To that end, the League of Legends developer has released Valorant patch 1.02, which offers some Agent tweaks, spike rush changes, and more.

Patch Notes 1.02 are here with a fresh Menu UI, surrender option, and balance for Viper, Jett, and Reyna. Competitive won’t be on with the patch ship and will be coming later. Read all about it: https://t.co/VZxSAktY7t pic.twitter.com/TD7Kd0bm8t
