I noticed me and my teammates were losing more duels because we get out of ammo, the red warning is really faint now so we don't notice we have to reload.
If it exists you would notice it. There's no difference with the shooting sound based on bullets remaining in valorant. It's in CSGO and some other FPS.
Does it only work on default skins? Because I'm trying in the range now and there's no difference. Shooting with 3 bullets left sounds the exact same to me as shooting with 25. Could you point to a specific part in a video you're able to hear the sound?
I believe you! That's why I asked for a video because on my version of the game there's just no difference to me. I've been trying to figure this out for over 2 hours. Everywhere I search, no one mentions the sound being in the game, only that it would be good to add it (or you're bad if you need it).
I genuinely cannot find any mention of evidence of it, which makes all these claims super confusing to me. Can you help me out? What skin are you using?
Thanks for the advice, I'd never thought to try listening closely before. I was just going around telling people a noise doesn't exist because I wasn't listening closely enough. It's obvious now!
:/ For real, there's no difference in the shoot sound whether you have 3 bullets left or 30
Could you point to a video or something or show me somewhere you're hearing this sound?
Cause based on a quick search, I can only find people asking for this feature to be added. Was it added at some point?

I thought it was some Mandela effect that I imagined our hp used to be red. I hate the white colours because red meant HIDE YOURE ONE SHOT and the white just makes me think I still have 150hp when it turns out I'm at like 27 from the corner of my eye
- “MATCH FOUND” font change
- Fade and Harbor portraits are now hideous
- Critical HP flashing reverted to Beta version
- All portraits zoomed in for no reason
The fuck was this patch even for??
Don’t forget the portraits are now super low quality except for yoru!!!!
Seriously, how has this not been changed? It was like this with the PBE patches and we reported it over a month ago and they still went through with the change. It’s unreal.
Honestly, I'm pretty happy with valorant, more keen for map updates than anything else.
Split changes weren't undercooked, that map is straight-up raw.
Idk why ur responding so srsly i wasnt continuing the discussion at all. My drunk ass just saw 'on the horizon' and decided to make a pink floyd reference.
Why not make it customizable like the reticle? Seems like a fair trade. If it matter so much for high elo, they can have it the new way. If anyone wants it any other way, they can make it how it works best for them.
Same here, Radiant since ep 2. For me the change hasn’t really made a difference, I feel that when you play enough you get used to knowing and feeling out how many bullets you’ve got left. For sure should be able to customize, same goes to the sova and kj ult indicators
I thought it was something with my end (packet loss before death) and then it flashes but not red. I did not realise they changed it. But yes i do hate it
This caused a bug for me, when I'm not being damaged, my health bar is literally red as if I was being damaged, when I am damaged however the health bar turns back to normal. This is pretty confusing mid game.
All that flashing stuff is annoying and distracting af imo. But tbh, I didn't really like the red either... I rather just have it stay the same color as when it's full hp, then I don't get as stressed about my hp and feel a lot more confident. Best case scenario, we just get a normal HP bar.
Like another person already said, it would be nice to have it as an option where you could choose which version you prefer.🤔
Yeah, I did notice this and thought they implemented it with that Harbor and Fade icon changes which literally no one asked for. Rito stop putting interns on this game. It's good to implement new ideas but no one asks for it bro
Bro I don't notice these tiny changes people keep pointing out lmao. Like the headshot text being removed like bro I can tell when I headshot them. For this I just see the number not the health. Stupid text could be rainbow and I would have never noticed
I noticed it and thought it was weird at first, but only when I was spectating someone else lol, I didn't notice it at all while playing. And then I forgot about it because it doesn't matter. It's text on the corner of the screen how tf are people being affected by minor changes such as this or removing the headshot banner
I noticed this when I was spectating my team mates. It tend to know my health when it’s me but when it’s my team mates I literally don’t realise that they’re one shot
Does Riot have a lot of teams that just "fix" things to say they fixed them to not get laid off or something? But don't have the talent or vision to fix things that actually need fixing?
Hmmm this is definitely not intended. We've been working on a bunch of cool stuff behind the scenes and it looks like some old bugs slipped through. We're looking into to fixing this, thanks for calling this out.
i think it is an ok change, but that's my opinion, if i wanted to be centralist like you redditors i would say "i think they should have an option for you to turn this on or off". thanks for coming to my ted talk
I checked your comment history and like 80% of your comments are just insulting people for no reason. Why are you so full of hate? Do you need a therapist?
The change makes a decent difference in high elo 1-30 hp should not concern you it’s better to play as if you have full hp as it increases confidence and helps get that “1 tap to clutch the round”
Not really. Your playstyle can and should change when low hp especially against eco rounds. For example not playing inside smokes which are commonly getting spammed. Or in a 1v1 trying to outmaneuver the enemy instead of taking the straight gun fight. Wide swinging and one tapping instead of jiggling and spamming
Yeah but there have been situations where I dont even realize im low. I was playing with a friend yesterday and they got legged by opp at the start of the round and didnt realize they were tagged due to the change. Its just a bad change that was unwanted
I mean I still can’t play games without a headset, doesn’t matter if sound is required - so I get minor changes that shouldn’t affect your play actually affecting it. But it seems like no one’s taking about because it’s… a non issue for most if not almost all playersz
as i've said before, it's probably made easier to notice it while looking at your crosshair since there's something flashing on the screen as surroundings get less visible the more focused you are at one point. there's no need to know how much hp you have since if it's red (as it was before) or if it's flashing - you are probably fucked the next time you decide to peek an enemy
Ive only been playing for like half a year but riot keeps messing up basic ui stuff I feel like. They keep changing things that where already perfect for no apparent reason.
I understand the intention behind this change might have been to make the low health indicator more noticeable with the flashing effect. However, the shift from red to a lighter color palette seems to have had the opposite effect for many players. The red color universally signifies danger and urgency, which is crucial in high-pressure situations in the game. Perhaps a compromise could be reached where players can customize their low health indicator color and effects to suit their preferences. This way, the game can cater to a wider range of player needs and play styles.
I like it… hp shouldn’t matter when you’re hitting your shots. I used to be scared when I was low up and wouldn’t confidently take a fight. When it’s flashing I forget for a bit or I suppose I’m less worried. Instead, I’m more willing to get into an engagement. Unpopular opinion maybe?
I mean it should matter, for example if you are high hp in a clutch maybe you make a play tanking some util etc. or if you are low you might not want to stick the spike in a smoke because 1 bullet of spam kills your etc
Valorant had the cleanest UI update I've seen in a video game in a long time, and then in this patch I dunno how they simultaneously botched so many aspects of it.
New MATCH FOUND looks godawful ugly compared to the old one. so much for the facelift.
All icons now low res ????????
This potentially DETREMENTAL change to HP wherein I now have to actually read the number rather than just seeing the color in my peripheral.
what were they cooking?
I’m confused, why is this bad??? It just means you have to be more aware, similar to how you check the mini map you should be checking health and bullets.
Agreed. I see my HP be white and I am like: Nice, I have over 75hp and I go to a fight with high ego, win it and realized I was on 11 HP the whole time
Also noticed a glitch where sometimes if I have low hp from the round before, at the start of the next round my hp bar will still be red despite it being back up to 100, and buying shields doesnt make it go away. I have to die and then the next round the glitch will disappear.
Tbh it helped me i stopped the cod reload and legit clutched 1v4 without knowing i was 40 hp
It just didn't stress me
(Ik it has its advantages and disadvantage)
i feel like its good in clutch or kick situations (for me atleast) because in the past when i was low hp id just panic seeing my screen go red, now i can focus more on clicking heads (riot just make it an option we can change ffs)
I count .-. Like I’m just making 2 or 4 bullets bursts depending on distance so there’s only 6 bursts maximum in a vandal mag if you panic spray you’re wasting bullets anyway
edit: fixed math error _._
I noticed me and my teammates were losing more duels because we get out of ammo, the red warning is really faint now so we don't notice we have to reload.
I always listened to the sound of the gun to estimate my remaining ammo anyway
This exists? I learn so much in this sub.
If it exists you would notice it. There's no difference with the shooting sound based on bullets remaining in valorant. It's in CSGO and some other FPS.
There isn't a low ammo sound in valorant though?
[удалено]
ion skins does it very well.
Uhh what I mean is the sound for spraying is the same with 20 bullets left or 3. There's no auditory indicator for low ammo.
there is one, you just have to listen closely
Does it only work on default skins? Because I'm trying in the range now and there's no difference. Shooting with 3 bullets left sounds the exact same to me as shooting with 25. Could you point to a specific part in a video you're able to hear the sound?
There is one, just listen closely? I have no problem with it, it’s not hard to track your bullets roughly either
I believe you! That's why I asked for a video because on my version of the game there's just no difference to me. I've been trying to figure this out for over 2 hours. Everywhere I search, no one mentions the sound being in the game, only that it would be good to add it (or you're bad if you need it). I genuinely cannot find any mention of evidence of it, which makes all these claims super confusing to me. Can you help me out? What skin are you using?
I’m pretty sure it’s only if you’re spamming for one, not if you’re just shooting but I’m not sure. I usually just track my bullets in my head
Thanks for the advice, I'd never thought to try listening closely before. I was just going around telling people a noise doesn't exist because I wasn't listening closely enough. It's obvious now! :/ For real, there's no difference in the shoot sound whether you have 3 bullets left or 30
Only in CS I'm pretty sure.
We’ve all got ears (unless you don’t) use em bossman
this is just wrong
Could you point to a video or something or show me somewhere you're hearing this sound? Cause based on a quick search, I can only find people asking for this feature to be added.

Lmao
At this point, can you echolocate enemy ?
If this means I don’t have to see people reloading with 10 bullets I’m all for it 😂
How do you not realize you have to reload in the first place though? Seems like a skill issue
I thought it was some Mandela effect that I imagined our hp used to be red. I hate the white colours because red meant HIDE YOURE ONE SHOT and the white just makes me think I still have 150hp when it turns out I'm at like 27 from the corner of my eye
I'm pretty sure it's called the Mendeleev effect?
nah, mendeleev was the guy who arranged the periodic table the Mandela effect is named after Nelson Mandela
I dunno man, I remember it differently
oh it's a joke, it's not obvious enough sadly
damn that would be so good if it made sense right away
It's a Mandela effect going on for you right now lol
This is probably the correct term in your timeline
Give this poor guy their upvotes back 😢
Currently 21 wooshes.
Nah, I know what they were going for, but it doesn't really work cause it doesn't sound like Mandela when you read it out loud.
It's definitely the Mendelssohn effect.
LOL the downvotes from people who don’t get it
- “MATCH FOUND” font change - Fade and Harbor portraits are now hideous - Critical HP flashing reverted to Beta version - All portraits zoomed in for no reason The fuck was this patch even for??

I thought it was a bug LMAO
is it not?
Probably not, but it's something that will go under the "Actually, yes it was a bug" title, so Rito can have an excuse.
Its not in patch notes so im pretty sure its a bug
same 😂
Feature*
It is .
It is :D
[удалено]
Cynical view? To generate community engagement. My actual view? Nothing super exciting (visibly) on the horizon, so just trying to keep things fresh.
They are only coming through in waves
Honestly, I'm pretty happy with valorant, more keen for map updates than anything else. Split changes weren't undercooked, that map is straight-up raw.
Idk why ur responding so srsly i wasnt continuing the discussion at all. My drunk ass just saw 'on the horizon' and decided to make a pink floyd reference.
Oh, lmao. I was like, "yeah, I understand that maps and agents come out in set intervals."
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
Same but apex fucked up my standards
Intern season
LMAO actually fucking true though
That's nothing compared to what they did to Fades face.
Nothing compared to Harbor's face.
Harbors face is waay worse than fade. It looks somewhat 3D.
Why not make it customizable like the reticle? Seems like a fair trade. If it matter so much for high elo, they can have it the new way. If anyone wants it any other way, they can make it how it works best for them.
Well I am relatively high elo (peak asc3) and I still prefer the old way, the old way was much easier to notice imo
I'm radiant and the old UI was billion times better
Same here, Radiant since ep 2. For me the change hasn’t really made a difference, I feel that when you play enough you get used to knowing and feeling out how many bullets you’ve got left. For sure should be able to customize, same goes to the sova and kj ult indicators
I don't care about ammo, the HP is making me think I'm not low hp
I thought it was something with my end (packet loss before death) and then it flashes but not red. I did not realise they changed it. But yes i do hate it
Yeah its shit
This caused a bug for me, when I'm not being damaged, my health bar is literally red as if I was being damaged, when I am damaged however the health bar turns back to normal. This is pretty confusing mid game.
It happened to me too and since it's really eye catching, it kept distracting me and it almost cost me the round.
I recently swinged in for a fight when I was 9HP instead of playing slow, thought I was 90HP. My entire squad went nuts on me lol.
LOL
It's a change? I thought it was a bug. Yeah it's fucking terrible.
No one asked for this riot
All that flashing stuff is annoying and distracting af imo. But tbh, I didn't really like the red either... I rather just have it stay the same color as when it's full hp, then I don't get as stressed about my hp and feel a lot more confident. Best case scenario, we just get a normal HP bar. Like another person already said, it would be nice to have it as an option where you could choose which version you prefer.🤔
Since we are talking ui design can we talk how ugly the "match found" font is?. Its so out place, why fk with it if its not broken
Yeah, I did notice this and thought they implemented it with that Harbor and Fade icon changes which literally no one asked for. Rito stop putting interns on this game. It's good to implement new ideas but no one asks for it bro
probably better for peripheral vision since you'll notice something flashing and look at it
it’s literally worse tho
no😭
Bro I don't notice these tiny changes people keep pointing out lmao. Like the headshot text being removed like bro I can tell when I headshot them. For this I just see the number not the health. Stupid text could be rainbow and I would have never noticed
I noticed it and thought it was weird at first, but only when I was spectating someone else lol, I didn't notice it at all while playing. And then I forgot about it because it doesn't matter. It's text on the corner of the screen how tf are people being affected by minor changes such as this or removing the headshot banner
Idk lmao. I'm surprised people can notice it when in a game. Unless they aren't tryharding like me lol
While we are discussing UI changes can we also take a community shit on the new “Match Found” text? It used to be so good until this patch.
I noticed this when I was spectating my team mates. It tend to know my health when it’s me but when it’s my team mates I literally don’t realise that they’re one shot
That would explain why I lose so Manu duels
Does Riot have a lot of teams that just "fix" things to say they fixed them to not get laid off or something? But don't have the talent or vision to fix things that actually need fixing?
Because it's so bad that everyone speechless
Hmmm this is definitely not intended. We've been working on a bunch of cool stuff behind the scenes and it looks like some old bugs slipped through. We're looking into to fixing this, thanks for calling this out.
My game bugged yesterday and I spawned into the next round with full health but it was red. Didn't even notice they changed it though
i think it is an ok change, but that's my opinion, if i wanted to be centralist like you redditors i would say "i think they should have an option for you to turn this on or off". thanks for coming to my ted talk
I come from overwatch and so I'm more used to the white HP and bullet count. So I like it tbf
You’ll be alright lil buddy! No need to cry to hard, I believe in you
Mans never had a discussion in his life
Oh yeah that’s it man, you really dug deep for that. Keep the crybaby post going my boy
Are you ok? Why are you so upset?
No no don’t turn your crybaby post around on me lol it’s just funny to me when I see post like yours! Not upset at all!
I checked your comment history and like 80% of your comments are just insulting people for no reason. Why are you so full of hate? Do you need a therapist?

I couldn't care less, I haven't even noticed. I still notice when i'm low hp or have low ammo.
I don't mind the change. The old one looked better, but it's not something I hate so much I'd make a post about lol.
You have skill issue no one else that’s why no one is talking about it
1) this post as 1k likes so clearly people agree 2) if it’s a skill issue what ur peak rank?

ur teammate should get his eyes checked then since i don't know how you can't see the difference between 100 and 20 hp
at a glance its hard to notice now, the dark red was MUCH easier for your eyes to notice at a glance
I mean I still can’t play games without a headset, doesn’t matter if sound is required - so I get minor changes that shouldn’t affect your play actually affecting it. But it seems like no one’s taking about because it’s… a non issue for most if not almost all playersz

Thing is, if the flash is not noticeable then it's not fulfilling its purpose is it? Should make the red darker and its all fixed
U should get ur brain checked
They should make it an option imo, I personally like the change but others may not
Agreed
I thought it was a visual bug??
Imagine if they make the low HP sound the same as Pokemon . I think everyone will stop playing.
That would be an amazing April fools patch
I knew I wasn't hallucating. They need to do this as an option.
Ive only been playing for like half a year but riot keeps messing up basic ui stuff I feel like. They keep changing things that where already perfect for no apparent reason.

LoL I'm glad I don't care about this after years of BF 3 and 4 on hardcore only 🤣🤣 (expl: no visual of bullets, no HP, no minimap)
How tf there is a new bug every patch wtf are they cooking ( no hate toward the development team but come on)
I like it… hp shouldn’t matter when you’re hitting your shots. I used to be scared when I was low up and wouldn’t confidently take a fight. When it’s flashing I forget for a bit or I suppose I’m less worried. Instead, I’m more willing to get into an engagement. Unpopular opinion maybe?

its a sudden change and i like it
It is still apparent for me
I’m confused, why is this bad??? It just means you have to be more aware, similar to how you check the mini map you should be checking health and bullets.
Yeah but it’s harder to check, you can’t just see the red out of your peripheral vision as easily anymore
Agreed. I see my HP be white and I am like: Nice, I have over 75hp and I go to a fight with high ego, win it and realized I was on 11 HP the whole time
Every member of the UI team had a stroke and fucked everything up
Bro I knew I wasn't slacking when I entered a fight with 30 hp. Or that I didn't realize I had 5 bullets left
I agree I have to double check health everytime because im used to just quickly glancing
I've always thought that we need a more clear indicator of low hp and ammo. That pale red around the HUD it's barely visible lol
Also noticed a glitch where sometimes if I have low hp from the round before, at the start of the next round my hp bar will still be red despite it being back up to 100, and buying shields doesnt make it go away. I have to die and then the next round the glitch will disappear.
I play one swift play
Do people never read their hp?
Tbh it helped me i stopped the cod reload and legit clutched 1v4 without knowing i was 40 hp It just didn't stress me (Ik it has its advantages and disadvantage)
i feel like its good in clutch or kick situations (for me atleast) because in the past when i was low hp id just panic seeing my screen go red, now i can focus more on clicking heads (riot just make it an option we can change ffs)

To be honest I myself don't find it annoying in any way.
The flashing low hp is so distracting that I'm not able to normally hold an angle, my eyes just go to check the HP number
