What’s New for Season 2025 // Dev Updates - VALORANT

[@KitCatFalcon]

please add bot option to the customs, we want to practice with bots in different maps plz

[@mercifuldeath]

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING

[@maneeshmanoj686]

Yeah, something like the pre aim maps in cs

[@JayTeeGamer]

yeah

[@kingderpington6082]

This would probably take a lot of work, so unless they have been working on it for months if not a year already then expect to not see it until 2026 at the earliest. Though I agree the feature would be amazing. The reason being that I doubt the game currently supports bots in custom games.

[@M1GHTYdorian133]

no cap i agree and have a difficulty level for them. nah bro u cooked on this idea fr

[@edi_xx]

I love when you actually try to let people understand the problems you are facing, for the replay system in particular, that makes us know what you are dealing with so we know that we just have to wait and you are working on it. I hope everything will work out and if there are any issues, people will be more forgiving since you explained it that well. Best regards from Poland!

[@jonathanpenafiel8603]

They already did with their video a while back, it's almost done just the polishing of the pov cause they want it to be perfect rather then half assing it

[@Taylor_Costa]

@@Son_of_a_Biscuit Because the architecture of the game was already build for it, when Valorant was designed they ware not intended to have a replay system, but the community begged for it, so they start to make one but they have a lot of issues that came for give some hard feature that does not are in the inicial plan, It's the same problem to try to make a game that not designed to have cross-play starts to have cross-play multiplayer

[@Son_of_a_Biscuit]

@@Taylor_Costa Yeah... but a replay system should be basic for a "tactic shooter" in my opinion.

[@KittAnimations]

remake getting a 3 vote system is good, getting it move to round 1 is kinda good, but i really think they should detect remake for the first 3 rounds

[@Farhan_the_Fatcat]

i am still happy they did something to it, better than nothing ig T__T

[@kingderpington6082]

If they allowed remaking after pistol round what would happen is people would just remake if their team lost pistol round. We know this would be the case because this happened in league of legends for a bit a while ago, and it even happened in valorant when there was a short period of time you didnt get penalized for dc'ing and remaking. Duo/trio would have a person dc in pistol, and they would try to win 4v5, if they did they would reconnect and play like normal, if they didnt win pistol round they would remake the game.

[@Taylor_Costa]

I'm wanted they mitigate the points loss when you play a lot of rounds with a inferior number of players, like you supposed to loss 20 for this loss but you only loss 10 because your team play with a player less.

"When Reyna says their friend is totally gonna be back, just go next." Good example of them listening to player feedback and knowing the typical player behavior. I still think remakes should automatically be done if just one person votes yes, but I understand that a majority makes sense.

[@codeman90000000]

They don't listen to 95% of the community but okay keep eating riot devs booty

[@evon2543]

The lag compensation is really important problem because most players will use replays to determine if they really missed "that shot" or to identify a cheater. And in order to do that transparent hit representation is vital.

Gotta give it to them. Valorant is all about precision and making a replay system on that is really hard especially when considering different pings with different perspectives. Hope to hear more soon ! Keep it up Riot !

[@kingderpington6082]

Yeah I just wish they would release the beta version so that people not playing with bad ping can use it. I doubt most people want to watch replays with the intent of seeing EXACTLY how the enemy shot them (unless they or an enemy hit an insane crazy shot lol). I think most people want to use it just to see how the round progressed and if/how they should have reacted to what enemies did during the round.

Its not about precision. If they fix their Gunplay and increase their Movement Error by large factors, sure. Not right now.

fr i thought the whole idea with util was that it doesn't kill?

[@utsuko]

You haven't understood a thing. Of course you can die, because his abilities do damage, I mean his slogan is literally “move or die”. What they meant was that the primary goal is to force enemies to move. But that's asking too much of the Valorant community.

[@Sean-jy1vs]

yeah, but unlike other grenade like utils in the game, tejo's has such a long windup time before it starts damaging, so enemies should be smart enough to move out of the way, unless you're in bronze.

[@otysafiry]

​@puffaddiqt unlike KJ mollies, KA/YO mollies, brim mollies, Gekko mollies, breach aftershock, Raze nade..... Yup no utility kills.

So happy to hear all the new things you guys are cooking up for us and please take your time. Really love how yall address player concerns and feedback and are actively looking for ways to improve while being transparent. I would like to suggest 2 things: 1. Making the remake vote automatic on both the 1st round and 3rd, so if the 1st remake is cancelled or the player disconnects after the 1st round a new one can start; that way many games can be saved as often times a player disconnects after the 2nd round. 2. Making the premium cosmetic priced for the region's currency conversion the player is in. What i mean by that is for someone in south asia buying premium cosmetics can be costly as the conversion rate is higher than for europe or america. Can't wait for what's new in store this season.

okay so the solution for 13:45 is Replay won't be available if any one player have ping more than 120(server tick rate) ? rest can have replay feature ?

[@Cryoptic_]

it scales linearly with ping, so u would in this case just have to decide a random number that u deem fit. it isnt rly a great solution, because as long as there is mid to higher ping, there will be a fair amount of inconsistencies, and i know for SURE that people will use replays to prove that they shouldnt have died. "look, his crosshair is clearly not at my head wtf rito fix ur game waaaa" meanwhile the shot probably was completely fine on the users end. also, this soltion just stops people with higher ping from acessing replays?? not eveyone who has ping has it willingly, infact most dont. discriminating against those people just because of their poor connection, hardware, or living situation aint fun.

For the replay system, how about offering a setting in Settings > General to choose which replay view the user would like to see?

[@visheshkumar9124]

idk about anyone else but valorant has never been as boring as it currently is.

[@despressod]

I'd suggest making it so there's a ping delay mode in the replay system where it shows the shot with delay AND an option to show without the ping delay. Or at least says "This replay is on 120 average ping" or smth like that so players can understand why the shot looks like it missed when it landed and vice versa.

[@minenite2845]

So like cs2?

[@ivel2934]

My case for changing ISO: Iso is unique in the way that he can be lethal and invulnerable at the same time. Yes, it's just one shot, but one shot is everything in this game. He turns fair duels into unfair ones, imagine if Reyna could shoot while in ghost mode. This is intensely frustrating when I shoot a shielded Iso in the head first, but then he, who is slower, hits mine and I lose. My proposition for change: Let his head be vulnerable at least when he has a gun out. Make it a anti-body shot tool, it would still be very useful against especially awps. I feel like this would fit his character with his aimlabs mechanic, quickly reacting to his shield and aiming at his head feels like it makes sense.

i agree 100% with this, iso has genuinely ruined the game for me in so many ways

[@-Virgil-]

actually very good idea for a fix, quite intuitive and would be a welcomed change.a

[@thatdude9091]

Think about the gameplay experience. That makes his signature seem underwhelming -- you pop the ability, push, instantly die with the shield doing nothing. The ability won't be as satisfying as it is, not to get into how excessive of a nerf this is. Iso's shield has a lot of counter-play (spray into the smoke when you hear it pop, use any util that has damage, in a 1v1 situation offsite you can just time his shield. Not one option is ideal in every scenario, but there is plenty of counterplay.), and if he is too powerful in relation to other agents (which I don't believe), what he'd need is a tweak, not such large of a change.

[@ivel2934]

@@thatdude9091 A complete rework would also do. The unfair nature is a problem. If Iso takes a duel against me with shield up and I shoot him in the head first, but he shoots second and kills me, like you can play perfectly and still lose against him. Also the way he makes the awp completely useless is a huge problem etc. I don't think he's especially powerful compared to other agents, but his protected lethality doesn't belong in a game like this. Shooting should not be safe. Alternate change: instead of a shield that you can shoot from behind, it's similar his other wall ability, but it attaches close to him making it easy to use. (Maybe when it takes damage little aimlabs circles pop up on it that you can shoot to repair it lmao. In this case maybe change his wall ability to something else bcz their similar idk.)

The reply system wouldn’t be an issue if we just limit the ping in game. You also fix the problem of ppl getting frustrated with high ping players running your games

Please add the option to have old lobby musics. when hearing the oldest one during like episode 1 , it gives me so much nostalgia.

[@notprogamer6462]

5 years still no replay system or custom maps, most games come with it on day 1

[@XZenoYuh]

12:05 Bro didnt blink once he IS the IRL Replay System 😂😂😂

[@kaloiano1]

On Replays I'm happy with the update we got, but also as a player I think it's fine to get some more community feedback after implementing once. I don't think you need to get the catch all solution on the first try, just having replays in the first place would be very nice. As you said, there are downsides to all solutions, so it might be easier to let the community decide directly which downside to live with. Personally I rarely have to deal with high ping, but in the scenario you mentioned, I think being able to choose which viewpoint you're looking at the replay as could be valuable. So maybe you could have server side viewpoint, and a simple client side viewpoint that only has what you have seen recorded as replay data. Being able to choose would diminish any downsides of both imo.

I like how they mentioned every meta i low key miss when I was able to play viper as a solo controller

[@ketan1239]

Being a halo fan makes me more appreciative of the transparency and responsiveness riot has to it's players

[@IrooFPS]

Replay system, the ability to spawn practice range bots in customs, and bringing back the old ping system for customs would be great. Thank you!!

[@relixb]

I didnt expect to see someone with a Porter Robinson hoodie, but I love it :D 1:15

[@musicaltarrasque]

All they need to do is make the replay system show the pov of whomever you are spectating, and then if you are spectating noone, we go to the server view
