In the latest Valorant Patch 5.01, Riot Games has finally buffed the overall kit abilities of Phoenix after much demand from the community. Phoenix has been the weakest Duelist in the Valorant roster for quite some time, and his buff brings more variety in selecting team compositions. Apart from that, the developer has also announced the introduction of a new anti-smurf detection feature to curb the number of increasing smurfs in Valorant.
Updated smurf detection (NA only for now), collision behavior, and balance for Phoenix, KAY/O, and Yoru are all part of the next patch. Read it in Patch Notes 5.01:https://t.co/c8FXC5HYlIpic.twitter.com/huuvwwDeSe
