Goal is to bring the Vandal in closer competition with the Phantom. We believe these weapons aren’t that far off in competition and hope these changes will do that. Hit Impact VFX Update 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. All connected players on the team that called the remake may vote to remake the game— It’s required that all connected players agree to remake the game 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.All shotguns get their aimpunch and tagging tuned, you can choose to remake a match (under certain conditions), lots of tweaks to the observer tool, and you get some new features that should help keep your identity private in-game. 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.

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 expire 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. If the vote is successfully passed and the game is remade, all players who voted do not receive any XP or MMR adjustments for the match. The match will also not show up in match history. All disconnected players not part of the vote will take a full MMR loss for the game, and receive a leaver penalty equivalent to disconnecting from a full match.. Our goal is to reduce the amount of healing done throughout the round. Disincentivize Sage from self healing and make it more expensive to do so. Slow Orb Context: We want players to be able to play with either of these options without feeling one gives better clarity than the other

Hitting an enemy past 10 meters will apply a different tagging value to them instead of the standard tagging 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

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. Observers can change which teams outline are visible (defaults: H - All, J - Friendly to spectated player, K - Enemies of spectates players, L - None) If any player is disconnected at the start of the match (beginning of buy phase) through the entire first round, a remake call may be triggered at the start of the second round by typing /remake in chat. has a TTK of 1.90s ( it isn't 1.71s because I accounted for the required pauses to reset recoil and make the shots enough )Improved framerate by allowing a wider variety of VFX to be multi-threaded, examples include Brimstone’ Sky Smokes and Breach’s Rolling Thunder If the vote is successfully passed and the game is remade, all players who voted do not receive any XP or MMR adjustments for the match. The match will also not show up in match history. All disconnected players not part of the vote will take a full MMR loss for the game, and receive a leaver penalty equivalent to disconnecting from a full match. 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 This change should allow Viper, in many situations, to get her wall placed pre-round and then join her team before the barrier drops—or create uncertainty about her location when the round begins. Increasing the speed of the wall rising should reduce the awkward period that occurs after it starts to rise but isn’t covering all the angles Viper and her allies would expect. 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.

Polygon Valorant patch 1.07 notes: Sage nerfs, shotgun - Polygon

Goal is to bring the Vandal in closer competition with the Phantom. We believe these weapons aren’t that far off in competition and hope these changes will do that.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.
