These are the Valorant patch notes I’ve been praying for. If you’re sick and tired of seeing bots in your ranked matches, then I have good news for you – Riot has placed new restrictions on high ELO ranked in an effort to combat the FPS game‘s botting problems. Forget a new agent, this is the Valorant update we need.
Every online multiplayer game has issues with botting and boosting, and Valorant is no exception. As the Episodes have progressed, however, Riot’s FPS has been hit time and time again with waves of bad actors, who consistently come up with new (and unfortunately improved) ways of cheating the game’s ranked system.
To combat this, patch 7.06 brings highly-anticipated ranked restrictions. Now, Ascendant players can only invite Platinum-level players or higher to their parties, meaning they won’t be able to boost low ELO players. It’s the fix we’ve all been waiting for, and one that Riot plans to keep an eye on going forward.
