Valorant’s latest patch, version 10.07, may initially appear to be just a collection of bug fixes, but it contains crucial updates that significantly impact gameplay. As the game evolves, the abilities of its Agents have become increasingly intricate, leading to unintended interactions that require attention.
Particularly, newer Agents like Waylay and Vyse have exhibited some glitches related to their skill sets, and this patch primarily addresses those issues. It also resolves the visibility problems some Agents experienced while affected by nearsight. While there are no balance changes accompanying this update, it features several Quality of Life (QoL) adjustments that effectively enhance or diminish the performance of certain Agents.
