VALORANT Patch 7.05 fights bots, buffs Astra, and adds Sunset to the competitive map pool

Riot Games is quick on the trigger with another new patch just a week after VALORANT Episode Seven, Act Two went live, Aug. 29. Patch 7.05 will introduce new ranked restrictions in an attempt to fight boosters and bots, while also giving Astra an important buff and officially setting the competitive map rotation for the foreseeable future.

In the early patch notes posted on the VALORANT PBE subreddit, the developers at Riot noted that there “has been a wave of competitive rank boosting with bots and real players.” With that in mind, Riot has introduced a new competitive restriction, limiting Ascendant players and higher to only being able to invite players that are Platinum or higher to a competitive party.
