Valorant Dev Tracker

I don't think I've met anyone who cared about both my JD and my experience on VALORANT. It's one or the other or neither. It's an odd collision of two very different worlds that don't really understand each other.

It is such high praise that VALORANT is your favorite game! As someone who's been gaming since I was 5 years old, games have always been so special to me. I can't even explain it, but I know you understand. That's why I am obsessed with wanting this game to be the best it can be because I truly believe that the FPS community deserves this game in its best form. This is our love letter to all of you.

You sound genuinely passionate about helping others through law, which is awesome. I hope you can figure out which kind of law is best for you and whether you wanna go private, public, in-house, or something else. Video game companies have lawyers too, btw. I've met some of our legal counsel at Riot and they're wonderful people who love law and games!

...

Did not expect a response like this! You just summarized my last 15 years of work/education in a few sentences.

Do you want to be in games or be a lawyer? I ask this because as much as I'm sitting here thinking about this skin issue, it's 1000000x better than the best day I had working in law. That's no hate on law, btw. I just love working in games.

Also, I'm flattered you want to check out my paper! It's what inspired me to leave law and pursue a career in games. I hope you pursue whatever you're most passionate about because the only person who has to live your life is you, so do what makes you happiest!

Thank you for believing in us and trusting us to fix. <3

Also, I may be wrong here since we're still investigating, but the knife seems fine (don't quote me or trust me yet because, like I said, we're still investigating). It's the guns showing the issue.

Honestly, I can't sleep when stuff goes wrong. :( Feel too bad.

Hi! We're aware of this report. We've been looking into this since Wednesday night Pacific Time (a few hours after the skin went live in the store). Yes, we tested this for performance before it shipped, but we missed this. Sorry about that - I hope you trust that we'll try to fix it.

Right now, we're doing some investigation into the full severity of it and will determine if we hotfix this or push an update in the next patch. We'll make sure we communicate what we decide to do. I'll post an update here at the very least.

Edit: We just pushed a fix to the live game! Thanks for trusting us to fix this, everyone! https://twitter.com/PlayVALORANT/status/1447724607473995779?s=20

Thank you! The team did a great job!

Overheard in the office just now "people seem genuinely excited about it...not the Guardian, but the Katana."

It do be like that

I don't think there is anything that calls out "clutching" specifically, but the way the math works you win a round, don't die, and kill multiple people so it's a good increase in MMR anyways.

oh we can talk to whoever we want, you just have to track the group down or message them on slack.

I just haven't had a huge reason to go over the fence or talk about these things, plus I am superrrrr busy (My google insights has me in almost 5 hours of meetings everyday ahhhhhhhhh).

I think the big thing, when it comes to sharing this information, is that I'm not sure what that team is comfortable with sharing and it's not my job to be a speaker for them. So even if I did do the research and found out about something, I would want them or one of our community mangers to talk on topics that I don't work on directly. I often do let other teams know when topics come up and share links to see if they want to comment on these things! I just don't know that team at all or anyone on it.

Not correlated at all unfortunately :(

They are calculated using different rules/weights/algorithms.

TECHNICALLY you can gain MMR on a loss but not RR.

The is actually a good reason for this, and it's because we always want players to play to win. If we pushed a system that gave RR solely based on performance it would lead to players trying to slay, instead of win.

You could always argue that fragging is a strong indicator of winning, but there are definitely people who get high kills but aren't helping win rounds. So while I love the idea of performance based RR, we still want winning to be the way to climb. So we get the best of both worlds in our system. You can increase your MMR on a loss, if you perform well enough, but you have to win in order to get that increased RR multiplier you would get from the increased MMR.

Unfortunately that's a team that I have no connection with or talk to on the regular. I don't have any clue about account 2FA :(

Sorry :(
