The Call of Duty veteran, Dr. DisRespect, has been playing some Valorant lately. The new FPS game by Riot has Doc hooked, and he can’t get off of it. It doesn’t help that he is really good at the game either. As he shreds through enemies, Doc just wants to keep on playing.

The ‘Two Time‘ tweeted a while ago how the Icebox map in Valorant was the only good one. Due to his dislike for the other maps, he feels Riot Games could add more maps to the game. He already finds the game “somewhat addicting.“ The addition of new maps would only strengthen his loyalty. Therefore, he also offered to help Riot with designing the map.

Valorant developer promises Dr. DisRespect more maps
Lydia Zanotti on Twitter is the 3D environment artist for Riot Games. She is currently working on making maps for Riot’s FPS game Valorant. After Doc requested new maps in the game, Lydia replied to his tweet, saying that she will get him his maps.
i’ll get you more maps i promise 🥺

On previous occasions, Lydia has made it clear through her tweets that she has been working on a new map. New maps will take some time to come out since the team has a significant amount of work to put in. They had to move up the timeline for Icebox, which was a hard job as it is.
We’re all trying our best on the maps team to get more maps out. It takes a lot of time, and pushing Icebox out almost 3 months early was a lot of work on us. Stay tuned ♥

Community maps in Valorant are a distant possibility
Fans have been asking for community maps in Valorant for a long time. However, Valorant has only been out for close to a year. Therefore, the developers feel they need to give the game some time to mature before releasing such a feature.
The top question I always get asked is: When will we get a community map editor? Here's @RiotZiegler sliding in and answering that burning question for me.
And on that note, I should probably get to work on the next map ✌️ pic.twitter.com/ZUyfleyntl

we don’t have any plans for community maps, but that doesn’t mean it will never happen. VALORANT isn’t even a year old yet and we have so many other things we want to do first… and we want to do them right.

This doesn’t mean Dr. DisRespect can’t join hands with Valorant to come up with a map of his own. The popular streamer has already shown he can get the job done as he previously made a map for another game: Rogue Company.
Instead of this being a community map-making tool, Riot could end up collaborating with Doc. Doc has openly appreciated Valorant, which could help Riot attract more players. Therefore, a collaboration between the two would not be a bad idea after all. As Dr. DisRespect said in his tweet, his flip phone is wide open, and he’s waiting for Riot’s call.
