Understanding Map Rotation

How Valorant's competitive map pool system works

Seven Map System

Valorant maintains exactly seven maps in the competitive pool at any time. This ensures optimal variety while preventing player overwhelm and maintaining competitive integrity.

Why Seven Maps?

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

Rotation Schedule

Every Act: Maps rotate in and out of competitive pool
Strategic Timing: Changes align with agent releases and updates
Community Input: Player feedback influences rotation decisions
