Regular change for an esport is healthy, that’s for sure. Accordingly, that’s Riot Games’ attitude to the VALORANT Patch 4.04. Simply tweaking some items already in the game has made a huge difference. Read on as we address some of the major changes below!
VALORANT Patch 4.04 – Agents, Icebox and More
Indeed, Riot Games has made it clear that they won’t be adding much this Act, but simply fixing what’s already present.
Accordingly, let’s start with the multiple changes hitting agents, either listing as a nerf or a buff:
Agents:
- Omen – buff – increased ease to use abilities, quicker smoke placement and cheaper, paranoia faster
- Brimstone – buff – quicker smoke placement and improved Stim Beacon
- Astra – nerf – number of stars reduced, cooldown increased
- Viper – nerf – increased cooldowns, quicker fuel drain
- Yoru – buff – massive rework with much better abilities and improvements
Moreso, there’s a huge map change too. Specifically, the B site of Icebox has undergone a massive revision, making life easier for Controller characters alike. Accordingly, this involves widening lanes, providing alternative routes and simplifying the plant site.
Indeed, we can’t wait to see how this affects the competitive scene!
