Valorant patch 6.11 official notes

1) Agent Updates

Breach

Rolling Thunder (X)

• Warning visuals have been updated to provide a clearer edge to the ultimate’s area of effect. This should make it easier to understand when you will and will not be hit by the ultimate.

Chamber

Rendezvous (E)

• Reduced weapon equip time after post-teleport lockout 0.7s >>> 0s

Trademark (C)

• Disable range 4000 >>> 5000
• Trap arm speed 4s >>> 2s

Tour De Force (X)

• Firing rate increased by 15%

Viper

Fuel Regeneration

• Reduced regeneration per second 5% >> 3.3%
• Regenerate to max fuel once empty 20s >>> 30s

Misc.

• When hit by Concussing abilities, Yoru's Fakeout (C) can now be visually affected.
• The timing of Omen’s From the Shadows (X) voiceover line will come in quicker to increase your discernibility.
• Sova's cape dynamics were redone and smoothed out, while still maintaining a silhouette close to his body to not give away enemy position.

2) Gameplay System Updates

• Combat Report now shows “Allies Dazed” in addition to “Enemies Dazed” for all Concuss abilities.
• Performance optimizations in Observer Mode when frequently switching between Agents who are using abilities.
• Tidying up font systems. Please report any issues if there are any characters or text that are different size or style compared to previous patches before 6.10.

3) Map Updates

Pearl

Adjusted the B Ramp Screen and removed the attacker cubby

• The Screen on B Ramp was providing a lot of mix-up pressure and had proven hard to deal with on retakes. Riot have made the Screen shorter and replaced the ramp with a jump up. This should make the position more committal and more predictable to deal with.
• Riot have also removed the attacker Ramp cubby as well. This reduces the number of positions to hold the long plant from and makes this space more vulnerable to flanks.

Adjusted B Site Screen

Added a new cubby in B Hall

• The new cubby gives defenders another position to play from. This provides extra space for defenders to reposition against incoming utility, and it creates new angles to contest B Link or the common Long plant spot.

Widened the pillar on B Site

• Adjusted the size of the B Site Pillar to give you a little bit more room to work with. This should also reduce the likelihood of getting spammed.

6) Bug Fixes

Agents

• Fixed bug with Killjoy’s utility not fading back into stealth when recovering from a disabled state
• Fixed Omen’s Shrouded Step (C) to not be interrupted if you’re Suppressed before teleporting.
• Fixed an issue where when Sage rotated her Barrier Orb (C) 90 degrees, she was blocked from placing the wall for .8 seconds. Now, Sage can place her wall immediately after rotating it 90 degrees.

Gameplay Systems

• Fixed Ability HUD overlapping in the Shooting Range when switching Agents.
• Fixed Kill Feed being out of order when one shot kills multiple players.

Social

• Fixed a bug where party groups in your friends list would sometimes be put in the wrong section. They’ll now always appear in the online section.
• Fixed a bug where push-to-talk wasn’t working when the Buy screen was open. Now you can talk while you shop.
