Valorant had recently posted an article on the official website about what to expect on the competitive matchmaking front during the 1.02 update patch.

The devs had said that the ranked match system was a work in progress and wanted to make sure they deliver a seamless competitive gameplay experience to the players. The devs emphasized that they have made sure there is balance in the matchmaking procedure among other optimizations and additions.

“We want to create the opportunity for all players to come together and compete at high stakes as a team, with the hope these team-oriented competitive matches will be memorable and rewarding events,” Devs have said.

Unfortunately, all of that will have to wait, since the devs delayed the launch of the 1.02 update patch.
