It also creates some moments of downtime when Harbor and Viper cycle their walls.\u201d Riot said.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chamber, on the other hand, was in dire need of a buff to fix his poor pick rate on the ranked ladder and in the professional scene. Once an unrivaled sentinel agent, the Frenchman\u2019s state toppled after Riot nerfed him to the ground in Patch 5.12 last year. \u201cAt the time, we reduced Chamber\u2019s sphere of influence significantly,\u201d Riot said.\u00a0 Related: Here are the VALORANT Patch 6.11 patch notes\u00a0\u00a0 Well, the charming weapons designer is finally receiving an encouraging update in Patch 6.11, although his most sentinel-like feature\u2014Trademark\u2014still remains restricted to one charge only.\u00a0 Here\u2019re the Chamber changes in Patch 6.11:\u00a0 Rendezvous (E) Reduced weapon equip time after post-teleport lockout 0.7 seconds >>> zero seconds Trademark (C) Disable range 4,000 >>> 5,000 Trap arm speed four seconds >>> two seconds Tour De Force (X) Firing rate increased by 15 percent \u201cWe\u2019re looking to put more power into his ability to lurk, and give him more flexibility within his setups,\u201d Riot said, justifying the buff.\u00a0 While these changes are now live in VALORANT\u2019s global version, Riot will keep a close eye on how these tweaks pan out and affect the meta. \u201cAs always, we will be watching how these changes play out in the coming months and evaluating if any further changes are needed,\u201d Riot said.\u00a0 In addition to huge agent updates, Riot has laid out multiple, unexpected tone-downs to a significant part of the weaponry and the error power, affecting popular guns like the Vandal, Phantom, Shorty, and Frenzy, and possibly dislodging the run-and-gun meta. Needless to say, VALORANT's Patch 6.11 is here to make the season\u2019s biggest waves.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Val_Banner_EP6_ACT3_Chamber_Viper_16x9.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883009"}],"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=883009"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883009\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":883106,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883009\/revisions\/883106"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/883015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883009"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=883009"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=883009"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=883009"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=883009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
