Given KJ's pickrate in pro play and probably their own analytics Riot has access to in Ranked, Riot probably want her to be used less:

i figured bind would be coming back before the next episode but i wonder what it means for future acts. something like this?

-e6a3: -haven +bind
-e7a1: -icebox +map10 (unless Heineken being the Official Sponsor of Icebox makes them remove ascent here)
-e7a2: same pool as the previous act
-e7a3: -ascent +breeze
-e8a1: legit no clue at this point, it probably has to be a double exchange to squeeze haven and map11 in (so -split again and -fracture?)

seems crazy to me to swap things around so much but it also seems like the most likely scenario unless map10 doesn't actually come with episode 7

Icebox leaving the 7-map pool for Bind in the start of Act III (Patch 6.08).

I hope they take the time to remove all the bugs on Icebox and make mid more dynamic to use for team pushes and splits.

Which maps are currently in the ranked map pool? Is the same rotation used in unrated and swiftplay?

The current 7-map pool is Split, Ascent, Lotus, Pearl, Haven, Icebox, and Fracture.

Ranked and unrated share the same map pool. All other modes have the access to all maps which include Breeze and Bind before their rework currently.

It’s lame that riot stopped letting you join the firing range with other players. This game has so many weird mechanics that would be much easier to explain in the range with someone but you can’t anymore. My friends trying to get into Valorant but there’s really no casual way to help him learn besides getting destroyed in 5v5 games.

You could create a custom game where you pause the timer, enable abilities, etc.

Right, but you can’t run the plant and defuse simulators together like the olden days, and shooting the dummies with friends was always fun.
