Valorant Update 3.03 Patch Notes: Yoru Buffs Delayed Once Again
Valorant update 3.03 just landed and Yoru mains will be disappointed to find out that the promised buffs have been delayed again. Valorant character producer John Goscicki revealed that the Yoru changes the dev team was trying to get out by patch 3.02 have been delayed once again due to “unforeseen circumstances.” The incoming changes are not present in the Valorant update 3.03 patch notes and they have been delayed indefinitely. Valorant patch 3.03 does not have too many balance changes, but it has a ton of gameplay technology updates and bug fixes.
Why Yoru changes did not make it to the latest patch
Goscicki revealed the devs are “in a situation at the moment where certain resources needed to do this work are unavailable”, and it is unknown when the much-needed buffs will be deployed. The dev promised that whenever the dev team gets a clearer picture of when they can ship the changes, players will be notified immediately. He went on to the list the new changes which include the ability to shoot through Radianite crates, a system that allows AFK penalties to be reverted due to server issues and more.

Viper
Fixed a bug where Viper’s Pit started forming at the cursor placement point instead of around Viper
Riot Games revealed that while it is technically a bug fix, it alters how Viper’s Pit is deployed. The studio accidentally shipped a bug in 3.01 that caused her ultimate to spawn at her placement reticle instead of around her. Players thought of it as a buff but unfortunately for them, the change is now being reverted.
