VAL Scrapping Episodes & Another NEW Agent? | Dev Blog Recap

wait so how will we get our rank gun buddies? Is it by each act or by season? I'll be sad if its by season

I play Harbor & a lot of the drawbacks come from his main ability: it's extremely slow to deploy so if you don't wait long enough you can get killed before it's blocking vision, it doesn't go high enough upwards so on Fracture you can get headshot dropping down into site, it also offers absolutely no deterrent for enemies (the slow does next to nothing). His ultimate is pretty useless too & is easily avoided. I told one of the balancing devs on bluesky that I would like to see a faster deploy time, increased height & vulnerable status added to his main wall. It would be good if it was bulletproof too, but I would honestly settle for the three buffs I just mentioned. Cove could do with a price decrease, 50 less at the very least; this would help me buy shorty & cove even more. His forward wall is perfect as it is. His ultimate is the only part of his kit that I have no idea how to fix & I have played him a fair amount. The buffs I have mentioned could easily be added whilst they wait to do anything else; such a shame they would rather wait months to release it all at once when he could be made much more enjoyable now.

idk what i would do with out kanga

Fun fact Little did yall know it's easier to cheat in val than on cod.

If we're doing 1 season instead of episodes....how does that effect rank resets? Since you used to get rank resets multiple times a year.

Bro i was so confused why there were so many triggerbotter and closet cheaters and like 2.5kd 95% winrate level 20 accs in like immo2 i legit didnt even wanna play anymore cuz of the cheaters but its cuz the anticheat team took a break

So does the season change make it so that we don’t get that new episode rank reset with the 5 games that lower you down?

They REALLY need to rework Harbor

BRO, WERE GONNA GET THE DIAMONDS FROM STEVEN UNiVERSE FOR THE NEW AGENT

We need new map also..

Deleted valorant playing cs2

Might be a dumb connection, but the connection to the crystals, the color ways in that player banner and the fact that the 4 colors are all those specific colors in a diamond shape, STEVEN UNIVERSE CONFIRMED FOR VALORANT.

RR back from a match with cheater is HUGE, atleast for me on Frankfurt server. People here cheat massively. Big Thumb Up for that.

What about episodewise cinematics man?

For anyone wondering they have made basically next to no progress with the replay system since the last time from how they were talking about it. They still have some issues they are encountering and trying to fix...

Yeah the at this point they are just fucking lying

Actually so excited for harbor buffs

Each episode change made the game feel fresher. Staying in the same episode for too long never felt good, and this is only going to make it worse.

Leave iso alone he is fine first they buff him then they nerf him now they wanna nerf him more

What is with smurfs in 5 stack? In Solo/duo this is not that problem. But playing 5 stack you are basically forced to smurf as well. In Plat/dia lobbies are so many Immortal smurfs. There isn't a single game without. To fill this with stats. If I play duo I have a winrate of 66% on Diamond 2. When playing 5 stack with mixed lobbies (average Plat2 or 3) I have a Winrate of 20%! And this is because we face smurfs every fucking game. Not just one. It is always 2 or 3 using a "alternative" account.

I’m surprised people are still playing this game, after you reach immortal and radiant there’s literally no point in playing it

if the season is a year long does that mean you only get the ranked gun buddy each year or every third act?

Anyone plays valorant after 1 jan 2025? Ive played once on sunday after that nuh uh

if 1 season is gonnna be 1 year how does it work with gunbudys then bc we would have to wait for so long to get a gunbudy thne if its only per 1 season

I hate this lol

Edit: I mean the season nonsense

The rank shield is for deranking . The old system which will still work , works on every single tier of every rank giving u one last chance before u drop from gold 2 to gold 1 or gold 1 to silver 3 .


But now this second one is what they are changing, u won't lose ur rank (gold silver diamond) as easily. So more people will hopefully stay in their own ranks for longer .

they did tease replication right? when is it coming

Used to be a Harbor main before I started playing Omen for competitive, his kit just clicked for me so I'm hoping his rework keeps some his most fun elements

they will update ISO first that means the new agent is definitely a duelist this duelist might make ISO more ass than he is right now thats why they need to buff him first rather than pearl harbor

This is my opinion on agent changes
Iso : bring back his 2nd double tap no need to refresh it also make it last longer
Neon : either 2 slides or the first bullet accuracy only cuz the faster pull out very based on how whiffy ppl are and how stupid crouch spray accuracy is in val
Also make the Neon ult juice last a bit longer
Deadlock
Make a laser line to her cencor that's like a cypher trip wire so ppl HAVE to destroy it in order to flank
Harbor make his shield last 5-7s like old Jett smoke after it got broken
Remove slowing team

Raze looks so cursed in the loading screen i cant unsee it

Ok so the replay system is still never coming out.

Can we get more agents than 2 PER YEAR PLEASE???????

Love ya Kanga, these vids are the best. Keep it up man ..

who is this agent? I have not been playing this game for a while now and why is he literally controlling the whole site better than any "controller" agent?

So, do you get the rank buddy every year now or still like about every 6 months?

Cause if the former ill reconsider playing this game this year.

I have no Patience waiting one year on one rank to get the buddy.
(Just hit plat 3 but i want every buddy once. And i dont have plat yet)

I wonder what would make riot devs think that would be a good idea.

we need male healer

we don't wanna watch that 20mins video that's why we are here😅

That card really looks like those knives of vct

How will the ranked buddies work now will you only get like one per year? 😢

Why wasnt there a special dedicated cinematic for tejo or the "episode 10" ngl im starting to hate riot more and more and might just uninstall.

Who cares

Gutka thuk k baat kr

Crosshair code ☹️plz

this game is still alive?

They did briefly mention the replay system in the full video, but it was more about the problems they were encountering rather than a release date or anything like that, so that's why I didn't mention it in my video.
