Valorant 10.07 patch notes bring deceptively important bugfixes

Valorant’s 10.07 update seems like it’s just a patch full of bugfixes, and it technically is. However, there are a few of these fixes that are much more important than you’d think.

As time has gone on, the kits for Valorant Agents have gotten more and more complex. Their abilities have a lot more going on than someone like Brimstone who’s essentially smokes, a molly, a team buff and a big laser.

As such, some of the newer Agents have had some issues related to their abilities not working quite as intended. So, this patch is mainly focused on fixing several bugs with characters like Waylay and Vyse whose kits have some strange interactions with game mechanics, as well as fixing a number of different Agents being visible through nearsight.

This patch doesn’t have balance changes like 10.06, but there are a few important QoL changes in here that will be buffs/nerfs to certain Agents.

Here are the full Valorant patch 10.07 notes:
