Riot Games’ Valorant has reached incredible heights in the short time after its release. With the game just being three years old, it has cultivated a competitive scene like no other. Furthermore, the competitive scene of this game is also ever-changing in nature. The competing teams always give their best to win every opponent they face.
In the recent Cloud9 vs Sentinels match-up, both teams had victory on their minds. And to get the best of the other team, Sentinels’ Zekken and Cloud9’s Xeppaa both chose the agent Raze. However, their decision to play with Raze led to a bug-filled match between the two pro teams.

Both teams matched up against each other in the VCT Americas LCQ. Sentinels supporters complained about issues with Raze’s Showstopper ultimate ability during the match. Sentinels’ Zekken cornered Cloud9’s Xeppaa, Leaf, and Jakee in one round with Showstopper ability enabled. Although all three opponent players were directly present in the blast radius, the three of them survived the attack with zero damage.

This was due to them hiding behind a box that had glitched, creating an invisible hitbox for the players that protected them. This has led to complaints from Valorant fans, who are asking Riot Games to quickly fix this issue. Furthermore, Xeppaa, who was also using Raze, faced somewhat similar problems during the match.
With Xeppaa and Zekken both missing Raze’s ultimate ability, fans have raised questions about the hitboxes Valorant has been using in the matches. Multiple fans have even asked Riot Games to completely remove the Fracture map from competitive matches.
