Does that mean people with accounts in those regions will just notice a seamless transition to the new servers?
Yep, right now if (for example) you're playing from Dubai, you're likely playing on the Frankfurt servers. Once Bahrain is online you should automatically start playing on Bahrain.
Would it be possible to request an Imgur link so I can post the full image? If not, totally fine and I'll just link the Instagram the same way you did!
So seeing as there are no India or Middle East Riot accounts, this means that what server you're restricted to is entirely client side then?
I feel like if this is true and out in the open, then it would be nice to allow cross server play for customs and premade 5s.
You're restricted to a shard (EU, NA, LATAM, BR, APAC, KR) based on your home region. The shards are roughly split up to distribute player populations so we have a sensible way to scale the game. We have no current plans to allow cross-shard play.
Regarding these particular areas, Bahrain will be added to the EU shard, and Mumbai will be added to the APAC shard, so players from the Middle East and India won't see any change other than lower latency.
What about RUSSIA? When am I going to be able to solo queue without getting 4 russian teammates? Imagine playing against a 5 -stack, while you youreself always have 3-4 russians on your team who can't communicate and wouldn't do it in english even if they could. How is that fair and what is riot going to do about i? It's literally killing the game in eu..
Sorry you're experiencing that! We'll continue to try and improve matchmaking so this doesn't happen.
Hi good day sir! Would just like to ask about the servers that serve the Philippines, the ping is very volatile its either 45ms whole game or 103ms. When can we expect a more consistent ping? Thanks!
I'd like to improve the Philippines, in theory the ping there should be ok to our Hong Kong game servers. As we get through our immediate focus (e.g. Bahrain/Mumbai) we'll be looking for other places to invest effort. No firm timeline though.
Any current plans for South Africa?
No current plans, sorry.
How about servers that are actually for North Latin America? Mexico is only one country and is far away from the other latin american countries. Any chance you guys are gonna add a server for Colombia?
Right now Colombia is served out of Miami, so not great, but better than Mexico. We're focused on standing up Middle East and India right now. No guarantees on a timeline, but we will look at Colombia latency in the future.
I don't think I've EVER seen 35ms even here in NorthEast USA. What's up with that?
Where you at? We have servers in Atlanta, Virginia and Chicago.
This is awesome! Can I share this on /r/ValorantVisuals? (With credit of course!) :D

External link →Hey friends, let me give you some info on where we're at:
Middle East (Bahrain) and India (Mumbai) servers are extremely likely to arrive by end of year. We do care about these regions, and we're close to being able to announce actual dates.
Neither of these locations are likely to help Kazakhstan, because Kazakhstan is just a long way away from all of our game servers. Let me be real with you: Kazakhstan will not be getting a low ping in the near future, and I couldn't say when it will. The best servers are going to either be Warsaw or Stockholm, and over time we'll try to improve routing from Kazakhstan (and nearby areas) to those servers, but they'll never be close to our "ideal" of 35ms or less.

We're still working on perf improvements. We've hit a lot of the most glaring issues in the game right now. We're going to shift our performance focus towards more long term work that will be more chunky. We probably won't have something to drop every single patch anymore. We are looking to hire another engineer to focus on performance as well so if you know anyone... https://www.riotgames.com/en/work-with-us
Hello we are Chris Stone. Senior Weapons Artist, and Sean Bigham, Senior Concept Artist, here to tell and show you how the Glitchpop skins were born out of a misunderstanding and grew into one of VALORANT’s most loud, colorful and bold designs.
Glitchpop is heavy on the visual elements that bring out the futuristic fantasy for players. The muzzle flash, glitch equip, holographic projector, and stickers were all elements that we could clearly theme in the cyberpunk genre, while offering a great first-person visual experience.
...You should be able to hit NorCal with a decent ping - at the very least in the practice range. Please post a traceroute to 192.207.0.1 and let me know which ISP you're using and what ping you're getting.
Should be resolved now. Do you have a ticket number you can send me so I can chase up why you didn't get responses?
Verizon issue should be fixed in the next hour
Should be resolved now.
