Valorant Dev Tracker

I would say don't hold your breath, but my crystal ball on this topic is just as good as yours (my job on VAL has nothing to do with this kind of decision).

Sorry y'all, this was a misunderstanding. See correction in the original thread:

uh whoops I'm so sorry I thought this said Vanguard for Mac. Apologies for the confusion there.

what a cutie!!!

so adorable!

Sorry this part of the experience is unclear. We're working on making it better. If you queue up for the tournament and you're the only team in queue when the queue ends, you automatically win and we grant the rewards manually usually in the following week.

Sorry about this experience 😞 here’s how we’re planning on handling the tournaments that ran into issues. https://x.com/totalhavok/status/1823901747582263305

Love this! Do you love Omen and Singularity, or the color purple?

Champions 2024!

2021 def has the best kill sound

I'll get on adding it to the next patch notes on Monday, would be in 9.04 notes most likely.

Neon can sprint and slide unlimitedly during the pre-round because:

• it's enjoyable to fidget with
• also the slide is also a somewhat difficult learning process on the inputs side, so being able to practice it during low-stakes pre-round is nice

Chamber we've discussed removing his free verticality TPs from in the past, but opted not to given:

• free-pre-round boosting is usually done to defensively posture on angles, (especially with a sniper rifle) which we view as a part of Chamber's defensive profile.

• Also, given that Rendezvous has a cooldown it would be extra punishing if you were late on his pre-round chores or setups and potentially cost him his signature ability, which is particularly painful given he wants to have it for combat in early round barrier-drop fights.

This is correct, this is legitimately my bad (just forgot to add the bugfix to the patch notes). Neon getting 3 potential slides a round is pretty crazy at a baseline (2x slide + ult refresh, even before kill resets) but we fixed some impactful balance-impacting bugs that had always been around while looking into making the Neon changes and some of them had to go out a bit later than 8.11 for QA/testing/engineering review etc

You cannot :( Unless the top five players on your team have the same average mmr from the start of the season, you won't be able to invite anyone new to the team (even players who left 1s ago). This is an unfortunate pain point that we're hoping to address soon, but I'd suggest not removing players from your roster after you've played your first match. We know this absolutely sucks and we're hoping to improve it soon.

fair point, added "in some ways" wording.

It's actually better in some ways than a Guardian since you move faster with it equipped!

Sure!

Ultimately, ranked winrates often manifest as characters that have very low costs of failure.

Characters like Clove or Reyna do not meaningfully screw their team over if they are executing poorly. Sure, they can have bad KDs and not perform well, but they are often not actively detracting. A KAY/O player with 0 lineups for knives who isn't communicating any flashes can make the game legitimately a lot harder to win for his team. Omen probably just loses a lot because a lot of his strengths are much better in coordinated settings (playing for retakes with his paranoia or using it for set plays) and he's often playing vs Clove, who is generally a lot easier to play and get value out of, especially for average players in uncoordinated settings.

It's important that VALORANT has some characters that do incentivize teamwork and have long-tail mastery curves around teamplay utility. Characters like KAY/O make the game better for those who are willing to invest t...

Hope so! I love that these bundles support VCT!

Yeah I’m out here playing with rocks while he’s harvesting radianite
