Fair point, maybe an option to enable it just on sage? We already have the health bars on the scoreboard, I don’t think any other agent really needs it

I need to verify but I think they only show up for Sage. If that's not the case then we have a bug.

As someone obsessed with the game's lore, I understand that some old lore has been retconned and some of those player cards may have been related to that, but that tree card really was special, as well as the stained glass card.

I loosely theorized that the tree was a sequoia or redwood that came too close to Radianite and grew to an astounding size. The Stained Glass card seemed like a reference to First Light, or maybe to a particular girl with some exceptional radiant powers.

The Haven Formation one was also spectacular, paired with the mystery of the device within. The Radianite explosion card stirred discussion regarding what kind of refining Kingdom is doing to the Radianite to produce the Spike "explosion" versus the explosion depicted in the player card.

I miss them, regardless of their involvement in the current lore; but if I had to pick one, the nameless Tree Card is definitely the most missed.

Edit: Thanks for your contribution to the game's art, and if you're able, send my love to the environment artists!

Thanks for this thoughtful writeup. :) I'm not an artist (just a producer), but I will tell the wonderful environment artists. I miss them so much now that I don't sit near them anymore due to quarantine. :'(

Have you ever looked at a tree? A life sustaining plant that gives into the world it's gift freely asking only for a place to grow. Let us celebrate this gift that nature has given to us. As we push forward into new technology and resources we should always look back at the basic ones we need to even exist. Fresh clean air is a thing to be protected and shouldn't we honor those you create it?

To quote the good Dr. Seuss and his book The Lorax

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

Also that book is about trees and I think it would be dope if the tree card came back.

Damn. That's deep.

Come on! The chicken spray crew was more specific than that.

Please bring back tree player card, amazing artwork!

You're like the 10th person on reddit to ask me for that. ;) What did you love about the tree card, out of curiosity? Can you band together with all the others who loved the tree card and tell me why you guys miss the tree card more than the other cards we removed?

Fuck you rito take my money

The skin design so far is awesome. Would love to see evolving skins like what Apex has. I think your gun evolving throughout every match /round would be sick.

So happy Riot is doing such a good job with this game imo

lolol these kind of comments are great, ty! <3

Im-Snaik

Will we get the reaver skins again? I really liked them

awww I love seeing all these comments about Reaver! I feel like during closed beta, I saw so many comments about people not liking Reaver. Now that it's gone, all you folks who loved Reaver are coming back to say how much you loved it and want it back! 3

RiotSWAGGERNAU7

soon tm

u/RiotSwaggernau7 is here waiting for an Op skin

Wee_Timmy

You're welcome!

THANK YOU, TIM!

Octuru

Give us more operator skins!!!

You're not the only one to ask for that! ;)

KYKUR88

Hey, can u tell us if u are taking back Ronin and Imperium skins at any time soon?

I want ronin sheriff and OP and the imperium knife with me :(

Hi! The skins in closed beta were all temporary. If any of them come back (like Luxe and Avalanche did), it will be with some updates, even if slight.

xXPalmoXx

Was the little world tree banner from the beta removed completely or will there be a way to obtain it in the future? I loved that banner so much

It's gone, at least in the form you saw. Long live the tree!

CadenH99

Stop you’re making me regret spending all my points from the beta on the prime collection :(.... I want that glowing short sword... reminds me of bilbo and Frodo’s sword from LOTR

I'm making myself spend all my points too! I love both melees.

Maybe Valorant can have shoe cosmetics, like how CSGO has gloves and TF2 has hats 🤔 🤔 🤔

Tactical clogs.

deltaconspiracy3

U cant even see your own feet in the game 💀

But what if you could see your own shoes...

ExoticDucky

So around atleast minimum 6 hours till EU patch ?

EU's 8pm PDT (5am CEST)

frostnxn

Do you plan on having a publicly shared update schedule in the future, instead of the "when it lands, it lands"?

Yes, we'll have a ticker posted in client 24hours in advance for future patches. Our general schedule will be platform down for maintenance at 6am for Americas, 2pm for KR/AP, and 8pm for EU (all times Tuesday PDT) for our standard patch timing. There's still potential for that to adjust, but that's our intended schedule.

My brain doesn’t even register it’s Cypher when his hat isn’t on so I agree with you on this

But what if he had customizable shoes...

Is there a definitive list for what specs are required for the setting to be available? I have a 2600X and I'm not seeing the option in the graphics quality settings.

It currently requires 8 logical cores and a Nvidia or AMD GPU with 6 GB of VRAM. These requirements may change in the future.

RiotBrentmeister

Hope they help! The Multithreaded rendering is going to be very dependent on spec + where you measure FPS.

Multithreaded rendering's biggest improvements will be in the Range and when running around maps. Other factors become the limiter in heavy combat, and we're still optimizing more.
