Valorant 10.11: Premier Ranked Rewards

Valorant 10.11 Adds Premier Rewards, Deadlock Buffs and New Map

Valorant's latest patch 10.11 is packed with updates that not only reward dedicated players but also bring long-awaited changes to agents and maps. Whether you're grinding the ranks or looking for a fresh competitive boost, this patch has something for everyone.

How to Get Premier Ranked Rewards

Riot Games has confirmed new incentives for players participating in the V25A3 Premier playoffs. The biggest reward? A unique player card effect granted to playoff winners, letting them show off their success directly on their profiles. This animated card flair will be given to players who actively contributed—meaning they’ve played at least two weekly matches or participated in one playoff match for their team.

If you're part of a Premier team this stage, hold off on leaving until the playoffs wrap up. The rewards will roll out at the beginning of Stage V25A4, with the upcoming Season 2025 Act 4, and leaving early could forfeit your prize. In addition to the exclusive card effect, playoff participants will receive a gun buddy and title within 24 hours of the competition's end.

Premier mode has been a significant addition to Valorant, offering players a structured way to experience team-based competitive play without needing to climb the pro ladder. It’s Riot’s attempt at grassroots boosting for the esports scene—giving even casual teams a shot at making it to the Challengers League. With meaningful rank-based incentives like these, the Premier system is evolving into a true stepping stone for aspiring pros.

Deadlock Finally Gets the Buff She Deserves

For months, Deadlock has been a rare sight in ranked matches, with many players considering her kit underwhelming. However, patch 10.11 brings a game-changing buff to her GravNet ability that could significantly boost her viability.

Previously, GravNet only slowed and forced crouching—barely scratching the surface in a game full of speedy duelists and mobility-focused agents. Now, it roots enemies entirely, disabling all movement-based abilities. This means any agent caught by GravNet is locked down and vulnerable to flanks or lethal utility. It's a major shift that gives Deadlock the crowd-control power she’s been missing.

These changes position Deadlock as a strong defensive pick, particularly in chokepoints or high-traffic areas. She can now single-handedly halt enemy pushes or stall site takes while her team regroups. This rework signals Riot's commitment to balancing underused agents and keeping every pick viable across all ranks.

Icebox Disabled, Finisher Cam Added

On the map front, Icebox has been temporarily removed from Deathmatch and Escalation modes due to unresolved issues. Riot has not shared a timeline for its return, but the removal aims to ensure smoother gameplay across modes.

Meanwhile, a new Finisher Cam has been added to help reduce visual clutter during flashy ult finishes. Similar to the Spike Cam, this new view mode should make it easier to track the action and appreciate the stylish animations tied to premium skinlines.

A New Valorant Map and Agent on the Way

Riot has confirmed a new map will be revealed during the Grand Finals of Masters Toronto in a showmatch featuring popular streamers Tarik and Disguised Toast. The map will be playable in ranked queues from day one and will come with an RR bonus for early adopters—a tempting offer for players looking to boost their rank quickly while learning a new environment.

Rumors are also swirling about an upcoming agent, thanks to leaks from sources like @VALORANTLeaksEN. While Riot has yet to confirm anything official, early teasers suggest the agent could bring fresh utility to the roster—potentially shaking up the current meta.

Looking Ahead: Major Valorant Upgrades in 2025

Looking into 2025, Riot plans to release a suite of major upgrades for Valorant. These include a long-requested replay system, performance enhancements, and a full migration to Unreal Engine 5. These improvements are expected to breathe new life into ranked play and boosting the overall player experience—especially for content creators and analysts looking to fine-tune their skills or review gameplay in detail.

Final Thoughts

With patch 10.11, Riot Games continues to push Valorant in a more competitive and rewarding direction. Between the Premier rewards that increase team motivation, the agent reworks that reshape viability, and the teased additions on the horizon, there’s no better time to dive back into the game—whether you’re chasing a higher rank or just want to enjoy the fresh content.
