The new map Icebox and even the new Agent Skye weren't the hottest topic of Valorant 's act 3. Instead, the topic was game-breaking bugs and how they've made Valorant absolutely unplayable over the past few weeks. The glitch issue was perhaps the worst issue and the bug that should have been fixed with the 1.11 patch still remains today. However, the misfire is a source of trouble that Riot Games has yet to pinpoint. Recent speculations by Valorant developers suggest that Act Rank Badges may be what's causing the in-game stutters. And Riotdecided to temporarily remove him from the game to see if it fixed the issue.
You won't see Act Rank Badges in game for now. We're investigating whether they might be the one of the sources of this hitching issue. In the mean time, you can tell people you were Radiant in Act 2 and they can't prove otherwise.
