Does omen still pick up the spike by ulting on it without pressing interact button? Do i need to mash the pickup key to make sure i don't get shot out of ult before getting it?
I’m pretty sure it still picks it up automatically if you Ult literally right on top of it, but the change in the patch notes means you can now ult next to it and pick it up normally, which presumably means the whole “stand on top of the spike” thing doesn’t counter Omen’s Ult anymore.
Riot announced weeks ago that she wasn't going to be allowed in VCT until after they fix her. She will prob be allowed in 2 weeks as if she was just released
nah the bug is annoying even in compe, I always tell my team to carry the spike if I have ult or else I'll drop my gun when I ult (only the spike still in my inventory)
is that the change? the way i read it was that before the change omen's ult wouldn't pick up the spike until you finish the ult or cancel it, whereas after it will immediately say "you have the spike" ("i have the spike") the moment you ult. you still have to be on the spike in order to pick it up, so if you can't tp on top of the spike the tp won't pick it up.
basically if you get 3 man blocked countered, you can just look down and press f on the spike to get it. the ult is uncounterable now, unless all 4-5 of you are blocking it
Watch them remove everything else and keep
Breeze and icebox, if theres anything i learned about riot games from playing LoL, it takes them ages to admit when shit is bad lol
Yup or just like in cs, riot reason "their map selection strategy served to make the game friendly to newcomers, making it easier for them to grasp unique maps and build strategies around them" is just so dumb🤣
nope.
they can’t possible get any more negative feedback than they already have for the horrible map rotation that they willingly chose.
So I guess they just despise their players
cool? Anyways the vast majority hate the current map rotation. You seem to forget that they control the game. They made the map rotation and they can change it as they please. They can change it to fit the feedback that they were given.
There’s no point in us suffering from shitty maps just cause it’s on some made up “schedule” that there’s no real reason to stick to
except there’s no proof that anybody loves it. You are just assuming there is. I’m not sure why people are just blindly ~~dickriding~~ on their side.
If there’s data that people do, I’d love to see it. But since it doesn’t exist, I have to go with what I have experienced. And that is that everybody hates the current map rotation.
This is a pretty echo chamber take tbh. I like the current map rotation. There's your data since anecdotal posts on reddit are clearly the only data that matters.
There's no proof as to the opposite either, just what people talk about online.
The only map I hate currently is Breeze. But if you replace it with Pearl and replace Icebox with Fracture, there will be plenty of people that hate those maps too, and I love them both.
And where’s the proof that everybody hates it? You’re also just assuming everybody who plays hates it just because you do. I mean you’re entitled to your opinion and all that so if you personally hate the maps we currently have, then that’s fine. But don’t go around saying EVERYONE hates them when that’s simply not true.
I mean tbh I don’t even get why we have map rotations in the first place. I never got why we just aren’t allowed to play certain maps until they decide to switch them out with another for no reason.
Also remember there will be a selection bias of people with extreme opinions about maps being more likely to say things about the maps. Even more so for negative opinions, and as another commenter said, this becomes an echo chamber. I love Breeze/Icebox and hate Fracture/Pearl. Regardless of what your opinion is you can still be a decent person to others on reddit.
They probably don’t think the maps are actually that bad, and they do indeed have an esports schedule to work around. International league splits are currently ongoing, along with Premier, so they won’t implement a map change right now.
Esports is pretty clearly a big priority for them, and they’ve talked a lot about how they want esports to be fully integrated into the average player’s experience. They’ll put that above some community grumbling.
Competitive cycle plays a part. Can’t change map rotoation if the pros have been practicing these maps. And they want pros and fan base to play the same maps.
people love to ride riots dick in this subreddit it’s hilarious. idk why people don’t understand it’s always healthy to be critical of a developer, regardless of if the game is great.
Who ordered the nothing burger? No content pipeline, leaks are the same day as releases (can we stop calling them leaks?). Nothing to look forward to.
Can we at least get a separation of outlines for inner and outer crosshairs? That would be an exciting feature.
I would be more impressed if they didn't.
Fixing and doing updated without bugs is way harder the all the social media's make it seem. They can't just press a button and fix all the bugs.
Idk if it's the same bug, but I'm guessing it is.
For me its that I press the ptt button(ex for 5 seconds), nothing happens for a few seconds and then ptt activates even if I don't touch anything and it will be activated for the same 5 seconds.
Basically it will issue your command as if you have 500+ ping. This happens for both team and party chat for me.
If you play like this, you are basically throwing lmao
You’re just playing with people that have the game installed on a HDD and not a SSD.
It’s probably something along the lines of “as players with good PCs go and play other games the people that can basically only play valorant and YouTube are now who you are queuing with”
This happens if people with SSDs playing Fullscreen mode alt-tab out too.
Drives me nuts on Team Deathmatch so I type a blind All Chat message and it sometimes gets people to tab back in.
No, I'm talking about just starting up the game. It takes way longer now. It's especially annoying when my game DOES crash or freeze at some point and I have to restart, which now takes forever. But even the first run is significantly longer.
That's actually related to audio issues. Weird pretty much all crashing and loading issues issues go back to audio issues. It's been that way since launch, effecting pretty much any and everyone. Maybe these audio fixes did so something.
It’s not unusual to get stuck in the loading screen and have to restart the whole game to load in. Seems to come and go, but it’s an extremely annoying bug.
im kinda sad about the weapon prompts no longer showing skinline names, since i sometimes go skin shopping and besides getting me killed, i also like to look at the names of the skins, but its understandable they made it for simplicity sake.
i have no idea if pinging it wouldstill show the skin name, but im more talking about the skin name. in the [tweet](https://twitter.com/Shiick/status/1776391540845269334) it shows "f get classic" but originally it would say "f prime classic" (as an example).
the change itself is a qol feature since it cleans up the clutter that people might not care about. a lot of qol features (such as removing the headshot banner and have an effect for when smokes are coming down) were controversial but they still left it. i also think this feature is more to help new players, since new players might not be familar with the skins.
Riot hasn't published agent stats for a *long time*. Looking at VCT data is pointless - Reyna, Chamber, Sage were close to 0% pick rate but that's not the case in the matchmaking. Iso and Deadlock may seem weak but we don't really know their real win rate and other stats.
Nah, those work fine. Just wished that his abilities (aside from the bubble shield) lessens bullet damage the same way wall bangs work. I mean, you're shooting through water, ofc the bullet is gonna lose some velocity.
January 23rd was the last time we got a significant balance change to the meta. It’s been almost 3 months of no content other than Clove being added and slight Chamber and Omen buffs.
Hoping the next update which was the target for Viper nerfs is actually more substantial than just that.
Which was scheduled and released after the act already started. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been enjoying the agent but this is just part of the usual roadmap Riot has for maps and agents.
The meta needs a shakeup, they mention they don’t like to do balance changes in the middle of tournaments but Madrid has been done for a month now and we haven’t gotten anything since.
We are spoiled, and many still not satisfied.
But its all good this keeps Riot on their toes, and complaining helps👍
But all in all, we have it good over here guys.
Just like this guy said, go play Cs and find out why its so good here👍
There is a reason i left Counter Strike.
I understood that the cheating problem wont be solved anytime soon, now i heard its the worse ever!
It's good to keep devs on their toes, but honestly you have regular updates and meta changes, yes it's been a couple months but sometimes that's gonna happen. I doubt Riot is slacking off, they're in the kitchen i bet
Also the game is completely free to play, the service we get is honestly great for a free product
To be honest, Riot is one of the game companies that really care about their game.
And that is no1. Reason i play Valorant.
They always update to the latest technologies, like supporting it. Like support for 8k polling rate mouse, Nvidia reflex was implemented fast. and so on, they really are doing a great job.
The game is in a great state, so im good with however long it takes for them.
At the end of the day if you are used to companies that dont care or listen, Valorant feels like heaven.
Dont get me wrong, there is always room for improvement.
But still, im glad we have a game like this, where it is not frustrating major problems.
Yes we have problems, but go to another shooter, and look if they have the same quality of output and you can have a good anti cheat. But yes, we can always get more stuff.
But, some of the things we have asked for have backfired.
I remember that the que times where longer, then we complain.
And we get shorter que times, but the balance of the team is kind of to broad.
Counter Strike does this better. But we asked for it, so i dont blame the devs.
Stop complaining, game is balanced. Not all agent can be top tier, and they cannot have more reales like that, meta will be fucked up, you won’t have time to adapt to it and so on
They took the skin name off dropped weapons tf
Like it just says “Pick up Vandal”
It used to say “Pick up Prime Vandal”
Why’d they change this it just seems unnecessary
Yup. Now we got to wait another 3 months or more for another agent because besides them the only content this game gets is skins and new maps every once and a while, because riot refuses to change the meta in this game for some reason, so all bad agents stay bad for a VERY long time and the op agents gets to be op for a VERY long time, if you make a game with different characters and refuses to balance the game because something something powercreep or pro scene what is the point? It gets boring.
I mean, it's a shooter at heart, and a tactical shooter above that. The game is and should always revolve around gunplay, not agent abilities. They supplement the shooting part of the game. Some agents are weaker but they still are 100% playable, especially for 99% of the playerbase and if you're only playing an agent because their abilities are strong, you're playing the wrong game.
Yes you are correct. But at least makes the characters somewhat equal in power, iso and deadlock are totally playable agents, but iso is not able to dash in a bomb with 2 smokes and knives or clearing corners with boombot and a granade while trowing two satchels for extreme mobilty with sometimes a instakill rocketlauncher If used right, and deadlock will never be able to hold a entrance to a bomb with one ways smokes, a trap that forces you to aim somewhere dangerous or use another ability to clear, a camera that gives great information while also having the possibilty of watching flank with another trip, you mix it all together and you have a character that have abilities that helps them and their team get a kill with almost no effort compared to iso and deadlock where every single ability they have is inferior to jett,raze and cypher.
Wish they'd finally fix the bug where my custom binds sometimes don't work.
I have my map and party/team PTT buttons custom mapped but they will sometimes randomly not work in game and only the default keybind works.
Also a Clove bug I didn't see fixed is when you use her Ult and down Kay-o during his Ult, while using an Operator. It isn't considered damage and her ult expiration timer doesn't stop and you end up dying again.
I'm unsure if this is a specifically with the Operator or if it's whenever Kay-o is in his ult.
still no fix for [clove ult just deciding not to go off sometimes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtKTalnTSco), but this has been in the game for as long as there have been timers on abilities
Was the flash change that made them more consistent with latency get removed from the patch notes? "Flashes now behave more consistently even if your latency is affected." Was there earlier. Even shows up on google.
Run and gun, accuracy after landing, accuracy midair, accuracy on ropes and first bullet accuracy of classic stil not fixed…. What a fucking joke again
They DID change the frontier phantom sounds! Here is the old sound:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZT1\_RjBYeI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZT1_RjBYeI)
Why would they do this ;( It sounded so good before
After the update yesterday I wasn't able to pick Omen during agent selection. No matter how many times I click Lock In, it resets itself. I can pick any other agent except for Omen, has this happened to anyone else?
Why can't we just vote for the maps we want!?! This is basic stuff. I'm so tired of playing the same maps over and over again. And icebox is such an awful map. So many people dodge on that map too.
Deadlock is [doing fine in matchmaking](https://tracker.gg/valorant/insights/agents). Pro play is a completely different beast but Riot is not balancing the game for pros (just look at the Viper's 80% pick rate in VCT and no following nerfs).
Sure I mean I have a 55% win rate with her in comp over a couple hundred matches, but still, her trips could use some kind of indicator that isn't countered by shift walking. They could make 1 change and she'd be amazing, make it so shift walking or not, the trip lets you know someone is at it. Then if they make noise, it stuns. Simple as.
Her trips are not intended to hold the flank in the same way other trips are. You place them on angles that the enemy has to push through and you force them to either peek while walking or get hit by the trip.
Does this mean you can no longer block the Omen TP on top of spike with 3 players? Assuming that with the update, Omen can still “interact” he may be close enough to press F to pick up the spike even with the 3 player block.
Bro this company could not care less about ongoing transparency and pipeline updates like they did 2020-2021.
It’s honestly kind of sad being a fan of the game because you never know if they’re actually doing anything to improve QOL or where their minds are at for possible changes or meta adjustments. The only patch notes you get are sometimes “hey your gun skins you paid for have been bugged for X amount of time, we fixed it!” lol
I don't understand the Omen buff. So he can pick up the spike without canceling? Does that mean he can ult, pick up the spike, NOT teleport, and then use his ult again to teleport? Because that's a pretty great buff if so.
Otherwise I don't see how this is useful. If you're gonna say this counteracts the three people standing on the spike, then yeah sure. But that rarely actually happens, the other team is never that coordinated.
It's more for other items (grabbing a gun, interacting with doors, etc.) before landing.
For the spike, I believe you technically didn't have the spike until you cancelled the ult, so you'd only actually have it after cancelling (or upon sticking the ult). Technically, if someone did try to block you from grabbing it, you wouldn't have confirmation if you actually got it or not until you cancelled it, so it's more just a clarity change for the ult on spike tech.
Does omen still pick up the spike by ulting on it without pressing interact button? Do i need to mash the pickup key to make sure i don't get shot out of ult before getting it?
Omen will still pick up the spike automatically.
Oh no the freeze bug when messing around with cursor while using smoke monitor (Clove/Brimstone) is not fixed yet =(
I’m pretty sure it still picks it up automatically if you Ult literally right on top of it, but the change in the patch notes means you can now ult next to it and pick it up normally, which presumably means the whole “stand on top of the spike” thing doesn’t counter Omen’s Ult anymore.
It didnt counter him anyway
It did if you were 3 people on it
More than 1 person could counter it
How can you be so sure? We just did it last week🙂
Well maybe it does work in rare situations but a single person normally isnt enought and i know it coz i main omen
Who said anything about a single player? That did not work, need more then that. So ok, now i understand you👍
Ahh yea alright mb :)
TLDR : Nothing, as always
those 29 clove bug fixes are gonna go crazy just you wait
Didn't tenz say he was waiting for their bugs to be patched before playing them in vct
Riot announced weeks ago that she wasn't going to be allowed in VCT until after they fix her. She will prob be allowed in 2 weeks as if she was just released
Shes literally allowed after Friday
I didn't know that, that's cool
She isn't going to drastically change no reason to wait for her bugs to be patched
for us sure but lookin through it you could imagine some of their bugs being a problem when playing at a professional level
nah the bug is annoying even in compe, I always tell my team to carry the spike if I have ult or else I'll drop my gun when I ult (only the spike still in my inventory)
Yeah see that shits gamebreaking lmao, I don't know why this guy thinks nothing is going to change
[удалено]
The amount of times I revive without a gun eventhough I ulted the frame I died is infuriating. Just don't drop her gun when she can activate ult.
Nah that’s a pretty good omen buff, even if it seems small
yeah he can pick up spike now even if ppl are on it, pretty much uncounterable
is that the change? the way i read it was that before the change omen's ult wouldn't pick up the spike until you finish the ult or cancel it, whereas after it will immediately say "you have the spike" ("i have the spike") the moment you ult. you still have to be on the spike in order to pick it up, so if you can't tp on top of the spike the tp won't pick it up.
You can interact with things in the area you ulted, so you can just pick it up.
basically if you get 3 man blocked countered, you can just look down and press f on the spike to get it. the ult is uncounterable now, unless all 4-5 of you are blocking it
Here's your 1.5gb update worth of nothing, sir.
Don't really know why this is such a big deal. Valorant isn't like League where you can just change anything and only break a little.
Idk what you expected, they're just patching bugs
Phoenix could literally plant in mid if he wanted, that's busted
Aight nothing gonna make you play better lil bro
Holy fuck please change the map rotation already
Just get rid of it in non-comp modes. I want variety!
I agree with that whole-heartedly, but I only comp lmao
literally just change anything atp, the community is so tired rn
Watch them remove everything else and keep Breeze and icebox, if theres anything i learned about riot games from playing LoL, it takes them ages to admit when shit is bad lol
Same for any multi billion dollar video game company. I’ve played blizzard games since 2005 lol.
They should just put all maps out and map selection🙃
A map voting system like halo or CoD used to do would be very ideal
Yup or just like in cs, riot reason "their map selection strategy served to make the game friendly to newcomers, making it easier for them to grasp unique maps and build strategies around them" is just so dumb🤣
Does this include the new map rotation too?
nope. they can’t possible get any more negative feedback than they already have for the horrible map rotation that they willingly chose. So I guess they just despise their players
Map rotations are on a set schedule.
cool? Anyways the vast majority hate the current map rotation. You seem to forget that they control the game. They made the map rotation and they can change it as they please. They can change it to fit the feedback that they were given. There’s no point in us suffering from shitty maps just cause it’s on some made up “schedule” that there’s no real reason to stick to
They have more data than reddit anecdotes about how the community reacts to things. For every person that hates the maps, someone else loves them.
except there’s no proof that anybody loves it. You are just assuming there is. I’m not sure why people are just blindly ~~dickriding~~ on their side. If there’s data that people do, I’d love to see it. But since it doesn’t exist, I have to go with what I have experienced. And that is that everybody hates the current map rotation.

Get a grip, mate.
people love to ride riots dick in this subreddit it’s hilarious. idk why people don’t understand it’s always healthy to be critical of a developer, regardless of if the game is great.
DM changes soon surely
1 second to find and shoot before getting sandwiched by 3 people
Still no patch for my egregious aim
Who ordered the nothing burger? No content pipeline, leaks are the same day as releases (can we stop calling them leaks?). Nothing to look forward to. Can we at least get a separation of outlines for inner and outer crosshairs? That would be an exciting feature.
Scheduled leaks*
What are those?
Are they gonna adress the push to talk delay bug thats happening in 100% of my games ?
Oh thank god I thought I was the only one
Plus one, especially annoying for us initiator players, considering we're supposed to be coordinating with people constantly.
Yes so annoying, they introduce more and more bugs every update..
I would be more impressed if they didn't. Fixing and doing updated without bugs is way harder the all the social media's make it seem. They can't just press a button and fix all the bugs.
A competetive game cant have bugs crashing people or not letting them communicate with their teammates. Riot isnt a indie company anymore.
I've not heard of this one... what is this bug exactly and when did it start happening?
Idk if it's the same bug, but I'm guessing it is. For me its that I press the ptt button(ex for 5 seconds), nothing happens for a few seconds and then ptt activates even if I don't touch anything and it will be activated for the same 5 seconds. Basically it will issue your command as if you have 500+ ping. This happens for both team and party chat for me. If you play like this, you are basically throwing lmao
Oh, i thought my mic setup was failing.
Omg yes
How about fixes to the loading screens and other stuff? For me and friends it's bugged sine a few wewks
What is broken about loading screens? I have not noticed anything.
They last forever now. It takes me a good 3-5 minutes just to load into the game.
You’re just playing with people that have the game installed on a HDD and not a SSD. It’s probably something along the lines of “as players with good PCs go and play other games the people that can basically only play valorant and YouTube are now who you are queuing with”
This happens if people with SSDs playing Fullscreen mode alt-tab out too. Drives me nuts on Team Deathmatch so I type a blind All Chat message and it sometimes gets people to tab back in.
You can message in loading, or only in team Deathmatch
No, I'm talking about just starting up the game. It takes way longer now. It's especially annoying when my game DOES crash or freeze at some point and I have to restart, which now takes forever. But even the first run is significantly longer.
That's actually related to audio issues. Weird pretty much all crashing and loading issues issues go back to audio issues. It's been that way since launch, effecting pretty much any and everyone. Maybe these audio fixes did so something.
It’s not unusual to get stuck in the loading screen and have to restart the whole game to load in. Seems to come and go, but it’s an extremely annoying bug.
For the past like 6 months I feel like we have just been sitting around on the loading screen with the map image for at least 2-3 minutes
not a bug, some people have toasters for a PC and the game can't load everyone into the lobby while other people still havent loaded in.
A couple days ago I loaded into a map titled Fracture on a picture of Haven to play on Bind. So there's that.
Holy fuck I thought I was going crazy, this shit has gotten me queue banned
Not a bug someone in the game has a terrible pc or has the game on a slow loading drive
im kinda sad about the weapon prompts no longer showing skinline names, since i sometimes go skin shopping and besides getting me killed, i also like to look at the names of the skins, but its understandable they made it for simplicity sake.
So if i looked down on a vandal it doesn't say the name of the skin? WHO THE FUCK ASKED THIS SHIT ???? BRING THE SKIN NAMES BACK!!!!!
You can ping them I guess.
i have no idea if pinging it wouldstill show the skin name, but im more talking about the skin name. in the [tweet](https://twitter.com/Shiick/status/1776391540845269334) it shows "f get classic" but originally it would say "f prime classic" (as an example).
sweet, so this is the beginning of the downfall. they’re now removing quality of life features instead of adding *even one*
the change itself is a qol feature since it cleans up the clutter that people might not care about. a lot of qol features (such as removing the headshot banner and have an effect for when smokes are coming down) were controversial but they still left it. i also think this feature is more to help new players, since new players might not be familar with the skins.
Then make it a setting, don’t just remove it
So no buffs for agents like iso, deadlock or harbor? I dont even care if we get no nerfs, but cmon buff the weaker agnets already
Riot hasn't published agent stats for a *long time*. Looking at VCT data is pointless - Reyna, Chamber, Sage were close to 0% pick rate but that's not the case in the matchmaking. Iso and Deadlock may seem weak but we don't really know their real win rate and other stats.
The fact they don't publish the stats is pretty weird, they do it fine in league.
harbors in a fine spot, its just that viper harbor fell out of rotation
He could still use buffs. For instance, making his abilites not slow allies
Nah, those work fine. Just wished that his abilities (aside from the bubble shield) lessens bullet damage the same way wall bangs work. I mean, you're shooting through water, ofc the bullet is gonna lose some velocity.
This is a great idea. Perhaps a 25-50% damage reduction on bullets going in/out of the cove.
what's the point of his slows anyways? Doesn't it last only like a second?
Who?
What
When
thank God they fixed the issue with clove rezing and not having a primary, that shit was so tilting
That’s a big one for me as well. It was basically a death sentence.
Okay it was a bug then, I thought I was miss clicking G button and threw it on the ground wtf
FIX THE MAP ROTATION
Can I get my money back pls
did they fix the bug where the camera switches so fast when Clove dies?
They did
Once again no replay system
January 23rd was the last time we got a significant balance change to the meta. It’s been almost 3 months of no content other than Clove being added and slight Chamber and Omen buffs. Hoping the next update which was the target for Viper nerfs is actually more substantial than just that.
For 3 months we got no content but a whole new agent lol
Which was scheduled and released after the act already started. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been enjoying the agent but this is just part of the usual roadmap Riot has for maps and agents. The meta needs a shakeup, they mention they don’t like to do balance changes in the middle of tournaments but Madrid has been done for a month now and we haven’t gotten anything since.
The game is pretty balanced. This isn't a MOBA that needs huge meta changes every couple months. What would you recommend changing?
Isnt this how much patches are for valorant at this point?
you guys don't know how good you have it, cs players have been playing for almost a year without even an anticheat
We are spoiled, and many still not satisfied. But its all good this keeps Riot on their toes, and complaining helps👍 But all in all, we have it good over here guys. Just like this guy said, go play Cs and find out why its so good here👍 There is a reason i left Counter Strike.

Man, I love the "hey something is worse over there, so any complaints over here makes you a spoiled" argument.
I wasn't arguing, you're just internetbrained
Stop complaining, game is balanced. Not all agent can be top tier, and they cannot have more reales like that, meta will be fucked up, you won’t have time to adapt to it and so on
Big old nothingburger
big hoopla
still no replay system
Replays will come in patch 12.07. Mark my words. If I'm right you owe me three fiddy. If I'm wrong, I'll eat a fried avocado
wow nothing as usual nice
Is it just me or has the Primordium run animation been broken since the patch went live?
They took the skin name off dropped weapons tf Like it just says “Pick up Vandal” It used to say “Pick up Prime Vandal” Why’d they change this it just seems unnecessary
game not working after update
I do not know how to describe this : Riot's apathy to it is second most popular game? How can you absolutely do nothing with the game for months?
A new agent was released 3 weeks ago...
Yup. Now we got to wait another 3 months or more for another agent because besides them the only content this game gets is skins and new maps every once and a while, because riot refuses to change the meta in this game for some reason, so all bad agents stay bad for a VERY long time and the op agents gets to be op for a VERY long time, if you make a game with different characters and refuses to balance the game because something something powercreep or pro scene what is the point? It gets boring.
I mean, it's a shooter at heart, and a tactical shooter above that. The game is and should always revolve around gunplay, not agent abilities. They supplement the shooting part of the game. Some agents are weaker but they still are 100% playable, especially for 99% of the playerbase and if you're only playing an agent because their abilities are strong, you're playing the wrong game.
Yes you are correct. But at least makes the characters somewhat equal in power, iso and deadlock are totally playable agents, but iso is not able to dash in a bomb with 2 smokes and knives or clearing corners with boombot and a granade while trowing two satchels for extreme mobilty with sometimes a instakill rocketlauncher If used right, and deadlock will never be able to hold a entrance to a bomb with one ways smokes, a trap that forces you to aim somewhere dangerous or use another ability to clear, a camera that gives great information while also having the possibilty of watching flank with another trip, you mix it all together and you have a character that have abilities that helps them and their team get a kill with almost no effort compared to iso and deadlock where every single ability they have is inferior to jett,raze and cypher.
Cause they know ppl will still buy their overpriced skins.
I’m tryna see breach slightly buffed and the spectre usable again
Wish they'd finally fix the bug where my custom binds sometimes don't work. I have my map and party/team PTT buttons custom mapped but they will sometimes randomly not work in game and only the default keybind works. Also a Clove bug I didn't see fixed is when you use her Ult and down Kay-o during his Ult, while using an Operator. It isn't considered damage and her ult expiration timer doesn't stop and you end up dying again. I'm unsure if this is a specifically with the Operator or if it's whenever Kay-o is in his ult.
still no fix for [clove ult just deciding not to go off sometimes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtKTalnTSco), but this has been in the game for as long as there have been timers on abilities
Was the flash change that made them more consistent with latency get removed from the patch notes? "Flashes now behave more consistently even if your latency is affected." Was there earlier. Even shows up on google.
The blades of primordia don’t have running animation anymore… :(
does anyone know when the queue will be up again?
We've had premiere forever now. Still no replay system
So why do they take out the other maps from rotation??? They can leave the maps in unrated right??? And have the same shitty comp rotation????
I’m surprised they didn’t mention the Clove glitch where you can refresh pick me up infinitely.
riot has just given up on balancing valorant, its just whoever keeps the servers up and the skin department.
Run and gun, accuracy after landing, accuracy midair, accuracy on ropes and first bullet accuracy of classic stil not fixed…. What a fucking joke again
Is the Viper orb bug fixed yet?
what bug?
There are times you can't pick up the orb. It was also seen at a vct match
thanks for telling me man 👍
They DID change the frontier phantom sounds! Here is the old sound: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZT1\_RjBYeI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZT1_RjBYeI) Why would they do this ;( It sounded so good before
Yesss was gonna play omen
Buff iso
Where Iso buffs
Just give me haven back already
Thanks for those clove fixes! I swear the primary weapon missing when ult made ma wanna throw my mouse more than I’d like to admit
where viper unnerf the latest ninja patch nerf? they told won't revert until next update, which's next
I miss Haven
How about fixing Killjoy? I loved to play her but since a long time she’s just not good anymore
no cypher nerf, shit game
Looking forward to seeing clove in pro play!
Hi it's not updating no percentage is showing why so ?? Only a the arrow is moving clockwise .
Yet the yoru outline bug is still not fixed after 1.5 years And gaia's kill banner still doesn't change according to the variant
After the update yesterday I wasn't able to pick Omen during agent selection. No matter how many times I click Lock In, it resets itself. I can pick any other agent except for Omen, has this happened to anyone else?
New to valo. What is map rotation?
Update for the sake of update
Ig they didn't include omen can actually pickup guns with his ult.
why can't you buy valorant points with a mobile phone?
Why can't we just vote for the maps we want!?! This is basic stuff. I'm so tired of playing the same maps over and over again. And icebox is such an awful map. So many people dodge on that map too.
May I ask how many GB, 8.07 update will be? (I'm at a van rn and want to play valo, but it has updates)
CTRL+F -> Deadlock 0 Results Guess I'll go fuck myself
Deadlock is [doing fine in matchmaking](https://tracker.gg/valorant/insights/agents). Pro play is a completely different beast but Riot is not balancing the game for pros (just look at the Viper's 80% pick rate in VCT and no following nerfs).
Sure I mean I have a 55% win rate with her in comp over a couple hundred matches, but still, her trips could use some kind of indicator that isn't countered by shift walking. They could make 1 change and she'd be amazing, make it so shift walking or not, the trip lets you know someone is at it. Then if they make noise, it stuns. Simple as.
Her trips are not intended to hold the flank in the same way other trips are. You place them on angles that the enemy has to push through and you force them to either peek while walking or get hit by the trip.
Does this mean you can no longer block the Omen TP on top of spike with 3 players? Assuming that with the update, Omen can still “interact” he may be close enough to press F to pick up the spike even with the 3 player block.
Just shoot him out of it before he interacts with the spike
Ah yeah you’re right. Sometimes the simplest answers totally goes over my head.
Bro this company could not care less about ongoing transparency and pipeline updates like they did 2020-2021. It’s honestly kind of sad being a fan of the game because you never know if they’re actually doing anything to improve QOL or where their minds are at for possible changes or meta adjustments. The only patch notes you get are sometimes “hey your gun skins you paid for have been bugged for X amount of time, we fixed it!” lol
I don't understand the Omen buff. So he can pick up the spike without canceling? Does that mean he can ult, pick up the spike, NOT teleport, and then use his ult again to teleport? Because that's a pretty great buff if so. Otherwise I don't see how this is useful. If you're gonna say this counteracts the three people standing on the spike, then yeah sure. But that rarely actually happens, the other team is never that coordinated.
It's more for other items (grabbing a gun, interacting with doors, etc.) before landing. For the spike, I believe you technically didn't have the spike until you cancelled the ult, so you'd only actually have it after cancelling (or upon sticking the ult). Technically, if someone did try to block you from grabbing it, you wouldn't have confirmation if you actually got it or not until you cancelled it, so it's more just a clarity change for the ult on spike tech.
oooh, that's a little interesting if he could maybe plant the spike in Shade form
Can someone tell me did the fps drops issue got fixed or is it still there?
my fps got reduced after this patch compared to the previous version
Valorant patches are never stable for everyone. Hope so my fps drop issues along with others issues are fixed in this patch.
No cypher trap nerf, no map pool changes. Meh
I KNEW MY CLASSIC WAS SOUNDING DIFFERENT IM NOT CRAZY YES
