Valorant Patch Notes 3.12 are available at the moment. The new patch brings in minor changes that are more community-driven.
Valorant patch 3.11 was omitted, as Riot Games decided the Devs needed a break. The next patch 3.12 was in the works before the Valorant Champions started.
Also, Valorant Patch 3.12 is supposed to be the last Valorant patch of the year. As a result, Riot Games has not brought any changes to the gameplay.
Expect a major change or addition next. Maybe, Agent Sprinter arrives with the next Act due in January 2022.
Also, Agent-specific keybinds are finally here. Riot Devs brought in the much-awaited promises made in Episode 3.

Agent-specific Keybinds
- We heard you loud and clear. You can now go to the Settings Menu and set different keybinds for each Agent!
- Go to Settings >> Controls >> Actions to get started
- Added ability to create, delete, and search for keybind profiles for each Agent. You cannot create more than one profile per Agent.
- Added ability to copy your default keybindings to a single profile or all profiles at once.
- Now when your keybinds are in conflict, you can see what other items the binding is assigned to.
- You can revert individual changes made to bindings in each keybind profile. Reverting will reset the keybind to what it was at the time the profile was created.
