Due to difficulties with Patch 4.03, Riot has reduced the number of players in VALORANT Deathmatch

Riot Games released VALORANT patch 4.03 earlier this week, and it has now been revealed that the update has harmed the game’s deathmatch mode. To address these unforeseen developments, the developers announced today that the number of people in each lobby will be reduced.

Deathmatch modifications in Patch 4.03 included deleting and modifying “hazardous” spawn spots, “enhancing spawn logic” to spawn players further away from their death site, and halving spawn times.

This adjustment is only expected to be temporary, and it should only be in effect while the issues are being studied further. A remedy will most likely be rolled out in a future update to make things run more smoothly for gamers, but there is no timetable for when that will happen.
