In yesterday's patch 8.01, changes affected some agents, particularly Skye, and discussions about it have not subsided. Many professional players and coaches have voiced their opinions on this matter.
Chet, the head coach of NRG, expressed his dissatisfaction with these changes before the start of VCT on his Twitter profile. Make a satirical statement that he is looking forward to the release of update 8.02, where changes to Palworld are promised.
Can't wait for patch 8.02 when they'll make Palworld. Next year, we plan to start the showdown a week before the season begins. By the way, there are no replay systems, and the 2024 season is about to begin!

The presence of Skye was the only reason why it was so easy to use the combination of Viper and Smoke. Attempting to do this now poses some risk. Additionally, many players are pleased to see agents with dual functions in a single ability being weakened. Patch 8.02 has received a lot of criticism not only for its duration but also for its content, but NAVI coach Erik called it the "perfect change."
It's nice to see an ability that performs two functions in one being weakened.
Skye was the only reason Viper + Smoker is so easy to play. Now you acually have risk a little bit more if you want to play it.

Plus I am happy they are nerfing agents that can have two functions in one (flasher + info).
So for me this 10/10 change
The game's situation has undergone many changes since the end of the 2023 season, and it is still unknown what transformation the new meta will undergo. Seasonal tournaments will start soon, and we will be able to see what the top representatives of Valorant choose.
