senior Producer, Ian Fielding, that isn’t the case.<\/p>\n In the bi-weekly “Ask Valorant” series which gives Riot the chance to answer some of the community’s most asked question<\/a>s, Fielding explained that in regards to match selection in competitive the increase in queue times could prove problematic, and there was also the issue that as you split up the player base effectively matching players based on their rank becomes more difficult, increasing the chance of mismatched teams facing off against each other.<\/p>\n “Given that, we currently don’t have plans to enable map specific selection for Matchmaking,” explained Fielding.<\/p>\n So that’s, that or is it?<\/p>\n Some players clearly feel that some system, any system is an improvement over the current one and that was largely the focus of the discussion on the Valorant subreddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n One suggested a system similar to that seen in Guild Wars 2, which allows players to select three maps which are then voted on by the lobby giving players some agency over the next match.<\/p>\n
