The VALORANT<\/strong> <\/a>developers have provided more insight on the upcoming Jett<\/strong> nerf and explained how it was the best way to adjust the agent without completely removing her from the meta.<\/p>\n

Valorant Agent Jett<\/h2>\n

Sunwoo Han hails from South Korea, with possible links to the Insa-dong neighborhood in Seoul. As a chef in her early life, she was involved in an incident relating to her wind-like radiant powers at the restaurant she worked at, causing a “freak storm” that all but destroyed the building. Sunwoo fled the scene soon after.<\/p>\n

Later on, Sunwoo would be recruited by the VALORANT<\/strong> Protocol to become its tenth agent, “Jett<\/strong>“. Whilst working for the Protocol however, an incident occurred in Venice that destroyed part of the city. When authorities issued warrants for the arrests of the perpetrators, one of them was revealed to look exactly identical to Jett<\/strong>. Though Jett<\/strong> herself had nothing to do with the mission, the rest of the world now believed that she was now a threat to them. She couldn’t explain that it wasn’t her to those she know outside of VALORANT<\/strong>, unable to even understand what was going on herself, and it left them feeling disgusted, horrified, and ashamed at her, forcing her to go on the run once more.<\/p>\n

Jett<\/strong> is a fair-skinned, short young woman, being the smallest of the VALORANT agents<\/strong> prior to Neon’s addition. She has white hair, which she ties in a bun on the back. Her bangs are rather long and remain stably locked. Her eyes are a shade of blue, and she looks like she wears eyeliner. Jett’s armor<\/strong> has multiple symbols associated with wind such as the swirl on her right shoulder pad. Her blue, sleeveless jacket features a stylized depiction of the Tailwind logo through some clouds.<\/p>\n

In an upcoming Valorant patch<\/strong>, the character Jett<\/strong> will be receiving some major nerfs to address issues some players have been facing.<\/p>\n

With the introduction of patch 4.08, Jett\u2019s dash<\/strong> (called Tailwind) will only work after a short delay once the ability key is pressed. Following that, Jett will activate a 12 second window where she is empowered to immediately dash on the next button press. The Tailwind charge is lost whether she dashes, or the window expires, but it can be regained with two kills.<\/p>\n

Riot Games<\/strong> has identified a number of issues that currently come from Jett\u2019s dash. One of the issues is that the dash had no prerequisite, meaning she could also escape power with no intentional decision making.<\/p>\n

In turn, no other Valorant agent<\/strong> could match this play pattern. This made Jett<\/strong> feel like she played outside of the tactical cycle every other agent adheres to. So part of the plan for Jett<\/strong> is for her to retain as much aggressive power on offense as possible, but reduce her defensive op power.<\/p>\n

In a press release, Riot explained why it took this approach to Jett with this latest patch. \u201cOften when we nerf an Agent, we get questions on why we couldn\u2019t just buff the rest of the roster,\u201d explains Riot.<\/p>\n

Riot went on to explain that buffing other agents could avoid some pain in the short term, \u201cbut jeopardises the tactical promise we think is key to Valorant<\/strong>.\u201d The developer hopes that these changes for Jett \u201cprovide a window where Jett can feel as powerful and reactive, prior to the changes, when she calls her shots correctly.\u201d A release date for patch 4.08 is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n
