What it is
Valoplant is a web strategy planning tool for Valorant. Free with optional premium tier. Active since 2021. Designed for competitive teams: gives you high-resolution maps to draw on (utilities, positioning, rotations), save strats, and share with your fireteam.
What's distinctive is the combo: drawable map (coach whiteboard style) + integrated lineup database (smokes, flashes, mollies, recon arrows) you can place on the map with detail.
What problem it solves
Coordinating strats with a team requires shared visualization. Discord screen-sharing the Liquipedia map works but is awkward — you can't easily draw, nothing saves, everyone has to watch simultaneously.
Valoplant solves this. You create a strat on the map with clear annotations (smokes here, flash to Heaven, B player rotation X→Y), save it, share the link. Your team opens it whenever they want and sees the same thing.
How it differs
Versus Mobalytics lineup database, Valoplant wins on interactive strat planning. Mobalytics has a lineup grid; Valoplant lets you DRAW the full strat combining lineups with positioning.
Versus Valorantmaps (callout-focused), Valoplant is more strategic — Valorantmaps is static info (what's called what), Valoplant is dynamic planning.
Versus Discord whiteboard apps, Valoplant is Valorant-specific — precise maps, built-in lineups, not generic toolkit.
What people use it for
Competitive squads plan strats: Premier or amateur league teams draw strats, save them, review pre-scrim. Standard workflow for serious teams.
Coaches work with players: review VOD and draw what happened / what should have happened on the map. Effective visual feedback.
Lineup database: for solo players, Valoplant has a library of popular utilities. Filter by map and agent, see the full setup.
Per-site strats: plan default attack for A site of Bind, save for B site, pistol round setup. Full team playbook catalog.
Public sharing: if you create interesting strats, you can publish them for the community.
Who it's not for
If you play casual soloQ without team coordination, Valoplant is overkill. Your solo-q decisions don't require strat planning.
If you only want individual lineups, Mobalytics or YouTube videos are faster. Valoplant needs more onboarding.
If your team prefers verbal coordination and doesn't write strats, Valoplant adds process your team doesn't want. Forcing tools without buy-in fails.
How to use it in practice
- Go to
valoplant.gg. Login with a Valoplant account (free). - Pick a map from the list (Bind, Haven, Split, etc.).
- Drawable canvas appears with the map as background.
- Toolbar: agent icons, utility icons, drawing pen, text labels.
- Build the strat: position agents, draw movement lines, add utilities from the library.
- Save → get a shareable link.
- Your team opens the link and sees the strat. They can comment.
Honest limitations
Learning curve. The interface has many options; learning the toolkit takes time. For casuals who wanted to "see a lineup", it's overkill.
Premium pushy on advanced features. Unlimited saved strats and advanced features sit behind the paywall. Free tier sufficient for individual or small-team use.
Map coverage sometimes lags the official pool. When Riot rotates a map back in, Valoplant can take days to add it.
Lineup database depends on submissions. Old maps are well-covered; new ones can be sparse.
English only. No localization.
No replay analysis. If you want to review VODs with timestamps, Insights.gg is the tool.
How to get started
If you play casually: you probably don't need Valoplant. Better to check lineups on Mobalytics or YouTube. If you play in a competitive team: go to valoplant.gg, draw a strat for the map you play most, share with your team. If they use it, continue; if not, don't force the workflow. Some teams adopt, others prefer verbal coordination.
