:( Dm me your Riot ID. You’re more than welcome to play with me and my friends.
This week’s Ask VALORANT covers weekly challenges, filthy smurfs, and...wait, did you say “test server”?
Q
Thoughts on adding more weekly challenges?
A
The goal of weekly challenges was to provide a bulk source of XP progress and tie some playful texture to the progression experience. To be frank, we're not happy with the current state, as some of them can be a grind. It's also been difficult to strike the right balance between interesting missions and not promoting unhealthy play patterns (eg. playing only to harvest orbs and use your ult).
Our short term outlook is to reduce the completion requirement for many weeklies in Act III and remove the worst offenders completely. So hopefully these changes, along with the extended length of Act III, many more of you will progress further and faster into the Battlepass.

nice, grats! only one more win to lock in that purple dorito! diamond is a real big achievement!
i actually have a similar path myself, got super into competitive games in WoW arena back in the bc/wotlk days and somehow ended up working on and playing valorant :)

We realize just how disruptive AFKers are being in games and are currently working on a way to better detect AFKers, figure out whether they’re AFK cause of connectivity issues or if it’s intentional, and increasing penalties for those we find to be AFK.
I hope you’ll be able to see some meaningful change in this area before the year is up 🥺
