Competition Updates

Thinking that there are too many players at the lower tiers, including Bronze and Silver, Riot Games officials added a new tier called "Supremeness" between the Diamond and Immortality tiers. Demanding a more even distribution of rank, developers aim to better define both the prestige of the higher tiers and the skill level of each tier with the rank of Excellence .
With the addition of the rank of greatness, the MMR objectives that determine when you rank down have also changed. We've increased the MMR targets of Immortality 1/2/3 and Radiant tiers. These goals appear as “you must have X MMR to get to this tier”. MMR targets determine your Rank Points (KP) gains and ensure your rank matches your MMR.
The Immortality tier will now be less dense in all regions.
With the start of Valorant Episode 5, Episode 1 , your seasonal rank will be reset, so it might be a little harder to rank up early in the episode, but it will be "softer" compared to the old system.
Group restrictions for rank of Greatness have been adjusted to be 3 tiers below or higher for the player in the rank of Greatness.
The highest placement rank has risen to Exaltation 1 (formerly Diamond 1).
The 25% HP restriction on factions of five now applies from Immortality 1 (was Diamond 3).
Solo/double/5 group restrictions now apply from Immortality 1 (was Diamond 3).
Changed the name of the 8th tier reward in Sage's agent contract as it matches the name of the new tier. Sage's new title is "The Eyesight".

Fixed a bug where capturing an Ultimate orb or destroying the Spike at max range would cause the animations in the indicator and progress bar to flicker.
Fixed the progress bar indicator not updating if the player disconnected and reconnected during the match.
Fixed a bug where some weapons were displaying the wrong speed equip animation, thus making it look wrong when firing. Some of the cases affected by this bug were:
- Cypher stopped using the Hidden Camera.
- Capture of ultimate score orbs.
- Cancellation and completion of placing the Spike.
