Here are the full notes and updates for VALORANT Patch 2.04 - Dot Esports

Other big updates in Patch 2.04 include Bind’s Teleporter now having open doors to prevent camping in Escalation, some reworks for competitive rankings, and smaller quality-of-life changes. .

Patch 2.04 marks the start of Episode Two, Act Two’s competitive season, which means there are some changes to multiple aspects of VALORANT’s ranked progression.

This means if you were a Radiant player at the end of the previous act, you will remain in Radiant on the leaderboard to begin the following act. 

But your Ranked Rating will still be reduced by 90 percent, which means Radiant players will still technically be bumped down to Immortal and need to prove they are still capable of being one of the best players in the world. 

On the smaller end of the ranked reworks, ranks won’t appear on Agent Select or in-game, meaning you will only see your non-party member’s rank on the end screen for a game
