‘Valorant’ update will nerf Jett’s dash ability
nme.comValorant patch, the character Jett will be receiving some major nerfs to address issues some players have been facing.With the introduction of patch 4.08, Jett’s dash (called Tailwind) will only work after a short delay once the ability key is pressed.
