Valorant got another upgrade and the latest patch has rolled out. Valorant Patch 3.08 brings the latest list of changes to the game, including bug fixes, balance tweaks, and a few new features. Ever wanted to know if anything ever happened to that account you reported? Now the game will let you know if action was taken with report feedback (a crossover feature from League of Legends). There’s plenty more in Valorant 3.08’s patch notes as well. Check it out here.
Valorant Patch 3.08 notes
Now, if a player you report has action taken against them in Valorant Patch 3.08, you will be notified of the action.
Valorant’s Patch 3.08 notes launched on October 19, 2021 with a blog post on the Valorant website. One of the major new updates is report feedback, which will now tell you if an action was taken against an account your reported. If you’re in the client, the notification will show up in realtime. If not, it will show up when you next log-in. This is a feature from League of Legends that has proven to provide some peace of mind to players wondering if the system works. You can see the rest of the patch notes below:
Social Updates
Persistent Report Feedback
Your reports matter, and we want you to know that! You will now be notified if we took action on one of your reports, whether you are offline or not.
If your client is up and running, you’ll receive a notification. If you’re offline at the time of action, fret not! You’ll receive your notification upon your return.
Thanks for making VALORANT a safer place through your reports. Keep them coming!
