Riot's competitive shooter Valorant is always evolving, and the game has already received a new patch just days after its major 2.0 update. As its number implies, Patch 2.01 isn't nearly as large or all-encompassing as the previous update, but it still contains a number of significant changes to the game, particularly to the map Split and the character Jett.

As the patch notes reveal, Valorant's designers feel that the game currently allows offense-focused "duelists" like Jett to serve as substitutes for the more utility-oriented "controller" characters like Brimstone and the perennially underpowered Viper. As such, Jett's smokes now last for less than half of their previous seven-second duration.

The patch also applies several major changes to the map Split, increasing the width of doorways to give attackers more room to navigate, as well as changing some angles to make it more difficult for defenders to post up in hard-to-attack areas. These changes are intended to make the map more favorable to attackers. The patch also introduces several other small changes, such as the ability to hide custom games from your match history.
