Its essentially an unrated game but takes half of the number of rounds. I dont love to commit to like an hour of gameplay just to play a normal Valorant game. I am usually forced to play Spike rush which is fine but doesnt help to learn for competitive. Worse then that, it doesn't make sense to me to stay in a game like "Unrated" when you can play against high elos and can't surrender because some tryhards doesn't accept losing a 0-13 so the game is essentialy wasted. Half unrated would definitely have its place for low commitment and hassle free games.
