All the agents other than clove are fine. But I don't want to see anymore ipad characters.
riot needs to stop releasing agents and make better maps and gamemodes
I think a sizeable amount of the current issues can be solved if they don't follow their general bad map designs
I'm not defending shit I just don't agree with this argument
And let's not pretend the developers who actually design the maps and agents don't put care and expertise into their work
pretty sure riot intentionally makes new agents that changes the meta no matter how ridiculous the agent design is. i wish riot would just focus on making the game better to keep players playing instead of relying on the gimmick of releasing an agent every masters/champs. like yeah there's nothing wrong with releasing new agents but at least make them make sense. comp feels like a tdm now. vct looks like a tdm now.
I genuinely don't know what you mean by "normal" when the original 10 agents + Reyna have some of the whackiest kits if you look at them in isolation. We just have the bias of never knowing what valorant would look like without them
also Miks is clowned on for being such a vanilla agent, like vlr was full of suggestions for how his smokes or ult should be changed to be more unique
they should add a character with the ability to throw bana peel like mario cart
All of these except veto and clove were perfectly fine though this is blatant nostalgia bias
you're not wrong. the game was unique and awesome back then. now it doesn't even feel like a tactical fps.
rating in terms of creativity, ability design and uniqueness
harbor 8/10
gekko 10/10
deadlock 9/10
iso 6/10
clove 1/10
vyse 9/10
tejo 5/10
waylay 3/10
veto 6/10
miks 2/10
their agent design fell off after Vyse.
Veto was fine after vyse but waylay, tejo and miks felt shit
People are being contrarians and disagreeing but this is mostly true. Visual design for agents is absolutely in the bin. Miks and Waylay are two of worst visually designed characters I've ever seen. Agent abilities are also blatantly recycled, too much baby mode ipad abilities. And why the FUCK does Harbor have his own world to place smokes in like Omen does?
no cringe no fun normal get stale quickly, innovate and be different is the way forward.
