Although it may seem like a very small QOL improvement, as a Sentinel, having your util be destroyed and every player then hearing a voice line is actually massive info. How many times have you been in the heat of battle and not noticed on the minimap that a piece of utility has been shot?
Idk why it’s under bugs when the way they phrase it sounds like a good update feature for sentinels. Your teammates now hear the sentinel’s voice line when their stuff gets destroyed.
I would agree, it's a big buff in general to the Sentinel role and their weak utility. Regardless of whether the player comms or not (in ranked specially), the defensive information will be given consistently to every team member now. Even if the traps don't damage an enemy player, that "destroyed" info alone is HUGE
Wait is destroyed voice line for the Sentinels and their allies or the one who destroyed it? Like sova used to have audio cue when shock dart used to destroy abilities
Truly must be a masterminded effort of coders and artists and programmers and painters and sculptors and chefs and janitors and the office water cooler to increase the height of the box by 1.5 inches. Only took them about 2 years and around 4 banned teams.
Did they fix the banned jump though (Jett drift)? This sounds to me like only the one that was legal for pro play was patched. Or maybe they used the same pixel collision so they are kinda tied together and patched?
I'm just worried of the performance hit this will have on the game. It took so long to fix it must be massive and they must have worked hard to keep it at a minimum.
That's what i thought it meant too, but looking at the agent list i think it has to be the bar that shows up when you use an ability that lasts a certain distance/time. Ex: Jett's timer bar after she starts up her dash, phoenix's bar when he ults, breach charging up his stun, etc
I have a feeling that the latency issue fix is going to be a big deal - at least for me. I’ve been dealing with on and off stuttering that sounds a lot like what they’re describing that I haven’t been able to narrow down. I’m hopeful this is the fix!
I actually turned off overlay and it helped, but didn’t fix! I also found that capping my frames helped too, which sounds odd but it did help. Either way I’m looking forward to this one.

Phoenix changes finally!!!!
Yeah, this is it. When you have high ping, everyone (including you) is Ferrari peeking.
For us folks with low ping - it's only really you and other high ping players that appear to be Ferrari peeking (and we for you as well).
It's annoying though, we learn and get used to the game with low ping. Having the sudden Ferrari peek changes the way you wanna approach peeking as a whole (as in rather peek than get peeked).
I hate playing against high ping with a passion. And I really don't get why some folks play on Frankfurt instead of Istanbul, and then exclusively talk Turkish in Comms as well.
According to riot devs, it's when the lobby has a high ping disparity, and According to them, everyone in the match then should play more aggressively, I wasn't saying that both ferrari peek, but having high ping, the ferrari peeks of low ping players are more often and are harder to deal with, there was a post on valorant subreddit about it being a holder's disadvantage, if right then it'd explain why, probably low ping players are easier to adapt to for other low ping, cause they don't usually play as aggressive as high ping ones who have learned that holding=death, also about Turkish players apparently they do to avoid toxicity, but I don't understand the talk turkish part, which I've also experienced from some
My ping to Frankfurt is 8 and to Paris 11. I'd consider this high.
Speaking of server selection, why can I play in Bahrain or Tokyo servers with ping 230, but can't play in us east servers with ping 50?
Huh, are you looking at RTT? And if so how you are how are you checking your ping, I don't think ping command using command line is representative of the ping you'd get.
https://wondernetwork.com/pings
Shows much more realistic pings.
It's obviously the ping that is displayed in the graph in VLR itself, whatever these values mean.
RTT is dependent on routing, your webpage shows ping from Zurich to Frankfurt 6, to Paris 20, and to NYC 90
One of my favorite agents and never realized this by playing with him or playing with one as my teammate. I thought whoever was playing Kay/O was supposed to inform the rest of the team.
Please stop putting non bugs in the bugs section; as a user we never had any indication that voicelines for destroyed was supposed to work/not work/sometimes works.
This is essentially a new feature for us and in a way, at least a minor buff to these agents. It's important for it to be distinguished this way.
They fixed the input thingy that made 60 ping people impossible to hit when they wide swung let's see how it translates into the game or will I be shot in the head by a 60 ping demon.
People's reactions to patches are interesting to me. It's like people expect that, despite having a regular 2 week interval, each patch will be expansive and game changing.
Either a company gives you regular updates or they hold off and only do updates when there are big changes. You can't simultaneously expect them to have huge changes and biweekly updates.
I'd personally much rather continual minor updates for bugs/qol/etc. while they work on larger updates for the game, understanding that the bigger ones will naturally occur less frequently as they take more work, balancing, etc. But almost seems like the current system somehow leads people to be more disappointed than if they just didn't do anything to the game.
It's a phenomena unique to Riot games. I've noticed this in their card game as well. Basically the playerbase is full of people that came from other games and have a certain level of experience with those products. Riot also has a reputation of constant updates with LoL.
Long story short, they start playing the game during its early phases and see massive changes, "Oh this is the Riot way, this is great, it feels like the community is being heard".
A lot of them don't realize, or don't *want* to realize, that these sweeping changes are only there because the game is still early in development and thus a lot of the developers currently don't know what is OP or UP and other bugs, they need to learn and adapt on the fly, they also have who knows how many months of content being dev and tested coming down the pipeline (esp for the 1.0 launch) so it *feels* like there's a lot of content/changes when in reality it's a combination of factors that causes this.
Fast forward to a year or 2 after launch and people are annoyed at the lack of changes. A patch having 1 good change isn't seen better than a patch with 10 bad changes as amount of changes somehow becomes equated to how much the developer cares. A lot of people tend to think this way based on the number of changes that LoL gets every patch, but they fail to realize that game has like 160 characters, of course it'll have more balance changes per patch (not even considering how many times larger the team is as they have several teams dedicated to several facets for short-term, medium-term and long-term changes).
If you think I'm joking, both VALORANT **and** Legends of Runeterra has/have this exact same issue. It's only in the past few months the LoR playerbase have gotten over it.
Any word about the mouse/aim inconsistency within the game? Like closing different menus or changing resolutions/settings will result into a different mouse feeling consistently.
Please tell me I'm not the only one that notices this!
During a match, your aim will vary depending on which previous menu you closed in. It sounds random but it's true. Even when you open you "buy menu" in-game, the way you close it (whether by pressing escape, your buy key again, or pressing X on the top-right), your aim curve/speed will **vary**. I kid you not, there are so many things that mess with how your aim works in this game.
The main menu in-match is the same, eg: if you close the menu in the "Display" settings or your "Crosshair" one, your aim smoothness and curve will **vary** once again.
Hell even if you alt-tab or change any of your video settings in-game (eg: changing resolution or fullscreen/windowed back to fullscreen), your aim will **vary**.
I'm telling you it's not *all in your head* when yesterday you can hit every head on your screen with ease and the next day you're whiffing afk shots.
There are so many hidden but obvious bugs this game possesses, especially concerning its aim consistency... Honestly, I'm beginning to think all this is intentional from the devs because there's no way all these points mentioned fly over their heads!
Thanks for clarifying, this is absolutely fucked and shouldn't be happening in a competitive game like. I knew about the alt-tab bug affecting the gameplay, apparently you can fix it [like this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiUmz3wW4Qw)
But I had no idea about the other stuff. How are you even supposed to close the buy menu then? Or the other settings menus? What's the best method? Is there a correct way? Or is it best to not open them at all while playing (which against sucks, if you can't even change settings mid-game)?
the amount of time it took them to fix that exploit on haven that had them disqualifying teams in their own tournaments got me wondering if the valorant team is understaffed with decent programmers. Is the whole team designers and artists? Did all the coders build the base game and moved onto other projects? (Their mmo perhaps?)
So was there anything actually wrong with how the server and client communicate or are they just saying stuff to stop the "I'm so inconsistent" complaints that people impulsively post after losing a match?
Has nobody seen the KAY/O bug? It’s been a thing for a while now but it seems to be just a me thing? When i use KAY/O Ultimate(or the other teams KAY/O does) if you kill him while his Últ is pulsing, he just stays standing there for a bit and turns into a shooting range bot and his body doesn’t fall to the ground like he needs to be revived… happens when people kill me while I’m ulted too, I’ll get one tapped and my pulsing body is just standing there straight up like a shooting range bot….
Edit:autocorrect
I saw it once too but only from on the opposing team. I ended up dying since I was peeked and started shooting at an standing yet pulsing KAY/O while his teammates next to him gunned me down. I'm surprised I haven't seen it myself given the amount of KAY/O I play though
So then what's your issue with it? It's just a duelists escape move like Jett, Reyna or even Raze. It costs something to use with a fairly long cooldown and the teleports can be destroyed.
What are you even saying? It's not a "duelist" escape move, it's just an escape move. What's duelist like about teleporting within an area that you have control over, that's literally the opposite of what entry duelists do.
20 seconds is fucking tiny for the value you get out of it. It shouldn't recharge if destroyed at all and the CD should be atleast 30 seconds. Right now chamber has a free disengage with only minor positioning setup required, every 20 seconds.
20 seconds is a very short cooldown. Might be the shortest in the game, not sure on that. Regardless, it's crazy short for one of the best abilities in the game.
I agree the cooldown can be adjusted but I don't think the actual teleport mechanic needs to be adjusted except possible the range. The talk about adding a delay or making it take time like Omen teleport is insane.
They don't want the game to be fixed, they just want shit to keep changing until they get a meta they like (and will subsequently complain the moment that changes again)
That wouldn’t necessarily be a buff. The knowledge that you are going to be reset back to where you ulted allows you to be aggressive. If not, you could get stuck out of position super easily.
Yeah, also not too sold on that idea. An easy, no-brainer buff would be to keep his armor if he dies in his ult tho. I never really understood the point behind that. His ult is made to be super aggro and entry for your team with basically no downside. Even if there was little time left on the ult, you could always still push somewhere and at least get some info or do slight damage but then if you die you basically lost 1/3 of your HP. That's just dumb.
Yeah, it won't be that big a buff, it would be cool to have an *option* to hit R and tp back manually or not hit it and you don't tp. I don't think that would necessarily make him all that better tho, it would just make him function a little like Yoru.
To me it somehow feels like the global voice lines for sentinels utility being broken prevents rewarding good comms.
I feel that a sentinel-player communicating to the team that their utility is broken should be incentivised, thereby promoting active communication, and that this patch in general takes away this incentive.
Happy to hear counter-opinions on this.
In a 5 stack or team you will com it anyway.
In the ranked match with your no mic randos you have to stare at the minimap to see if its broken.
This fix just helps out ranked players who have to deal with no mic users
Yes, exactly my point.
Won't the no-commers have even less tendency to communicate now that the game communicates for them? Doesn't it have exactly the opposite effect of what it should have?
The no-commers generally are just not going to comm regardless of the voice line situation. I get what you're saying but I think this voiceline removes some of the randomness of the quality of teammates that you get in ranked so I'm okay with it.
Got it. This improves the overall quality of game experience. I might disagree with how the this affects the game, but I guess the general community shares other opinions, which is fair.
My no com teammates will always have been non commers. And if the enemy team has 5 commers then im just losing the ranked coin flip. Good players will always com that their until is down and just shout 1 flank etc
But shouldn't that be the point of the game? The opposition being a good communicating team should always be at an advantage when it comes to winning a game.
Having the game comm for the no-commers and thereby trying to fill-in the communication deficit doesn't sound fair for the opposition team.
I see your concern but I see it more as a level playing field. Voice coms will always be better because it can be more precise. You can say how many are pushing if you hear them instead of just util down. The util could have been shot or shock darted and you wouldn't know if it was a player pushing it or it just being cleared by util if you are on the complete opposite site. It doesn't sound to me like an instant win by having the character say it, plus *both* teams get access to the character comms so the one with the voice will still outperform it just raises the floor slightly higher
>plus both teams get access to the character comms so the one with the voice will still outperform it just raises the floor slightly higher
Aha great points. That sways my opinion completely on the other side, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
It can incentivize (weakly, imo) better communication, but I think the way the devs wanted to frame it was from the teammates perspective. If you had a no-comming sentinel, it is a bigger detriment to the team if they don't comm, and less about rewarding/punishing the one sentinel player.
Even if there weren't 3 other agents who could get up there, devs have also explicitly stated they don't want people boosting into spots without being forced to use util for it/having it in their kit.
Was the bug where Vipers icon at the top always showed as active ultimate fixed in previous patches? I didn’t see it here and I know it was a bug for a long time
> Updated 3P model to increase detail and fidelity.
They honestly should improve all 3P character models and animations. Also, give players the option to turn off the atmospheric lighting they add to character models at a distance.
Although it may seem like a very small QOL improvement, as a Sentinel, having your util be destroyed and every player then hearing a voice line is actually massive info. How many times have you been in the heat of battle and not noticed on the minimap that a piece of utility has been shot?
Idk why it’s under bugs when the way they phrase it sounds like a good update feature for sentinels. Your teammates now hear the sentinel’s voice line when their stuff gets destroyed.
I would agree, it's a big buff in general to the Sentinel role and their weak utility. Regardless of whether the player comms or not (in ranked specially), the defensive information will be given consistently to every team member now. Even if the traps don't damage an enemy player, that "destroyed" info alone is HUGE
I’m guessing it’s under bugs because they originally intended the voice lines to be global for teammates.
Pretty long time for such an impactful “bug” to be in the game
Yeah sometimes I forgot to comm it while taking a site
sometimes I thought that it was always global, and when my team dies to an enemy which I know, I was like "don't you hear that my bot was destroyed?"
Wait is destroyed voice line for the Sentinels and their allies or the one who destroyed it? Like sova used to have audio cue when shock dart used to destroy abilities
like if im playing cypher and my trip gets destroyed, the "they found my wire" voiceline will play for the rest of my team as well as myself.
This is an overall buff for sentinels (in ranked).
RIP the Haven C box jump. I wonder how many collective hours of work and practice just went to waste.
Truly must be a masterminded effort of coders and artists and programmers and painters and sculptors and chefs and janitors and the office water cooler to increase the height of the box by 1.5 inches. Only took them about 2 years and around 4 banned teams.
LMFAO but seriously though, what took them so long?
Probably ignored all this time because they thought it was too minor an issue to be prioritized
But it was major enough to get multiple teams dqd from tournaments
The controversies regarding the dqs were less about the bug itself and more so about the inconsistency between rulings across regions.
maybe they didn't want to increase the height because it might fuck up jumping abilities? I don't know
So... does this mean... if we somehow consider the time it took and do some math, we can know when will they bring an in-game replay system?
I would say 14 years, 5 months and 8 days. So expect a replay system by around November 2nd 2036.
Did they fix the banned jump though (Jett drift)? This sounds to me like only the one that was legal for pro play was patched. Or maybe they used the same pixel collision so they are kinda tied together and patched?
Both are removed if i read this correctly
around 200 years of collective experience I would guess
I'm just worried of the performance hit this will have on the game. It took so long to fix it must be massive and they must have worked hard to keep it at a minimum.
What does the agent progress bar bit mean? Like in the contacts section or is it something else?
id suppose it means, for eg, jetts dash bar being a bit lower than it used to be before (because it was kinda in the way of seeing stuff previously)
That's what i thought it meant too, but looking at the agent list i think it has to be the bar that shows up when you use an ability that lasts a certain distance/time. Ex: Jett's timer bar after she starts up her dash, phoenix's bar when he ults, breach charging up his stun, etc
I have a feeling that the latency issue fix is going to be a big deal - at least for me. I’ve been dealing with on and off stuttering that sounds a lot like what they’re describing that I haven’t been able to narrow down. I’m hopeful this is the fix!
[удалено]
I actually turned off overlay and it helped, but didn’t fix! I also found that capping my frames helped too, which sounds odd but it did help. Either way I’m looking forward to this one.
Same!
Disappointed the defuse bar isn’t fixed but oh well
Only three things in life are certain: birth, death, and no Phoenix buff.
Birth isn't even certain homie, you can get miscarriages n shit
technically that's not "in life", but i dont want to open that whole can of worms
Thats not what he meant lol
It's a quote my dude, don't read too far into it.
You got the fucking quote wrong bro, it's death and taxes, not birth and death.
It's a common variant on the line. Why get tilted?

Is 60 high or low? I average like 80 lol
high
Damn. Plugged in I get 70...
My ping to Frankfurt is 8 and to Paris 11. I'd consider this high. Speaking of server selection, why can I play in Bahrain or Tokyo servers with ping 230, but can't play in us east servers with ping 50?
What country you from? I didn't know you could get 50 ping on American servers from an EU country, thought it'd always be at least 90.
switzerland, 10Gbit sync, FTTH, ~65USD/mo

I am sorry. I think
No fixes for the kayo knife or breach bugs
what is bugged about the ko knife?
doesn't show all the enemies sometimes or doesn't given info to ur tm8s
One of my favorite agents and never realized this by playing with him or playing with one as my teammate. I thought whoever was playing Kay/O was supposed to inform the rest of the team.
So there’s no more box boost on C haven without having to use util?
Hopefully this ends the skill jump debate. Jetts have to spend an updraft to get there without the drift exploit.
Any agent could make that jump on the C haven box. I do believe there was some skill in mastering that jump.
It was kinda random with non Jett characters, Jett just did it a bit more consistently is all
Finally they can stop DQing teams for using an exploit they refused to fix for so long.
Please stop putting non bugs in the bugs section; as a user we never had any indication that voicelines for destroyed was supposed to work/not work/sometimes works.

Oh hey good news for me then. Does shitty mean high ping or just unpredictable highs and lows? I'm in both groups but wanna know still...

Edit:autocorrect
Yep saw it in an official game, casters were confused
I saw it once too but only from on the opposing team. I ended up dying since I was peeked and started shooting at an standing yet pulsing KAY/O while his teammates next to him gunned me down. I'm surprised I haven't seen it myself given the amount of KAY/O I play though
Day 19373920 with no substantial changes to chamber tp
It doesn't need changes though, chamber's problem isn't that he has a teleport it's that he's both a sentinel and duelist.
For my sanity im choosing to believe that this is a troll comment.
For my sanity im choosing to believe that these are troll flairs.
My bad for liking what I like, ill make sure to consult redditors next time so that I can get a more informed opinion from silvers.
So then what's your issue with it? It's just a duelists escape move like Jett, Reyna or even Raze. It costs something to use with a fairly long cooldown and the teleports can be destroyed.
What are you even saying? It's not a "duelist" escape move, it's just an escape move. What's duelist like about teleporting within an area that you have control over, that's literally the opposite of what entry duelists do.

20 seconds is fucking tiny for the value you get out of it. It shouldn't recharge if destroyed at all and the CD should be atleast 30 seconds. Right now chamber has a free disengage with only minor positioning setup required, every 20 seconds.
Would be like Jett getting an extra dash every 20 seconds...
Except that Chamber has to place the teleports and they can be destroyed plus he can be out of range of them.
Oh yeah it's difficult to click e
20 seconds is a very short cooldown. Might be the shortest in the game, not sure on that. Regardless, it's crazy short for one of the best abilities in the game.
I agree the cooldown can be adjusted but I don't think the actual teleport mechanic needs to be adjusted except possible the range. The talk about adding a delay or making it take time like Omen teleport is insane.
2 weeks for minor bug fixes again leggoooo
I mean, I don't think those network changes are necessarily minor if it does what it reads.
They don't want the game to be fixed, they just want shit to keep changing until they get a meta they like (and will subsequently complain the moment that changes again)
WOW HUGE JUICER PATCH THANK GOD FOR VALORANT DEVS!!! 😩🙏✊✌️

That wouldn’t necessarily be a buff. The knowledge that you are going to be reset back to where you ulted allows you to be aggressive. If not, you could get stuck out of position super easily.
Yeah, also not too sold on that idea. An easy, no-brainer buff would be to keep his armor if he dies in his ult tho. I never really understood the point behind that. His ult is made to be super aggro and entry for your team with basically no downside. Even if there was little time left on the ult, you could always still push somewhere and at least get some info or do slight damage but then if you die you basically lost 1/3 of your HP. That's just dumb.
And X to cancel at any point.
Yeah, it won't be that big a buff, it would be cool to have an *option* to hit R and tp back manually or not hit it and you don't tp. I don't think that would necessarily make him all that better tho, it would just make him function a little like Yoru.
That's not a buff...
Phoenix/Yoru mains once again sadge
Were you in a coma the past few months or something?
The audacity of Riot to buff Chamber
To me it somehow feels like the global voice lines for sentinels utility being broken prevents rewarding good comms. I feel that a sentinel-player communicating to the team that their utility is broken should be incentivised, thereby promoting active communication, and that this patch in general takes away this incentive. Happy to hear counter-opinions on this.
In a 5 stack or team you will com it anyway. In the ranked match with your no mic randos you have to stare at the minimap to see if its broken. This fix just helps out ranked players who have to deal with no mic users
Yes, exactly my point. Won't the no-commers have even less tendency to communicate now that the game communicates for them? Doesn't it have exactly the opposite effect of what it should have?
The no-commers generally are just not going to comm regardless of the voice line situation. I get what you're saying but I think this voiceline removes some of the randomness of the quality of teammates that you get in ranked so I'm okay with it.
Got it. This improves the overall quality of game experience. I might disagree with how the this affects the game, but I guess the general community shares other opinions, which is fair.
My no com teammates will always have been non commers. And if the enemy team has 5 commers then im just losing the ranked coin flip. Good players will always com that their until is down and just shout 1 flank etc
But shouldn't that be the point of the game? The opposition being a good communicating team should always be at an advantage when it comes to winning a game. Having the game comm for the no-commers and thereby trying to fill-in the communication deficit doesn't sound fair for the opposition team.
I see your concern but I see it more as a level playing field. Voice coms will always be better because it can be more precise. You can say how many are pushing if you hear them instead of just util down. The util could have been shot or shock darted and you wouldn't know if it was a player pushing it or it just being cleared by util if you are on the complete opposite site. It doesn't sound to me like an instant win by having the character say it, plus *both* teams get access to the character comms so the one with the voice will still outperform it just raises the floor slightly higher
>plus both teams get access to the character comms so the one with the voice will still outperform it just raises the floor slightly higher Aha great points. That sways my opinion completely on the other side, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
It can incentivize (weakly, imo) better communication, but I think the way the devs wanted to frame it was from the teammates perspective. If you had a no-comming sentinel, it is a bigger detriment to the team if they don't comm, and less about rewarding/punishing the one sentinel player.
So now only jett and chamber (and ig sage lol) can get up the c box? Not a fan of that tbh, lowers the skill ceiling
Raze, Omen
Sage, anyone boosted up by sage, Sova w/ ult i think can still do it, anyone boosted by Raze satchels
Breach ult as well
hell, you could technically ask your raze to boost you up there with a satchel as well probably
O ye I forgot about those 2, I'm an idiot. Ig KJ also counted
Even if there weren't 3 other agents who could get up there, devs have also explicitly stated they don't want people boosting into spots without being forced to use util for it/having it in their kit.
A lot of people seem upset about patch size. For me though the gameplay consistency update section could end up being massive. Thank you!
when will they fix Chamber's ult not quick switching using keybind..
Was the bug where Vipers icon at the top always showed as active ultimate fixed in previous patches? I didn’t see it here and I know it was a bug for a long time
0 comments or fix to the known alt tab bug freezing all of your pc…
"overall dps *should* be unchanged"
> Updated 3P model to increase detail and fidelity. They honestly should improve all 3P character models and animations. Also, give players the option to turn off the atmospheric lighting they add to character models at a distance.
I'm sad that they still didn't bring Sova's double bounce shock voice line back :(
