What changes are in Valorant update 8.11?<\/b><\/h2>\n
While we wait for the full list of patch notes, the game\u2019s development team has revealed a selection of character changes and balance adjustments set to be included in the Valorant 8.11 update.<\/p>\n
Clove, for example, is being nerfed. Their Pick-Me-Up is having its cost increased from 100 to 200, it will last just eight seconds instead of ten, and its damaging assist time to activate has gone from ten seconds to six.<\/p>\n
Raze is another character who has been nerfed. Her Blast Pack has been looked at and her satchels no longer explode for damage\/knockback upon opponent destruction.<\/p>\n
Reyna, meanwhile, is getting buffs and nerfs as part of Valorant update 8.11. In one big change, Empress no longer has a timer and is permanent until Reyna is killed or the round ends.<\/p>\n

Full patch notes for Valorant update 8.11<\/b><\/h2>\n
The full patch notes have not yet been revealed for Valorant update 8.11 but the development team have provided a list of character changes that will be included.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll update this page as soon as we can after the full patch notes have been revealed but, for now, here\u2019s the Valorant 8.11 update patch notes:<\/p>\n
ISO<\/b><\/h3>\n
Iso is receiving strictly buffs this patch because he\u2019s underperforming across all skill brackets. Leaning into increasing Iso\u2019s signature ability output is intended to make Iso more reliable at challenging contested spaces and winning opening duels by granting his shield immediately after channeling the ability.<\/p>\n
Iso\u2019s buff will also remain active and orbs will still spawn should he lose his shield and secure a kill during Double Tap\u2019s uptime. Shooting the orbs will refresh the duration of the buff and the shield.<\/p>\n
\n- Double Tap (E)<\/b><\/li>\n
- Iso now grants himself a shield upon finishing a 1 second animation during which he can\u2019t use his gun.<\/li>\n
- This plays a shield forming sound at the end of the channel when the shield is activated.<\/li>\n
- Charges 2 >>> 1<\/li>\n
- Kill reset added to Double Tap (Iso gets a charge back if he gets 2 kills).<\/li>\n
- Iso now receives a Wall Penetration tag instead of a standard Heavy Penetration tag when the shield is broken. This means he\u2019s slowed less upon his shield breaking.<\/li>\n
- Additionally, Iso now gets a damage indicator towards the direction of the enemy that broke the shield<\/li>\n
- Iso can now recast Double Tap while it\u2019s active to refresh the duration of the shield.<\/li>\n
- This is relevant if he gets a refreshed charge of his Double Tap from getting 2 kills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
