Notes about the stream –

– To counter instalock toxicity : cascading picks are added. each player has 15-20 seconds to pick an agent and the slection happens one at a time like apex legends has. if u miss picking the agent it comes back at the end. coming act 2 or act 3.
– The issue with same map coming too many times, it should shift a bit in episode 4 as they are implementing some change for it.
– We are getting another toxicity blocking tool where u can type the words that should be censored in chat. it’s a way to counter bad words that are typed in a different way.
– Tournament system is taking long time. it will take more long time.
– People loved mobility. they wanted to push it further. (NEON)
– The tradeof for her extremely high mobility is her vulnerability to not have gun up while sprinting.
– the stun bounce was an accident. they switched collisions off and found the bounce style and used it, fine tuned it. also gave the lightning identity to it.
– Chamber is doing very well with close to 50% win rate.
– Yoru – Still working, fake tp was too op so working on that.
– AGENT CHANGES – HALF THE ROSTER IS changing. giving them more identiy & role.
– Half the roster has changed. internal build is MUCH MUCH different to live roster.
– Protocol was started in 2019. they were working for a long time. They wanted guns that transform like transformers kinda thing. Dystopian cyberpunky theme. In the same universe of glitchpop.. glitchpop is by rebels, protocol is by enforcers hunting em down. doesn’t feels grungy, griddy and dark but feels aspirational so the team did a good job. THIS SKIN ISN’T CANNON TO VALORANT

  6. This video is very apreciated and I wish you the best of luck in the episode 4 grind. Don't forget to have fun and pls try not to burn yourself out, you're one of the most underrated Valorant channels out there right now and I hope you still enjoy the game as much as I do watching your videos.

  15. I don't get why the Val team thinking that a fake to would be really op while you have agents that had a fast way to avoiding damage like jett, Reyna and even chamber. Yoru fake tp to me are the most best way for changing his loudness to actual weapons, I mean they already fucked up yoru code name as "stealth" agents then why not just give it that way? Can you emagine how game changing it was if yoru really have the fake tp? People would rethinking how they going to approach their way to site bcs they have this mind game "oh yoru could be hiding in this corner and make a fake to on other corners" people going to make a crossfire just to enter the site, aren't we always wanted the "precise game play and tactical game?" idk dude if it's in the final patch they refuse to add this ability… I'm so sorry for all the yoru main who already waiting for this dream.

  18. Personally I think cascading agent picks are a bad idea, in theory they make everyone be able to play who the want but when you start to think, they basically force people at the bottom to play smokes, heals, initiators, and force more people to change their play style but in high ranked play that’s not good for players in radiant. Nobody can play their favorite agents either if they’re not at the top of the cascade, instalocks may be banned, but main problem is still present.

  27. the cascading picks is the worst idea ive ever heard. the whole point with a game with roles is to let people play a role and specialize in certain agents. it will also let throwers lock people out of good comps much easier by trolling highlighting every time its their turn

  29. I feel Chamber's tp only needs a buff other than that he is perfect and they better not touch him ever!!!! EVERRRR. I feel he should be able to tp farther, like say put a tp a and b and be able to tp to defend faster, would really help or escape danger.

  37. How I see it if you wanna play a duelist you lock in a fucking duellist I don’t understand the problem, if I get out instalocked I fill a different agent like smoke initiator or sentinel , this change just makes everything difficult especially as a solo q player
