Perhaps one of the greatest improvements in Valorant Patch 9.06 is the fact that the voting system was updated so that draw votes no longer take into account AFK players. After numerous complaints from fans in the last few months, the developers have started to resolve one of the biggest issues in the game so far.

Moreover, the Combat Report will now display a notification saying Killed after you kill an ally, and the Killed By text has the correct alignment in Arabic. In case you decide you no longer need tips, you can simply click on the Off button in your Settings menu.
