Riot on why Valorant patch 3.12 is so small. How do the developers explain the latest description?

Valorant

A patch is being released to Valorant, marked as 3.12.


The new update is relatively small, does not contain major changes, and is limited to bug fixes and agent-specific key assignments. It is definitely nothing amazing.

Why is that so? Riot responds in a very convenient way:

Light one to close the year so you can go home and be a family person.

But hey, Agent-specific keybinds are finally here. We did say Episode 3, didn’t we?

GAME SYSTEM UPDATES

AGENT-SPECIFIC KEYBINDS

  • We heard you loud and clear. You can now go to the Settings Menu and set different keybinds for each Agent!
  • Go to Settings >> Controls >> Actions to get started
  • Added ability to create, delete, and search for keybind profiles for each Agent. You cannot create more than one profile per Agent.
  • Added ability to copy your default keybindings to a single profile or all profiles at once.
  • Now when your keybinds are in conflict, you can see what other items the binding is assigned to.
  • You can revert individual changes made to bindings in each keybind profile. Reverting will reset the keybind to what it was at the time the profile was created.

SOCIAL UPDATES

  • Report in Agent Select is now live!
    • You can now report disruptive players during the pregame. Just hover over the name and click REPORT.
    • You can also add players to your friends list if you have a positive experience.
