Everything you need to know about the Vaillorant Patch 11.0 (Corrode and Agent changes)
Riot Games will present the 2025 season of the 2025 season with the Vailor Patch 11.0. This large patch comes with a heavy balance of agents, a new card, an abyss and new cosmetic articles, which adds a fun variety to relaxed and competitive games.
Updates on the main agents
The patch aims to balance the duelist and initiative agents to improve their balance in all ranks. The last agent, Waylay, receives several buffs to make it more playable. We no longer need that its saturation is cut, and the surface of its effect is increased (12 m instead of 10), as well as the speed of its activation (0.6 s instead of 1.3 s). The equipment of Lightspeed and Refracted and Aquip were shortened, which improved its kit with regard to inexperienced players, as well as its more advanced counterparts.
In the meantime, Phoenix, Neon and Reyna get a nerve. There is a new change in that the flash curve by Phoenix, which is more slowly and is therefore easier to avoid. The Neon relay bolt period has been modified to compensate for its stunning capacity. Reyna’s HP has also been reduced, and its Leer has more visual clues to better counter it.
The objective of variation in utility among agents is equity and clarity. The sound of the drone and the SOVA recognition bolt is less detectable, Omen’s smoke is less exposed to nearby enemies, and the ultimate capacity of Killjoy takes less time. Cypher’s Spycam also receives an update of quality of life by increasing its visibility.
New valorant card: Corrode
The best thing about Patch 11.0 is the new competitive card, Corrode. Corrode is located in a deserted coastal building with its own vertical fights and dense areas in the middle of the control. He turns into the classified pool, replacing the pearl and divided, while Bind was brought back. The incidence of RR lost by players classified during the first week of Corrode will be lower to allow them to adapt more easily.
