Jett, the beloved and powerful agent in VALORANT, is set to receive a significant nerf in the upcoming Patch 7.04. This update is expected to dethrone Jett from her position of dominance, leaving the community speculating about her future viability.
Since the game’s launch in 2020, Jett has been a force to be reckoned with, both in casual play and professional matches. Despite previous attempts by Riot Games to balance her, she has remained a top pick among players, including renowned professionals like Demon1, keznit, and something.
What sets Jett apart is her ability to swiftly reposition and secure multiple kills, making her a formidable duelist. However, after the implementation of Patch 7.04, this will become significantly more challenging.
| Tailwind (E) | Dash window decreased from 12 seconds to 7.5 seconds | Activation windup increased from 0.75 seconds to one second |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudburst (C) | Duration decreased from 4.5 seconds to 2.5 seconds | Time to re-equip gun takes slightly longer after using the ability |
| Updraft (Q) | Charges decreased from two to one | |
| Blade Storm (X) | Ultimate points increased from seven to eight |
The impending nerfs to Jett have already sparked numerous memes within the VALORANT community, and many players believe that she will no longer be as viable as before.
While it may be premature to mourn or celebrate the fate of Jett in VALORANT, considering her resilience in the face of previous changes, it is difficult to envision her retaining the same level of strength after these nerfs. Players will undoubtedly need to adapt their playstyle when using Jett.
It is important to remember that meta changes are necessary to maintain a healthy game environment, both for casual players and professionals. This time, Jett, Skye, and Sova will be affected by the nerf hammer, but every agent will eventually undergo adjustments.
