Ultimately, patch 10.03 of VALORANT will not introduce any major balance changes to the game outside of standardizing the way agent slows interact with dashes across the board. The list of bug fixes, however, along with the a brand new look for the minimap, are most welcome changes that will seek to make the game a more seamless experience for everyone.
