Valorant patch 7.07 official notes: Haven map changes, 5-stack restrictions removed, bug fixes, and more

Valorant patch 7.07 notes are now live and the new update will be introducing quite a fair bit of changes to the map Haven. Another highlight of the patch will be 5-stack restrictions along with dealing with some of the performance issues that have been affecting the shooter for many players.

The 5-stack restrictions that were introduced in patch 7.06 are being removed as Riot is looking to make it more flexible. When talking about the change they said,

“Initially, the rank restriction was made to prevent people from illegitimately boosting to the highest ranks like Radiant. In the end, we realized that your ability to have flexibility with your 5 stack was more important than the very small number of people who abuse this exploit.”

Riot also said,

“However, we still recognize that boosting is a risk to competitive integrity and are working on an appropriate long term solution that doesn't impact your ability to play with friends in a 5 stack.”
