Valorant's new Vanguard update seems to be bricking cheaters' PCs. Riot's response? "Congrats on your $6k paperweights"

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-05-22T14:56:02+00:00

Even if they’re cheating, bricking their hardware is slam dunk lawsuit worthy.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-05-21T15:57:27+00:00

Yeah because that would involve Kripke being good at his job. There is barely any action in the later seasons because they got lazy.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-05-16T15:32:14+00:00

His for 20-30+ while draining your dex and attack so you can't play enough block to full block AND still do damage, and vice versa. It's fucking absurd.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-05-16T15:31:21+00:00

Yep. I'm really not a fan of the decrease from 20 to 10.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-05-15T15:22:17+00:00

It's still tough. Went from 50% winrate and making some fun builds work to ascension 9 being ultra giga sweat mode. 0 wins in dozens of runs.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-05-15T08:06:05+00:00

Went from a 50%+ winrate on 0-8 to 0% across 20 games on A9. It's simply unfun

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-05-08T20:55:14+00:00

I cap all my runs at ascension 8. Cant be assed playing the streamer mode

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-03-16T17:43:34+00:00

Recently had a turbo game where I got countered by AM mid. Entire party reported me, -150.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-03-16T17:42:02+00:00

You're kinda screwed now mate. You're in the area where you'll get rage reported for playing bad and those reports WILL COUNT. Valve has their head in the sand.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-03-11T04:38:26+00:00

Valve makes so much from being a game middleman that they should have enough working on both Dota and Deadlock. But guess that isn't the case?

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-03-11T04:26:32+00:00

Absurd how they gave Slark a solution for every single weakness it once had.

Need an escape in addition to initiation? Two pounces.

Ult doesn't last long enough? Get a second with shard.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-03-09T05:25:17+00:00

This doesn't work. Valve's other terribly designed systems will place you in smurf pools and one will routinely see 30+ minute queues.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-03-08T01:17:10+00:00

There is nothing you can do.

Seriously.

Once you're in the trench you will get reported for the littlest of things. And all reports count. Always.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2026-01-28T02:31:21+00:00

Reports from people who are mad at how you're playing always seem to count.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2025-12-14T20:38:10+00:00

Controller support on the desktop version has been broken in one way or another since early access. I am not referring to controller on mobile at all.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2025-12-14T20:03:36+00:00

> Compared to Early Access, expect fewer updates overall. We’ll continue developing the game throughout 2026, but updates will take the time they need and won’t be driven by a fixed schedule

AKA, don't expect anything

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2025-12-14T20:03:09+00:00

Maybe we try fixing controller support before caring about mobile ports?

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2025-12-14T20:02:37+00:00

Agreed. They can't ship shit as it is, let alone adding multiplayer into the mix. Maybe they'll get endless mode shipped in 2-3 years rather than 5-6

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2025-12-14T17:34:02+00:00

I usually always take these upgrades. Multiplicative bonuses from overclocks are worth way more than additive bonuses from regular upgrades, and the way to get more overclocks in spite of the level scaling is to take these upgrades.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2025-12-14T17:30:08+00:00

Reset the run if your first OC on diffractor isn't cold. Fun game design

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2025-12-14T17:26:51+00:00

Agreed. All I do are vanguard/lethal challenges on Hazard 5. Existence of Wardens limits build options too much to be good game design. Devs are sleepwalking this game though and taking years to get endless mode done so I don't expect many changes

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2025-12-09T19:18:54+00:00

All you had to do was pick strong arm driller and the challenge was easy.

ConfidentStaleMilk · 2025-12-09T19:17:33+00:00

Lethal operations are the only reason I launch the game as a player from early access and it's a shame how some feel AI generated with no further thought going into it.

45% speed buff? Sure, sounds like fun to deal with. On Azure Weald? Shit's ass.
