VALORANT Episode Eight, Act Three officially goes live today with the launch of patch 8.08. In this final act of episode eight, two of the agents that have made the biggest impact on the current meta receive significant changes.
*NEW* Buffs, Nerfs, and Reworks Tier List Patch 9.02! – CHANGE THOSE AGENTS!
In addition to these two major agent updates, patch 8.08 also includes some long-awaited changes to Premier and a handful of bug fixes. Here’s a look at all the highlights of VALORANT patch 8.08, starting with the biggest change to the meta in a long time.
During patch 7.09, a number of Viper nerfs were accidentally introduced early, but this was just the tip of the iceberg.
These are some of the most monumental changes Viper has ever received in VALORANT. Just one Snake Bite instead of two drastically weakens her ability to play post-plant, even if the Snakebite duration gets a small buff; previously she had 11 seconds of Snakebite effect, but now it's only 6.5.
