shame of getting embarrassed

I'm with you there; I was just riffing off the language used by OP. I'm not nearly good enough at the game to allow myself to be humiliated lol.
And I agree that a reward would feel really good. But personally, I'd prefer something that adds to my experience, instead of detracts from theirs...like a unique kill banner or extra combat points or something. That's what I meant by rewards versus penalties.
Just my two cents though :)

In a competitive environment as things are now, knives are high risk/no reward. Using a knife is STRICTLY a BM display. Adding a high reward means there's a justification for actually attempting it that is NOT just to BM. If a player can say "that knife kill was some bullshit but I can understand why he did it" then he isn't saying "that kill was bullshit and there was no reason for it."

How about 3? 2 Doesn't even seem enough to justify the risk of knifing.

What about two ult charges instead of 1?

I don't really think knife kills are "humiliating". If they are you're probably taking the game too seriously. When I get knifed I see it as a high level expression of skill by an enemy, especially if the teams are pretty even. And since knife kills are so hard to get it should be rewarded in some way or another, whether it's this orb idea or extra cash.

You're welcome!

We think that the game is very well done and we're looking forward to the official launch.

When you're producing another title for a company like Riot where its first reached the apex of gaming, the expectation, excitement, and bar is set to intimidating heights. Not to forget that it isn't piggy-backing off the pre-established lore and character fan base of League.

I'm very curious about what led to the decision of Valorant being developed and what drove the creative direction. I hope you guys will release a short in the future discussing how it came into fruition.

My friends and I have been loving the game thus far. For a closed beta, we are VERY impressed with how polished it is.

Spread our thanks to your colleagues.

Your game made me want to play it as my main game. And that is surprising to me, bcs I am a card/MMORPG games player. And now I am trapped in between with no time for the all!

Devs did a great job, great attention to detail. Just wanted to shout-out Riot support for Valorant, I had some technical issues where the game completely wouldn't launch and they managed to help me solve it.

It's good that I found one of you guys. I have a very important matter regarding a cheat that is going undetected by Vanguard for over a month and is being spread wide by people (many think it's even legit to use). can I write a private message to you explaining the problem? It is usually hard to notice with naked eye right away that someone uses it but it provides a lot of advantage.

Is there going to be Toronto or NY servers? I live in Toronto and somehow get absolutely shit ping to Chicago (like 40 minimum, most often 60-70+). I get steady 33 ping on League and have good internet connection. Could this be a routing issue as well/have you seen other players in my area with similar complaints? I don't understand how my ping is so high in this game.

Could you tell us where the ME servers would be located?
