Valorant?s first patch may include a Raze nerf, according to Riot

“So it’s definitely more impactful and more obvious when balance is off with someone like Raze.”Even though this damage makes Raze a little more frustrating when she’s overpowered, it does make it easier to balance her.“As far as things to change with her, I think in the same way that it’s more obvious when she’s overpowered, it’s a bit more obvious what tuning levers make sense when balancing a character like that,” Romleski said.In other words, the balance team can take damage out of some of Raze’s most offensive abilities, whereas a character like Cypher, who doesn’t have much damage in his kit, requires more specific changes. Similarly, he thinks that while Raze definitely needs some changes, players will also get better over time at understanding how to avoid her highest-damage abilities.As for the rest of the changes that will be coming to Valorant, and what nerfs and buffs each character will actually get, we’ll have to wait for the patch to actually be released sometime in the near future.
