Riot Games introduces new Valorant agent Hush

Riot Games has released patch 13.09 for Valorant, officially introducing Hush, a telekinetic Duelist from Guangdong, China. As the ninth Duelist in the game, Hush possesses abilities to manipulate objects remotely, shift enemy positions, and lift opponents into the air.

The update also implements significant changes to how buff abilities function, categorizing them into ‘Haste’ (movement speed increases) and ‘Snapshot’ (utility-based buffs like Cypher’s Spycam). This change affects several agents, including Brimstone, Clove, Miks, Neon, and Waylay.

Additionally, adjustments have been made to Clove and Jett. Clove’s ‘Pick-me-up’ movement speed bonus has been reduced from 15% to 10%, and passive abilities for both agents have been moved out of the buy menu to align with other non-purchasable passives.
