Neon nerfs are finally coming to VALORANT, but at what cost?

Once a neglected VALORANT agent, Neon was heavily buffed in Patch 8.11. The changes were too much, with her wreaking havoc in the meta. But now that Riot Games has put on its thinking cap to bring “adjustments,” fans are worried—and for good reason.

Addressing community-wide concerns about Neon’s overpowered state, VALORANT game designer penguin announced on X (formerly Twitter) the dev team’s ongoing efforts to clip the Filipino’s wings. “For what it’s worth – we agree that Neon is too strong as well,” he said. This alone sounds scary if you’re a Neon main and have played her a lot in the past few months. And if you’re aware of how Riot usually nerfs its characters, you’re probably looking for another agent to main already.
