Valorant Patch 9.03 Brings Major Improvements
The newestValorantupdatebrings about numerous updates that will make your life less stressful.
The first thing we’d like to mention is theimprovements to ground AOE abilities.

Previously, surface-spreading skills such as Snakebite had a nasty tendency of dealing damage through walls. Their size would differ based on your position, which made you guess whether or not they would hit the enemies.
With the 9.03, there’s muchmore consistency in terms of their size and impact.

The second big improvement is how map-targeted abilities are shown. InValorant9.03, certain skills(such as Orbital Strike or Ruse) are shown on the minimap, allowing for more targeting precision.

Maps, Bugs, and Knickknacks
However, what excites us the most is theintroduction of the Pearl map to consoles. If you haven’t tried it, this sea-based level has a Mediterranean feel and is characterized by constant bullet-barrages in narrow streets.
A few of theagentsalso received some love. Sage’s Barrier Orb ability now has a placement preview, while Harbor’s High Tide no longer ends prematurely.

They fixed an issue where pinging a weapon on the ground wouldn’t show its name. The developers also tackledlanguage and observer issues, as well as certaintooltips.
While this update isn’t that exciting, as it doesn’t introduce new content besides Pearl, it definitely provides a few excellent improvements. We hope the Riot team will cook up something else in the near future.
