Valorant's anti-cheat has been the subject of controversy but also seems to its job well. A Riot Games developer announced that just under 9,000 accounts were banned and then proceeded to dunk on them in a followup tweet.

Valorant players have been reporting higher latencies as of late, prompting Riot Games' to explain the issue and outline their plan for server expansion.

Riot Games revealed more about their monetisation plans for Valorant, expanded on the state of the store and noted that we will not see a battle pass until release.

In an unexpected turn of events, popular Overwatch pro Sinatraa has announced leaving the game for Valorant pastures and the Sentinel esports organisation.

Riot Games deployed a patch to Valorant recently with balance and a few other changes but an unintentional one came along as players saw major FPS drops in the game. The team confirmed they are close to releasing a fix for this.

Following a number of accusations for everything from spying on users to diabolical plans for world domination, Riot made some changes to their Vanguard anti-cheat system.

Riot Games stated that Valorant will get two additional agents and one map by the time the game sees full release. So far, it looks like Sabine, the Vampire is the closest one to a finished state.

Ever since Riot Games introduced Raze to Valorant, there has been an outcry about her abilities and now she has been nerfed. Additionally, one of the strongest agents, Sage, has seen some much needed changes.

Riot Games have already started outlining the plans for Valorant's esports ecosystem and while it may seem too early, the company says the interest is overwhelming.

A lot has been said about Valorant's anti-cheat system recently, with some going as far as to call it malware, but Riot put their money where their mouth is and posted a lavish bug bounty on HackerOne.
