Q: Any updates on a possible in-game replay system?
Shortly after VALORANT’s launch we told you we were very much interested in exploring the feasibility of an in-game replay system to discover the best possible execution given a wide range of potential uses. The shortest answer today is that there is no plan for a player-facing version of a replay system, as of now.
We know this is a frequently requested feature from all types of players. Our exploration is continuous against developing our other VALORANT features (like new ways to track and reward Agent progress, player behavior tools, different ways to collect in-game items)—all to measure what makes the most sense to prioritize based on what serves the most players and has the most long term impact on game health. More directly, this exploration has helped us discover how we might use some of what we've learned to help improve observing in matches as well as evolving our live esports broadcasts.

How fucking retarded do you have to be to not add a replay system to an esport title?
And the wording around this is so pretentious. "We know you guys asked for it and we said we've been developing it, but hey we're not doing that anymore! Here have a few more cosmetics though."
