Valorant Patch 1.11, Skye Coming, Breach Buff Again, Killjoy & Cypher on Nerf

Valorant developer, Riot Games has implemented a system where they will always present a new patch update every 2 weeks.

This time exactly 14 days after patch 1.10 arrived, we have received patch notes for patch 1.11!

This patch is quite significant because we will see some new things and also changes to agents in this game.

Skye, an Australian agent that Riot has showcased several times in the ACT 3 update trailer, is now available on the server.

Skye’s arrival was delayed because Riot wanted to prioritize the release of Icebox’s newest Valorant map in patch 1.10.

The snowy map that was previously only available in Deathmatch, Spike Rush and Unrated mode is now available in competitive mode too!

In addition, there will be some adjustments to the agents in this FPS game.

Breach will again receive a buff, while Cypher and Killjoy (2nd best defense agent in Valorant) will receive significant nerf.

For details, below are the official Valorant 1.11 patch notes

Patch Notes 1.11

AGENT UPDATE

SKYE joins the ranks of VALORANT agents!

Skye, like all new Agents from now on, will be usable in official e-sport competitions (e.g., First Strike) after being two weeks in the Competitive queue

Breach

Flash Adjustment: The flash debuff fades remain the same duration, but now fades slower in the beginning
Full flash time increase from 1.75 >>> 2

Cypher

Trapwire & Spy Camera

Deactivated and revealed after character dies

Killjoy

Deactivation Range

Alarmbot and Turret now deactivate if he is more than 40 m from them—returning to 40 m range will reactivate both.

Turret

Cooldown decrease after taking from 20 seconds >>> 10 seconds

Alarmbot

Alarmbot detection range reduction from 9 m >>> 7 m
Cooldown decrease after taking from 20 seconds >>> 7 seconds

Nanoswarm

Reduction of Nanoswarm detection range from 5 m >>> 3.5 m
Increased damage from 40/s >>> 45/s

COMPETITIVE MODE UPDATE

Icebox enters Competitive map rotation
- Icebox, like all new maps from now on, will be usable in official e-sport competitions (e.g. First Strike) after four weeks in the Competitive queue
Shorter Unranked queue times for the highest ranked players
- We took steps to address an issue for elite players experiencing long queue times for Unrated mode. We are also looking for solutions to reduce long queue times for all major modes.
Added current gamepod location to loading screen for all modes
Adjusted Kombat Score to account for non-destructive aid

GAME MODE UPDATE

The “Play All Rounds” option is now available in the custom game lobby option

Keep Playing All Rounds makes it easy to play practice sessions. When activated, the match no longer ends when a team achieves 13 wins; otherwise, the match will continue until both teams have each played half of the 12 innings. After 24 rounds, the team that wins more rounds wins. If a tie, the game will continue with extra time.

GAME SYSTEM

Update on Economic Rules

Attackers who lose, but survive throughout the round without placing Spike receive fewer credits (1,000)

Lost defense, but survives the entire round after Spike explodes also receives less credit (1,000)

Dying because of Spike no longer counts as a death in KDA stats.

Additional economic information is added as a caption when hovering over the exclamation mark next to “Next Round Min” in the shop

Other Changes

Minor fixes to the observer flash indicator
New setting for observers: ‘Show Player’s Key Bind on Map’
New Custom Game Option: ‘Play All Rounds’
- Both teams play all 12 innings on offense and defense, followed by extra time/end of game (if applicable)

GAME PERFORMANCE

The left-handed display model can now be used by players. Players can switch their first-person view mode to left-handed by going to the settings menu and switching their viewing mode to “left-handed”. Changing this setting will also display all other players as left-handed when they are observers.

Now you can send direct messages by clicking on a friend’s name in the chat without having to type their name

Players who AFK or alt-tab for more than 5 minutes will now be shown as ‘Out of place’ in the Social Panel

[BETA] Experimental Sharpening

These graphic settings were accidentally applied in the last patch, and we will be removing them, but you guys actually asked us to defend it. So, those settings are still there, but with some defaults already set. We don’t know when we will optimize the performance, or adjust it further, so consider this an ongoing Beta.

BUGS FIX

Fixed one source of combat glitches reported by players

We’re continuing to investigate the combat glitches players reported in the recent patch. This patch includes a fix for one of the most common glitches we’ve seen during combat. While we hope this action resolves the issue for most players, we’re still actively tracking other glitches we’ve seen in your videos.

Jett now can’t run on a rope

Fixed a bug that caused incoming Group invites to remain active in the Social Panel even after being rejected

Players no longer see spike locations when reconnecting to the game

Fixed an issue where player corpses could cause collision problems

Sage’s wall segment no longer collapses if players die on it

Fixed a bug that disabled queuing for any mode if the player closed the client during the Found Match countdown.

Fixed a bug showing the Stage Rank badge on the MVP screen outside of the Competitive Queue.
