Valorant 4.08 patch notes appear early with Neon changes

pcgamesn.com:

The Valorant 4.08 patch notes have appeared online, perhaps earlier than Riot Games had intended. Fans wasted little time sharing all the details of the upcoming Fade update on Reddit after they appeared on Valorant’s Taiwanese website.

While the notes have been posted in the country’s native language, several fans have stepped in to translate what’s been provided. Reddit user Rayhacker shares that Neon is getting some changes alongside Jett and Sova. Riot is making Neon’s sliding abilities smoother to use, though the shift catching everyone’s attention is that her Fast Lane ability no longer hurts teammates. Fast Lane functions as a vision blocking manoeuvre that damages everyone aside from Neon, including your team, if you’ve been out of the loop. We’ve some amusing goofs because of that in professional play, so the changes are probably for the best.

You’ve also got the previously reported changes to Jett and Sova. Riot is tweaking Jett’s Tailwind ability to ensure that players can’t dash away from tricky situations for free. Soon, you’ll need to be more mindful of your pushes. On the other hand, Sova won’t deal as much damage when using shock darts and it looks like they will only be able to use their drone for seven seconds instead of ten. Keep in mind that these patch notes aren’t official yet, so slight values could still change.

Finally, the big addition of Valorant’s 4.08 patch is the new agent Fade. The Turkish bounty hunter is a recon agent who will vie with Sova for dominance in the meta. She can toss an orb forward to reveal enemy positions, trap enemies with that orb by detonating it, and send nightmarish beasts to chase people around each map – scary stuff.
