Valorant 7.02 Patch Notes
In Valorant 7.02 Patch, Riot Games introduces the Esports Hub, providing players access to follow Valorant Champions 2023 and stay updated on all competing teams, match schedules, and playoff brackets. The Hub launches on August 2, with matches from August 6 to the Grand Finals on August 26, promising an immersive competitive experience.
The Valorant 7.02 Patch update also focuses on improving player behavior with the introduction of party voice mutes for those with previous team voice mutes, along with the global rollout of the Real-Time Text Evaluation system to combat toxic behavior in various languages, fostering a safer and more positive gaming environment.
Valorant 7.02 Patch further includes a range of bug fixes, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. Issues with the Spray Wheel in specific game modes and animation glitches during Spike Defuse have been resolved, ensuring smoother gameplay. Moreover, agent abilities like Omen's From The Shadows and Shrouded Step have been addressed to ensure proper functioning in the game mechanics.
While no significant Agent buffs or nerfs are included in this update, Jett receives updates to her voice lines, adding interactions with Gekko and Neon to enrich the game's lore and character development. Despite these improvements, there are some known issues, such as the Araxys skin line muzzle flash displaying in black and white for chromas in the third person, which the developers are actively working to fix in future patches.

Valorant 7.02 patch - PLAYER BEHAVIOR UPDATES
- We added party voice mutes for people who have received team voice mutes.
- We will begin a global rollout of our Real-Time Text Evaluation and intervention system. Up until recently the system, which began muting people in voice and text chat who sent disruptive text messages in the game, was tested in NA regions only. The test run has given us enough confidence to extend the coverage to global languages starting with a mid-patch update and continued staggered release.
- As we’ve said before, with the implementation of more immediate text evaluation, we hope to detect and reduce disruptive situations while you’re still in the game and help you feel safer to engage while playing.
