Valorant’s newest patch is here and this time around there are tons of changes for players to get used to. The biggest changes is likely the nerf to Sage, but shotguns are getting a similarly-sized nerf as well. Other changes this patch include the first ever balance update for Killjoy, and tons of great new updates to the game’s Observer mode and even adds an anonymous feature for streamers. Note: These are not all the potential Breach changes we want to do, but as part of our ease-in, intentional-balance philosophy, we want to be measured. Stay tuned for more...potentially.) Our goal here is to make Shorty users work a little harder for the kills they get by requiring them to be a tad closer to their target. I know the devs are probably working on the Judge nerfs right now, just wanted to make this post because it's been enough time that the Judge reigned king.

This should slightly reduce the power of Slow Orb and increase intentionality. Right now, slow orb unintentionally covers a lot more ground than it should be if aimed properly.If one dart is loaded into a chamber, it will be fired at a greater velocity than if all three darts were loaded. Hitting an enemy past 10 meters will apply a different tagging value to them instead of the standard tagging This should slightly reduce the power of Slow Orb and increase intentionality. Right now, slow orb unintentionally covers a lot more ground than it should if aimed properly. Barrier Orb Remake match: When a match begins with a 4v5 (or more lopsided teams), players will now have the option to end the game they’re in and queue for a new one.

Fixed a bug where if both teams try to call a surrender vote, the team who called it second wouldn’t get the option to vote Off-screen flashes now match behavior of other flashes in the game and apply a minimum amount of flash more aggressively In testing, the Judge can Instant Kill when aiming at the body from point-blank to 10m, at 15-25m it needs two to three shots to kill, and at 30m it needs to do six to seven shots. That on paper seems normal, but the Time to Kill ( TTK ) calculations I did say otherwise.

Observers can change which teams outline are visible (defaults: H - All, J - Friendly to spectated player, K - Enemies of spectates players, L - None) Popular opinion, the Judge is MAD BROKEN. Everyone that goes against a Judge knows the frustration of being obliterated by an easy-to-use shotgun. I know the reasons why and how to fix it ( probably y'all know this already ), but hear me out.Our hope is to increase counterplay on Barrier and reduce the strength of the wall during reactive use.

Riot, you made a mistake with making this Shotgun objectively overpowered. I do have a couple of solutions for this that I know you can do for the next patch. You can just reduce the damage of the Judge straight-up, either by damage values or reducing the fire rate. You can also reduce the number of pellets it has now, like from 12 to 10 or 9. You can also reduce the distance at which the rounds are effective ( personally think this is a better idea ), because it shreds at too long of a distance. For instance, damage dropoff starts at 8m, and then up to 15m the damage of the weapon is reduced, and even more so up until 25m. Server hit VFX confirms will now spawn at the location of the hit on the character and stay attached to that position (previously, it spawned at the game space location and stayed there) The remake vote will last for the duration of the buy phase, if the vote is not passed by the end of buy phase it will expireKilljoy’s Nanoswarm has been a terror to play against. It’s meant to be a strong stalling and post plant tool—but we feel it’s currently dealing far too much damage and players aren’t able to engage in the desired counterplay. Sage might be the most-nerfed character in all of Valorant so far, but this time around Riot appears to be taking the kitchen-sink approach to reducing her power. Sage now only heals for 60 health instead of 100, and when she heals herself, the healing comes out half as fast. On top of that, her Slow Orb is also now 30% smaller. But Sage’s changes weren’t all nerfs, as her wall now has more health if it stands longer. The wall now starts at 400 health, but after three seconds grows to 800 health. These features take effect from agent select to game end. We also added an option to hide + auto-reject friend requests. As far as collectability goes, there’s an entire fandom that’s built around dart blasters — and not just those from Nerf, though it is the leader and the benchmark when it comes to that space,” says James Zahn, Nerf expert and senior editor at The Pop Insider. Ture, they may not be as valuable as certain Lego sets, but the most expensive Nerf guns are still sought after by collectors and investors who know what to look for.
