Tweeted a reply chain here about some leaks/misinformation that was spreading around - the end of the year will be a very exciting time to be a valorant player between our EoY patch, Harbor, and some other special surprises. https://t.co/4XEpRjTn06
@minijake_ we have many adjustments coming in patch 11.08, but the goal of those is to refocus the balance between abilities and weapons across a lot of the game. (1/x)

We're not removing refresh utility! We are increasing CDs on some abilities to encourage more thoughtful usage, though. We still want utility to shine - we just want players to use it more selectively. Leaks are often inaccurate. Check out the 11.08 notes dropping Monday 10/13!
Removing refresh utility, when information-cycling is core to the strategic identity of VALORANT, ain't it. The game is probs the most gun-play focused it has ever been and having less tools to deal with 4-1/5-0 gameplay and untradeble agents like Yoru/Chamber/Veto will be bad.

the Champions Trophy is big... but not that big! Sorry for the bug! 😭 We're disabling the Arcane Gauntlets melee to address this bug. a fix will be deployed with Patch 11.06 next week and the melee will be available again then!

My team's hiring a Game Designer on VALORANT! This is a pretty unique opportunity - professional game design experience is not required for this role (but prior professional experience is). If you want to pivot into game dev, hit the link for more info: https://t.co/y3ehvXeJWE

This is why we fight. Listen to the VALORANT Year 5 Anthem “EGO” performed by Qing Madi as Mary Ade.

For what it's worth - we agree that Neon is too strong as well. We're working on some adjustments to balance out the parts that feel overpowered while maintaining her grounded movement combat fantasy. These changes are coming in patch 9.11.

We sorta left this little detail out of our before/ afters 😅 oops. This loops back to my post over the weekend - Retakes vs B Main post plants should feel more doable now. I want to hear all the feedback (good and bad) once you've gotten some reps 👀
Sunset B Site Planting locations have been completely changed following the update (📸 @draobrevoh // #VALORANT)

@TenZOfficial fwiw I agree. I think it's fine if a post plant is played from main occasionally but I don't love how prominent this play pattern is on our maps right now. I'm invested in making it better.

Really excited for both the 9.08 and 9.10 patches. We put a lot of effort into pushing more content into these and I think there's a lot to be excited about - new stuff like a TDM map + a new armor type, on top of lots of balance changes and updates (including Phoenix!)
Just. One. More. New skinlines, the Game Changers Championship, the Year-End Patches, a new Battlepass and so much more. Episode 9 Act lll starts now.

Hi, there’s an issue with Unrated & Swiftplay right now. Currently, when players reach 12-12 in Unrated or 4-4 in Swiftplay they'll go into OT instead of Sudden Death. We're working on getting a fix to get Sudden Death back for both PC and Console. Thanks for the reports!

Phoenix's heal should be fixed on live now.
Working on this now, sorry for the weak heals in the interim Phoenix players!

Fix should be live now!
Hey all - there's a Phoenix bug on live that's causing him to heal less from his signature ability than intended. We're actively investigating a fix to this issue for both PC and Console platforms. Thanks for all the reports, we'll send an update once the fix is shipped to live!
