Our voices are definitely heard but we're just being ignored, that's all it is. We've had people from North Africa help us out with getting really amazing traction on this reddit, twitter etc but we were just ignored, that's just how it always is for Africa and I'm not surprised riot discriminates against us. u/RiotKorensky said that they were having talks but he/she hasn't gotten back to us since that day

Unfortunately it means that you need to prove that you belong/earned a rank in that new season of the game. Things change, patches, maps, agent balance, and even the community getting better at the game; in my other post I used the example that an Immortal player from Episode 1 would probably be at the skill level of a Plat/Diamond...
Read more/u/penguinVALORANT might be able to answer this.
This question is a little bit outside of my wheelhouse unfortunately. I'd recommend asking RiotNu on twitter or any engineer!
From the article, it seems it came out with patch 4.03
