I wonder why VALORANT doesn't have a Quick Play mode, like Overwatch for example. I know there's the "unrated" mode, but those matches go 30-40 minutes each. If you happen to want to play something that lasts less, you can only play arcade modes that don't follow the game's main rules of Spike defuse (Bo25) so it's not the same experience.

What about a Quick Play mode with normal unrated/rated rules, abilities, economy, all that, but no side rotation? If I hop into a match on Defense, well, that will be all for that match. Just a maximum of 12 rounds. Maybe in the next match I get to be on Offense (or maybe Defense again, who knows?). The main idea is to make room for a casual mode that is not arcade and you can play without having to invest so much time in a match, letting rated as the FULL VALORANT experience.

In my personal experience I can play many 15min matches, but after 1 or 2 30-40 matches I get bored or want to do something else (or HAVE to so something else)

In Overwatch "Quick play" you play Attack or Defense. If you win or lose that's it, there's no side rotation. In ranked there's side rotation so each team has equal chances to win or lose, but of course, those matches tend to be twice as long as Quick Play, which makes sense and it's ok.

What you think about this?
