GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS UPDATES
● Reworked the way guns process Zoom inputs for ADS and Scopes when using Toggle Zoom.
○ There should now be fewer cases that can lead to Zoom disagreements between the Client and Server under adverse network conditions like packet loss and ping jitter. Additionally, Zoom Inputs when using Toggle Zoom can now be buffered earlier than before and multiple zoom level transitions can be buffered at once.
Map Updates

Map Rotation
Valorant Omen Nerf

Competitive Updates
Overall, the changes below should make Ranked Rating gains and losses feel more consistent, and reduce the effect stomps have on your RR. We’ll keep a close eye on the data to make additional adjustments as necessary.
○ Winning is still the most important way to climb!
more on individual performance, instead of round differential. You should also see your rank and MMR converge faster.
○ If a player’s rank is below their actual MMR, they will be rewarded more for a good game. If a player’s rank is above their MMR, they will not be harshly penalized if they lose, but perform well in that match.
