VALORANT players feel the game has lost its spark due to ‘incredibly stale’ map rotations

VALORANT players this week are fed up with the game’s map rotations and feel Riot Games is doing more harm than good by cycling through older maps. Some are tired of playing the same maps back to back, while others want casual modes to offer the game’s “inactive” map pool.

VALORANT players discussed concerns with the current map pool in an April 20 post on Reddit. The map pool was last tweaked at the start of the first act of Episode Eight on Jan. 9, 2024. You can queue into any of the seven maps randomly across VALORANT’s game modes but players aren’t given the option to choose the map they wish to play, while maps not in the current pool remain hidden from sight altogether.
