• New Map
• New Map Rotation
• Duelists Changes
• June 9

5 week waiting will be long but finally some new map, thanks Riot.

Now they are many question we need an answer :

Will the new rotation will be available for stage 2 ? (Please yes)
What are the 2 map that rotate out (Might be 1 or 3, but usually it's only 2) ?
What map will rotate in ?
Will it be release the 11th ?

Vlr nation, what is your though on those questions ?

Hard nerfing Viper 1 mouth before making out her two best map would be absolutely wild, makes no sense at all, but it's not impossible XD

viper can still very easily be played other maps, just have to have way better timing than you can get away with now, people are overreacting massively

From my calculations it will be lotus and ascent/breeze if three maps are going then all the three mentioned
Reasoning for lotus: in the lore updates there was a message from clove basically clove omen and iso are going to discover the new map while astra and harpor are going to lotus because something weird is happening there
Ascent: the oldest map that haven't rotated out
Breeze: dogshit ass map

How Lotus could go out so soon ? It's one of the most popular map, and one of the 2 last that was release. I don't get how with the lore update you arrive at this conclusion.

I'm kinda agreed for Ascent and Breeze, to me they seem like the 2 front-runners.

Pearl got taken out after getting good changes about a year and 3 month after release lotus was released January of last year

More map arent popular, sooner they rotate out, Ascent is still here Haven was last to rotate out, Icebox and breeze get rotate out really early compared to their release date, Pearl was flawed and get rotate out early.

Hmmm it may be because of the mapool but right now he is kinda the best vision of the agent to me :/

Can't wait to see that new map

preds:
my guess is raze nade cant recharge, and maybe reduce satchel time and power (more absurdly but less way likely: buff satchel and reduce charges to 1) and please for the love of everything pls make the rocket shoot straight
maybe only 1 jett smoke that lasts longer?
prolly a neon phoenix iso and yoru buff
neon maybe longer lasting wall, more running juice
phoenix longer lasting molly quicker flash ideally both in pulling it out and using it
yoru tp animation quicker and the timer tp timer only starts counting after barriers down
iso needs a rework imo he's just a budget reyna with a worse harbour wall

1 satchel would ruin the agent they wouldnt do that, i think they just need to make the nade not rechargeable probably but raze is good cause everyone else sucks

take 1 satchel away from raze and it destroys her. Removes skill gap massively from the agent. I don't play raze at all, but I would hate to see that.

I think Valorant dev team are the only balance team in the world that would make a nerf on a agent, even player that don't play the agent would hate T.T

They said it's a duelist overhall, kind of similar to the Initiator or smoke patches they did a while back. It's still possible that they change clove but it's unlikely imo, if I were a dev I'd try balance the duelists in a way that makes current clove more viable

I don't think Clove will be balanced, but maybe mapool chage will favor Clove if they rotate out some wide maps

I really like Fracture, I would love it to come back, but to be fair, Pearl didn't stay long in the mapool, it's probably the map that gonna get back, if Riot favor the favorite map instead of the most recent one, it will be Haven. As sad as I think, I don't think Fracture will come back next mouth.

I would really want to know if Fracture will be played without a vision if the map come back, because this kinda disappear recently.

If the map change comes into effect on the 11th of June, like you're assuming, then we can look to the Premier schedule for some hints. The 11th of June would be 4 weeks into the rotation, which means the week 5, 6, and 7 maps (Breeze, Split, and Icebox respectively) are NOT getting rotated out. That leaves only Bind, Lotus, Ascent, and Sunset as the candidates. Sunset is the newest map and Lotus got changes just four months ago, so it's most likely Ascent and Bind getting taken out of the rotation.

As for what's being put in, it's 100% going to be the new map + one other map. If we look at the maps currently out of rotation, the ones that've been out the longest are Pearl and Fracture, so we're most likely getting one of the two back alongside the new map.

TL;DR it's most likely Ascent + Bind OUT, new map + Fracture/Pearl IN.
