Fixed an issue where Stars were placed slightly above the location Astra was targeting.Increased the speed of the overlay that covers Astra’s screen when transitioning in and out of Astral form.Astra’s targeting ring no longer randomly disappears when aiming across some map locations.Astra’s targeting ring in Astral form is reduced to one ring that reflects the now unified size of all her utility.While in Astral form, pings are no longer blocked by level geometry that Astra cannot see.Nebula cooldowns are now sequential instead of simultaneous.Nova Pulse no longer affects anyone fully underneath the Nova Pulse. Gravity Well no longer affects anyone fully underneath the Gravity Well. Max distance of Star Placement increased 10000 > 30000 to allow her to place Stars across the furthest corners of maps.Astra can now pick up placed Stars during the Buy Phase to refund their charge immediately.Cooldown on retrieving a Star increased 14 > 25.Paired with this, we’re taking the opportunity to provide some quality-of-life updates and bug fixes that we feel are long overdue. This starts by reducing her overall utility output and increasing her ability cooldown, in the hopes that this will increase the importance of each move she makes. We’re taking steps to create clearer relative weaknesses in an attempt to carve more space for our other Controllers. She’s crowded out Brimstone and Omen by replicating their strengths and they simply couldn’t keep up with the map-wide impact of her utility. With the mastery of Astra’s play patterns over time, she’s become an overwhelming force in both coordinated and high MMR play. Now also applies a 15% speed boost in addition to RapidFire.Smoke height increased to match other Controllers.With these changes, we’re hoping Brimstone will be a competitive choice on a healthy portion of the map pool. The limitations on his smoke deployment and his Stim Beacon’s versatility were leaving him too constrained. Added forward spawn offset, so players adjacent to Omen are not hitīrimstone is in a healthy spot overall, but he wasn’t performing well in scenarios where we think he should excel.We want to increase his reliability as a Controller by rolling back a selection of early nerfs to Dark Cover, and sharpen his combat-focused abilities.
Many of you enjoy his gameplay loop, but have found it increasingly difficult to justify his selection in higher tiers of play. These are the abilities affected:Īs strategic diversity in VALORANT evolved, Omen has struggled to find his place within the meta.

Meanwhile, Gatecrash’s teleport beacon-now with the ability to fake the teleport cues-will allow Yoru to create pressure around the map, confusing enemies in the process.ĭimensional Drift now gives Yoru full vision and access to his utility, allowing him to take space with his team while creating pressure on the backlines. To first focus on Yoru, Riot Games has confirmed that Fakeout is now a mirror image of Yoru and should help with adding a way to punish deceived enemies. Riot Games says today’s patch starts with the promised Yoru overhaul, a reshaping of the Controller role, and a renovation to Icebox.
