After finishing the VALORANT Champions 2022 in Istanbul, Turkey. As a result, the developers of games like Riot Games get enough data on what they should do to make the VALORANT game as balanced as possible..
Especially in regards to various VALORANT character agents because in VALORANT Champions 2022 there is one agent that stands out from the crowd and has the highest percentage of being used even when it was just nerfed. That is Chamber, a young Frenchman, dragging his sharp head, beloved by Thai players, with Chamber being used in the competition up to 67% (see every match).
But what’s even more sad is that VALORANT character agents, Sentinels, like Chambers, have a low percentage of being picked up. Second place, Sage, had only 22% of the percentage being picked (plus the role-to-game difference was drastically different), while third place Kiljoy had a 16% pick-up percentage and culminated in a hat-tossed guy. Like Cypher, it hurts my heart as Cypher has only been picked up 7 times in this tournament throughout the tournament.
Causing Riot Games to decide once again to nerf the Chamber’s abilities because it seems that nerfing the Chamber before will not affect it much at all. Most of the time, chambers aren’t picked up for 100% defense like Killjoy or Cypher, but their advantage is that it’s an agent that can quickly move its own position from Rendezvous and There’s a very good game-changing ultimate during the Eco Round, like Tour de Force.
As for the chamber nerf details in VALORANT 5.05, Riot Games hasn’t revealed exactly where the nerfs will go in which direction. But from the words of Dev from Riot Game that said..
“This chamber nerf will require players to make more informed decisions about which to play. Especially when choosing a chamber as an agent standing in the front line, which is against playing the Sentinel position.”
From guessing that the Chamber would be able to reduce the ability of a flashing skill like Rendezvous down because this skill will make those who play Chamber have the courage to be mad, brave Peak dares to lead a friend because it can be good. Teleport fingers back. But in the end, we have to wait and see in VALORANT 5.05 that this chamber nerf of Riot Games will affect how much it affects. Because to be honest, the previous nerf didn’t reduce its skill at all ..
