A New VALORANT Bug Causing Ranking Issues for Players
A bug has been discovered in VALORANT, leading to incorrect rank placements for players after completing their placement match in Episode Two, Act Three.
The release of the new act brought exciting content for players to enjoy. However, it also introduced a significant bug that affects the ranking system. Players who have finished their placement match and expected to receive a higher rank have reported being placed in a much lower rank.
Developers Working on a Solution for Incorrect Placements
Riot Games, the developers of VALORANT, are aware of the problem and have already introduced a fix for players who have not yet played their placement matches. However, they are still working on a solution for players who have already received a lower rank than expected.
Implications for Players
This bug has led to some high-level players dropping from Immortal to Gold, resulting in a significant decrease in rank. This is a major issue because these high-level players will now have to grind back to their original rank, while lower-ranked players will face opponents who are significantly better than them.
Other Additions in Act Three
In addition to the bug, Act Three introduced several new features in VALORANT. The update includes the new map Breeze, designed for long-range fights, which will be available in the 24/7 queue for the next two weeks. Players can also enjoy a new battle pass with numerous cosmetic items, and tournament custom games have added a new coach slot, adding excitement to competitive matches.
If you are yet to play your placement match, you are likely to receive an appropriate ranking. However, if you have been affected by this bug, you will need to wait for Riot Games to address the issue.
