Valorant Patch Notes 3.05 Leaked: Killjoy and Raze nerfed, Ranking system updates, release date and time: Valorant new patch is on the way featuring the new map Fracture and many other agents buffs and nerfs. However, @Valorleaks got some early info of the major changes taking place in the new update.

Valorant 3.05 Patch Notes:

• Map Updates
  • New Map: Fracture
• Competitive Updates
  • Immortal 1/2/3 rank tiers will be back with update 3.05. The Leaderboard will update to distinguish between tiers
  • Updated Ranked grouping restrictions:
    • Diamond 1 → Immortal 1
    • Diamond 2 → Immortal 2

• Battlepass Bonus XP
  • Upgrading to the Premium Battlepass will grant a 3% XP boost toward Battlepass tier progression for all matchmade games until the end of Act II.

Patch Release Date, Time in India

Riot Games confirmed that Valorant Episode 3, Act 2 will be released on September 8, 2021 in United States. Originally, this update was supposed to debut in August but was pushed back by the developers in mid-August.

As of now, a specific start time for the update has not been shared by Riot Games. The update is expected to enroll in Asia by September 9 mid night because of difference in the Time Zones.

Riot Games are expected to share an update on what is being planned this week in the coming hours.

Patch 3.05 to be used in VCT 3 Masters Berlin?

The patch may be delayed for Europe to tackle any issues found post release in the United States, so the patch maybe releasing on September 9 in Europe too.

September 9, Thursday, is also the date when VCT Masters Berlin commences, so it's most unlikely that it will be played on New Patch.
