Valorant update 7.07 patch notes
In Valorant update 7.07, Riot changed the destruction VFX for destructible door panels near garages. This should make it easier to see through when it comes off.
It also includes performance adjustments that reduce the number of required CPU cores and enable multi-threaded rendering for separate Intel GPUs.
Riot is also removing the rank limit to 5 stacks that it introduced in patch 7.06. The developers said, “We know how important it is to play with friends, and that you need flexibility to do so.” The reason they made this change in the first place was to prevent people from abusing their path to higher positions.
