‘Valorant' 10.10 Patch Notes Bring PC And Console Closer Together
A new Valorant patch is here. Credit: Riot Games A new set of patch notes has been released for Valorant, and while there aren't too many big balance changes, it does set things up for grater parity between the console and PC versions of Valorant. The Valorant 10.10 patch notes have basically no real balance changes of consequence for standard play. Raze gets a visual update that will more accurately indicate hitboxes for her Boom Bot and Paint Shells, which should make playing against them a littler easier to manage. Other than that, all the balance changes come for the Swiftplay mode. In Swiftplay, new agent Tejo gets a change that sees his Armageddon starting points increase to three from two. Although, this isn't really a change for this patch, it's actually part of his rework from the last patch that went undocumented. Other agent changes come in the form of bug fixes, with the 10.10 patch notes featuring quite a few of them. Omen gets a change reverted from a few patches ago which should stop dead allies spectating Omen being able to see through nearsights, while the really annoying issue where Vyse could no longer use Arc Rose for the remainder of the round if it was placed too close to the spike has also been solved. You can see them all in the full patch notes. The bigger news is mostly behind the scenes, with some UI changes coming to Valorant on console to bring it closer in line with the PC version. This will bring the two versions closer together in terms of features, and should make it easier for the dev team to implement changes across both of them at the same time in the same way. Initially this is just to do with the Collection section of the menus, but you can expect to see a lot more changes like these in the coming months. It's also time for Pick'Ems to return, this time for Valorant Masters Toronto. From May 28th, you will be able to make your picks for the Swiss Stage in-client and on the web, with some rewards on the line if you manage to predict all the results correctly. With Masters just around the corner, it really isn't a surprise to see such a small patch for Valorant, but that should mean we are only a few weeks away from a much bigger patch that should bring some welcome balance changes and maybe even some new content to play with.

WWE releases former HBCU national champion
WWE has officially released Kayden Carter. The veteran pro wrestler spent the greater part of the past decade at the top of the sport and was one-half of the previous women's tag team champion duo with Katana Chance. Before Carter earned her spot with the WWE, she was known by her real name, Allyssa Lane, and was part of Shaw University's 2011-12 women's basketball NCAA Division II national championship team. Her success wasn't limited to the hardwood as she graduated magna cum laude before making a jump to wrestling in 2018. Advertisement Carter's journey from HBCU champ to a long run inside professional wrestling set the mark for a few others. She tried her hand at sports-entertainment and learned to mix it up in the ring from two of the best brawlers around, WWE Hall of Famers The Dudley Boyz, according to her WWE bio. "Carter didn't choose to limit herself to only a smash-mouth style. Instead, she took her trade to Mexico, learning the art of lucha libre and maximizing her natural awe-inspiring athleticism with high-flying attacks." Related: NBA legend and HBCU trailblazer dies at 88 In a significant series of roster moves, WWE released several talents, including Carter and Chance, as part of its post-WrestleMania adjustments. The duo last wrestled on the April 11th episode of WWE SmackDown, competing in the WWE Women's Tag Team Title #1 contender-ship gauntlet. They were moved from WWE Raw to WWE SmackDown as part of the transfer window.
