Valorant 11.10 Update Brings Harbor Rework, Clove Nerfs, Game Changers Pick’Ems & More

Riot Games has revealed the patch notes for the upcoming Valorant 11.10 update, and it’s bringing a ton of exciting changes to the shooter.

For starters, it’s introducing some crucial Agent changes to the game in the form of the highly anticipated Harbor rework alongside some much-needed nerfs to Clove.

Aside from the Agent changes, another exciting addition in the Valorant 11.10 patch is the Game Changers Pick’Ems, which players can access in-client starting November 13.

There are also some updates to the competitive mode, and players across NA, LATAM, BR, and KR who are Ascendant+ must enable Riot Mobile multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access the Competitive queue moving forward.

Valorant 11.10 Patch Notes

Without further ado, let’s check out the full patch notes of the Valorant 11.10 update, as confirmed by Riot:

ALL PLATFORMS

 GENERAL UPDATES

  • Team HUD Health Improvements
    • Healing Indicator: The top HUD health bar now shows when you or an ally are healing. During recovery, the bar turns teal and fills to reflect healing progress. Once recovered, the bar returns to its normal white color.
  • We’ve enhanced the Collections experience for both PC & Console, bringing you improvements such as:
    • A grid layout is in, and carousel is out for PC Weapons & Buddies
    • New dedicated page for equipping and viewing titles on PC.
    • Custom skinline backgrounds across more Collections screens; letting your favorite weapon skins shine
    • Note: the above changes will be delayed for our players in Korea until 11.11 following some player flow changes

AGENT UPDATES

  • Harbor
    • The Harbor Rework is finally here! We’ve overhauled Harbor’s abilities to move him into a more aggressive Controller, with a splash of Initiator. High Tide was an iconic part of his kit and we wanted players to be able to carry over their mastery and creativity from High Tide casts in the past. We’ve moved Cove into the signature slot with a few changes to make it easier to place with precision. This should help Harbor find more ways to block vision for his allies from afar or Shield them depending on the situation. Harbor will be gaining a new ability to help with aggressively taking gun fights, Storm Surge! Reckoning also received a massive update, making it easier to set up his allies to flood into enemy territory.
    • Read the updated Ability Tooltips below, and check out our social channels for more content breaking down Harbor’s reworked abilities. We’re very excited for you to all dive in!
      • Cove
        • Changed to the signature ability slot
        • EQUIP Cove. ACTIVATE to form a water Smoke in the select location. HOLD FIRE while targeting to move the marker further away and HOLD ALT FIRE to move it closer. RELOAD to toggle targeting view. REACTIVATE to Shield the water Smoke, blocking any bullets that hit it. The Shielded water Smoke can be destroyed.
      • High Tide
        • Changed to a non-signature ability
        • Cost 300 credits
      • Storm Surge (New)
        • EQUIP Storm Surge. FIRE to throw, creating an explosive whirlpool that Nearsights and Slows enemies within it after a short duration.
      • Reckoning
        • EQUIP Reckoning. FIRE to unleash the full power of your artifact, releasing a surge of water that barrels forward to Nearsight and Slow enemies that are hit.
      • We’ve also updated Harbor’s voice lines to reflect his updated abilities. We added conversation voice lines with Tejo and Waylay and have new lines at the start of the match on Abyss and Corrode.
  • Clove
    • Clove is dominating competitive queue pick rates and preventing other controllers from being picked. These changes are aimed at shaving off Clove’s snowballing power. When Clove’s team gets ahead in advantageous states, they very easily outperform other controllers.
      • Ruse
        • Ruse charges are now restricted to 1 maximum when Clove is dead
      • Pick Me Up
        • Overheal amount, while Pick Me Up is active, has been reduced from 100 HP → 50 HP
  • Omen
    • Spectators can now see Omen’s perspective in Dark Cover when he is placing his smokes.

COMPETITIVE UPDATES

  • Starting in 11.10, all Ascendant+ players in NA, LATAM, BR, and KR, must enable Riot Mobile multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access Competitive queue. Other modes will remain unaffected.
    • Why Ascendant+? Our highest ranked players are capable of inflicting the greatest harm when smurfing and are at risk of more competitive integrity violations as an outcome to sharing accounts – i.e. win trading.
    • You can check out this article for more information on why we’re making this change, or get yourself set up with MFA now using this how-to guide.

ESPORTS UPDATES

  • We’re bringing Pick’ Ems to GameChangers!
    • Starting on November 13, the tournament will open in-client and on the web. Predict the full 10 team double elimination bracket winners for points and earn unique rewards for participating.

GAMEPLAY SYSTEM UPDATES

  • A followup to the last patch’s updates on how the “Use Object” button functions (“F” on PC and Square/X on Console by default).
    • To simplify layered debuff states, all persistent attached debuffs will be removed at once by holding the “Use Object” button.
      • For example, Cypher Dart and Deadlock GravNet will both be removed if they happen to be stacked on you at the same time.

    • Killjoy

      • Observers are now able to see Yoru’s Blindside immediately instead of after it bounces.
      • Yoru’s Blindside will display the correct color VFX when there are two Yoru’s in the same match.

Marvel Rivals Rogue Abilities Leaked: All You Need to Know

NetEase has confirmed that Rogue and Gambit are set to be the two heroes coming to Marvel Rivals in Season 5. While the devs haven’t disclosed the details of either character’s full kit, we have seen plenty of leaks surface on the internet over the past few days to get an idea of what each character will bring to the game.

We’ve already discussed Gambit’s leaked abilities in our earlier article, so this time, we’re turning the spotlight to Rogue and her kit.

Marvel Rivals Rogue Abilities

Below, we’ve listed all the leaked abilities of Rogue in Marvel Rivals.

  • Capacity Building
  • Ability Draw
  • Ability Acquisition – Skill 1
  • Ability Acquisition – Skill 2
  • Ability Acquisition – Skill 3

At the time of writing, only the names of these abilities have been leaked, so it’s still unclear how her kit will function in-game.

Judging by the ability names, Rogue may have a kit that revolves around copying abilities from other nearby heroes, giving her a unique playstyle reminiscent of Loki’s ultimate or Echo from Overwatch.

Marvel Rivals Rogue Release Date

As mentioned earlier, Rogue will arrive in Marvel Rivals during Season 5. However, whether she joins the roster at the start of the season or is later introduced in the mid-season update still remains to be seen.

The Marvel Rivals Season 5 update will go live on November 14, 2025, alongside a new playable character, a fresh Battle Pass, and more.

A similar story unfolded for MadKings, who ended their run in 14th place with 98 points from 24 games.

Meanwhile, K9 Esports and Saumraj-led Team Versatile pulled off an incredible comeback to qualify for the finals on the last day. Team Versatile began the day in 11th place with 98 points and finished 7th with 165 points, scoring an impressive 67 points in a single day to grab their spot in the Grand Finals.

The Smash Rule format will be applied in this stage. Teams will compete under standard rules until one team reaches a specific Match Point threshold, which is calculated as the top team’s points after Match #12 plus 10 points.

If no Match Point Eligible team wins a WWCD by the end of the final 6 matches, the team with the highest total points will be declared the Winner of the tournament.

100 Thieves Is Returning to Competitive Counter-Strike 2

One of the biggest esports organizations in the world, 100 Thieves, is coming back to Counter-Strike 2, the organization has officially confirmed.

Having left the game during the CS:GO days, 100 Thieves is coming back with a CS2 roster, and as per previous reports, former FaZe Clan star Håvard “⁠rain⁠” Nygaard will be headlining the return. The same report suggested that Rain has joined on the condition that the team secures a strong core, which indicates that the team will be securing more superstars in the coming days.

https://twitter.com/100T_CS/status/1987973847552061490

“Europe is at the centre of that community, and by establishing a permanent home there, we’re committing to doing this the right way, and with Roobet as a partner, we’re building something our fans can be proud of,” said the President, Jacob Toft-Andersen.

100 Thieves has asserted that this will be its most ambitious project in the history of their organization, and this time around, they are unlikely to stick with a regional roster. The organization has confirmed that it will be headquartered in Serbia, and this project will be aimed at making a global presence.

The organization rose to prominence on the global stage with its Valorant roster but has not made any significant efforts outside the US. Now that they are putting together a team of EU superstars, we will have another contender to challenge the likes of MOUZ, Vitality, and Falcons.

How to Kill Queen in Arc Raiders

Queen is the ultimate boss in Arc Raiders and is likely the one that players will find the hardest to get past. It goes without saying that this will take significant effort from a team, and in this article, we will explore everything you need to know when taking on the Queen in Arc Raiders.

Arc Raiders Queen Location

The Queen in Arc Raiders will typically spawn near a Harvester, given that she will be the one guarding it. Make sure to pick a Harvest event-specific map if you want to take on the boss. Once you have picked a map with the ongoing event, find the Harvester, and the queen will be right next to it.

Armor PlateFull Plated
Primary AttackMortar fire
Special AbilitiesLaser beam

Best Weapons

From the plethora of options for weapons, Hullcracker stands out as the most effective gun in a fight against the queen. Its damage and accuracy can be instrumental when fighting against the Boss. The Hullcracker has already established itself within the community as the best Arc-killer weapon, and when backed by a deep arsenal of ammunition, there is no weapon it falls second to in a boss fight.

Utility

Utility is another aspect players definitely should consider when taking on the Queen. Wolfpack grenade deals 1992 damage while Showstopper stuns the boss for 10 seconds, allowing you to throw in all the firepower you’ve got with ease. Given that these boss fights will be prolonged, given their massive HP, Herbal Bandages and Shield Rechargers are a must-have. Keeping your HP at its peak against the Boss can be the key to defeating it.

Marvel Rivals Gambit Abilities Leaked: All You Need to Know

With the highly anticipated Marvel Rivals Season 5 update being just around the corner, the abilities of Gambit, one of the two new heroes set to join the roster in the upcoming patch, appear to have leaked online.

For the uninitiated, NetEase has confirmed that Gambit and Rogue will be the two additions to the list of playable characters in Marvel Rivals with the game’s Season 5 update. However, the devs have yet to fully disclose the abilities of either of the new heroes.

Luckily, we may have a fairly good idea about Gambit’s full kit based on the ability names that have already leaked on the internet. And while we still have to wait till NetEase’s official confirmation, Gambit’s leaked abilities should give us a clearer picture of his overall role in Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals Gambit: All Leaked Abilities

Without further ado, let’s check out all the leaked abilities of Gambit that we know of so far:

  • Kinetic Energy Card: Gambit throws a playing card that can be charged to deal additional damage.
  • Energy Accumulation: Gambit passively charges Kinetic Energy and unleashes it on his enemies for a burst of damage.
  • Node Card Array – Projection: Gambit sets up his cards as traps throughout the map, which can be used to attack enemies.
  • Node Card Array – Recycling: Gambit replaces his traps on the map with new cards after a cooldown.

As mentioned earlier, none of these abilities has been officially confirmed as of yet, so take them with a grain of salt.

Marvel Rivals Gambit Release Date

It has been confirmed that Gambit will hit the live servers at some point during Marvel Rivals Season 5. However, it remains unclear if he’ll be the mid-season addition or will be available to play from the get-go of the new update.

The Marvel Rivals Season 5 update will go live on November 14, 2025, alongside a new playable character, a fresh Battle Pass, and more.

One of the most popular and dominating PUBG Mobile esports clubs, Nova Esports, lifted the first-ever trophy of the PMGC in 2020 in Dubai. The Chinese club featuring the game legends like Paraboy, Coolboy, Jimmy, King, and Order dominated the grand finals after finishing 8th in the league stage.

Nova Esports finished 8th in the league stage with a total of 366 points, securing their spot in the PMGC 2020 Grand Finals. A total of 24 teams competed in the league stage, and the top 16 advanced to the finals. After a modest start, Nova displayed their true potential in the Grand Finals.

The PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2021 was held entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, for the Grand Finals, most of the Western teams traveled to Singapore or Dubai, UAE, to reduce in-game ping and ensure fair competition. Once again, Nova Esports showcased its dominance by lifting the trophy and becoming the first team in PUBG Mobile history to win the PMGC title back-to-back. The star-studded lineup of Paraboy, Order, Jimmy, Mix6GG, QC, and King made history with this remarkable achievement.

A total of 41 teams competed in the 2021 season, and for the first time, an Indian team, Godlike Esports, participated in the tournament.
