Valorant update 5.05 (September 7) patch notes: Fixes to matchmaking lobby, Friend Note, reporting, and more

Valorant patch 5.05 will go live today, with Riot Games choosing to make it one of the lighter updates of the new Act.

With Episode 5 Act 2 dropping with patch 5.04, the developers will be looking to keep things as small as possible with the new update and not take many eyes away from the ongoing VCT Champions Instanbul.

Hence, with patch 5.05, the Valorant developers will only be tackling some of the key performance issues that the title has been facing for quite some time now. One of the biggest highlights will be the fix that will be making its way to the reporting feature, allowing players to “self-report” when they are inside the game.

Changes will also hit Context Menu and Friend Note as a bug made the text fields close when a Friend's status is updated in the Social Panel. Additionally, another bug will be addressed, which was causing the Party Leader's matchmaking lobby selection to affect in-game Party Members' status in the Social Panel.
