Inspired by Counter-Strike and Overwatch, Valorant is a first-person shooting game developed and published by Riot Games.

Ever since its release, the game gained massive popularity and has more than 1.5 million daily active players. It features several modes such as unrated, spike rush, deathmatch, replication, and many others.

While the game is pretty stable, frequent updates to the title often cause problems such as some players getting stuck on the loading screen and new Sova animations interfering with his skill lineups.

That said, Valorant players are now complaining about unfair matchmaking (1,2,3,4,5). Many say the algorithm is pairing low-rank players with high rank, making the game unenjoyable for them.

Players are frustrated and wondering if the matchmaking is even working or not. The unfair matchmaking seems to be demoralizing a lot of new and experienced players. Below are some reports from Valorant players complaining about unfair matchmaking.

Unfortunately, we are yet to come across any official word on the unfair Valorant matchmaking issue.

We hope the developers listen to the player base and make changes to the matchmaking algorithm in the near future so players with similar skillsets are matched against one another.
