Riot Games had to release the Valorant 1.12 patch update literally a week after the previous one because of the issues plaguing the game. In the patch notes that released today, Riot said,
“As mentioned in the recent Ask VALORANT, the problematic release of Patch 1.11 is forcing us to reevaluate what it takes to raise the quality bar for patch days going forward. So, while we’re not skipping Patch 1.12, we’re giving it a light touch.
