Valorant 7.03 Patch Notes: Riot Takes Major Leap Towards Reducing Toxicity

Valorant 7.03 patch notes are here with exciting new changes and store updates

The latest 7.03 patch notes have been released and will improve your gameplay experience. While there are some minor tweaks to the in-game store, the central focus of this update is on the back-end disciplinary systems. And the best part? You can now mute those toxic players in even more ways! Protect yourself from negativity and enjoy the game to the fullest.

The Toxicity Mitigation Process Continues and More

Have you noticed Riot's recent efforts to discourage toxic behavior? In their recent patch, they've made fantastic updates to the mute system, like muting party messages if someone on your team has already received a text mute. Moreover, you know, that one friend who's always complaining and not contributing anything? Now you can mute them too and enjoy a peaceful game.

Furthermore, you can now favorite your new battle pass gun buddy or skin bundle from the confirmation screen. No more switching back and forth, wasting time. And if you're into sprays, you'll love the new feature that takes you straight to the collections tab providing ample ease in equipping your desired item.

On top of that, the pesky bug that was causing Esports Hub to display incorrect times has finally been resolved. However, you might be disappointed if you were hoping for a new skin line to be added to the game with the upcoming Valorant patch 7.03. The Champions 2023 Bundle is still around for a few more weeks, so that no new skin line will be added.
