After dominating the meta for so long, Chamber was gutted by Riot Games. Now, he might make a comeback.
Valorant patch 6.11 will bring the heat, or so the Public Beta Environment (PBE) seems to suggest. Not only are we getting a much-needed rework of Pearl, but plenty of balance changes to Agents that desperately need them, including Chamber.
The Sentinel had dominated the meta ever since its release until constant nerfs finally made Chamber near useless, even in ranked, making fans of the character understandably upset, as Agents like Killjoy rose on the tier list.
Naturally, Chamber won't be the only Agent that receives some changes.
All Agent Changes With PBE Patch 6.11
One thing to keep in mind with this, and it's the same deal with all PBE updates: not all changes might make it to the live servers.
