VALORANT Patch Update 1.07: Sage and Killjoy on Nerf All-Out!

Today, September 2, 2020, Valorant is releasing the latest 1.07 patch! In this patch, we look at some of the skill adjustments given to Valorant agents. Sage, Killjoy, Viper and Breach are the 4 agents who received the update.

Sage and Killjoy, defensive agents that many Valorant players consider to be a little too overpowered receive some nerf (reduced stats) on their skills

Meanwhile, Viper and Breach, 2 of the least popular Valorant agents, receive several buffs (increased stats) to increase their attractiveness.

Apart from that, Riot Games also provides several updates for shotgun weapons and also for competitive modes.

Update Agent Valorant

Sage

Healing Orb

Healing reduced from 100 in 5 seconds >> 60 in 5 seconds
Self heal reduced from 100 in 5 seconds >> 60 in 10 seconds

This makes players no longer able to heal to full health if their HP is below 40.

Slow Orb (Slow ball)

Slow Orb Size decreased by 30%

During that time, Riot Games felt that the size of the slow orb that the Sage had thrown was covering an area that was too large, so they decided to reduce it.

Barrier Orb (Ice Wall)

Price reduced from 400 >> 300
Walls form at 400 HP. After a three second delay, the wall was strengthened to 800 HP.
