Valorant Patch 6.08 is here with some major changes to the map pool and Killjoy's abilities.

A new episode always brings a big shift to Valorant, and Patch 6.08 is no exception. Icebox is now gone from the Competitive rotation, replaced with a newly improved Bind. Killjoy's Nanoswarm was also nerfed to give opposing players more information and a better chance against the popular Sentinel.

Here's a breakdown of all the changes coming with the latest patch, per Riot Games.
