Valorant patch 3.10 is now live and the newest Agent on the roster, Chamber, is finally available in-game.
We’ve been waiting for weeks to see Chamber join the main game. The 17th Valorant character has finally been put in the game with patch 3.10. Not only have we gotten a new Agent, but there are also a few competitive changes and bug fixes to look forward to. Let’s take a dive into all that’s coming in the latest Valorant update.

Ranked Changes
In an “effort to reduce smurfing,” Riot is removing all ranked restrictions from full, 5-stack parties. So no matter what rank your friends are, you’ll now be able to queue up with them in Competitive playlists.
In addition to freeing things up though, you’ll no longer be able to enter the Competitive queue in a group of four players. Riot said in the patch notes they felt like this left the fifth person as the odd one out, which they hope will reduce reports for toxic players.

COMPETITIVE UPDATES
Competitive queue 5-stack for any rank— In an effort to reduce smurfing, we’re removing all ranked restrictions from 5-stack parties in Competitive Queue. Our data has shown that the most common reason that players smurf, is because they want to play with their friends outside the bounds of our current ranked restrictions. Removing these boundaries for 5-stacks specifically, means that you can play with your friends regardless of the restrictions that exist for smaller party sizes in Competitive Queue. In implementing this change, we’re also adjusting the ruleset for these types of groups to mitigate against competitive integrity issues that wide skill disparity groups could cause. Here’s what you can expect when playing in this type of 5 stack:
Alongside the 5-stack changes, we are also removing 4-stacks from the Competitive queue. These types of groups tend to leave the remaining solo queue player with a relatively poor play experience, and we believe that removing this option will result in a significant reduction of overall toxicity reports. We are excited about these changes and the potential improvements they’ll bring, but are also acutely aware of the potential risks of changes like these. We’ll monitor the Competitive queue very closely in the coming weeks, and will quickly move to make adjustments if needed. —Matthew Le, Competitive Producer
