VALORANT Patch 11.10: Massive Harbor Rework, Clove Nerfs, UI Upgrades & Console Replays!

Riot Games has officially rolled out Patch 11.10 for VALORANT, bringing one of the most substantial updates in recent months. 💥 This patch delivers a complete Harbor rework, key agent balance adjustments, major user interface upgrades, and several long-awaited competitive and console improvements.

Players can now enjoy Pick’ems for Game Changers, full Replay System support on consoles, and a refreshed gameplay experience across all platforms.

🌊 Harbor Reimagined: A Full Ability Overhaul

The highlight of Patch 11.10 is a total rework of Harbor, transforming him into a more aggressive controller with initiator-style elements. His entire kit has been redesigned, repositioned, and optimized for high-impact team play.

🔹 New Harbor Kit Overview:

• Cove (Signature Ability): Now repositioned as Harbor’s main skill, allowing for precise placement of a water smoke that can be activated into a bullet-blocking shield.
• High Tide: Moved to a purchasable ability priced at 300 credits.
• Storm Surge (New Ability): Creates a powerful vortex that blinds and slows nearby enemies — perfect for site entries or retakes.
• Reckoning (Ultimate): Features new visuals, animations, and a refined impact zone, increasing its efficiency in clearing large areas.

Harbor’s update also includes fresh voice lines and unique map interactions — with new dialogues involving Tejo, Waylay, and contextual phrases for the Abyss and Corrode maps.

⚖️ Agent Adjustments: Clove, Omen, and More

Patch 11.10 brings significant rebalancing for Clove, whose dominance in competitive play has been drawing attention.

Clove Changes:

• Ruse: Now has only 1 charge when the agent is dead.
• Pick Me Up:Healing reduced from 100 → 50 HP.

Additional Fixes & Updates:

• Spectators now view Omen’s perspective when using Dark Cover.
• Multiple bug fixes applied to Cypher, Sage, Killjoy, Yoru, Viper, Clove, and other agents to enhance overall consistency.

🖥️ Interface & System Enhancements

Riot’s HUD and systems teams introduced a wave of quality-of-life improvements to streamline the player experience.

UI Updates:

• Healing Indicator: Displays real-time health recovery for you and allies.
• Collections Overhaul: Weapon, charm, and title pages now use a grid-based layout instead of a carousel.
• Console Replay System: Fully implemented, enabling console players to review matches and analyze gameplay like PC users.

🏆 Competitive Integrity & MFA Requirement

Starting with Patch 11.10, players ranked Ascendant or higher in NA, LATAM, BR, and KR regions must now enable Riot Mobile Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to participate in competitive mode.

This move aims to enhance account security, reduce boosting, and prevent account sharing — ensuring a fairer competitive environment.

🎮 Esports Update: Game Changers Pick’ems Arrive

Fans of VALORANT Esports can now take part in Pick’ems for Game Changers, launching November 13.

Players can submit match predictions for the double-elimination format, accessible both in-game and on Riot’s official site, with exclusive rewards for accurate picks. 🏅

🧩 General Fixes & Improvements

• Spike placement issues outside designated plant zones.
• Agent animation errors and incorrect visual effects for Clove, Yoru, and Sage.
• Minor minimap and HUD display inaccuracies.
• Fixes for Killjoy’s Alarmbot, Cypher’s Neural Theft, and Reyna’s Leer.
