How will the meta shift with the addition of the new sentinel?
Valorant is a five versus five tactical shooter game, which is popular and getting more popular all the time. The attraction of games like this and this game in particular is that players experience competition on a global stage, with 13 rounds of attack and defense strategies. Teams must work together, use strategy and collaborate to beat their enemies. There are also special modes like Deathmatch and Spike Rush. Games must be constantly improved or they will begin to look stale and get boring for players.
With the addition of Patch 3.10, a new character named Chamber makes his official VALORANT debut. On October 29, French weapons designer was revealed with an array of game changing abilities and, according to professional superstar Tenz, he Tweeted, “this shit is crazy.” Chamber has some abilities that are similar to agents like Killjoy and Cypher, mainly his trademark which places a trap that scans for enemies and destabilizes the terrain around them when someone is in its range. However, he is more about mechanical outplays with an addition of gunplay.
His Headhunter equips a pistol, and his ultimate, tour de force, summons a powerful sniper rifle that has the ability to one shot an enemy with a single direct hit. He is a hybrid of Jett, Yoru, and Kay/O- an incredible mix of the agents. This is going to be a popular choice for fans of the game.
Patch 3.10 reintroduces the ability for players of all ranks to five stack in competitive, eliminating the need for players to use a smurf account to queue up with friends. However, that comes with rr (ranked rating) adjustments. These changes are based on the highest-ranked player in a five stack, and they increase or decrease based on the parties’ ranked discrepancy. Four stacks have been removed from the competitive queue for good, as they led to relatively poor experiences for a solo player.
Riot has confirmed it will oversee these changes over the next few weeks in order to make adjustments where it’s seen as necessary. This will make a big difference in game play and will improve the experience.
