VALORANT has released upcoming Agent updates.
RIOT have released the Agent updates coming with VALORANT patch 8.11 early. These changes are potentially pretty game changing, so the team wanted to give players a heads up in order for the player base to prepare for the update.
There are more updates coming when the full VALORANT 8.11 Patch Notes release. These notes are coming on June 11.
VALORANT explain logic behind 8.11 Agent updates
Outlining the overall emphasis behind the upcoming Agent updates, the VALORANT team explained that these changes are focused around allowing other Duellists their ability to shine. At the moment, Agents like Jett and Raze are very dominant in this class.
These updates, VALORANT hope, will see Agents like Neon and Reyna be a much more appealing alternative to Jett and Raze.
Here are all the changes shared by the VALORANT team.
ISO:
ISO is getting a series of buffs to combat his underperformance in all skill brackets. His signature ability is a key area of improvement, with VALORANT hoping that he will be more reliable at challenging contested spaces and able to win more opening duels.
NEON:
Neon, another VALORANT agent getting updates in the 8.11 patch, should be better at taking mobile fights with opponents when this patch releases. She will no longer have any weapon movement error while sliding, allowing Neon players to be a lot more aggressive with this ability.
