Valorant's New Ranked System May Be Coming in August

Valorant May Have Reportedly Leaked an Upcoming Rank System

Valorant is one of the most successful games that has been released in 2020 and it is the first dedicated shooter by Riot Games, the studio behind League of Legends. Now, a new report suggests that the long-anticipated ranking system will be coming to the game in August. Just like roulette gaming, having a fair ranking system is very important to competitive players. For the best and fairest roulette options you can always go to roulette77schweiz.com, but it’s up to Valorant to make sure that the game meets the standards set out by the community and specifically competitive players.

Valorant’s Ranking System – A Hot Topic for Many

Since its release, Valorant players have been asking for the introduction of a dedicated ranking system. The system, many argued, would allow players to truly excel and enjoy the added benefit of improving their skill by way of comparing themselves to others.

The system that was introduced several weeks ago has been vastly criticized as unable to meet the expectations of players. However, there is some good news coming, as Riot Games has confirmed they are working on a new and improved ranking system instead.

According to Riot Games, and a new leak, the new ranking system should be a significant improvement on the current system, allowing players to progress through the levels in an adequate manner and to be more finely matched with people of their own skill rating.

ELO, the metric used to rank players in Riot Games’ products, is now visibly available, and Riot Games has confirmed that more changes are on the way to make the ranked system what everyone expects – a way to match evenly-skilled gamers.

How’s the New System Going to Work?

Competitive Valorant seems to be in good hands. According to Valorant Leaks, the new system will allow players’ ranks to progress Up and Down and each separate Rank will have 5 Sub Levels to allow for further fine-tuning of each player’s skill and abilities in the game.

The introduction of 5 Levels means that there are 2 Levels more than the current 3 and this may turn out to be a way to balance the game further. Of course, trying to adjust the skill level of hundreds of thousands, and even millions of players is a perpetual effort in most gaming communities.

Yet, Riot Games is not going to miss out on the opportunity to optimize the product that it offers to players fully. As the reported ranking system looks right now, it reminds players of the Hearthstone, StarCraft 2 and League of Legends ranking systems.

Some have suggested that the system is even closer to Heroes of the Storm, but HotS system is modelled after StarCraft 2 in the first place. Naturally, we will have to wait and see for a while before we can confirm that Valorant is actually getting its new and improved ranking system in August, but this seems like the most logical move right now.

There Are More Leaks about the Game

With Valorant modelled after Riot Games in terms of new champions (or in this case agents), players have been happy with some of the latest revelations about the game. The upcoming agent called Shatter is expected to have a clocking ability, giving him a very unique angle on the battlefield and indeed turning him into a threat to others.

The current system used to introduce agents to the game would be based on the so-called Acts. Each Act will last a few months, allowing players to get enough time playing the new Agents and actually mastering them.

Even if the community doesn’t want to play a specific agent, players can at least adapt to counter-acting the characters when they play against them. Riot Games wants to slowly build up Valorant to success and making adequate changes, such as a better-ranked system, is the right way forward.

Play’n GO has enjoyed a landmark 2024, breaking new ground by entering the South African market, as well as expanding its US presence into what is now five states.

Ebba Arnred, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Play’n GO, commented “We’re always very pleased to have our work recognised at the various awards throughout the year, but to win five in one fell swoop is almost unprecedented. It’s very special to be awarded Slot Supplier of the Year for a second year in a row, and RNG Casino Supplier of the Year is another well-received feather in our cap. We would like to thank 5 Star Media and the entire judging panel, as well as our entire team here at Play’n GO, without whom these award wins simply wouldn’t happen. On a personal level, I’d also like to express gratitude for the individual recognition of a 5 Star “Top 20” Award.”

Andrew Pink, Head of Brand and Communication at Play’n GO, said “Play’n GO’s driving ambition is to be the best entertainment supplier there is. Aside from producing some of the most played games and best loved characters in the world, that ambition is often realised by things largely unseen by those outside the company. It’s extremely gratifying for everyone at Play’n GO to be recognised as Slot Supplier of the Year. Next year may just be our biggest and best yet.”

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), founded in 1984, is the national federation for Board games, Card games, Esports, and Wargames.

MSSA promotes all the different disciplines equally, although each school may pick-and-choose which discipline it wishes to promote at its school. Some schools will promote the whole gambit, while others will concentrate on only one discipline, and/or even just concentrate on one specific title.

The choice is ultimately up to the school.

The various games offer unique opportunities to many South African learners. Many learners have been able to earn Regional, Provincial, and National Colours which have allowed them to earn bursaries and obtain first-class educations.

MSSA has sent teams with full Protea Colours to international events since 1991 for wargames, 1996 for Morabaraba, 1997 for Checkers, and 2005 for Esports. Many members of the national teams have been scholars, and all have benefited from their involvement in the national Protea Team.

With the above in mind the MSSA has streamlined the process for schools to affiliate to the MSSA.

There is still the option open for a school to start a full-blown sub-club on its premises, but bearing in mind the tight regulatory conditions under which accredited schools have to operate in the Republic, the MSSA no longer deems it necessary for a school to start a sub-club.

As long as the school club has the approval of the school, and has an Educator-in-Charge, a school may affiliate by merely completing the Application for Affiliation Form and submitting such to MSSA.

In order to affiliate, the completed Application for affiliation Form must be submitted to the MSSA.

Once the Board has approved a school’s affiliation, the school then needs to complete the Google Registration Page allocated to the school for the players and make payment.

All school members may participate in all events for which it qualifies. Such events include meetings, championships, courses, and so forth.

Advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club: There are many advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club, such as:

Being part of a community where your club has a real say in how things are done
Being able to apply for National Lottery Funding – MSSA member clubs can apply for up to R800,000.00 in funding
Being able to get assistance from your local government
Experience increased media exposure of your events and your gamers
Become part of the international community through the MSSA Registered players are able to become internationally recognised umpires, etc.
Enable your gamers to take part in MSSA events, which may qualify them for Regional, Provincial, and National colours, overseas trips, and even sports bursaries at university.

MSSA’s Constitution

The Constitution forms the foundation of the MSSA. It guarantees members rights and governs the way that the MSSA operates. It can only be amended by a two-thirds majority at a Council Meeting. Please remember that Associations only have two (2) votes each, whereas member clubs have a representational vote, being:

Private clubs: one vote per every five registered players, and
School clubs: one vote per every ten registered players.

MSSA’s General Regulations
The General Regulations comprises of decisions made by both Council and Executive Committee Meetings. The General Regulations deals with how sub-committees operate as well as to how teams are selected and development funding is distributed. Please refer to Schedule 10.12 in regard to the rights of clubs in hosting events.

MSSA’s Discipline Specific Regulations
The Discipline Specific Regulations deal with rules concerning the different disciplines. The Disciplines that the MSSA caters for are; Board Gaming, Card gaming, Esports, and Figure Gaming.

Application for Affiliation form
When a club applies for membership, the applicant club must complete such form and return the same to the MSSA.Fee note for 2025
The fee note details the Affiliation Fees and Registration fees that are payable.

Player Registration Form
The Player Registration Form needs to be completed by every player that is a member of a club and intends to participate in MSSA affairs.

MSSA’s Letter of Undertaking
The Letter of Undertaking is for all registered players who sit on any MSSA committee.
