With Valorant’s Episode 2 on the horizon, the Game developers pitched in their ideas which have culminated in the up and coming 2.0 patch.

The changes revealed in the live event are as follows:
- Maximum threshold of the ELO gained from a ranked victory will be 50 points.
- In the same way, a loss can cost you upto 30 ELO points.
- Also, you might gain or concede a minimum of 10 ELO points after every win and a loss respectively.
- When you settle on a tie, depending upon your performance, you could get rewarded upto 20 ELO points.
- Similarly, if you lose while on 0 RR, you’ll demote.
Valorant Ranked Mode Changes and Restrictions:
- Players above the “Immortal’ Rank are now restricted to either search for a Solo match or in a Duo lobby. This had previously been added to the “Dev Diaries” in order to make the games more Fairer and easy to match up.
- You can now calibrate uptil Platinum 3 in your placements.
- If you have an “Immortal” rank and fall in the Top 500 in your region, you will be awarded the Radiant Act Rank.
