VALORANT Map Rotation System

Understanding competitive map pools and rotation mechanics

Current Map Pool System

VALORANT's map rotation system maintains seven maps in the active pool for Competitive, Premier, and Deathmatch game modes. This strategic limitation ensures optimal variety while preventing player overwhelm and maintaining competitive integrity.

Why Seven Maps?

Seven maps provide the perfect balance for competitive play, allowing equal bans in best-of-three and best-of-five formats without map repetition in professional series.

Rotation Factors & Criteria

Riot Games considers multiple factors when determining which maps to rotate in and out of the competitive pool:

  • Player Sentiment: Community feedback and map popularity
  • Time Since Release: Age and maturity of map strategies
  • Planned Updates: Scheduled reworks and improvements
  • Strategic Variance: Tactical diversity and meta balance

Professional Play Impact
