Valorant developer, Riot Games, has addressed competitive changes, issues with Escalation on Bind, and tactical voice communication in the first Patch of Episode two Act II. Since its official release in June, Valorant has received criticism for its current competitive system. Riot Games has attempted to fix these issues over the previous Acts, but these changes have only solved minor problems. Valorant Patch 2.04 now addresses the issues with Rank Rating distribution, Act rank visibility and how ranks transfer between new Acts.
Professional Valorant player, Josh “Steel” Nissan, recently brought up the issues with Rank Rating distribution on Twitter. In response, Riot Games made it so that the amount of average RR per win will be reduced by five later in the season. This change will refine the Matchmaking Rating given to players in competitive matches and make ranks more even.
EU: 400 RR
The web leaderboard will be disabled briefly for maintenance at the start of this patch, expect it to be re-enabled within 24–48 hours
Later this patch, we’ll reduce the total amount of average RR per win/loss by 5
This is focused on reducing how often a player s Rank gets above their MMR and leads to inconsistent RR games and a wider delta between their displayed rank and MMR. These small math tweaks will be common as we try to find the correct balance for RR based on issues we are seeing in the community.
During this patch we will change demotion logic for players to start at 70RR(Previously 80RR).
The trade off of moving and shooting in
Valorant has been a frequent target of balance adjustments for Riot so far. Punishing movement too much can make the game feel unnecessarily slow and can lead to firefights that feel clunky. But not punishing movement enough causes the game to lose some of the tension and careful movement that helps make a tactical shooter like
On top of the changes to shooting, this patch also brings a fix for the Omen bug that caused his teleport to get stuck on the corners of certain objects. Now Omen players should have an easier time teleporting exactly where they mean to, instead of directly into the enemy’s crosshairs.
Valorant 2.02 Patch Notes Are Live Now
Riot s FPS is getting changes to rifle movement accuracy and Competitive mode, along with the usual bug fixes. The 2.02 patch for Valorant aims to start the process of fixing running accuracy, along with shifts to the Competitive system to help ensure players are reaching the proper rank faster while stabilizing the battle for top ranks.
One of the first things the patch is touching up is rifle movement accuracy. All rifles now have a much higher amount of error when moving and shooting. This is to help combat the sensation of running kills gained using rifles, and will make getting kills with rifles while moving more difficult (but not impossible if you can get close enough).
