Valorant October 20, 2026 Kai Mercer
Valorant's patch 13.08 landed on October 13 with two headline changes: a brand-new map rating system and a substantial rework of Corrode.
The rating system lets players weigh in on maps after matches, giving Riot direct data on which layouts the community actually enjoys. The competitive map pool was also shuffled to match.
Corrode's changes alter several key sightlines and rotations, so expect your old lineups to need a refresh. If your rank slipped while you relearn it, our coaches and boosters can help you get back to where you belong.
