Ranked mode to be soon introduced to VALORANT
After the players were finally provided with the FPS game that is meeting most of their expectations, some of the people in the community started to wonder when a ranked game mode will be introduced to VALORANT. The players that aim to play on the highest level of the competition have tried to poke the developers with this question on various social media platforms and some of them were lucky enough to get an answer.
The Design Director, Joe “Ziggs” Ziegler, has made a small sneak peek about the ranked mode on April 10th, 2020 by responding to one of the Twitter users: “Our first “rated” testing is coming in a couple weeks, stay tuned.”
A week after this situation, another Twitter user has decided to give this question to both Joe Ziegler, as well as the Product Manager, Anna “SuperCakes” Donlon.
Same as before, Ziegler said the testing will start in a few weeks from now, and that they will be ready for the launch of the rated mode only when they will be confident that everything is working as intended.
What’s more, Anna Donlon also responded in the same thread and replied similar to the way Ziegler did, but she also mentioned that we should expect this mode to come still during the closed beta phase: “Rated is coming. We're working out some issues first, but it will be live during CB. No date just yet.”
Apparently, this is still a bit questionable as Ziegler responded to Donlon in another post with a simple message - “Jinx”.
As we know, the beta period will last till summer and despite the fact that we are not sure how much time before the official release of the game, we can assume that the rated game mode is something the developers will want to try while the game is still unfinished and in the testing phase. Seeing how Riot Games is focused on the competitive community and the esports scene we can say it might be one of the most important features that they will want to pay attention to after fixing all of the discovered bugs and issues in the game right now.
The first information about the coming ranked mode was revealed on April 3rd, 2020 during the pre-premiere of VALORANT that took place on Twitch on the same day. You can read about it in this article, as well as get to know about all of the eight VALORANT ranks.
