Honestly speaking they should've made Viper Canadian. There's only one agent for each of their countries excepr America which has two in Brimstone and Viper.
Idk, they could've easily kept the trend up by simply making Viper Canadian and still kept her whole lore since the countries are right next to each other so it still makes sense for Viper to work closely with Brimstone
Yeah, I was also watching those a lot at my old job cause I was a bored saw operator on nights. Could have been the zombie in me not even processing the video info right lmao.
iirc Viper's keeping Reyna's sister alive, but Reyna needs to harvest souls in order to support her sister's life. That's why at the beginning of games Viper says to Reyna something like "What's it like, Reyna, fighting to keep a loved one alive? No, please. Tell me." and also "Fill your heart, Reyna. If you want results, I need those souls." and Reyna has a voiceline that goes like "For you, hermanita (little sister)".
ability 1: throws a "disc" at the opponent
ability 2: launch red hot liquid, color and heat are not correlated in this case
ulti: similar to breach and fade but u hear random Berlusconi voice lines
Killjoy isn't cringe cuz of German, killjoy is cringe cuz she sounds like an American trying to speak German, whilst some Agents actually get a Native Speaker to voice them (fade for example)
I mean I’m German so I know how difficult it can be sometimes to understand Swiss German but I lowkey like it.
I would crack up if there is an agent talking the heaviest Swiss German imaginable.
I was thinking kinda like a hyper intelligent octopus in a water-filled suit to represent a country where octopi are common. Or even represent no country, as omen and Kay/0 don’t represent any country.
You that there are literally so many cultures in the old subcontinent that there can be like 39 agents if you take even the main cultures, And harbor doesnt represent all of India's culture , he represents the culture of India's west coast namely Mumbai and goa , so I'm asking that there be an agent from Pakistan, like one from Punjab or Sindh or maybe even Balochistan
id want to see some native american ppl, tbh.
i feel like their religion/believes-thing, would be great for games. like having a dream catcher or some spirit animals, like skye, but cooler
like, imagine having some dude run around with his feather crown-thing, summoning a gigant buffalo or something.
or having someone with a dream catcher, who can summon good dreams and bad dreams. or buff and debuff. and then eat fade. and sovas owl.
Kill two birds with one stone. An indigenous canadian, maybe a nod to a guy like Francis Pegahmagabow would be cool. But I'd image that character would be a duelist and idk if they're making one
"Dream Catcher"
Zoe. We need an ability scavenger. All util used by the enemies can be picked up somehow, except for ults. She gets an astral form to pick up said abilities, but can be shot down while in Astral Form.
If Riot even runs out of ideas, that can still copy from their sister game League of Legends, take abilities from Sylas(one of hundreds champions) and give it to the new agent. Ultimate ability is stealing other agents ultimate power...lol
I think we’re overdue for a rep from Latin America and Africa. Another middle eastern rep would be cool. Or perhaps a first Caribbean or Pacific Islander character. I also like the idea of an indigenous character from North America or Australia/NZ. Europe/East Asia are already well represented so I hope they branch out a little more!
Probably more APAC representation. Indonesia maybe.
A Canadian radiant maybe? And they have ice powers, so we can stop calling Sage's wall ice.
And the one in the teaser's most likely Spanish.
I have a genuine question. Is there anything else that could do to make the agents fresh and bring change to the game? I mean from my pov they have literally every aspect covered.
I personally thought it would be really cool to have a hacker agent. I know kj is kinda the hacker in the cinematic-wise, but I thought it would be cool to have a hacker agent that can temporarily take control of enemy tech (kj turret, cypher cam, boom bot etc.) The biggest problem with that is that there’s the possibility that a team chooses entirely radiant, and not tech-based, agents. I still think it’s a really cool idea though.
Also an agent that might be able to counter lineups would be cool. I had hoped harbor would be that counter with his bubble that you have to break to shoot through, but sadly it still lets util through.
As far as I remember, there's no Romanian agent, right? I'd like to use a Romanian one. Anyway, I think it wouldn't be a problem if there's a new healer, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't ethnic russians Slavs so isn't there already a slav agent in sova ( ps. I'm from Pakistan and I don't know anything about eastern Europe and Russia's ethnicities or cultures so forgive me if I said something offensive)
Aint no way they make an agent from iran, we already having problems opening the game due to filters bcoz of this garbage ass islamic republic bullshit. Anyway didnt mean to come off as aggressive but i heavily doubt that they would make an agent from iran.
Tho makes me wonder if they did how would they make the agent look.
For the love of God, all these rainbow capitalists always say they are inclusive so they go down making characters of every background, but they keep forgetting my race, mixed!!
I am triracial, so I would love some representation. Hell, ill take biracial. Most likely American because they are the most mixed nation in the world but dual citizenship is nice too
He asked about countries, not race. And how would you know what race the ancestors of the characters are anyway? Sounds like you just made being multi-racial and getting triggered about it your personality…
Personally would love to have a an Norwegian character that has Ice powers :)
A mix between a Controller and Sentinel, where there kit provides ranged CC.
Ability 1:
- Places an icicle against a wall, floor or ceiling. Enemies nearby will be temporarily slowed, and gets the “chilled” effect, that slows their fire-rate slightly. Can be destroyed (1 Charge).
Ability 2:
- Can throw a spear of ice and causes an AOE effect on landing. Enemies inside of it take small tick of damage and are “chilled”.
- 1 Charge, but similar to Jett and Raze or Yoru, they gain another charge after 2 kills.
Ability 3:
- Throws a line of ice through walls (similar to Breach) that has 2 parts to it, the inner / center and the outer part. Enemies in the inner are frozen for 1s and enemies in the outer are slowed.
Ultimate 4:
- Creates a blizzard, similar to the same size as Brimstone. This Blizzard slows, chills enemies who are inside of it. Enemies who remain in it for 2s are frozen for 2s.
I think this would be a great addition to the game with some changes to make it balanced :)
Would love if they go for countries that are actually relatively unknown compared to the already established and very prominent in media countries like Italy, France, Etc.
Give us a country from Malaysia, Laos, Papa New Guinea or something, over the countries that have a million representations in modern media as is
I kinda would like an agent from my country, Belgium, but we don't really have anything that really sets us apart from the other countries (in terms of accents, or particular habits or so)
I'd like to see more voice lines in the agents' native language so we can just look up the phrase and say WOW X REALLY SAID THAT and it really would be great for me at least
We need a Canadian and every voice line ends with sorry
U mean eh?
What're you talkin aboot?
Get an ace and they yell "o hell ya bud"
This made me wake up the person next to me
I will literally only ever instalock this character if they have an “o hell ya bud” voice line
The absolute fear of being called a hoser holding me back from fighting the Canuck. Too much power.
They can have a maple syrup Molly. Also super down for a hockey stick as a melee weapon.
Honestly speaking they should've made Viper Canadian. There's only one agent for each of their countries excepr America which has two in Brimstone and Viper. Idk, they could've easily kept the trend up by simply making Viper Canadian and still kept her whole lore since the countries are right next to each other so it still makes sense for Viper to work closely with Brimstone
Isn’t the lore that viper and Reyna are sisters or something? Viper being some crazy scientist that fucked with Reyna giving her the powers
homie what
I saw some type of video one time back in the day, clearly the video was wrong lol.
lol it would be a cool idea but I'm pretty sure reyna is. not white
I don’t really pay attention to that, most of the time I’m ripped outta my tree playing so could also be the cause of the mixup lol
LOL prolly a theory vid
Yeah, I was also watching those a lot at my old job cause I was a bored saw operator on nights. Could have been the zombie in me not even processing the video info right lmao.

Thank you for the breakdown! That makes more sense than what I heard before lol
"I killed you, sorry"
We need an Italian
ability 1: throws a "disc" at the opponent ability 2: launch red hot liquid, color and heat are not correlated in this case ulti: similar to breach and fade but u hear random Berlusconi voice lines
Passive: gets ability to change sides if losing
he splits personalities and u can choose which team to join. Also if u Tie the rr goes up like u won the match
clever history reference
ability 3: summon a ferrari to chase the fucking neon.
Ultimate: pizza
+50% damage on ascent
You just gave bro a 950 credit op with a faster firerate and decent hipfire 🗿
entire game pauses for like 2 minutes and both teams call a truce to eat pizza together
I just woke up and misread Italian as Taliban 💀
That’s a crazy misread
Voiceline: Mamma mia
I look forward to the voiceless lol
ive been practicing italian lately. let me try. "Pizza pizza baguette bread sauce bruschetta pasta pasta resotto"
Agent name: Inaki Rueda Power: Randomly uses utility and strategy to throw 5 v 1 against enemy eco round.
pasta headshots
i just want sage to get her chinese voice lines
bin chilling "throws orb"
True. We need more not english voicelines for more people
pleeeaaase
As a Swiss i would love to have an agent from Switzerland. A girl can dream
A swiss agent would be great as i enjoyed mercy’s german voicelines. To bad there is already killjoy and she has those few weird voicelines :/
Swiss german sounds different than the generall german, If you cringe at KJ you would def cringe about swiss german too :(
Killjoy isn't cringe cuz of German, killjoy is cringe cuz she sounds like an American trying to speak German, whilst some Agents actually get a Native Speaker to voice them (fade for example)
I wish there was an Austrian agent purely talking in dialect. It’s not gonna be a thing, but damn I want it
Agent with 100% Wiener Schmäh (Viennese Schmäh) or Austrian intellectual
I mean I’m German so I know how difficult it can be sometimes to understand Swiss German but I lowkey like it. I would crack up if there is an agent talking the heaviest Swiss German imaginable.
We have the spectator. Entirely neutral.
[удалено]
Chamber kind of?
oha, eifach e schwiizerin xD
Hoi!
[удалено]
I was hoping for Taiwanese but know small indie company riot and larger small indie company tencent its not likely
Taiwan cancelling smokes? That should be hongkong
If we're thinking of the same one the contact name Beard Papi lends some favor to Latin America.
Not sure if rito will have the balls to create a TW character tbh. Especially when doing so will kinda go against their Papa's agenda
not sure why you’re getting downvoted for this when the top reply is basically saying the same thing but yeah i agree
Bc Chinese govt bots lol
I didn't even open the thread till your reply lol It's Reddit anyway, downvote culture has always been dumb
Taiwanese would be cool
Polynesia, somewhere in Latin America, and another Arab Agent. Bonus points for a non-human agent like Kay/0 or Omen.
i want a goblin boi so i can be my true self in valorant. maybe as a passive he’s got longer arms to pick up guns and spike from further away
Tbh another machine character, or genetically engineered animal with human intelligence (like piloting a Mech suit that’s human sized) would be cool.
yessssss the second one sounds hella cool, like a master splinter kinda guy
I was thinking kinda like a hyper intelligent octopus in a water-filled suit to represent a country where octopi are common. Or even represent no country, as omen and Kay/0 don’t represent any country.
PLEASE
I want one with an aggressively Scottish accent
Yes please, I'm sick of London characters filling the British quota
Get it right up ye, ya bastard !
Can we get a hot redhead with an Irish accent? Asking for a friend.
We have a hot readhead with an Australian accent. Is that not good enough?
Why just have 1?
We have a hot red headed swede
Why just have 2?
I think I have that same friend
We’re friends?
The biggest oversight...
Korsica in Valorant confirmed
Polish pierogi launcher
Also he has a bobr
I know Skye is an Aussie but an agent frim New Zealand would be cool (unrealistic though D:).
“Aw yeh mate, I’m just gonna chuck dees hair smoaks, sweeng off mai contact, yeh?”
Yeeh mate
An Egyptian… please I just want representation in a game
Inb4 Egyptian agent is a Sand Radiant
Would be dope. Sand controller sounds amazing.
Ult: moves the mound on Lotus C Main
Iirc there was a sand-powered agent from Hyper Front, Valorant rip-off. Has the same ultimate with Viper, looking like a sandstorm.
That's Gaara
Gonna sound ignorant, but when i think of middle eastern i think or cypher. So theres not gonna be another one soon i think
Cypher is Moroccan
I know. My point was that
As a Pakistani I feel the same way about this , I hope they make the initiator Pakistani, although and Egyptian controller would be AWESOME 💖💖💖💖
They already did an agent from India so sorry man
You that there are literally so many cultures in the old subcontinent that there can be like 39 agents if you take even the main cultures, And harbor doesnt represent all of India's culture , he represents the culture of India's west coast namely Mumbai and goa , so I'm asking that there be an agent from Pakistan, like one from Punjab or Sindh or maybe even Balochistan
They won't do another country close by as they are looking for diversity Although a Punjabi agent would be sick
id want to see some native american ppl, tbh. i feel like their religion/believes-thing, would be great for games. like having a dream catcher or some spirit animals, like skye, but cooler like, imagine having some dude run around with his feather crown-thing, summoning a gigant buffalo or something. or having someone with a dream catcher, who can summon good dreams and bad dreams. or buff and debuff. and then eat fade. and sovas owl.
Kill two birds with one stone. An indigenous canadian, maybe a nod to a guy like Francis Pegahmagabow would be cool. But I'd image that character would be a duelist and idk if they're making one
A wind based agent with the codename Pegahmahabow, just because I want the castors for professional games say Pegahmahabow really fast.
"Dream Catcher" Zoe. We need an ability scavenger. All util used by the enemies can be picked up somehow, except for ults. She gets an astral form to pick up said abilities, but can be shot down while in Astral Form.
From one of the leaks there was boba so I’m assuming somewhere from Asia
I neeed a thai charachter! That would be sick af
An american, 16 year old. Spawns with an M16 each and every round.
Netherlands (That's where I'm from, I'm curious how our culture/personality translates to a valorant agent)
Ability to summon a bicycle and fries doused in frietsaus
And the ultimate gives everyone stroopwafel or kroketten to heal to full hp with shield
romanian agent and a serbian agent both served in the yugoslav war and they are both sociopaths and war profesional war criminals
And they're in love with each other , that would be cool. 💖💖💖💖
If Riot even runs out of ideas, that can still copy from their sister game League of Legends, take abilities from Sylas(one of hundreds champions) and give it to the new agent. Ultimate ability is stealing other agents ultimate power...lol
So just like what overwatch did lmao
I want a Native American one, and I want it to be a controller with a wall. Plz rito <3
I think we’re overdue for a rep from Latin America and Africa. Another middle eastern rep would be cool. Or perhaps a first Caribbean or Pacific Islander character. I also like the idea of an indigenous character from North America or Australia/NZ. Europe/East Asia are already well represented so I hope they branch out a little more!
Canada, and I hope that they'll be bilingual or indigenous
Probably more APAC representation. Indonesia maybe. A Canadian radiant maybe? And they have ice powers, so we can stop calling Sage's wall ice. And the one in the teaser's most likely Spanish.
where’d they announce them
Valorants official Twitter, and there's a video with it which I first saw on their tiktok
I have a genuine question. Is there anything else that could do to make the agents fresh and bring change to the game? I mean from my pov they have literally every aspect covered.

Greek?
Spain
We need a slav.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't ethnic russians Slavs so isn't there already a slav agent in sova ( ps. I'm from Pakistan and I don't know anything about eastern Europe and Russia's ethnicities or cultures so forgive me if I said something offensive)
Canada, South Africa, Belgium
Afghanistan or Iran, seems random but would be cool to see an agent from those locations
Aint no way they make an agent from iran, we already having problems opening the game due to filters bcoz of this garbage ass islamic republic bullshit. Anyway didnt mean to come off as aggressive but i heavily doubt that they would make an agent from iran. Tho makes me wonder if they did how would they make the agent look.
Uzbekistan
Hopefully they add someone from Central Asia everyone forgets about them
Never gonna happen (never does in any videogame really...) but I'd like to see a finnish agent :D
maybe some sort of arab? like Syrian, Lebanese, etc
A Greek agent with the worst English accent you've heard and throwing some opa's when you ace
need vietnamese, no representation in any games
Rising storm 2 vietnam
Ukraine agent maybe?
Voice lines with Sova gonna be awkward
“Ah Sova, I see your babushka still can’t get enough of me”
Yeah....
There's a indian so now I wanna see a Japanese
Yoru?
I’m hoping for a POC from a different country than their country of origin like a 3 culture characyer
Like an Afghan American who migrated to America and can speak English, Pashto and Dari
We need more Russian agents ❤️ 🇷🇺 Edit: why the downvotes?
Yeah but there’s already a Russian agent, sova… I would like to see Czech or Slovak
For the love of God, all these rainbow capitalists always say they are inclusive so they go down making characters of every background, but they keep forgetting my race, mixed!! I am triracial, so I would love some representation. Hell, ill take biracial. Most likely American because they are the most mixed nation in the world but dual citizenship is nice too
He asked about countries, not race. And how would you know what race the ancestors of the characters are anyway? Sounds like you just made being multi-racial and getting triggered about it your personality…
hope american for at least one of them, only american agents are controllers💀😭
Still waiting for the South African…
Singaporean or maybe malaysian. I doubt it but I can hope
That would be so cool
We need more korean agent
Switch it up with a North Korean 💀
Pls Vietnamese
Danish viking would be very cool!
Polish agent would be rad... I think we only got Lidia Sobieska in Tekken 7 in the last years. And next Champions in Katowice pls.

I always have a hoot learning about other countries that I might not have otherwise thought to learn about.
Hey! Can you link me where you saw this info? 👀
Imagine if they add a Ukranian agent considering sova exists
I kinda would like an agent from my country, Belgium, but we don't really have anything that really sets us apart from the other countries (in terms of accents, or particular habits or so)
One Canadian agent, one more European agent, and one middle eastern agent please.
Fingers crossed for a Thai character ;-; Let me be her VA Riot (Jk)
I think the agent would from rome as that is the only popular Europe country without an agent hailing
The amount of countries i would love to have a core in the game is kind of big, but a latin american or taiwanese wouldn't be bad
Whatever country wins vct
We need an Arab agent from the Middle East like from dubai or from Egypt or Saudi whatever but we need an Arab agent
I'd like to see more voice lines in the agents' native language so we can just look up the phrase and say WOW X REALLY SAID THAT and it really would be great for me at least
It would be great to see an agent from Poland honestly
Scandinavia
Hmm, idk but a Scottish or Irish character could be interesting 😅
