Ranked rewards will not fix Valorant ranked
Here’s what actually will
#1 - enforce account sharing policy, basically all cheaters / wintraders etc all account share & buy accounts to use. It’s already against TOS but it’s never enforced
#2 - team strategy based agents need to actually be playable. The current meta even in pro play is all self-sufficient duelists with the best utility. How is it possibly a duelist has an INSTANT cast stun ability better than the designed team play agent (breach) that makes no sense. They need to have BETTER utility than an entry duelist if it’s used for the team.
#3 - the tier 3 scene needs investment, having low tier tourneys running back in the day incentivized the average IMM player to commit time and effort into improvement. The barrier to entry in team play is ridiculous now. Basically no reason to play until VCL level
