Valorant Patch Notes 9.11: Neon Nerfs, Vyse Changes, Ping System Rework and More

The latest Valorant Patch Notes are now available, this patch addresses the "Neon Problem" at last, featuring tweaks and changes to Neon in hopes to balance her and make it fair for the others to go against this agent. In addition, this patch also features some additions and changes to Vyse, the Ping System and more. Here's Valorant Patch Notes 9.11

AGENT UPDATES

ALL PLATFORMS

• Neon
  • High Gear
    • Neon’s slide is correctly positioned as an aggressive combat tool, but making a call around when to cast should be more important than it is currently, and that she should pay more of a cost when she slides.
      • Additionally, we want to sharpen the slide as a close-quarters combat tool to reward Neon for sprinting up to her opponents rather than consistently beaming opponents at long ranges.
    • Slides 2 >>> 1
    • Accuracy during slide
      • Full accuracy >>> Crouch-walking accuracy
  • OVERDRIVE
• Duration of ultimate: 20s >>> 10s
• Ultimate points 7 >>> 8
• Vyse
  • Razorvine
• Damage per tick of moving through Razorvine: 6 >>> 10
• Vertical drop spawn height: 450 >>> 300
  • This means Razorvine will no longer affect players as far under it when spawning high up on objects/level geometry
• Now slows enemy dashes similar to Sage’s Slowing Orb and concusses.
• Arc Rose
  • Arc Rose is getting some minor quality of life updates that should make aggressing off its initial placement easier.
  • Equip speed after cast
    • Normal >>> Fast

GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS UPDATES
