In this article, I will bring information related to agent Viper in the upcoming VALRANT 8.08 update.
Recently, Riot Games has just brought many notable improvements to VALORANT through update 8.08. They adjusted the strengths of many agents and encouraged players to focus more on shooting skills.
However, it seems that the developers have gone too far in adjusting, making some already weak agents more pathetic. Viper is a prominent name as most of her skills have been significantly reduced in power, causing harsh reactions from the gaming community.
One of the biggest changes is that Viper can no longer pick up her Chemical Orb, making her less mobile in helping teammates take positions.
Some VALORANT fans on Reddit suggested to Riot a new idea of adding an indicator to Viper's Q skill – Chemical Bridge. This will make it easier for players to set up at the beginning of the match, while avoiding losing skills if they throw errors.
Additionally, the E skill has also been nerfed, with the Chemical Trap limit reduced to 1 and the purchase price increased. This has reduced the effectiveness of eagle-eyed tactics and complex lineups.
After a week of experiencing update 8.08, you can clearly see the absence of Viper in ranked matches, replaced by more appearances of Omen and Clove, the newest agents in the game.
