Valorant Agent ban might be implemented in competitive games
Valorant Agent ban: Valorant has a large roster of 19 agents after the opening of Episode 4. The game already has several ban systems for players in terms of dodging and AFK-ing. However, there are no banning system forms selecting specific agents for players.
Recently, a tweet has surfaced on the internet that suggests the possibility of the above issue. The article discusses the potential Valorant Agent ban system that might be implemented in competitive games from now on.

Valorant Agent ban
Agent and map bans have been a contentious point of discussion in the Valorant community. With a handful number of 19 Agents to choose from right now, there’s little room to fit a proper drafting system. However, as the game expands, and the system becomes more complicated, things might change.
There might be several thoughts into the matter, but the game might add a ban system for specific agents in competitive plays in the coming future, according to a recent leak.
The developers have been quizzed on this numerous times, asking the same question — “Will there be a pick and ban system with Agents and maps?” According to the recent tweet of an investigative journalist, the agent ban system might be reflected in the next competitive game of Valorant.
“Looks like we’re getting Agent bans for the first time ever in a VALORANT competition? Pretty sick if this is true – will be implemented in the upcoming Knights VALORAMPAGE event later this month,” he said.
VALORANT senior game designer Trevor Romleski had earlier discussed the possibility of a pick and ban system in a blog post. “We expect teams to have set plays and strategies that will require very specific Agents. Banning an Agent would invalidate that entire strategy, and we don’t want to discourage the practice.” was the official statement of RIOT.
“At what Agent do you think bans will be viable?” Valorant Game Designer Nicholas Wu Smith was asked during an April 6 Twitch stream. “Maybe close to 30,” he responded at the time. However, the ban system might only be applied for competitive plays for the time being, with no official confirmations as of now.
