Jett to Receive Significant Nerfs in VALORANT Patch 7.04
Jett, a highly popular and powerful agent in VALORANT, is set to be nerfed in the upcoming Patch 7.04. This update has the community speculating that Jett’s dominance will come to an end.
Jett has been a crucial duelist in VALORANT since its launch in 2020. Despite previous nerfs from Riot Games, she has remained a strong pick for both casual and professional play. Top-rated pros such as Max “Demon1” Mazanov, Angelo “keznit” Mori, and Ilya “something” Petrov frequently choose Jett as their agent of choice.
What sets Jett apart is her ability for skilled VALORANT players to exploit her kit to quickly reposition and secure multiple kills. However, this will become more challenging after the release of Patch 7.04.
Nerfs to Jett’s Abilities
- Tailwind (E)
- Decreased dash window from 12 seconds to 7.5 seconds
- Increased activation windup from 0.75 seconds to one second
- Cloudburst (C)
- Reduced duration from 4.5 seconds to 2.5 seconds
- Slightly longer time to re-equip gun after using the ability
- Updraft (Q)
- Decreased charges from two to one
- Blade Storm (X)
- Increased ultimate points required from seven to eight
The imminent nerfs to Jett have already sparked numerous memes within the VALORANT community, with many players believing that the duelist will no longer be as viable as before.
While it may be too early to mourn or celebrate the impending nerfs to Jett in VALORANT, as the duelist has remained viable despite previous changes, it is difficult to envision Jett maintaining the same level of strength after the nerfs. Players will undoubtedly need to adjust their playstyle when using Jett.
For any VALORANT player feeling personally affected by the changes in Patch 7.04, it is important to remember that meta changes are necessary to ensure the game’s health at both casual and professional levels. This time, the nerf hammer will impact Jett, Skye, and Sova, but every agent will eventually face nerfs.
