In the ever-evolving world of Valorant, with its expanding roster and the anticipated release of the new duelist ‘Iso,’ balance is paramount. Yet, players have one common wish: an agent ban system. One Agent seems to be the focal point of many players’ ban wishes as discussions continue.
Balancing an Expanding Roster
From its inception, Valorant has undergone significant changes, consistently adapting to maintain equilibrium and fairness. Despite Riot Games’ dedicated efforts to balance the game, some Agents naturally rise to the top, boasting higher pick rates than others. Reyna, renowned for her prowess as a duelist, has been a prominent figure in this category. Hence, when the topic of introducing a ban system arises, many players have her at the top of their list.
In a recent Reddit discussion on October 21, the Valorant community was asked about their potential ban choices if Riot ever implemented such a feature. The question read, “Say Riot adds a banning system where each team can ban one agent in a game. Which Agent do you think will get banned the most?”
Although there was a medley of responses, one name echoed louder than the rest: Reyna. Some users expressed sentiments such as, “If I could ban an agent I would literally for the rest of my life not have a Reyna in my matches,” emphasizing the fervent desire to exclude her from their gaming experience. Others echoed similar sentiments, underscoring the community’s shared feelings about her powerful presence in the game.
However, not everyone’s ban decision revolved around personal dislikes. Some players took a more strategic approach, considering the dynamics of specific maps and the impact of particular Agents on them. One user mused about the tranquility that would ensue without Viper on Breeze or Cypher on maps like Split and Bind.
The Future of Valorant Agent Ban System
While the idea of a pick-and-ban system promises an intriguing layer of strategy to Valorant, the introduction of such a feature seems distant. Until the Agent roster expands significantly, players will likely have to continue facing – or leveraging – the formidable prowess of Reyna.
