There’s plenty to catch up on in the VALORANT Patch 11.10 notes, so take your time exploring all the updates.
The long-awaited Harbor rework headlines VALORANT patch notes 11.10, a change fans have been asking for. Clove is also receiving balance adjustments, and console players have some exciting updates to look forward to. Let’s dive in!
General updates
The VALORANT team continues to improve the overall gameplay experience with new HUD health updates. The top HUD health bar will now indicate when you or an ally is healing. During recovery, the bar shifts to teal and fills up to show healing progress. Once healing is complete, it returns to its standard white color. Other small improvements are coming to both PC and console:
- A grid layout is in, and carousel is out for PC Weapons & Buddies
- New dedicated page for equipping and viewing titles on PC
- Custom skinline backgrounds across more Collections screens, letting your favorite weapon skins shine
However, these changes will be delayed for the players in Korea until the VALORANT patch notes 11.11, following some player flow changes.
Agent updates
Harbor's rework
Harbor is the star of these patch notes due to his rework. According to Riot Games, he goal is to turn him into a more aggressive controller, with a "splash" of an initiator. The Cove is now his signature ability, helping him find more ways to block vision for his allies from afar or shield them depending on the situation.
Harbor is also receiving a new ability, Storm Surge, designed to give him more aggressive play options and help his team secure kills. His ultimate, Reckoning, has been improved as well, making it easier to set up and giving teams a safer entry onto sites. There is a lot to catch up on, so read more about Harbor's rework here.
Clove balance updates
Clove is dominating competitive queue pick rates. According to the tracker.gg, Clove is the only S-tier agent with a 10.07% pick rate and a 52.6% win rate. Clove also holds the highest kill share at 11.5%, despite not being a duelist. To prevent her from overshadowing other controllers, Riot is introducing changes aimed at reducing her snowball potential.
- Ruse charges are now restricted to 1 maximum when Clove is dead
- Overheal amount, while Pick Me Up is active, has been reduced from 100 HP to 50 HP
Omen
Spectators can now see Omen’s perspective in Dark Cover when he is placing his smokes.
Competitive queue
Starting from the VALORANT patch notes 11.10, all Ascendant or higher players in North America, Latin America, Brazil, and South Korea must enable the Riot Mobile multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access the Competitive queue. The remaining ranks are unaffected by this update.
Gameplay system updates
A follow-up to the last patch’s updates on how the “Use Object” button functions (“F” on PC and Square/X on Console by default). To simplify layered debuff states, all persistent attached debuffs will be removed at once by holding the “Use Object” button. For example, Cypher Dart and Deadlock GravNet will both be removed if they happen to be stacked on you at the same time.
Espots updates
Think the fun is over? Not a chance! The VALORANT Game Changers Championship 2025 is just around the corner, and for the first time, you can complete your Pick’Ems. Starting Nov. 13, you’ll be able to predict which teams will rise and which will fall. Nail your predictions, and you’ll earn rewards.
General bug fixes
There are quite a lot of bug fixes in the VALORANT patch notes 11.10, so take your time!

- Fixed a bug where bots in The Range would not show flash VFX when hit by screen blind effects
- Fixed a bug that caused certain abilities to apply status effects to dead players and show in the Combat Report

Abilities that cause vulnerability will not grant assists after the vulnerable effect has ended. It was also fixed an issue with the Kill effects at the sides of the screen, where they'd look misaligned when playing in left-handed mode.
Clove

- Viper’s Snakebite, Brimstone’s Incendiary, Sova’s Hunter’s Fury, and Killjoy’s Nanoswarm should properly damage Harbor’s Cove

- Fixed a bug where the killfeed wasn’t showing the proper headshot icon if KAY/O was the last player to die while NULL/cmd was active
Killjoy
- Fixed a bug where the minimap icons for Alarmbot and Turret would occasionally disappear when deactivated outside their active ranges
- Fixed inaccurate hit detection on Killjoy's Alarmbot while it is jumping
Omen

- Fixed minimap icon size for Omen’s Paranoia

Sage
- Fixed an issue where Sage’s Resurrection indicator was snapping to allies out of Sage’s POV
- Fixed a bug that caused Sage’s hands to flicker briefly when using Healing Orb on an ally
- A bug was fixed where Sage’s Slow Orb was making a popping sound when intersecting the Cosmic Divide
Veto
- Crosscut targeting should be more consistent now with other targetable usables
- Fixed a bug with Veto’s animation while recalling Interceptor

Vyse

- Yoru’s Blindside will display the correct color VFX when there are two Yoru’s in the same match

Console only updates
Replays are now live for consoles! The console players now have the opportunity to review their plays, study the match, and learn from their mistakes.
Client updates
The Lobby has been updated on consoles to make it easier to navigate to other pages while in the queue.
- You can now tab over to the Lobby like any other page, or use the shortcut button
- Custom game lobbies have been moved into the 'Select a Queue' page
- The layouts of the ‘Select a Queue’ and ‘Map’ pages have been updated
- When in queue, the active queue timer will now appear in the top left corner of the Main Menu HUD
Known Issues
Related to the client, sometimes the queue timer does not reset when disconnecting and reconnecting with the timer active. Not only that, but disconnecting and reconnecting, then queuing, can make it impossible to cancel the queue. To solve this issue, you need to restart the game!
In the custom lobbies, the lobby type changes back to Matchmaking when finishing a custom match. Party members cannot view custom game options or changes made by the party leader. “Choose a Mode” is currently displayed instead of “Choose a Queue” on the queue select screen. Riot acknowledges these problems and will take a look at them in the future.
PC only updates
Premier
You can now view Premier team information from standings, invites, and your social panel. View a team’s roster, zone, division, and current Premier score by:
- Right-clicking on any team on the Premier standings and choosing ‘View Team’
- Right-clicking on a friend on the social panel and choosing ‘View Team’
- Clicking ‘View Team’ on a Premier invite you’ve received
