Does Valorant have region lock?
Yep, Valorant does have a region lock, but don't let that discourage you! The game matches you based on the region you set during account creation to ensure the best possible playing experience. If you ever need to change regions, you'll have to reach out to Riot support - they can sort that out for you but it might take a bit of time.

Simple answer: Yes, it does. Valorant's system assigns you to a server based on your geographical location to keep the ping low and the game fair. So, you play where you stay!
Absolutely it has, and for good reasons! Kept me from playing with my cousin in Australia, but hey, at least we both get smooth gameplay without any lag. Just a heads up, switching regions isn't a walk in the park, so pick wisely or be prepared to chat with support.
