Viper\u2019s entire kit took a huge hit in the latest VALORANT<\/em> patch 8.08 in late April, and now players are asking Riot Games to make one more change to help the toxic agent bounce back.<\/p>
Nearly every ability in Viper\u2019s kit suffered a nerf outside of her ultimate<\/a> in VALORANT<\/em>\u2019s Patch 8.08<\/a>, to the point where players were mourning<\/a> the agent’s status in the meta. One of the biggest changes is that Viper can no longer pick up her Poison Cloud orb during the round. Previously, she could pick up and reposition her orb later in the round, but now she can only move it around during the buy round. This gives her less flexibility and cover to work with, especially since her Toxic Screen wall cannot be moved either.<\/p>

VALORANT <\/em>players suggested one necessary change they’d like to see added to Viper in a May 4 post on the game’s subreddit<\/a>, pointing out how Viper can preview the exact orb placement in custom games with cheats on. They\u2019d love for Riot to implement this as a real feature for her Poison Cloud orb, with many players agreeing<\/a> this would be a fair quality-of-life change without boosting her in the pro scene, since pros should already have tons of Viper lineups up their sleeves.<\/p>
