VALORANT players split between mourning and celebrating Skye’s nerfs in Patch 8.01

There’s no middle ground when it comes to VALORANT players’ feelings toward the most recent Skye nerfs in Patch 8.01. Based on the initial reactions, it seems players are either thrilled or devastated.

Given how extreme the nerfs are, it shouldn’t be a surprise to see that the responses to it are on the extreme ends of the spectrum. Guiding Light, Skye’s core info-seeking/flash bird ability, no longer recharges during a round, meaning she is capped at just two charges per round. VALORANT players can also no longer “fake flash” with Guiding Light as it automatically activates at the end of its duration.
