While there are no Agent buffs or nerfs in Patch 7.02, it does offer a couple of enhancements for players. One of the exciting additions is the Valorant Esports Hub, allowing players to follow Valorant Esports action directly from the game client.

Another enhancement involves player behavior updates, with Riot rolling out the Real-Time Text Evaluation and intervention system globally. This system, previously tested in the North American region via patch 5.10, aims to control disruptive situations and ill-behavior in matches more effectively.

Apart from these additions, the patch also includes new voice lines and bug fixes. Let's dive into the full Valorant 7.02 patch notes:
