Valorant episode 2 notes

New agent yoru

abilities - Fakeout: Fakeout is the first ability of this agent, which mimics agent footsteps. Yoru can go around and create these fakeouts, where the enemies will hear a different sound as opposed to his teammates. It will essentially allow the agent to mislead his opponents.

  • Gatecrash: This is an innate ability of the agent, and is also among the best tools to allow you to release a rift tether before teleporting to its location. While a gatecrash can last for almost 20 seconds, it can also be shot down by the opponents.
  • Blindside: This is the agent’s flash. In order to use the blindside ability, one will need to bounce it off a hard surface to make it pop.
  • Dimensional Drift (X): This is similar to the ultimate and it will allow the agent to slip between the worlds and drift around the game map while being affected or detected by his opponents.

Brimstone changes

  • molly: Price has been reduced from $300 to $200.
  • Stim Beacon: Equip time removed, which will now result in a quick cast. 
  • Sky Smoke: Smoke cast range has been increased from 4200 to 5000. Smoke duration has been increased from 14.25s to 19.25s.

Classic changes

Ranked Changes

Instead of up and down arrows being the only indicator of your ranked progress, Riot is introducing a Rank Rating (RR) system. VALORANT will now use a progress bar that shows your proximity to ranking up, but only for players between Iron and Diamond. Immortal and Radiant players’ ranks will shift to the leaderboard.

The maximum RR players can gain from a win will be 50, while the most you can drop from a loss will be 30. The minimum RR you can gain on a win or a loss will be 10. And the most you can increase on a draw will be 20 based on your performance

To demote, players will have to lose a match while at zero RR. Then, you’ll be placed at 80 RR in the lower rank. When promoting, players will start at 10 RR in the new rank
