Riot Games has announced several Valorant Patch balance changes and updates coming in the near future. These updates aim to refine agent abilities and ensure a more balanced gameplay experience. Here’s everything we know so far about the changes in patches 9.10 and 9.11.
Neon Nerfs Coming in Patch 9.11
One of Riot’s developers, Penguin, confirmed via Twitter that adjustments to Neon are underway. The goal is to address her overpowered elements while preserving her unique “grounded movement combat fantasy.” These changes are expected in Valorant Patch 9.11, which is set to release in approximately three weeks.
Neon’s current kit has been a point of contention among players due to her overwhelming power in ranked play. While specifics of the nerfs have not been revealed, they aim to bring her in line with other duelists while maintaining her playstyle.
Harbor and Deadlock Buffs
In addition to Neon’s adjustments, Harbor and Deadlock are also slated for changes in Valorant patch 9.11. Both agents are considered underpowered in the current meta, and Riot’s efforts to enhance their abilities are likely intended to make them more viable in competitive matches.
Though details remain scarce, these buffs will likely focus on increasing the utility and effectiveness of their unique kits, addressing feedback from the community about their lackluster performance.
