As mentioned by Valorant Game Director @RiotZiegler,
players can expect the “Run/Walk Toggle” to be implemented in the next patch
release. What’s more, they have also confirmed that the “rated (competitive
mode) will likely be out sometime next week.” They stated that the team is
“spending this week putting together that release and making sure it is
good”.
Along with that VALORANT senior producer Ian Fielding explained
that a surrender option is being ‘introduced with Patch 1.02’. As of now,
Valorant keeps growing and as a game with new updates and features constantly
aiming at improved gameplay experience.
The significance of the ‘Surrender’ option may be summed up as,
suppose the enemy is approaching match point, and you just want to be done with
a crappy game already. Surrendering can be great for relieving a headache,
especially when in-game communication is getting toxic. Some might say
that players should just have to persist through a discouraging match, but
surrendering has more practical uses too. If a teammate has to leave for a
pressing issue or abandons the game without a word, it’s useful to have the
option to throw in the towel and jump in another game.
Furthermore, patch 1.02 will be fixing the Sovereign Ghost skin
issue so that players can purchase the skin for levels 2-7, which currently
remains disabled. There have been several reported bugs in Valorant, some old
and some newly discovered. Riot Games should be squashing most of them with the
next update as well. The more problematic issues such as Valorant crashing to
desktops, frame-rates dipping here and there, are what players hope will be
addressed soon. So Valorant is gearing up to be more accomplishing!
