As the holiday break comes to an end, Riot Games has already been able to satisfy all VALORED enthusiasts. The highly anticipated Lotus map, an improved Split, and the Battle Pass are just a few of the various new features that will be added to the game starting on January 10 with the commencement of Episode 6 Act 1.Get a sneak peek at these exciting enhancements by looking at the updates that are available for testing on the PBE server.
1. When utilizing toggle zoom, firearms now process zoom inputs for ADS and scopes differently.
2. Under unfavorable network conditions like packet loss and ping jitter, there should now be fewer instances where the client and server disagree about zoom. Additionally, it is now possible to buffer many zoom level transitions at once and to buffer zoom inputs when using toggle zoom earlier than before.
