When it comes to agent updates in VALORANT, Riot has a way of surprising the more level-headed community. Patch 8.11 is no different, introducing a bunch of Clove nerfs that nobody asked for.
CLOVE NERF, REYNA BUFF, NEON BUFF (Patch 8.11)
In fact, if Clove was going to get any tweaks at all, they should have been buffs. Now, many of you may rebel against my statement, saying they are overpowered and highlighting their hugely successful launch. To those people I ask, can you really “control” a VALORANT map with Clove like you can with all of their ilk?
To give an overview, VALORANT's Patch 8.11 weakens Clove's Pick-Me-Up ability and their overhyped ultimate, Not Dead Yet. Here's what changes:
Why would you weaken Pick-Me-Up? 10 seconds wasn't enough on its own. It's a selfish ability to compensate for their lack of control skills. The ultimate weakening also doesn't make sense when we still have agents like Reyna, Phoenix, and Cypher at six ultimates.
