New nerf to Killjoy in VALORANT patch 6.08

Killjoy, the most popular VALORANT agent, will receive a new nerf with the arrival of patch 6.08, so players who have their favoritism very well marked should prepare for what is coming.

There is no doubt that Killjoy is the VALORANT agent with the most love and hate in the community, as there is no middle ground. However, as we mentioned, he is one of the most popular agents thanks to her abilities, besides being very powerful, which are relatively easy to learn and manage.

However, this agent is not only popular in the casual VALORANT community. If we look at the selection statistics in the VCT EMEA League, we can see that he is chosen in most matches. That’s why Riot has given him a nerf to take some importance away from him.

Killjoy will receive a nerf in VALORANT patch 6.08

Riot Games has decided to make a new nerf for Killjoy in VALORANT patch 6.08, released next April 25. The Twitter account reveals all this information, Valorant Updates.

As we can see, this patch, which arrives in conjunction with Act 3 Episode 6, Killjoy’s Nanoswarm, will receive an important nerf.

According to all the information released in the last few hours, this patch, which will arrive on April 25, will make Killjoy’s Nanoswarm less useful in games. As a result, this could cause the popularity of this agent to decrease a bit, as Nanoswarm is the skill most used by players with Killjoy.

In addition to the nerfs to Killjoy, the patch will also bring some modifications to Gekko, and the most important change is the return of Bind to the official Map Pool and the departure of Icebox.

Killjoy’s Nanoswarm Nerf – Details

According to what Valorant Updates publishes on its Twitter account, Killjoy’s Nanoswarm will be less powerful. However, the reveal radius of the Nanoswarm will increase from 350 to 525, and the audio that enemies hear when destroying it will be much better. In addition, all players in the lobby will be able to know when the ability is disabled.

While it is true that many may think that these details are too small to damage the agent’s popularity, there is no doubt that, according to many people in the community, this is a rather big nerf to a very popular agent in the game.

Finally, and as we mentioned, this patch will bring the return of one of the iconic maps of the game, Bind, which enters the rotation for Icebox. This is, without a doubt, one of the updates the community has been asking for the longest time.

For this to happen, there will only be three days left from when this article is written. In the meantime, the only thing we can do in our sweet/bitter wait regarding the arrival of VALORANT patch 6.08 is enjoying Killjoy before her nerf.
