VALORANT 2.05 Patch Notes

VALORANT 2.05 Patch Notes  ; VALORANT 2.05 Patch Notes were shared with the players, along with the sharing made by VALORANT's Assistant Communications Specialist Jeff Landa. With the VALORANT update numbered 2.05, the game's developer team seems to have done justice.

With this update, bugs in many parts of the game were fixed, while a few changes were made in the gameplay of Sova and Astra agents. The highlight of the update was its competition and social updates.

VALUE As stated in the 2.05 Patch Notes, players escaping competitive matches will now have a small amount of tier points reduced. Also added a setting where you can toggle the Section Tier on or off.

On the social side, there are details that will affect the players more closely. While developing an AFK detection system based on what's in the patch notes, the penalties for AFK behavior have also been updated. For example, players with communication restrictions will no longer be able to play ranked games.
