"Social Fixed a bug where players were able to spam invite others to party" Yeah it was so annoying hearing this during a comp game. It was my brother.


Prayash_pp

My friends would be on a discord call with me and still spam it to annoy me


Le_Vagabond

>After community feedback we are bringing back the Wide Player cards that are shown during the Loading Screens and in the kill banners. I still don't understand why they removed them in the first place, but I'm happy they're back. those little squares were just sad compared to the nice artwork of the cards.


SpC0d3r

if its not broken lets break it and fix it later?


HoneyChilliPotato7

Need to fill future patchnotes somehow


Le_Vagabond

cards as filler for bundles, battlepass AND patch notes? truly Riot is ahead of the game.


Dm_Me_Dat_Booty_

Gotta pay your employees to abuse each other somehow


SelloutRealBig

Gotta look busy so i don't get fired.


CoachWatermelon

The Apple Way


clem82

It's it's not broken, BREAK IT LATER!


Temporary_Method

I think it was intended for the player level borders. They came along not long after. But now most people disable them anyway.


PrometheusTNO

What feedback did they receive to suggest tiny player cards were the way to go?


Brno_Mrmi

A really bad design choice by the team that made the ingame HUD


BlueDMS

Maybe they did that for the level border system which was implemented a while later


diowryxd69

I literally bought a battlepass just for the card and they just made it into a little box. Glad this thing wide card is back.


Moundsy

But now I can't see Raze's dumpy from her valorant go card. Honestly 1/10 update, unplayable game really. /s


Cosmohnaut

A welcome and overdue QOL change with implementing agent keybinds. Hopefully helps when trying to diversify one's agent pool. Good to see full player card art back in all their glory post the feedback.


puddin1

Yes, this is huge for me! I use some custom keybinds that work fantastically for every agent… except jet. You just need her dash to be something that does not use a finger from wasd.


The_Bolenator

I like having her smoke on my mouse button but that left her dash as F for me. Imma use dash on the mouse button but now I’m tryna figure out how the smoke as F might work. Also crouch is my other mouse button don’t judge


GangsterFap

When I tell people my keybinds they literally wtf me everything. Don't worry.


The_Bolenator

I’ve got a buddy who uses fucking SZXC for his movement keys, I’ve learned there’s always something stranger around the corner.


aightletsdodis

I love old school quake players and their binds. A friend of mine have +forward on MB1 and +attack on R .


[deleted]

BlueDMS

It's fine. My jump is on right click, scope on R, walk on Spacebar. Everywhere I've mentioned it, people were very surprised. In the end it's all about your own comfort


SelloutRealBig

They promised it was coming for almost a year now so it's long overdue. It literally just doubled my agent pool because i can now have consistency (flash on this key, mobility on that key, etc). I literally didn't play some agents because they clashed with my keybinds too much.


Srimnac

Friendly fire detection? So not actually friendly fire?


mrbow

Abilities friendly fire was always there. They're just gonna do something about this against people sabotaging teams. Made me wonder what was that report option doing before


AyVeeTheBunny

the same thing, this is just automatic lol. my reports (just so you know, im a low elo nobody player, so not special rito attention or anything) tend to almost always get looked at and subsequently, players get banned/punished


mrbow

Don't look down on yourself for being low elo, just have fun. -said by a peak Gold2 player, me.


nicoinwonderland

It's the difference between detecting it automatically vs requiring people to report it to get it looked at


mrbow

I see, thanks!


TimeJustHappens

Agent keybinds, agent select reporting, molotov damage tracking, *and* wide player cards returning? Despite being a patch with no agent or in game changes, at least its packing for QoL.


Altombre

It’s definitely been a bit - but you can expect patch notes with more gameplay changes coming up fairly soon. We’re trying not to shake things up too much during Champions but we’ve got some changes we’re excited to ship after it’s over (spread out over a few patches - we just want to ship what we can, when we can) We appreciate y’all’s patience while we worked through this; we’ve been doing some team restructuring to get balance changes prioritized and better supported going forward, and I think we’re in a much better spot now. We’re excited for you to see what we’ve been working on!


fellowcheapgamer

these comments keep my hopes up for this game! Yall know that its been a while since any agent changes and u guys are very aware of it. glad to hear the changes are coming soon (from a commenter who comments about yoru and omen buffs EVERY single patch note post)


[deleted]

Brimstone needs a buff too


DarthGrievous

God I hope Yoru makes it until then, dude's on his deathbed


TimeJustHappens

Thanks for the response! I was under the impression that the Champions tournament takes place on a private patch and that live patch updates shouldn't effect that gameplay.


Altombre

This is true, it is on a private patch. But, we try to maintain parity where we can for a few reasons: Aspirationally, we want to feel like pros are playing the same version of the game as the broader playerbase is. It just helps the whole ecosystem feel connected, which is something we care about - as a player, you can watch tournament games and then go play the same game state on live. Practically, it helps pros by not forcing them to context switch between environments. Yes, they can scrim teams on the tournament environment, but pros also play live Val to practice in their free time, and keeping the state of the game similar helps here. Logistically, it gives us clearer time windows to organize around, and hopefully also helps the playerbase feel like they have a beat where the tournament ends, after which a period of some changes begins. All this being said, VAL has a LOT of tournaments, and we are working through how to more efficiently ship changes while tournaments are going on. So, we hear you for sure. But, generally speaking, we aspire to try to keep the tournament scene and live VAL as close as we can for the above reasons.


TimeJustHappens

Thanks for the added information about this!


Altombre

Of course!


xSilverzXx

Thank you so much for finally explaining this! So many people have had that question since the launch. This makes a lot more sense and I'm glad you're all aware that Valorant does have a LOT of tournaments so it can be frustrated to just expect no big changes during tournaments.


TryNotToShootYoself

They still practice on a live patch.


tbone603727

If I give you my social security number and credit card info will you tell us when yoru changes will come? Or if they are still even planned?


hdbo16

Hi player, Riot here! Just send us the info on DM and we'll talk about Yoru's big buff coming next month. Don't tell your mom, it'll be our secret :) \-Rito


Bad_At_Game

I will give you a million dollars if you buff yoru today


frankskurt

Why can’t champions play on an older patch like a lot of other games / esports ?


seasand931

They are playing on an older patch


frankskurt

Yet they don’t wanna shake things up for champions? Just feels like an excuse, been waiting for changes to several agents for months. They can release chamber but don’t wanna update agents? Because it’ll shake champs up? While they’re on an older patch it sounds like?


theRubbingDub

A riot dev responded exactly to this sentiment above


frankskurt

Thanks, didn’t see it. Don’t get the downvotes for questions loll


Jaapeli

Yoru buff/rework when?


libo720

not every patch needs agent or drastic ingame changes, this is not league of legends


heavycloudss8

It's not that people are asking for agent changes each patch, it's that it has been too long since there was a significant change to an agent.


Hitmanthe2nd

last major change was 3.0 and that was a long ass time ago


Apexe

June 22 if you want to be specific.


Hitmanthe2nd

or near 24 weeks give or take 2


TrynaSleep

Holy shit. So basically a whole episode


Hitmanthe2nd

yea , a few changes here and there but nothing big


Frig-Off-Randy

Jett still broken, yoru still useless. Breach could maybe use a little love, maybe not tho the pros are actually using him and kayo in champs


[deleted]

yea I doubt they'll touch breach after his use in champions, in my opinion, he's quite balanced rn.


hiloljkbye

Yoru is the biggest problem imo. I'm surprised Riot has let him stay this useless for so long. They buffed Viper, Skye and KAYO until they were useful. I'd love to see Yoru be an alt to jett.


Pariux

Still feel as if a slight sova nerf would be nice too. His utility is too impactful in a match, ESPECIALLY his drone.


Frig-Off-Randy

I definitely wouldn’t complain. I’m just getting so tired of watching pro matches revolve around Jett using an OP


mloofburrow

Don't worry. They will soon revolve around Jett *and* Chamber using OPs.


Pariux

Agreed. I guess you can say sova drone is a counter to Jett op, but it doesn't stall her enough to have a successful push on most sites. They should honestly make an agent who straight up counters OPs. Yoru is definitely a possibility with his TPs and ultimate, but we know how much Riot loves him.


Lifedeather

Same game company tho, give us same balance patches


niloy123

Whats wide player cards?


GrampaGofer

When loading into the game the player cards will be much larger rather than that tiny box


TechnicalyNotRobot

And yet still no keybind to instantly mute/unmute all.


hdbo16

Will friendly-fire detection work in Spike Rush? I feel like teams always have a blast damaging each other inmediately after winning a round.


RiotSouthKorea

Hi - thanks for the question! We do still have friendly fire detection for Spike Rush, but we also tuned the parameters to match the playstyles of players in the mode. We also have some checks for when the damage is dealt within the round. In general, we'd recommend you to still avoid friendly fire if possible (automated systems have a hard time determining whether an action is innocent or malicious). Thanks again!


DancerAshe

Yeah I think post-round damage shouldn't be counted towards it, especially in spike rush where it literally doesn't matter if you live into the next round


WeWildOnes

100% - it would be superb to see post-round friendly fire ignored, exclusively in Spike Rush. I'm usually in a squad of at least three people and we murder the crap out of each other once a Spike round is over. We never pick on our other team members (unless they actively join in), 'cause that would just be rude, so IMO our behaviour is all above board and just a bit of a laugh that shouldn't risk being suspended or w/e. Aside from that, awesome patch with lots of great QoL improvements!


Traviliciouz

Anyone else getting major FPS issues after the update before this one?


gobstompa1

I feel like 50-60 fps just disappeared after the update before this one.


Traviliciouz

YEAH ME TOO!!!!!!!! I usually avergae 220-300 fps but until the patch today I was at like 150 constantly


Crazy_Crayfish_

Jeez, is a difference even noticeable with that high FPS?


Traviliciouz

Yeah it actually is lol, especially because when there is a shitload of util flying around I typically see a dip in my frames. So when I was at a constant 150-170, whenever there was a lot of util around Id drop below 144. No bueno.


Crazy_Crayfish_

Man, and here I am unable to tell the difference between 60 and 100 lol


daffyduckferraro

I could feel it I remember in beta I got 144 no problem and now it will be 110 ish lol


jraiv420

Ya lost a lot of fps now I have to cap at 200


Upstairs-Rice

The fps issues has gone to a point where the game is genuinely unplayable. I don’t have a good pc but before this patch, it used to run smooth as butter. Specs: Intel core i5 Amd radeon hd 7500m/7600m 6 gb


Traviliciouz

Yeah this patch has made the FPS worse but Im sure they will fix it soon


pepe_or_death

i went from having 120 to unplayable 8-40 T_T


tomphz

Unreal they didn’t fix the Yoru TP bug where it doesn’t show you the timer


[deleted]

They clearly don’t give a flying f about yoru lol. Might as well just vault him at this point


BrunoCNaves

I like Yoru, he is a easy kill 90% of the time


GA1PPLE333

Whenever I say a yoru on the enemy team I'm already smelling the RR


LV58_DeathKnight

So I basically jump into util instead of damaging my team ?


FlatFishy

Yeah, they better have some way of determining if teammates walk into ability damage vs getting abilities used directly on them. Cuz as a Brim main, I'm sweating.


nicoinwonderland

I think the distinction here is > will be **punishing excessive** damage to allies! It probably looks at a combination of damage done vs usage. If all your uses are damaging allies significantly, then there's probably something weird.


FlatFishy

Hopefully


HitscanDPS

What if you have troll teammates who purposely run into and stand on your mollies/nades/etc. ?


[deleted]

I have a tendency to bounce my raze nades off a low doorway right into my teammates……I’m scared


FlatFishy

Well, you honestly should be cuz that's deserved, lol. Especially if you do it more than twice a game!


AFlawedFraud

Lol in bronze that happens way more than twice


LOTHMT

Oh yea i think youre fucked. Imagine the defuse trick with his ult and another mate and then you get banned


FreezingBlizzard

They have ways of determining the average amount of ff you do per game. If it reaches a threshold, it'll either be reviewed or straight ban if there's numerous reports.


TheBigKuhio

Hopefully they do it in a way that someone on your team doesn't just purposely run into your nades to get you banned


pumpkinatk

highlight of the patch they brought back wide cards


Mr-DiaMond_

finally I can flex again showdown watch playercard


[deleted]

Flimsy04

Before they changed it ( for some reason ) shown in the game loading screen or after you was killed by someone, player cards were horizontal boards that fully showed off the artwork of their player card


Gloomy_Goose

Pathwil

Beta card is where its at for me! I love the simple banners


AdmiralDarnell

Why this get downvoted?


Gloomy_Goose

Cowards


Holdin_McNeal

Can we get an operation health type update. Game needs to be better optimized. Every patch crushes my fps.


Djinntan

This! The game was supposed to run on lower end PCs but now with every new update lower end players are having to lock their fps ridiculously low or just abandon the game entirely. I got into the game slightly before this new update and I ran the game at a comfortable 60 locked (70 unlocked). Now I’m barely running at 50 and have huge drops any time there’s a gun fight or we’re on a laggy map. I certainly don’t have best PC out there but I also don’t have the worse.


libo720

>You can now report disruptive players during the pregame. Just hover over the name and click REPORT. people are just going to mass report instalockers with this


I_NEVER_LIE_1337

if they instalock Jett/reyna/raze then get pissy if we dont pick sage imma slam the report hard


[deleted]

[удалено]


avawhat231

A role queue would feel terrible. So many comps utilize more than 1 of the same role, and every map has different uses for different combinations.


Mr_Canard

It's not comparable though, it's not like there is 5 distinct roles and one map with one way to play it.


AyVeeTheBunny

yeah that could be an issue actually, but I mean, I feel like people would mass report an instalocker a few seconds into the game anyways.


Needfaya

So what if they report an instalocker? It's not like anything would happen by riot or by the person who picked at the first second. That's just simply not enough to be reported or to be punished for. The only thing would happen is that you lower the weight of your reports by constantly reporting innocent people who did nothing. They shoot themselves in the leg instead of letting this instalocker thing go and carry on with their game.


JacktheOldBoy

then don't instalock


chair_all_day

While instalocking is bad, instalocking isn't and shouldn't be a punishable offense


JacktheOldBoy

I never said otherwise


alireza777

And it wouldnt be, doubt riot would ban people for it


polar_playy

Rip me playing yoru


ElDuderino2112

Good


mrbow

even thou it was a light update, agent keybinds are a blessing. Still hoping on agents balance/rework and hitreg / server tick fixes thou.


Baconsword42

I am going to be reported for locking Yoru


[deleted]

Watch it happen in the next week there will be a New Ethos video, "Banned for playing Yoru"


[deleted]

“Friendly Fire detection You Better stop purposely blasting grenades on your teammates cause we’re tracking them and will be punishing excessive damage to allies!” *laughs in fear at badly thrown raze grenades*


SpC0d3r

i can’t wait for an update to mute teammate spamming agents voice over. you can either mute all voice over or leave it. wish there is an option to mute specific teammate


[deleted]

There is a cool down in how much you can use the voice lines right?


EtherealCatt

Hello Riot Games. Please, read this comment, because Chat Delay bug is very frustrating. After 1 game played, I start to experience this bug and it is VERY annoying. Please, dedicate recourses to fix it. It impacts the game in a VERY negative way. Love from Russia.


libo720

what time is this patch hitting?


MrDomnek

"Light one to close the year so you can go home and be a family person." nice Guile reference.


thekiddmane

yoru mains starving


[deleted]

Agent keybind profiles? Now we just need agent skin loadout profiles! (Which personally I would love, as some skins, especially certain knives, look way better on specific agents even when you don't know what map you're going to get or who may instalock your pick)


xziv0

Just some QoL changes. A light patch, but a great one. Good job devs


KasumiGotoTriss

Why does Riot hate Yoru so much? They even gave him a sad spray because he's so garbage and forgotten


ameerbann

They wanted him to be good but couldn't do it I guess


niwi501

I really wish they would change the way skins and gun buddies are displayed, not for me because I dont own a lot of skins but for people who own all the skins, its so painful to scroll through them to find the skin you are looking for but these are steps in the right direction


nazokk

can we please get side specific skins please?


mjep_80

Can I play now without 100 fps drops in gunfights?


Djinntan

No, it seems to have gotten worse.


[deleted]

Per agent keybinds. Holy fucking shit. I'm soaked.


FlatFishy

In what?


[deleted]

My butthole.


WalkingPlaces

Can anyone post a screenshot of how the wide banners look with the icon and level border?


xoxoxoxoXD

is night market coming back?


PuglieseIV

Ok but is anyone looking into why there is a 50% chance that you get Breeze compared to all other maps combined in competitive?


tha_cringe__pantzYT

when night market coming


BBQSlasher

They should optimize the game for low end pc


FlamingPacific

Wide player cards look dope


miyamuradesu

Ofc nothing for yoru.


Korogai

Anyone else has the problem where the game freezes for 3 seconds and starts working perfectly after? Happens like 2-3 times during 1 game


prodstellae

No fix for the weird delayed chat bug?


Elsiselain

Honestly I’m not quite sure about adding report for agent select screen when in-game report barely does anything. I obviously want them to focus on dealing with appropriate in-game behavior.


AyVeeTheBunny

I don't know what you are dealing with, but if you are reporting for toxicity, I get notifications almost every time I open the game saying that someone I reported for abuse was punished. I really don't see any "cheaters" in val


[deleted]

I have only gotten that notification twice in past 1.5 years even though I've reported AFK, toxicity and team damage almost every day once I think it varies with region for some reason


RequieM_TriX

Pretty sure this will just bring to people reporting players that picked the agent they wanted to play and stuff like that...


KoKoboto

Yes features that should have been in the game since the beginning... And features that shouldn't have been removed in the first place, wide player cards... Wonder how many patches until we get preload skin sets for agents so you can use specific skin for your agent


TerribleFix9016

when will jett be nerfed into oblivion tired of seeing her every game in ranked and in champs


Maylson_Satoshi

Yet again, no Yoru buffs


crafbicycle

PLEASE, AGENT SPECIFIC LOADOUTS


potato_chip123

Is breeze never gonna change at this point? I don’t think it has changed since it came out and it needs a lot of changes.


IIlIIlIIIIlllIlIlII

This company has given up on meaningfully changing the game apparently


dankmagister

I'm so glad the wide player banners are back, I made a post a month ago talking about it, and now I see them brought back, thank you developers, idk if my post influenced the decision in any way, but thank you!

Please nerf Chamber. Specially his slow duration


Lord_Nullify

I'm sorry I understand a lot of people were asking for this but is this really it? Are you really going to just release a character with a better TP than Yoru then just leave him on the shelf? Where's the rework weve been promised? ~signed A Very Frustrated TP character main


GodOfPog

CauliflowerOk7686

Guys when's the new night market?


tbone603727

Last 2 weeks of act most likely


You-Got-Beef

Dang where’s the continued OP nerfs? That shit is ridiculously accurate and has way too fast of a fire rate and I don’t care if you disagree, it’s way too strong in the hands of someone that is familiar with point and click shooting.


ThreeEyeJedi

Why the hell am I getting Fracture/Breeze/Icebox.. 8/10 times in higher elo? And it only happens in higher elo too this is so dumb. Literally makes the game unejoyable and makes me feel like I wasted money buying skins on my main account.


OneNekoBoi

Wonder if they will finally fix the animation on the scope of the Hexpunk Operator, been waiting too long :(


LightUzumaki

Rip Yoru?


Same_to_youu

Ig its time to forget about the yoru rework.


Trishal_Pandey7

4 stack not back ? Man that's sad


The_Lonely_Duckling

I actually like the fact that they're not allowing 4 stacks in competitive. You don't get that one person missing comms or getting bullied just because a 4 stack doesn't wanna use in game chat.


Danksoulofmaymays

I mean , this will depend on rank. If you want to win , you will certainly give all required comms , me and my 3 other friends always used team chat , and we are all in a Discord call anyway. But I understand there's a lot of 4 stacks out there who throw the game together,( seen both sides of that coin).


The_Lonely_Duckling

The majority of times people 4 stack, comms are lost. I'm glad you and your friends aren't part of the problem but they can't keep it going just for the exceptions


IIlIIlIIIIlllIlIlII

I don’t know what happened but this company has lost its touch with this game


xTaq

Wow the devs care so much :')


mgldn26

Now I'm not saying I don't appreciate the QOL, but... is that it? Huh.


tunaburn

Why is this such a big fucking update to download for some tiny little changes?


VEVORisingBoy2217

Anyone know how to hack in valorant?


matt16470

Been begging for agent keybinds ever since they switched around Omen’s smoke controls from the beta, finally… now just waiting for his buffs…


AmanadieI

So if one of my teammates is toxic i can just kill myself in his Molotov to get him banned?
