Looks hella fun, man. Best of luck :)

People are complaining because the agents that are oppressive in ranked (e.g. Reyna, Iso, Clove, Chamber) are practically the only agents not getting nerfs and will thereby be picked more often and not less

Sova (owl)

I'm not entirely sure if the nerf is just info sentinels or all sentinels in general

I excluded Skye and Tejo because they have both have stuns, which weren't explicitly stated to be nerfed but I assumed would be part of the overall stun nerf

When the adjustable desks get added (he has height insecurity)

This would probably be a ... disaster

being time based has proven to be bad IMO

We've never not had time-based. How are you coming to this conclusion?

Atp the purpose of decay is to accommodate for Phantom users

The entire point of a duelist is to be self-sufficient

No LEV, G2, or Furia

That's a pretty bold prediction, KGad

He got 6 4Ks, 17 first bloods, and 20 op kills, what the hell

Nerfed Raze is unironically the best duelist at this point </3

I'm glad I can play her decently well

I wasn't sure if the change applied to Veto or Chamber tbh, but as you mentioned, there's a chance it does, in which case the list is literally just Jett Raze Phoenix Clove Harbor 💀

Nah she's already at 40 seconds

Neon as well. Why is she back to 60 SECONDS?

In 3 days

The ult is a LOT smaller now

Yeah I guess it depends, but it's absurd that people can tank the trips and still be in a 50/50 against the Cypher

Everything is here

His trips don't stun anymore (just a slow), there's no more reveal until the full windup is complete, and if you're close enough you can see the cam without it being opened (they didn't say how close, but there's a chance it's similar or worse than Vyse flash in terms of distance)

The sentinels mains got giga nerfed this patch though so obviously they're not super happy about it

Just for comparison, 60 seconds is what it originally was for Neon back when she was getting zero play in 2023

His ult is like half the size wdym "almost nothing"

Okay but let's be real, this is Blizzard we're talking about

It wasn't unanimous, the Jett/Reyna/Chamber main and CS frog minorities were just VERY loud

Isn't that just 5v5 skirmishes

You say that but Reyna, Iso, and Sage are all getting nerfs

Nah I get what you're saying though

Correction: don't, never have, and never will know what they're doing

We're talking about Harbor ult here (see #3)

It stuns for 2 seconds per stun

Iso ult covers significantly less space now

His ult stuns for 2 seconds currently... correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's less than the standard stun duration they're going for

Re-read what I said

Here's a list of EVERY SINGLE AGENT in VALORANT who ISN'T getting nerfed in ANY way, shape, or form:

• Jett
• Raze
• Phoenix
• Clove
• Chamber
• Veto (assuming he's not part of the stim buffs, since the devs didn't mention his ult for some reason)

Oh yeah and I guess also Harbor, but there's literally no way to nerf him at this point. His rework is a month from now but he's probably gonna be horrible anyway

Suck is now worse (I think), stun is now shorter, cooldowns are now 40 seconds for smokes and 60 seconds for everything else

Nah the Omen nerfs were justified. Clove is already a horrible agent and people are gonna play her in ranked even if her smokes have a literal 3 round cooldown

The heck did Astra do to deserve this, though? Are we for real, Riot?

I'm a Harbor main and even I'm crashing out about these updates

You're also never getting any smokes from now on! Nor are you getting support utility from initiators, especially if they default util at the start of the round (which is a GOOD THING TO DO, mind you).

Man I LOVE these changes!

You'd think they'd want other sentinels to "have a chance" but nooOooOOoOo they nerfed CYPHER as well! And KILLJOY! And SAGE but ONLY THE USEFUL ABILITY!! And Deadlock also got a nerf but it was to her worst ability for some reason???? But yeah Chamber and Veto, the other "sentinels" yeah they're perfectly fine!

WHY DOES VYSE LITERALLY GET LESS INFO THAN VETO NOW

Yeah the overview vid isn't actually out yet, they just posted a trailer and a bunch of shorts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmYUeS971XE

The initiator and controller specific ones are shorts posted by the same channek

He's just hella inconsistent. Half the games are heaters, half the games are ferrari peeking and dying every round. All he's missing is some discipline tbh

It's actually Yoru Skye Harbor Viper Vyse but y'all ain't ready for that conversation

Python is fun wdym

72 assists in a BO5 is not easy
