Chamber is clearly Valorant’s most overpowered Agent proper now, dominating the sport’s meta throughout each ranked {and professional} play, even regardless of a nerf again in Patch 4.09 which took away one among his journeys. Gamers all through the Valorant neighborhood have since been calling for extra drastic measures, and at the moment we’ve discovered that Riot Video games is intent on delivering them — an replace to the sport’s Public Beta Atmosphere server (PBE) is trialing a number of latest Chamber nerfs, they usually’re actually hefty.
Basically, all of Chamber’s package is getting a nerf, from the variety of factors it takes to cost his Final to the expense of every Headhunter bullet, and, in fact, a rise to the cooldown after utilizing his teleport. Right here’s the complete overview by way of the PBE patch notes:
AGENT UPDATES
Chamber
As gamers in each ranked and professional play have mastered Chamber, his strengths have began to overshadow his weaknesses, making the counterplay to Rendezvous and his arsenal not as efficient as we’d hoped. Chamber’s total energy has additionally felt outsized, and we imagine that we are able to cut back his package whereas nonetheless holding him aggressive with the remainder of the roster.
Rendezvous (E)
- Base Cooldown elevated 20s >>> 30s
- Recall Cooldown elevated 20s >>> 30s
- Cooldown set to 45s every time a Rendezvous anchor is destroyed
- Radius Measurement decreased 21m >>> 15m
Chamber’s Rendezvous is meant to be highly effective at holding area, however the beneficiant radius allowed him to take extra space than supposed. This variation ought to require Chamber to exert extra effort to entry off-angles.
We hope {that a} harsher punishment for destroyed Rendezvous anchors and the diminished radius will demand Chamber mains to be extra cautious of their use. This variation additionally brings the counterplay of Chamber’s destructible objects extra in keeping with the conduct of different destructible objects within the recreation.
Trademark (C)
- Gradual Length decreased 9.5 >>> 6s
Tour De Drive (X)
- Final Factors Required elevated 7 >>> 8
- Gradual Length decreased 9.5 >>> 6s
Headhunter (Q)
- Bullet Price elevated 100 >>> 150
It’s necessary that Headhunter is a robust sidearm for Chamber however at its present value level Chamber doesn’t have to have interaction in making troublesome financial selections as meaningfully as different Brokers. This could most noticeably impression Chamber’s decision-making on pistol rounds and save rounds.
Do remember the fact that these modifications are only a trial and are topic to alter. That being mentioned, most of the time the updates to the Valorant PBE server do make it into the sport sooner or later. The PBE server is barely accessible within the North American area, and solely to those that have registered by way of the official web site.
The nerf will go an extended strategy to remedy a difficulty I’ve mentioned in nice element in a characteristic concerning Chamber’s earlier nerf.
