Riot Games has officially confirmed that Valorant will be seeing some highly-requested changes in the coming months, including both nerfs to a dominant character and the long-awaited replay system. The tactical shooter from Riot Games has grown into one of the League of Legends developer's most popular games since its launch in 2020, with millions of active players. The game has introduced a plethora of new Agents to the playable roster, with nearly 30 different characters for players to choose from. Now, the popular shooter is receiving some big changes in the near future.

While Valorant has added a variety of different characters, one of the game's newest roster members also serves as one of its strongest. Tejo's debut took Valorant by storm with the Agent quickly becoming one of the game's most powerful picks, owed to his exceptional ability to manipulate enemy positioning. Tejo has seen plenty of players clamoring for the Agent to receive nerfs, with his onslaught of explosives helping him to also be effective as an Attacker after planting the bomb. Riot Games is now reportedly looking to address Tejo's power soon, alongside a highly-requested new feature.

Valorant Teases Tejo Nerfs and Replay System

The addition of a replay system to Valorant comes as one of the biggest requests from fans throughout the life of the tactical shooter. Rumors have long hinted at Riot considering a replay system for Valorant, with League of Legends already boasting a robust replay system for players to utilize. Replays have been a particularly notable request from higher-ranking players, with replays serving as a vital resource to allow players to review their gameplay and find mistakes.

Valorant's big changes come as Riot Games recently made a major change to its executive staff. The studio officially announced it had named former Logitech executive Hoby Darling as the newest company president for Riot Games, looking to close the book on a controversial period. Riot Games incited significant backlash from League of Legends fans last year with the removal of Hextech Chests, which would later be re-added after fan complaints. New changes on the way should spell some exciting updates throughout the coming months for Valorant fans.
