VALORANT may get a new ranked map selection system and changes to Neon
Developers of VALORANT are looking for long-term ways to improve map variety and the ranked experience. During a Reddit Q&A, Riot Games representatives discussed potential plans, including a possible map pick/ban system for ranked matches.
According to RiotSWAGGERNAUT, the team is actively discussing solutions for the map pool. While Riot considers map variety essential for both the game and the esports scene, they also aim to give players more control over map selection.

In addition to map pool changes, developers are planning adjustments for several agents, with a specific focus on Neon. According to internal metrics, she remains one of the strongest agents in the game. Representative penguinVALORANT stated that the team is considering changes that go beyond simply lowering her numerical stats.

No official release dates have been provided for the map selection system or the upcoming agent balance updates.
