While Act III is coming in Valorant, Riot Games' developers offer us a video of almost five minutes to talk about the main changes that will influence the ladder in a few days.
The emphasis is on competitive integrity and the publisher intends to offer everyone the same opportunities. One of the ways to do this is to reach the rank you deserve as quickly as possible. A goal that could be slowed down if you fall in front of a player two levels above you who is in your game only because he's playing in duo with a friend.
Moreover, from Immortal ranking gains and losses are determined by only two things: win/loss, and the number of rounds of difference. The individual performance of each player no longer counts. This decision was probably motivated by the fact that at high level, players adopt very specific roles.
Players adopting supportive roles are critical to victory and should progress (or descend) at the same rate as everyone else. If the experiment is successful, these changes could be applied to all levels starting next season.
