Valorant Removes INSTALOCKING AGENTS with New Pick Mode!



In Today’s video, we talk about a new update Valorant will be rolling out later in Episode 4 that will remove instalocking agents. No more playing an agent every game you have to fill a spot because you have a slow computer. Just more changes being rolled out with the new agent and I like the direction Valorant is going.

  1. "for those who only play one agent…" ill take this one. Stop. Playing. The. Game. if you cant pick up 1-3 agents in a TEAM based STRATGEY shooting game then you dont need to be playing team based strategy games. there's strategic value in having a vast agent pool. One agent isnt gonna help you climb out of bronze. Understand that picking up multiple agents means you add more value to the team, the strategies you can build, and counters to the enemy.

  2. I usually side with riot but this one is dumb, should just go with DOTA 2s method of queueing for a specific role but having to wait longer wait times for saturated roles (duelist). Using the role queue points method, where you have to spend a role queue point to force a specific role. When you're out of role queues you must queue all roles or low saturation roles (sentinels) to earn them back.

  3. i think the best way to solve the problem would be adding a time when you cant lock agent but you can select it and once the time is over, if two persons have selected the same agent, none of them will be able to lock. So they would have to communicate or whatever, it could be worse but idk

  4. this will probably make interlocking worst because the first person will just lock in duelist and some ones gonna dodge since their agent got interlocked ands they cant do anything about it.

  5. Thats not gonna help anything if people dont get their agent now they will just not pick or leave the match. This can also just make more players toxic since if you pick their agent they will scream at you.

  6. I mean if you insta lock an agent that isn't always played then is it really that bad I play chamber and Raze I barley see any chambers and no one on my team ever picks raze mind you I wait to see what comp the game is gonna have. So generally speaking I don't see it as an issue.

  7. This f*** game doesn’t let me pick my agent and giving me penalty for dodging, they should literally track players actions and their screen for temporarily when they are in agent selection lobby. What if someone doesn’t even get a agent selection option and still gets penalty for dodging, please use 100% brain devs…please.

  8. I have an alternative idea. What if every player can show how good they are with the agent? Like click a button to show how many matches have been played with the agent they chose and how much their win rate in percentage?

  9. I feel we should just have a short cool down where you can select and strategize of 15 to 20s where you can’t lock
    then when it ends if 2 ppl have the same agent selected neither can lock until only one has them selected
    And if they both don’t decide 10 seconds before the timer runs out one of them randomly gets the agent and the other one has to choose or get a random agent(This still leaves many of the problems with bad teammates but I don’t see any new problems)

    I don’t really see how cascade changes or fixes any problems and with the problems it creates i don’t see how it will be effective until we have more characters(around 25)

    Also If they add this to comp it’s probably going to be added to unrated and spike rush which won’t allow me to play new characters or try new things in game with my favorite characters

    And also I really hope they add a way to randomly choose an agent in chat because I keep getting a glitch where I’m stuck on loading screen but can still type in chat

  10. This is a great but a horrible update so far… Valo only got 19 agents… They tried to make this system like moba games … Eg LOL, or mobile legends… But becz of less number of agents It'll just frustrate people… Need to under that this won't work as intended with only 19 agents…

  11. It's great rn tbh… It's a first come first serve system, and nothing's wrong with that… You want jet but couldn't lock her??? Try using other agents too… Learn to play other agents and their won't be any problem… A horrible update so far… Good luck riot… It's not like you got a large number of agents to choose from…

  12. Honestly I don't see how this would help. I think just removing the ability to lock an agent and failing to hover an agent/hovering the same agent would result in a cue dodge, warning, and maybe an rr penalty. I think this would allow people to see the team comp, communicate, and prevent the stress of not being able to play a preferred agent multiple games in a role.
