The release of Valorant’s PBE patch notes for version 7.09 has generated considerable anticipation among players for the forthcoming official update next week.
As per Valorant Patch 7.09, the primary focal point of this upcoming release is a substantial set of nerfs targeting Raze, which will introduce adjustments to her Paint Shells (E) and Blast Pack (Q), demanding greater precision from players when employing her abilities to inflict damage on their adversaries.
Conversely, Cypher is set to receive substantial attention in this patch. As a Sentinel agent with one of the lowest pick rates in both professional and regular matchmaking, the buffs to his Trapwire (C) are expected to bolster his popularity and participation.
Furthermore, Valorant patch 7.09 will include a series of modifications to the agent Fade, with specific updates affecting the performance of the Judge.
