VALORANT Patch 13.01 targets rank manipulation

In a July 14 announcement, Riot Games said Patch 13.01 strengthens detection of boosting, win-trading, and stream sniping. Confirmed manipulation can lead to rating or reward reversions, with permanent bans possible for repeated severe abuse.

  • The patch’s updated detection covers boosting, win-trading, and stream sniping.

  • Accounts involved in confirmed disruption may receive penalties, including boosters, boosted accounts, and hitchhikers.

  • Players can report suspected boosters through the in-game Rank Manipulation category.
