'Valorant currently unplayable': Riot Games set to release new patch as Ninja calls out cheaters and glitches

Riot Games' Valorant is one of the most popular FPS games at the moment, having enjoyed a stellar run so far, ever since its release back in June this year.

From casual gamers to prominent streamers such as Ninja and Shroud, Valorant has steadily risen through the ranks to pose as a formidable foe to the likes of Fortnite and Call of Duty. However, with every positive, there is often a negative not too far behind.

As it is with most games these days, Valorant too, is not immune to the menace of cheating, which was recently pointed out by Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, who stated that the game was currently 'unplayable':

In addition to mentioning cheaters, Ninja also spoke out against the numerous glitches which have been plaguing the game of late, that being the VO associated with Cypher and Sova as well as connectivity issues in Ranked and Custom matches.

Keeping this in mind, Riot Games is all set to release a new patch, which promises to address these concerns:

The new Valorant patch is scheduled to arrive in-game today for the APAC+EU/CIS/TR regions at 9 pm (PT) and the Americas at 11 pm (PT).
