With things being shaken up for good, here\u2019s how the new Skye and Gekko changes will possibly impact the game\u2019s trends going forward.\u00a0 But before we discuss the changes\u2019 effects on the meta, let\u2019s take a look at the changes themselves. All Skye and Gekko changes in VALORANT Patch 7.12 As announced with the patch notes for 7.12, Skye\u2019s Trailblazer has been significantly weakened, while Gekko\u2019s Dizzy has received changes to enhance its usability. In addition, reclaiming Gekko\u2019s orbs is now a second faster than before. Here\u2019s a summary of the agent changes you\u2019ll see after downloading the patch.\u00a0 Skye Trailblazer (Q)\u00a0 Camera movement is disabled during the leap.\u00a0 When the Trailblazer is destroyed during the leap, it no longer causes a concuss explosion.\u00a0 Trailblazer plays the destruction voice line when destroyed during the leap. Trailblazer explosion now concusses allies as well as enemies.\u00a0 Gekko Dizzy (E) Once Dizzy is ready to shoot and sees a target, they will shoot faster, and the projectile will travel faster.\u00a0 Pre-fire targeting delay decreased from 0.5 seconds to 0.35 seconds. Missile speed increased from 7,000 to 10,000. Reclaim for Dizzy (E), Wingman (Q), and Thrash (X) Reduce reclaim channel time from two seconds to one second. Simply put, the patch has nerfed the most broken initiator agent while buffing her weakest peer, and it\u2019s probably the best method to fix up a particularly unbalanced role in VALORANT. How do VALORANT Patch 7.12\u2019s Skye changes affect the meta? Before Patch 7.12, Skye\u2019s incredibly flexible kit made her an unavoidable pick on most maps, especially on Bind and Breeze. To keep VALORANT balanced, picking a particular agent should have distinct disadvantages as there are advantages. In the case of Skye, the list of advantages was much longer than the little disadvantage she had. \u00a0No recon? Skye\u2019s bendable flash can tell you if there\u2019s someone in that space while flashing anyone caught it. She can heal, and she can track three of the nearest enemies with her ultimate as well. But her most broken ability had to be the Trailblazer. Scout? Check. Concuss? Check. Can clear significant space? Check. Can confuse or distract enemies? Check. In a coordinated team, Skye was nothing less than broken, bringing incredible impact despite being a support agent.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The biggest Skye nerf in VALORANT Patch 7.12 is definitely the fact that her loyal, adorable dog will no longer be able to look around after the leap is activated. Previously, this mechanic was used to clear a larger space\u2014swiftly turning in different directions to spot enemies\u2014than you normally could without leaping. Considering the hefty nerfs she has gotten in old patches coupled with those in Patch 7.12, Skye\u2019s popularity is definitely going to take a hit, especially in the esports meta. If you ask me, she\u2019s still an excellent initiator\u2014a bit weaker, but still great. That said, Sova and Fade should see a rise in pick rate going forward, considering they are the only other initiators with strong scouting abilities. How do VALORANT Patch 7.12\u2019s Gekko changes affect the meta? Gekko\u2019s got a couple of basic buffs with Patch 7.12, but these changes are more powerful than they seem.\u00a0For starters, you\u2019ll be able to pick up his orbs faster, so you won\u2019t have to think as hard before trying to reclaim them. You\u2019ll be able to have much more Dizzys, Wingmans, and Thrashes to throw around in your games. In addition, Dizzy\u2019s gotten a lot faster than before. It can focus on enemies faster than before and shoot speedier projectiles. The funny thing is that Dizzy\u2019s projectile wasn\u2019t easy to dodge in the first place. I am honestly a bit scared to be on the opposite end of a Gekko after this patch, but I\u2019m happy he\u2019s getting the love he deserves. Before VALORANT' Patch 7.12, it was considerably harder to find value with Gekko as a solo initiator on the team, not to forget how hard it is for low ranked players to learn how to use him efficiently. The latest changes enhance Gekko\u2019s usability significantly, encouraging players to pick him on most maps, even as a solo initiator, without hesitation.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Skye_Gekko_Patch7.12.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1055344"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1055344"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1055344\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1055382,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1055344\/revisions\/1055382"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1055371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1055344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1055344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1055344"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1055344"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1055344"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1055344"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1055344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
