While Riot Games is enjoying their huge success with VALORANT, things are surely not entirely smooth. No game is fully immune to bugs and VALORANT is not an exception. All games eventually face some bugs of various impact size when they receive new content or balancement patches. This time though, VALORANT seem to have had a bit more than its fair share.

First part of the bugs is related to the micro-stutter issues which was recently addressed, and actually aimed with a hotfix by developers. While some part of these bugs are apparently cleared and overall performance is reported by players to be relatively better, issue still persists at some points. Such sneaky bugs are surely hard to deal with, but Riot Games have proven to be successful so far.

Second part of the bugs is related with the newly released map Icebox. One of the players in Reddit noticed that Omen is able to teleport under the kitchen and wallbang his enemies easily. Since the map is not active in competitive map pool, impact is not vital and Riot Games will probably be able to fix this one without causing too much issues.

Only serious concern related to such bugs could be the upcoming First Strike tournament which is the first major official event by Riot Games for VALORANT. This tournament will surely witness a very prestigious competition, and no one would like to see it getting ruined by such bugs.
