TL;DR

A dataminer reveals an upcoming Valorant update where agent ability usage significantly impacts ACS scores, providing a detailed list of rewarding actions for 24 different agents.

Until now, the only factors determining your ranked performance were the number of kills you secured or the damage you dealt; however, these will no longer be the sole influences skill usage will also play a major role now. After the next weeks patch, using agent abilities in specific ways will directly impact your ACS, and in this article, I will explain how to utilize the abilities of every agent to boost your ACS.

Before I begin, I should point out that all the information you are about to read has been in the game files for a long time; this means things could change by the time of release, in which case I will write another article. Also, you will only see data for 24 agents in this article because the files currently contain data for only 24 agents the others haven't been added yet.
