Ascent was the 4th map added to the game (Picture: Riot Games)<\/span><\/p>\n
Still, four maps wouldn’t be the worse thing in the world, if players weren’t finding themselves playing the same map over and over again<\/a> despite the odds – but that is exactly what is happening and it’s led some to believe that it isn’t a random system at all.<\/p>\n Thankfully for frustrated players, the developers have now acknowledged the existence of the problem and they say they are working hard on getting to the bottom of the issue and providing a solution.<\/p>\n Joseph Ziegler, Valorant’s Game Director, shared on Twitter that they are working on a solution “to make the map selector less likely to RNG you into the same map over and over”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For everyone having a rough night where you get the same map too many times in a row: We’re working on a solution to make the map selector less likely to RNG you into the same map over and over.<\/p>\n — Ziegler (@RiotZiegler) September 10, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n While many think that this is “just bad luck” and that it will be fixed with the addition of new maps later, some are proposing relatively easy solutions to fix this kind of issue, that can work immediately.<\/p>\n Interestingly enough, one such proposal is coming from Anton “Zedd” Zaslavski, a famous Russian-born German DJ, who apparently plays Valorant as well.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Maybe there could be a max amount of times u can play a map in a row (maybe 3x max?) at which point a map-change is forced?<\/p>\n I personally like that you CAN’T pick a map (also keeps cue times shorter). It prevents people from 5-stacking and ranking up off of 1 individual map a bit<\/p>\n\n
