Yesterday Valorant released their brand new patch and it should have all been simple stuff like AFK Detection, Chat Penalties, and other stuff but something feels really weird to me. Toxicity is nothing new to Valorant and lately, it has been ramped up to a whole new level where players will start straight up abusing you if you do not follow their commands. So RIOT Games has taken things into their own hand as now being Toxic in Chat will lead to harsher punishments than before. They are also including something called the Progressive Penalties which means repeated offenders will get a harder penalty than new ones and that will really be awesome.
But on the flip side, this also could be used in a bad way. For example, if you Solo Queue a Ranked match and you get 4 other people in your team who are playing together then theoretically they can bully you if you do not follow their orders properly. Plus they can also false report you and you might be the one getting a penalty without doing anything wrong. Now we will have to wait and see how good this Detection is and if it's on the mark or not so can't say a lot right now about that.
But after this new patch, it seems I am having some serious issues with Hit registrations. It looks to me that I am firing my Gun but when I die it shows that no bullets registered at all giving my opponent Zero Damage. This happened to me quite a few times and I don't know if I am being sluggish or something is really wrong in the code right now. I was Ranked at Diamond 1 as of last night but now I have fallen to Platinum 2, hell I haven't won a single game from last night so yeah I am seriously having doubts about this new Patch and feel like something went wrong here. The one thing that could explain the issue is my Ping which is around 40 ms and I feel like that's not bad and I used to play on the same ping beforehand so that shouldn't be the issue right.
The new patch can help with toxicity, but when you play alone against a team, you can get into an unpleasant situation. As for hits, I had the same thing. Bullets fly, but the damage does not go through. Everything changed when I used the valorant hack and now it helps with hits and gives a good advantage. Maybe you should try it if you want to solve your problems with the game and not lose your nerves.
