The announcement raises questions in the community. In one of his weekly streams, Morello, the developer in charge of agent design, confessed that the person in charge of the Competitive mode in Valorant has left the company a few weeks ago. To date, he/she hasn't been replaced and the development team is managing the transition, but cannot handle it full-time.
He adds that it's a real issue and that Riot Games is dealing with it right now. It's true that Valorant's competitive system has been subject to criticism since its release, both from pros or casual players. We're going to have to be patient before we get the answers to our questions.
