Throughout her VALORANT broadcast yesterday, streamer Kyedae Alicia Shymko—higher often known as simply Kyedae—suffered a horrible spherical loss in entrance of her viewers when her Raze final capacity glitched out, inflicting her dying and costing her group the spherical.
In a clip captured from the stream by Twitch user chunny0, we see Kyedae land a kill on the opposite group’s Skye earlier than turning to take one other battle with their Omen after getting her ult. She fires the Showstopper, just for it to depart the opposite participant utterly unscathed regardless of hitting them straight. This glitch gave the enemy Omen an ideal alternative to take Kyedae out and win the spherical. The streamer’s group in the end went on to lose the sport, including a bit of additional sting to this mishap.
Sadly for any Raze mains on the market, this bug isn’t a brand new one and it appears notably troublesome to utterly squash, regardless of developer assurances that they can fix it. As not too long ago as August of final yr, VALORANT gamers had been dealing with no-damage Raze ults during matches.
That mentioned, the problem Kyedae skilled appears a bit totally different from iterations of this bug we’ve seen prior to now. A Reddit consumer whose clip gained traction in the community might have skilled points as a result of their ult hit close by packing containers, blocking harm to the enemy participant. In the meantime, Kyedae’s Showstopper shot was aimed straight on the opposing Omen with nothing obstructing it. Even her teammates may be heard saying she was cheated within the clip.
In accordance with VALORANT tech lead Marcus Reid, this situation happens when the builders’ approximation of an explosion inside the recreation isn’t fairly proper, because the recreation doesn’t really simulate actual explosions. Kyedae and plenty of different Raze gamers seemingly hope the following patch will tackle this bug so that they don’t have to fret about ineffective ultimates.
