Riot shuts down VALORANT’s competitive queue due to ‘no flash’ bug

Riot Games has temporarily turned off the competitive queue in VALORANT due to an exploit that can disable the flash effect for a player, effectively negating the effects of flash abilities of certain agents.

The flash effect can currently be turned off via a setting in the game’s menu, as numerous players have pointed out over the past day. The competitive queue will remain disabled until the exploit is fixed.
