Released just two years ago, Valorant is one of the most popular FPS games that combines the tactical gameplay from Counter-Strike and features characters with unique abilities from Overwatch.
Although the game does not come close to Counter-Strike in terms of popularity, according to the data from activeplayer.io, Valorant averaged 13,863,342 monthly players.
Valorant developers frequently update the game that sometimes brings in new content such as skins and agents and balance weapons.
That being said, some players recently complained about the Ares being overpowered after the Episode 4 patch and demanded that the developers revert the changes.
They also said that patch 4.01 will remove the beloved glitched-out version of the Killjoy player card known as Widejoy. Although the banner was glitched, many players said they loved it and were sporting the accessory.
Valorant players are now asking Riot Games not to remove Widejoy because they enjoyed the wide Killjoy banner. You can see how the banner looks like in the image below.
Some even went on to create a petition on Change.org asking Riot Games to not remove Widedjoy from Valorant. You can sign the petition here. At the time of writing, the petition has somewhere close to 4,800 signatures.
As it turns out, the lead of the dev team at Valorant has commented on the matter and said that they are working on bringing her back to the game.
We hope Valorant developers do not remove Widejoy from the game. As always, we will be keeping an active track of the developments on this one and update this story as and when required.
