Shorty, Frenzy dominance might be over with early VALORANT Patch 6.11 nerfs

The meta in VALORANT can fluctuate for several reasons: a new map or agent comes into the pool, professional players discover a new tactic, or, in this case, Riot releases a new balance patch.

The recent meta has been dominated by agents and weapons that excel at taking close-range engagements. The most popular pistols for the last few months have been the Shorty and Frenzy, both a great deal for the value they can provide in a pistol or save round.
