Original Post — Direct link

People want a way to warm up their aim with the guns they use most. A mode with no objective and quick respawns would achieve that. Spike rush doesn't because:

  1. if you die, you still sit the round out
  2. randomized weapons mean you're not warming up the weapons you actually use

I really hope a FFA / TDM style mode can be added soon.

Hey there fam! Something you might consider is that different people want alt game modes for different reasons. In our research, we found a TON. Here are just a few:
- More casual, less intense gameplay
- Lesser time commitment
- More opportunities for creative outplay
- One-for-all style allowing for solo play
- Zero abilities, only gunplay
Spike Rush meets some of these needs, but not all of them. It sounds like it wasn't your jam, and that kinda blows. But hopefully you'll find something that suits you better in the future :)

It's still good - just not what some of us wanted for certain scenarios. Thanks for the hard work, and looking forward to the next modes :)

You're welcome :) And thank you so much for playing our game!

Thanks very much for your response.

SR achieves the goals you're describing well. I hadn't seen people asking for this. I'd only seen people asking for the things I described, which aligns with what I personally want, so I made a lazy assumption.

Still loving Valorant. Looking forward to whatever game mode you're cooking up!

It totally makes sense that you'd make that assumption. It's why we (at Riot) HAVE to do research. We're all gamers, and I can't tell you how many times we thought the players would want something (because we wanted it ourselves), then got totally put in our place when the players actually had a chance to speak for themselves. Thanks for engaging with me on this, and I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the game! :)
