Jett will be receiving some heavy nerfs. Not only will her Cloudburst charges be reduced, but her Bladestorm will no longer re-charge if the ‘right-click’ of the ability kills the enemy.
KAY/O has one of the worst pick rates in the game, because of which he will be buffed in Valorant path 3.06. Both Flash and Null will get a significant amount of quality if life updates.
Additionally, there will be some map changes as well, specifically to the five maps, Fracture, Ascent, Bind, Icebox, and Haven.
Valorant players looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up Riot’s official website.
However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights.

Cloudburstcharges reduced 3 »> 2
The reduced charges for her smoke should hopefully make the choice on whether to smoke a choke point, smoke a path for a dash, or make a one-way, a more tactical one.
Bladestorm Right-click/Alternate Fire kills no longer recharge Jett’s kunai
Riot wants to incentivize the high skill primary fire kills while still allowing the low-risk-low-reward burst fire option. Bladestorm Right-click/Alt. Fire damage changes are reverted, damage and multipliers will mirror the left-click
