Valorant 1.0: the news after the official release of the game

After the short period of Closed beta, accessible only via drop within Twitch streams, was finally released this morning Valuing. A real bet for Riot Games who, after more than ten years of success for League of Legends, wanted to take a risk by releasing several new titles. In this case we are talking about a shooter on the notes of Overwatch and Counter Strike - Global Offensive. There have been many changes made for this official release. Let's analyze all the news that you will find in the game:

Nerf and Buff to 5 champions

It was obvious that some character would get a balancing. In particular we are talking about the healer par excellence Legend. In fact, there were many complaints from players due to too much influence on the game due to its spells. Loading times have been increased - from 35 to 45 seconds - for its Crystal of healing. In addition, its Frozen wall will have a lower duration and resistance - 40 to 30 seconds, and 1000 to 800 life points -.

A little nerf to rays, who will see the radius of his Explosive package reduced from two to one meter. It had in fact proved too effective, especially if used in succession. There Riot so he hopes to reduce not only maximum damage, but also average damage.

For Jett, the duration of his Cloud of smoke was almost doubled - from 4 to 7 seconds - to be more useful to the whole team. Moreover, from today it will be possible for her to escape from the traps of Cypher using its spell Gust.

Phoenix has received several buffs, both in terms of the duration of the Wall of flames - increased from 6 to 8 seconds - that for the ability to heal within it. The time / care ratio of the spell Burning hands. A small change has been made to the duration of the Dazzling dart, which will now be 1.1 seconds, also from today to the end of its last Ashes of the phoenix, the weapons will come reload automatically.

The spirit of the shadows Omen now he can equip the spell Paranoiainstead of launching it automatically. While using Veiled step, will be carried in a dark world which will allow him to see through walls to launch his smoke bomb - which will be controlled with the use of mouse buttons (primary fire to remove it and secondary fire to bring it closer) and launched with the skill button. Furthermore, Omen will be able to cancel his teleport while in shadow form (losing all his points), using the skill key again. This will allow the ghost not to necessarily die in case an enemy is in front of it.

New map: Ascent and modification of Split

The new map. Some leaks had already announced the presence of a map set in Venezia, but had never been confirmed by Riot. His name will not be Venice (as anticipated by the rumors) but the origin will be that. Ascent is set in Italy and has a open space which will allow players to make the most of their skills. During this first period, it will appear with higher frequency to the players of Valuing, to give him the opportunity to acclimatize properly.

For Split, its modification will be substantial especially in the backcourt. In fact, the wall that covered the MID connecting area between A and B's window was removed, creating an open space. According to the developers, this will give players the opportunity to implement more strategies.

New champion: Reyna

Despite the unconfirmed rumors of a champion named Sabine, it was Queen to enter the world of Valuing. Of Mexican origin, she was presented via a trailer showing all her skills.

• The first is about one blinding spell (similar to the Phoenix Dart). Queen it creates a sphere capable of blinding anyone within its range.
• The second skill allows her to regenerate gathering souls left by opposing corpses.
• The third allows it to become temporarily invulnerable, again through the use of spheres of the soul. 
• Its latest, the increases rate of fire e the use of skills, also decreases the spell reload time.

In addition to the more noticeable changes we have shown you, a significant amount of bugs have been fixed (especially regarding the absurd places to place Cypher's camera). We remind you that from today 2 June 2020, Valuing it is downloadable from the official website and available for everyone.
