Hey! Let's make the release date of Indian servers a secret between me and you 😉

You don't read very well do you? I didn't say we have a tournament realm, I was mentioning those because they exist for League and since Riot makes both games I'd be shocked if they didn't have the internal capability. I was suggesting it's POSSIBLE a lot of the pro games aren't taking place on the same servers as the larger population because frankly using random MM servers isn't good for competitive integrity.

Besides, you don't think Riot has a solution ready for the inevitable LAN tournaments? Come on... the game has been in development for years with a clear focus on eSports, there is no way they would get to launch without the infrastructure in place or mostly ready.

It's also possible that they have some kind of code in place that does load balancing on servers based on your MMR and when you get to high Immortal it gives you "priority" on less congested servers. I think that would be stupid, but I would not be surprised if Riot did something like...

Because most pro players play most of their games in custom games, and I would not be surprised at all if they had access to a dedicated server for pro matches that doesn’t suffer from the sane issues as the standard servers that are overloaded.

I’ve said this before, but it isn’t the server code that’s the problem it’s the number of virtual servers per box that Riot has the data centers running. The issues I’ve seen were not a problem worth mentioning during the beta, you’d occasionally get a shot that didn’t hit or registered wrong (impossible to avoid completely in any online shooter).

However, ever since the official launch I see it happen more than once every single game. I’ve been playing FPS games for over 20 years online and I’ve played at a highly competitive level in leagues on a number of teams. I.E. I know when my shots hit and when I missed, even if I discounted fully half the times I see it happen to me or one of my teammates as I just “saw wrong”...

Does that mean you are open to update existing skins like adding effects for Spline? I think League does this too (Not sure). But I know it might take away more time and resources for new skin lines.

You guys and gals have been great with the transparency and open dialogue. And the willingness to push back where needed. I truly value your engagement and, outside of Val being a good game, it's a reason I stay connected and playing. The teams passion is obvious and I for one really enjoy the dialogue

Not at the moment. We want to run this test first, then see if players really want melee variants (reddit isn't always a representative sample :D), and then we'll decide if/when we can support making them. And THEN we'll see which skins we can make it for and if we ever go back and add them to older melees or not.

If you want the non-developer answer, I'll tell you that too many people on the VALORANT team have been begging for these. u/pwyff keeps yelling at us in all caps with TEAL AXE. :(
