I have an entire group of friends, 2 from the UK, 3 from Canada and 5 from the Caribbean.
When some of us are on, we want to play with each other on valorant but since we have such diverse regions, we cannot. I really want the development team to have a serious conversation about how to make cross region play happen.
I cannot be the only person dealing with this, this is a quality of life thing and needs to be added.
Playing with friends from different regions
I also struggled with this as one of my friends from the uk downloaded only for us to find out its impossible for us to party up.

I heard something from twitter during the beta phase that it's complicated to do so since they want the ping of every person to be as low as possible. If someone from the US region would play on the EU serverser, they'd have about 120 to 200ms ping. With this ping you can either have a good advantage when peeking or a disadvantage when being peeked.
I think that cross-region play won't happen in the near future (at least in the upcomming ranked mode, maybe for Spike Rush or Unranked).
