Chamber, one of the most dominant agents in VALORANT<\/em>, is about to get hit with a series of nerfs. In Patch 5.12, the developers want to find a balance between keeping Chamber’s “identity” and maintaining VALORANT’s <\/em>“health.”<\/p>
He was released in November 2021 and was one of the agents who defined the VALORANT <\/em>meta in 2022. Riot Games nerfed Chamber in early August<\/a> after pro players mastered the French agent’s kit, but those nerfs weren’t enough to balance Chamber, who has been oppressive to other agents. <\/p>
“The team discussed and tested a number of ways to balance Chamber,” VALORANT’s<\/em> agent designer Kevin Meier said in a blog post<\/a> today. “The more we iterated the more it was apparent that his current mechanics were shaping play space in an unhealthy way, infringing on other agent identities, and breaking VALORANT’s<\/em> core tactical cycle.”<\/p>
