VALORANT Patch Notes 1.07

Alright, a full patch this time.
Killjoy gets her first major update, which should empower more counterplay against her Nanoswarm, as well as reduce its damage. Viper, Breach, Sova, and Sage also get some worthy changes.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.
This patch is also part of an ongoing follow through on a promise to improve hit registration clarity, with several changes coming to the VFX of hit impact markers.

AGENT UPDATES

 
 

SAGE

Heal Heal reduced from 100 over 5 seconds >>> 60 over 5 seconds   Self heal reduced from 100 over 5 seconds >>> 60 over 10 seconds

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 Size reduced by 30%

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.

Barrier Orb Cost reduced from 400 >>> 300 Fortifying Barrier: Wall forms at 400 HP—after a 3 second delay, the wall becomes fortified to 800 HP

Our hope is to increase counterplay on Barrier and reduce the strength of the wall during reactive use.



 

KILLJOY

Nanoswarm Added a brief windup before damage begins DPS reduced from 60 >>> 40 Visual effects have been added to make it easier to spot the grenade on the ground Stealth audio range has been slightly increased

Killjoy’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.
