Valorant has started to have in-game seasonal events, so here are five more ideas for in-game events to be added. Though the recent Snowball Fight event wasn't perfect, it showed promise that Riot Games should capitalize on.

Valentine’s Day Event

For this event, players won’t be able to buy guns for themselves, they can only buy for their teammates. It’ll force players to focus on how to better their teammates, and “spread the love." You won’t find any lone wolves in this game mode, it’s all about generosity.

April Fool’s Randomizer Event

For this event, each agent gets another random agent’s abilities each round. Although they should keep this far away from competitive, it would be a fun one to two-week event that can introduce chaos into each encounter with an enemy, as you won’t know what to expect from them.

Search and Destroy Event

Imagine, instead of one player holding and planting a spike, one player IS a spike. One team will be defending a player that has a fuse on him while the other team has to figure out which player is the “spike” and destroy them before they literally go off. Every player except for the one whose spike will be able to respawn, so no team can win by simply killing the other.

Superhero Event

This mode is a 1v5 where the first to get a certain number of kills wins. The catch is the “one” will have a ton of buffs. They’ll have five times as much health, three times as much abilities to use as normal, and deal extra damage. If the one gets to 50 kills they win, and if the five gets to 10 kills they win.

Chess Match

This one might be harder to pull off, as it’ll require a decently advanced AI, but this mode will be a 1 v 1 where instead of playing the game, they control the actions of all five players. They have a team budget and decide what to buy and for whom. They’ll also give simple directives such as where to go and whether to play aggressively or conservatively. Obviously, this is hard to pull off without a smart AI, but it’s an interesting concept to consider.
