Skye finds herself on the receiving end of another major buff in the VALORANT 7.12 update.
Riot Games have released the VALORANT patch 7.12 which features major changes to the agents Skye and Gekko as well as few minor performance updates. Here you will find a brief explanation of all of the latest changes implemented in the VALORANT 7.12 update:
Agent Changes
Skye:
It is another rough time for Skye mains in VALORANT as Riot Games have once again seen fit to make some big changes to her abilities. This time in the form of her Trailblazer ability. According to the patch notes published on theplayValorantwebsite, the developers made these changes in order to force players to “be more deliberate when using the Trailblazer.” Though this change means you will have to be more precise with the Trailblazer’s movement, the added drawback of using it could lead to a decrease in Skye’s pick rate. But hey, at least it isn’t all doom and gloom in this latest patch.
Gekko:
While this latest update has proven to be a downer for Skye mains, it has been a godsend for Gekko mains. With the Gekko now able to recover his trusty creatures much quicker than before, it means that there will more chances for players to make use of his utility during rounds. And with Dizzy’s targeting being dialed up a notch, Gekko players will also be able to provide greater value in terms of his reconnaissance capabilites.
