Valorant Chamber to be Nerfed in Patch 5.12

Valorant Chamber to be Nerfed in Patch 5.12

Chamber has been the top go to agent in Valorant for a while now. Riot Games will be implementing a variety of adjustments in Patch 5.12 to address these issues. By dramatically reducing Chamber’s zone of influence and increasing counterplay for opponents, we hope to further define Chamber as a precision-focused Sentinel who risks his life to hold territory.

Headhunter (Q)

Updated Stability Curve
- Spread increased after 2nd bullet, when spamming. This is explicitly meant to reduce low-precision body-shot spam as an effective combat measure.

Rendezvous (E)

Chamber now places a single anchor that can be teleported to while inside its range
- Radius increased 7.5m >>> 13m
Removed teleport activation height restriction
- You can teleport to the Anchor while on different verticality so long as you are within its radius.
Increased weapon equip time after teleporting 0.4s >>> 0.7s
- Headhunter is unaffected by this change
Destroying Rendezvous teleport anchor now disables it for the remainder of the round, instead of being placed on a cooldown.
Chamber no longer incurs an additional cooldown when recalling his Anchor after teleporting.

Trademark (C)

The trap is now range restricted
- Trademark will disable when Chamber moves out of range, and reactivate once he is inside.
Can now be recalled mid-round
- Does not require line of sight
30s cooldown on recall
- Destruction remains permanent
Initial Arm Time increased 2s >> 4s
Health Increased 1 >> 20
