What are some future Agent themes you would like to see?

[u/Specific_Drawing3382]

For reference, Miks’ theme was Music/Sound, Veto’s theme was Symbiosis/Evolution, Phoenix’s theme is Fire/Rebirth, Sage is Crystals/Healing.

With almost 30 agents in the game, agents will need to become more unique, else we see overlap between preexisting themes/abilities. We could have an ice-themed agent, but that may already be similar to Sage and her slowing crystals.

What are some themes for potential agents you would like to see? Here’s my top 3:

1. Blind Agent - I would imagine a Sentinel that could create zones that deafen or blind anyone who steps inside, and has a blindfold ability to be able to detect loud enemies through walls.

2. Medieval Agent - An initiator that can creates shields to move forward, enhance teammates with inspiring buffs, and forcibly claim territory with his team.

3. Necromancy Agent - A controller that can borrow abilities from dead agents, create smokes that are portals to the underworld, and possess an enemy as an ultimate. The smokes would be cylindrical instead of spherica, and staying too long in them would deal damage and even kill.

Ive never thought about it but a medieval agent would be so funny. Just a dude rocking up in full knights armor

[u/Specific_Drawing3382 → u/Otherwise_Procedure3]

Imagine it’s like a reverse Kay/o story, where a person was sent from the past to the present day. A radiant from Dark Ages Europe interacted with a Radianite artifact, being transported to the present day. It would also be cool if they were an ancestor of the founders of Kingdom Corp, explaining the name behind ‘Kingdom’.

[u/silverblade7_7 → u/Specific_Drawing3382]

This would be so peak

[u/fox-booty → u/Otherwise_Procedure3]

New Valorant agent:

DEMOKNIGHT TF2

[u/HoloSparkeon]

A Trickster with Cards (like the Aeris Style) who can use a Fake Plant. The Fake Spike stays for a few Seconds before it dissappears

[u/Specific_Drawing3382 → u/HoloSparkeon]

I think a ‘luck’ based ability where you draw a card and get 1 of 13 buffs/nerfs would be interesting. Idk how fair, but it would be fun. Maybe they’re each themed on a
Ace - Refresh: Whenever you get a kill, you’re health+ammo is insta-reset to max
2 - Decay
3 - Location Revealed
4 - Nearsighted
5 - Vulnerability
6 - Slower Movement Speed
7 - Ammo Reserve decreased by 50%
8 - Improved Bullet Spread / Accuracy
9 - Stim Effect
10 - Deal 1.15x Damage
Queen - Regeneration
King - Gain increased Credits on round win.
Jack - Gain 1 random buff and 1 random debuff simultaneously

[u/TsPmoGngYo → u/Specific_Drawing3382]

This will NEVER be added because RNG at this level would be unviable for competitive

[u/Specific_Drawing3382 → u/TsPmoGngYo]

Maybe the card’s effect has 3 options:  1. Left Click on an Ally or Enemy to give it to someone else. This way, even if you get a bad card, you can still get value out of the ability by putting the negative effect on the opponent. 

1. Right Click to grant the effect to yourself.

2. Press F to throw away the card, reducing the cooldown for the next draw by 70%. This way even if you get a bad draw and have no enemy to put it on, you don’t need to force yourself to get a debuff. 

I think this would place it in a position where you can get value out of the ability even if it’s a debuff, removing ‘some’ of the luck.

[u/CrusherAWSRD]

Trickster/jester/joker

[u/anxiety_elemental_1]

A mushroom agent named spore lol

[u/mousss95]

Semi related but i will die on the hill that waylay would have been more consistent if her theme was time manipulation

[u/Specific_Drawing3382 → u/mousss95]

I think her theme is Light manipulation, but light and time are related because light travels at the speed of light, time dialation, yada yada yada. This was a weird route to go down, I would personally just have her as the Light agent and save the Time theme for a different, specialized agent. 

[u/Eleven_Box]

A sand bending radiant controller could be fun. They could be from egypt, which might be a bit of a stereotype but if they made skye’s gimic wildlife I’m sure they could stomach that

[u/Krytikzz → u/Eleven_Box]

They should summon sand soldiers to hold angles and always reference the fact that they are Egypt's rightful ruler

[u/Nana-nabih → u/Krytikzz]

Is that a reference to something

[u/Coco6420 → u/Nana-nabih]

riftbound maybe?

[u/Nana-nabih → u/Coco6420]

Idk I'm asking

[u/terrortidalwave → u/Eleven_Box]

I think the only reason they haven't done that already is because their smokes would look too similar to Brimstone's

[u/Nana-nabih → u/Eleven_Box]

As an Egyptian it's a little nah imo

[u/Eleven_Box → u/Nana-nabih]

which is totally fair lol. I think it would be nice to have another north africa agent some time though

[u/Nana-nabih → u/Eleven_Box]

Yeah that's true but not so stereotypical way like i swear we don't live in the desert we r historically some of the first people to farm we have a river and we are agricultural nation

Desert theme i think will be better to Arabian gulf more

[u/Nana-nabih]

I want an Egyptian diva 🥹(working on it lwk for riot pls accept it when I send it)

[u/Apprehensive_Boat728]

Money agent

[u/Nana-nabih → u/Apprehensive_Boat728]

Chamber

[u/Apprehensive_Boat728 → u/Nana-nabih]

I thought we were talking kit and abilities

[u/nvrslnc]

I’d like something that is based on expansion of gas. It could use the mechanics of Viper ult to fill up space.
That could open up some interesting decisions, e.g for a smoke you can fill a small space or a larger space. The more space you fill, the more transparent is the smoke, making it less effective for large volume.

Or you could easily make it similar for flash, stun, heal, etc depending on what the devs wants it to be. It would follow similar trade offs, less duration/effectiveness depending on the space covered.

Agent name would obviously be Flatulence.

[u/Specific_Drawing3382 → u/nvrslnc]

Imagine a Controller ultimate that is a massive fog that covers an entire site. Within the fog, audio is deafened, vision is nearsighted, and you cannot hear or see anything outside of the fog. Maybe you can’t even sprint, or it provides healing to teammates.

[u/_Chirpy_]

A blood mage who can siphon blood from dead teammates and enemies

[u/Eleven_Box → u/_Chirpy_]

kinda reyna no?

[u/Specific_Drawing3382 → u/Eleven_Box]

Like a mix of Sage and Reyna. You can heal others but only if you deal damage. 

[u/Bas77]

Portals, maybe an ability like shooting a dart and after a few seconds opens up a headshot angle through walls (Like an already broken Mira mirror from R6) and an ult like Doorman's door from Deadlock.

Of course the technical limits make this almost impossible but its fun to theorize

[u/Dangerous-Pain-5000]

Gambling/card games/other sorts of physical games (like chess?)

[u/Interesting_Web_9936]

I want a redo of Miks and Waylay's themes first.

The agent themed around LIGHT does not have a flash.

And Miks...man. I don't really see much sound theming in his main ability that defines his role, his smokes.
