General Updates in patch 11.04

Which agents changed in patch 11.04?

  • We've updated Phoenix's voice lines and added interaction lines with Vyse. Enemies and allies beware!
  • Chamber
    • Trademark
      • Range restriction has been removed. We’re giving a little bit more strategic & positional flexibility for Chamber as his trap hasn’t felt like it warrants a range restriction in modern VALORANT. This went live accidentally in patch 11.02 and we didn’t want to revert a buff that was planned for 11.04 anyways.
  • Sage
    • We’re leaning into Sage’s identity as a Controller-leaning Sentinel hybrid by allowing her to control space from further safety.
      • Buff Barrier Orb: Sage wall cast range has increased from 10m → 15m
      • Buff Resurrection: Sage resurrection range has increased from 6m → 12m
  • Sova
    • Adjustment Visual effects around Hunter's Fury have been adjusted to resolve more quickly and take up less gameplay space

Gameplay Systems Update in patch 11.04

  • Pings that are placed on the minimap have had their audio adjusted to be less harsh.
  • AOE Ultimate indicator colors on the minimap have been updated to reflect if they were cast by an ally or enemy.
    • All ally zones will now appear a consistent teal and enemy zones should now be consistently yellow. Ability icons will now only appear in the minimap zone if the ultimate is destructible.

What map changes came in patch 11.04?
