Sinclair takes across-the-board nerfs to HP regen, gun damage and falloff, Vexing Bolt against objectives, Rabbit Hex and Audience Participation, and a bug that slowed lane troopers is fixed.

VALORANT Patch 13.05

This is a small patch, mostly bug fixes, ahead of the big 13.06 update. Riot starts penalizing stream sniping and instalock tools, Pick'Ems return for Champions Shanghai, and sound sprays are now only audible nearby. Riot also retimes how smokes on Astra, Brimstone, Clove, Miks and Omen dissipate, so they stop blocking flashes as they fade.
