In the blog post, the developers talked about their plans for updates they want to make in future patches. The developers, who said that they would approach their future competitive environment improvements and agent updates plans more aggressively, stated that they aimed to keep a valuable agent like Viper apart from other agents and wanted to make their characteristics more dominant. This was implemented with Valorant 's 2.06 patch and some changes were made to the Viper . Likewise, significant improvements have been made for Yoru and Killjoy . Valorant in the rest of the articlecharacter producer John Goscickis said:
With the 2.06 patch, we will be taking a more aggressive path in our updates, thus making a greater impact on each and every one of our agents. Because we know it's annoying to see the name of the agent you play in a patch note over and over but not feel any difference.
It can be said that balancing in a tactical FPS game, especially in a game that appeals to a very large audience, is quite difficult. For this reason, developers work very meticulously and carefully on the subject. When it comes to agents and their abilities, even the slightest balancing error can have a huge impact on the course of the competitive landscape. The developers are right to be cautious, as these changes will have a high impact on the professional arena as well as maintaining the competitive environment of the game. In fact, by referring to this issue in his last blog post, Goscicki expressed the situation with the following words;
Although we want to implement agent updates as soon as possible, it is very important for us not to disturb the balance of esports. We don't want to suddenly change the game meta that pro players are used to during big events like Masters and Champions.
Although the developers will say that we will take an aggressive approach, we think that the underlying meaning is different. They may be thinking of influencing standard-level games with these updates, which are described as aggressive, but we can easily say that they will be very cautious about the game's impact on the game at professional level. In this way, the most important professional area of the game will be preserved.
