With Valorant Patch 5.01 coming soon, here are all the leaks like Agent perks, new Smurf detection system, and more.
The latest episode 5 of Valorant came out last month and we have had fun trying out the new map and a new rank. On top of this, Riot always releases a new patch every two weeks, either to fix bugs or ship new updates.
Valorant features some new agent updates and more with the next patch. Some of these updates were long overdue and I was looking forward to seeing them live.

New Smurf Detection
The way the new system works is such that for all new accounts, players will play against the same skill level. Which Riot finds out for the unranked matches that are required to complete to play in rank. Each player’s skill level will update with each match, so if someone tries to pass any higher ranked player, the level will update to the appropriate MMR.
