Since the release of Valorant's Act 2 on August 4 , Riot Games ' shooter has shown a lot of bugs. And the ongoing issues with the chat service are perhaps one of the most frustrating issues on Valorant right now. However, the problem is not limited to this. Riot's other game, League of Legends, also suffers from the same disease and players are reporting that their friend list is not working properly. Riot appears to be aware of the issues the chat service is facing in both games. Valorant's game director , Joe Ziegle r, touched on this in a Twitter post.
There seems to be some issue with chat services (and the social panel, parties etc.) in VALORANT and LoL that we're looking into currently. Apologies for the interruptions.

It looks like the dev team is currently working on resolving the issue, and Ziegler said: "There seems to be some issues with the chat services (and social panel, parties, etc.) in VALORANT and LoL that we're currently looking for."
Another game-busting bug the game has encountered is the Killjoy turret issues. Apparently, the agent's turret ability comes with wallhack abilities, and players abuse it the most in Split .
In response to Ziegler's tweet, a player asked the developers to fix the issues that Killjoy's turret created in the game.
By placing the turret in a certain way, the bot literally goes through the wall and descends under the B zone. The turret has the ability to spot and shoot down enemies on the wall, creating incredible crossfire potential without any counterplay.
Another overpowering bug is on Ascent, where the turret gives Killjoy a nifty enemy spotting ability, which means he can easily spot enemies camped and hiding on mid-ranges near zone A.
These bugs currently make Killjoy incredibly powerful in Valorant and undermine the competitive integrity of the game. This is one of the reasons it was disabled in recent Ignition Series tournaments.
