"Valorant Patch 8.11 Brings Major Agent Buffs and Meta Shifts"

Valorant's patch 8.11 brings significant buffs to the Duelist class, with Neon receiving the most substantial changes. Her High Gear ability now allows for longer sprints and strafing at sprint speed, and her Slide ability has two charges. Riot Games dev Dan 'penguin' Hardison explained these changes aim to make Neon more competitive with other Duelists like Jett and Raze, enhancing her close-range danger and movement capabilities. The Valorant community is eager to test these updates in-game.
