Valorant 7.05 Patch Notes are good news for Astra fans as she finally gets buffs
Riot Games has released the Valorant 7.05 patch notes and makes some meaningful changes to Astra's Astral Form
Valorant update 7.05 is dropping today and Riot Games has released the patch notes for the new update. Despite Valorant patch notes usually being lengthy, it's a surprisingly brief batch today. Most notable is the buff to Astra's Astral Form ability that has been tweaked to allow her to hear what's going on around her physical body, which will hopefully give her a bit more of an edge. Considering she's remained one of the games least picked Agents, this tweak should hopefully push her in the right direction.
Also notable in this patch is the brand new map Sunset finally being added to the competitive rotation after its debut in Episode 7 Act 2. As well as some changes to competitive to stop people boosting with bots. You can view the full batch of patch notes as provided by Riot Games below:

COMPETITIVE UPDATES
There has been a wave of competitive rank boosting with bots and real players. In an effort to protect against this abuse, we have introduced restrictions where Ascendant players and higher can only invite players with Platinum rank and higher to their competitive party.
We will continue to actively monitor botting abuse and ban any accounts suspicious of this behavior.

AGENT UPDATES
Astra
Going in and out of Astral form is a complex mechanical task that leaves Astra vulnerable to attackers by denying her information about her surroundings. The change we’ve made to her Astral Form (X) gives Astra back some agency and information, allowing you to react to enemy footsteps and utility you may have missed while in Astral Form.
Astral Form (X)
- Astra will now be able to hear everything happening around her physical body while in Astral form.
MAP UPDATES
Sunset
Sunset will now be in the map rotation for Competitive mode.
Competitive map rotation includes: Sunset, Breeze, Ascent, Haven, Bind, Split, and Lotus
BUG FIXES
General
Fixed a bug where the SFX volume would default back to 100% volume when Alt-Tab-ing out of game.
Agent
Fixed a bug where there was a small audio deadzone in Astra’s Cosmic Divide (X).
Fixed a bug where Deadlock’s Sonic Sensor (Q) would trigger when Gekko’s Wingman (Q) walks near it.
Fixed a bug where other Agents were not animating when they moved through Omen’s Dark Cover (E) ability.
Fixed a bug where Cypher’s Trapwire (C) would sometimes fail to activate when placed on stairs.

Player Behavior
Fixed an issue where people who were chat restricted by Real-Time Interventions were also disconnected from the text chat instead of just muted from text chat.
Fixed an issue where there was no warning message when you had a conflicting keybind for team or party voice chat.
Fixed an issue where switching between Unrated and Competitive queues would cause the restriction timer for the queue delay to replace the ranked restriction timer.
Fixed an issue where creating an Agent Profile reverted Push-to-Talk keybinds back to their defaults.
And that just about does it for the patch notes relating to Valorant update 7.05. Rather brief compared to the usual ream, but hopefully effective in a way that impacts players positively.
