Valorant Leaks

Okay am I the only one that sincerely thinks 90% of new agent leaks, new map change leaks, etc. are done intentionally by riot to probe the community's response?

Like there's no way whatever random dev that keeps putting out these perfect comparisons of Icebox before and after is still hired after 2 years of similar-looking leaks right?

Istg these "leaks" are just glorified teasers. The only one that's felt real so far was when Saadhak accidently leaked Iso

I think I saw ValorLeaks talking about how some of the stuff is datamined from the game files but idrk

The only Valorant leaks I want is a nude photo of yay

They are data mined.

Riot knows they will be data mined and leaked so in essence riot leaks it’s own stuff.

Fortnite was the same, except since there were weekly patches on it the leaks were constant, leakers have just become a really important part of the community and I don't think Riot dislikes it at all, brings hype, or at least attracts attention of whatever sort

I believe ValorLeaks does work with Riot and gets a lot of publicity to upcoming changes, images such as the map changes couldn't have been datamined (I dont think?) and they were the exact same as the official Riot ones
