The future looks bright for Riot Games\u2019 tactical shooting game. <\/em><\/p>\n Want to know just how dedicated the VALORANT team is? \u2013 VALORANT receives updates at least every week.<\/p>\n The VALORANT Devs are constantly working on something. Be it balance changes, nerfs, or Quality of Life updates; there is always something that VALORANT is looking to improve on.<\/p>\n It also helps that the Devs take time off their busy schedule to sit down and answer some FAQs from the VALORANT community. <\/p>\n In the May 19 edition of \u201cAsk VALORANT, the Devs answered some interesting questions on VALORANT features and the possibility of a VALORANT Netflix series.<\/p>\n One of the more critical questions that were brought up in the recent Ask VALORANT session was the state of the Map Pick\/Ban system<\/strong>. <\/p>\n A few months ago, VALORANT only had a handful of locations in its map rotation \u2013 Ascent, Bind, Split, Haven, and Icebox. Since then, Breeze and Fracture have been added to that list, bringing the total number of maps to seven. <\/p>\n With that many maps currently in the game, an important question arose: Does Riot Games plan on adding a Map Pick\/Ban system<\/em>?<\/p>\n Riot Games Competitive Designer \u2013 Jon Walker \u2013 said that\u00a0a Map Pick\/Ban system is currently not something they plan to introduce for regular Competitive Play.\u00a0<\/strong>The Devs want the players to have a little more experience playing all seven maps in-game, and adding a Pick\/Ban system will only give players a free pass to skip maps that they aren\u2019t a fan of.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, Riot Games plans on adding a Map Pick\/Ban system when they start introducing their Tournament Mode for VALORANT, so fans will have to wait for that.<\/p>\n Gifting in-game skins are the easiest way to simp- Erm, we mean, show your appreciation for your VALORANT teammates and friends. <\/p>\n Unfortunately, this isn\u2019t something that will be available to players soon, as Stephen Kraman, Product Manager for Riot Games, shared that the Gifting feature isn\u2019t a priority for the team right now.<\/strong><\/p>\n For now, simps \u2013 Erm, we mean, players will have to settle for dropping their personal skins to their favorite allies in-game. <\/p>\n So, will Riot Games be adding a first-person replay system for VALORANT? Short answer: not anytime soon. <\/strong><\/p>\n Riot Games is currently more focused on developing other VALORANT features, so a replay system isn\u2019t really on the top of their priority list right now. <\/p>\n Such a shame, as players have been begging Riot Games to add an in-game replay system that players can use to identify positioning, pre-aiming, and other mistakes that are keeping players from reaching the next level.<\/p>\n Skins are plentiful in VALORANT. And, if you have at least a Battle Pass in-game, your inventory will be chucked full of random weapon skins and other in-game vanities. <\/p>\n Unfortunately, players can only really use a single skin for every weapon in-game at any given time. Players have to manually assign individual skins for every in-game weapon from the main menu to swap out weapon skins.<\/p>\n And so, Riot Games Art Lead \u2013 Sean Marino \u2013 shared that, while adding the capability to set up two different sets of skins for Attacking and Defending in matches is something that they plan on adding in the future,\u00a0they would have to test the performance impact of doing so first.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n An option to use more of your skins in-game might seem like a great idea, but not at the cost of in-game performance, which is arguably more important in VALORANT anyway.<\/p>\n League of Legends fans couldn\u2019t stop gushing over the LoL animated series, Arcane, and we can\u2019t blame them, as Arcane was an undeniable smash hit.<\/p>\n If Riot Games could pull off something like that from one of their other titles, making a VALORANT Animated Series should be easy. Right?<\/p>\n Unfortunately, creating an animated series is not something that Riot Games is actively pursuing their tactical shooter right now, as they are hyper-focused on delivering the best in-game experience for VALORANT. <\/p>\n![\"VALORANT:](\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/playerassist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/featured-image-valorant-map-pick-ban-system-skin-gifting-replay-and-valorant-on-netflix.png?fit=706%2C397&ssl=1\")
