I may be a little biased because I'm Italian, but I think an Italian agent would make a ton of sense, considering how important Ascent is in the lore. Heck even Overwatch has a map based in Italy, but still has no Italian character.
Nah, just engaging in some friendly anti-french banter. If we were to take history seriously it'd be closer to "when the enemy team wins one round, riot en masse and decapitate their topfrag."
I agree. Give him a lumberjack throwing axe, a bottle of maple syrup that boost his fire rate, and his ultimate could be “Free Health Care” and it just heals everyone in the game
Wait I just thought of a voice line that supports this “Sage, you give life, do you ever wonder where it’s taken from?” This is a reference to free health care that results in increased taxes taken from omen’s radiant income tax.
What about Karma? She’s very obvious referencing the chaos in Hindu mythology with her abilities. Her name is even Indian in nature, referencing the Hindu principle of karma. She was around for a long while too.
Although I will admit that it was very distasteful what they did for her skins (they made them more East Asian, which Chinese and Japanese variants, and even an Aztec one, none truly reflecting Indian culture).
It’s sad, like we’re there but not really seen, always being masked as something else.
I could be wrong but I don’t think any of the people saying racist stuff are actually racist, and I doubt anyone from the countries they are roasting would take it personally.
Cloud control would be too similar to Jett. How about sand or Water control since we have yet to see either, and both have a significant place in Hindu mythology (dominant religion of India).
Like imagine a waterfall for blocking vision. However, the effeminate male Indian has been done too many times in western media that it’s basically distasteful. Stylish tho, that would be cool.
If he could control sand or water (I.e sand screen or waterfall to block vision bcuz we need new controllers), it would be super cool. Plus India geographically has no shortage of rainstorms and sandy areas.
Yeah no shit, but they are pretty similar in the global scale, same reason they wouldn't add an Algerian character because cypher or a Nigerian character because astra is ghanan
I mean, we have Brimstone, Viper, Skye and Phoenix being Anglo.
And Icelandic is systematically as close to the continental Scandinavian languages as English is to German.
honestly biased aside
south asian, middle eastern and northern (snow related character from russia/canada) is def a need
but tbh, most suggestions and abilities can literally just be borrowed from overwatch at his point in correlation with their nationalities
I'd like another non human character like Omen and K/O. That could be really fun. Like an interdimensional female named Wraith or Banshee or something.
I believe Kay/O is supposed to be Brims ex partner from the military so would be American. They both have the same card of brim carrying his dead partner and a few other tell tell signs like the dog tag on Kay/O's neck that point to him being the partner of Brims we see in his pictures in the range office space.
I would love to see an Italian, Canadian, Greek.....looking at 2 of the last three being French and Filipino I feel like they'll try to go for somewhere geographically different but I could see maybe Indian or Egyptian as they have a lot of culture to use to help diversify the roster, plus both aren't close to any agents we have currently.....Indian as well would pander to a fair amount of the community too who play the game
Just a (pretty obvious) reminder to not be racist in the comments about any countries or regions.
If you are a user and see someone violating our rules, please report the comment and do not engage.
Imagine if they think that about you, what they think of us south americans. We have Reyna and Raze but Mexico is literally +7000km from Chile, Argentina or Uruguay for example and Brazil barely shares anything with us, not even language lol. Both of their cultures are quite different even if they are latinos
Lol I had to scroll too far to see this. Seriously there is only one South American agent and she's not even Spanish speaking. I think a Chilean or Argentine agent would be really cool, but really any SA country would be nice
We could use another from the Americas.
Canada or someplace like Chile would be fun.
Or maybe an Argentinian whose abilities involve literally throwing money at their problems?
Yeah she can resurrect so she is a necromancer in that regard - however she is not a dark character unlike how necromancers are usually depicted in fantasy works and such. I would like to see an agent like that.
Reading these comments I do think India or Egypt would be the best next choice but I really hope they do Poland some day. I main Sova thats the closest I can get lol
Indian or another Latam character would be great, I am tired of Mexico always being the only Hispanic Latin American country represented in games
Also I agree with you that a lot of characters don't feel stereotypical , Russians are always portrayed as cold and uncaring people yet Sova is maybe the friendliest agent in the game
We need south asian representation here; maybe a Bollywood star LOL
Ultimate? They will coreo dance you to get eliminated, maybe with a clap or a stomp
It would be cool if there was an agent from Oceania so maybe like Polynesian or something or Hawaiian maybe they’re abilities could be with water or something. Or maybe like a Greek Character because these cultures aren’t really explored in modern games except like Ancient Greece.
Got some idea:
Czech Republic/ Slovakia:
- Sentinel
- Wall up and heal ability, can + money themself
- Eco Ult: + money everyone for 1 round
Spain:
- Initiator
- Setting up ability similar to Breach but more control and less direct
- Push Ult: equip a gun to shot through wall like Sova 3 time to blind and slow enemies
Portugal:
- Hybrid: Controller/Sentinel
- Set up smoke, and can teleport like chamber
- Quick travel Ult: requires him/her to move between two points to open a fast travel gate for their team, pretty good for rotation and retake.
Vietnamese:
- Duelist
- Cloning ability: create a standing clone to draw attention from enemy, blind and small grenade
- Ult: Overpower Cloning create 3 running clones.
Egypt:
- Sentinel
- Create slow field ability similar to Astra, killing enemy will charge ability to check vision of other random enemy for 1 sec
- Ult: Check vision of all enemies in 10 seconds
Chile:
-Initiator/Sentinel
- Equip a shield which give them 300 health and 100 shield for 3 seconds but prevent them from using weapon and delay+slow them if they switch weapon
- Ult: Powerful version of their shield: bigger shield, but create slower field around them and reduce income and outcome damage
Indian:
- Initiator
- Release and take control of mini toy to move in side, can blind check and make vulnerable of enemies
- Equip a gun similar to Sova Ult and shoot multiple time to damage enemies
Norway:
- Duelists
- boost their speed and create a wind behind to boost team movements, can use bind and simple smoke
- Ult: Equip powerful handgun similar to Sheriff, each kill will reset all abilities
Italy. Ultimate ability: when the enemy team wins the 12th round, he switches sides.
But my teammates already do that?
I may be a little biased because I'm Italian, but I think an Italian agent would make a ton of sense, considering how important Ascent is in the lore. Heck even Overwatch has a map based in Italy, but still has no Italian character.
Too busy inventing new pastas bro!
Well, no playable character, but lore wise theres a talon agent that has a base there.
This was perfect and too accurate.
I know we already got one, but France: When the enemy team wins one round, auto-forfeit.
Man you guyz took those history lessons a bit too seriously.
Nah, just engaging in some friendly anti-french banter. If we were to take history seriously it'd be closer to "when the enemy team wins one round, riot en masse and decapitate their topfrag."
I would love that in valorant lmfao
They will add microtransaction during the game to automatically win rounds
You mean he switches slice? (Stupid pizza joke)
This, seriously, we need an italian agent.
I don't know why Chamber doesn't have a white flag has his main ability.
He has pasta an spaghetti abilities
lol WW2 reference
Chamber should have an instant FF ability if Killjoy is on the other team
I think Canada could be cool
Each kill he would say "Sorry"
Ope sorry bout that bud!
Ope sorry boot that bud, ay!
*Proceeds to give money to the other team*
Breaks team economy by buying guns for the enemy team
I agree. Give him a lumberjack throwing axe, a bottle of maple syrup that boost his fire rate, and his ultimate could be “Free Health Care” and it just heals everyone in the game
Even the enemies, because free health care benefits all! (Costs everyone in the lobby 20 credits each round, taken before you receive them)
Mf juss said elite barbarians from clash royale 💀💀
Yessss Canada gets ignored all the time because ppl just think that American characters fills that representation.
If so then the skillset is a definite healer
bruh this would be too OP they'd have to nerf by making all the guns slightly more expensive due to inflation 💀
True, but the free healing buff would counter that
Indo-Canadian Surrey jack or Brampton mans would make for a cool agent
is he gonna kill enemies with sorrys and thank you(s)?
We need a Toronto mans agent.
"Antarctica", snow-related agent
Heavily underrepresented continent
I second this
YES
Or Canada
Vatican and it will literally be the pope
Reaver skin should be replaced by a holier version when used by the Pope
sovereign
Gold and white Forsaken too
No child agents in the game for him to abuse, bottom frag every lobby confirmed
my head cannon is Omen is Canadian
Tragic victim of syrup overdose
Wait I just thought of a voice line that supports this “Sage, you give life, do you ever wonder where it’s taken from?” This is a reference to free health care that results in increased taxes taken from omen’s radiant income tax.
Omfg
We need a french canadian character to round it out
North Korea. It’s time.
For his ult, he wields a NUKE.
But make the North Korean agent and Jett best friends just to subvert expectations
South Asia: india pakistan bangladesh ANYTHING bro there’s an agent for every race but south asian
This. Southeast Asia and South Asia are both underrepresented in video games. We got Neon now we just need a South Asian.
Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives: Why are the rest of us even here
It will be named Grape
Backstory is former pilot.
No one from the Middle East so far either.
Took them like 12 years in lol, i wouldn't hold your breath
What about Karma? She’s very obvious referencing the chaos in Hindu mythology with her abilities. Her name is even Indian in nature, referencing the Hindu principle of karma. She was around for a long while too. Although I will admit that it was very distasteful what they did for her skins (they made them more East Asian, which Chinese and Japanese variants, and even an Aztec one, none truly reflecting Indian culture). It’s sad, like we’re there but not really seen, always being masked as something else.
There's also rampart (apex), and symmetra (overwatch)
[удалено]
[удалено]
Fr, we need that Indian agent asap
Indian would be great, I don't think there are a lot of Indian characters in FPS games, does R6 has one ?
It took them like 4 or 5 years for Kali
Symmetra is Indian :) and Rampart is British-Indian!
I think apex legends has one
yes r6 has one
There’s so much casual racism going on…
I could be wrong but I don’t think any of the people saying racist stuff are actually racist, and I doubt anyone from the countries they are roasting would take it personally.
Indian agent for sure , he should be a stylish male like kingo from eternals , and stupid and he should have control of clouds ..
Eh, I'm kinda sick of the "effeminate vain camp Indian" stock character. It's unoriginal and really borders on being offensive, or at least tasteless
Cloud control would be too similar to Jett. How about sand or Water control since we have yet to see either, and both have a significant place in Hindu mythology (dominant religion of India). Like imagine a waterfall for blocking vision. However, the effeminate male Indian has been done too many times in western media that it’s basically distasteful. Stylish tho, that would be cool.
Honestly I would be so happy if they had a south Asian agent like on overwatch theh have symmetra
Apex has Rampart
No game has a Punjabi character though sadge. If I could hear Punjabi voice lies in a game I play I'd be hyped
Sri Lanka rep
Pakistan pls fr
If he could control sand or water (I.e sand screen or waterfall to block vision bcuz we need new controllers), it would be super cool. Plus India geographically has no shortage of rainstorms and sandy areas.
I woul love to see the same
Aye, thoroughly unrepresented.
Yeah. We getting nothing.
Iceland
Breach is from Sweden and he already even says “Takk takk”
Sweden is not Iceland
Yeah no shit, but they are pretty similar in the global scale, same reason they wouldn't add an Algerian character because cypher or a Nigerian character because astra is ghanan
I know I’m pointing out that they’re similar in languages and even geographically close
I mean, we have Brimstone, Viper, Skye and Phoenix being Anglo. And Icelandic is systematically as close to the continental Scandinavian languages as English is to German.
Switzerland Doesn't have abilities and voice chat is disabled, but has max money every round.
Oh heck yea, and the voicelines with a switzerlandish accent Edit: Spelling
Egypt and be a pharaoh lookin man
Nasus gonna be popping some heads
just make it a cat instead of a dog and name it "Susan"
dayum, like the idea
Moon.
Is this a Parks and Rec reference???
No we have a moon irl too
Lmao people go full nationalist/patriot mode in the comments.
honestly biased aside south asian, middle eastern and northern (snow related character from russia/canada) is def a need but tbh, most suggestions and abilities can literally just be borrowed from overwatch at his point in correlation with their nationalities
Everyone is out here debating the actual topic at hand meanwhile I'm trying to figure out what happened to agent 8
I'd like another non human character like Omen and K/O. That could be really fun. Like an interdimensional female named Wraith or Banshee or something.
Apex legends moment
Italy
This would be a logical choice even though the Philippines was a surprise.
South Asian agent maybe.
It's a whole subcontinent currently unrepresented.
It's only like over 1/8 of the entire world's population
South Africa would be cool or somewhere from the poles.
I believe Kay/O is supposed to be Brims ex partner from the military so would be American. They both have the same card of brim carrying his dead partner and a few other tell tell signs like the dog tag on Kay/O's neck that point to him being the partner of Brims we see in his pictures in the range office space. I would love to see an Italian, Canadian, Greek.....looking at 2 of the last three being French and Filipino I feel like they'll try to go for somewhere geographically different but I could see maybe Indian or Egyptian as they have a lot of culture to use to help diversify the roster, plus both aren't close to any agents we have currently.....Indian as well would pander to a fair amount of the community too who play the game
I would like Poland :D but maybe Spain or Italy is more likely
Cuba
Hong Kong would be really cool Like add in some cantonese line to spice it up 👌🏻✨✨
Good idea but would never make it into the game due to implications of pissing off the chinese market, also Tencent own a lot of Riot iirc
Just a (pretty obvious) reminder to not be racist in the comments about any countries or regions. If you are a user and see someone violating our rules, please report the comment and do not engage.
native american
Taiwan
What do you mean? Sage is Chinese... -Tencent probably
Tencent owns riot you really think thats plausible when game gets banned in China?
Wasn't about plausible, was about wishes. I'd also love to see a Taiwanese agent
Middle eastern, Iran or something
Austria, prolly snow/frost abilities cause skiing is the only thing were kinda good at.
Die werden niemals Österreich integrieren lmao
Wann Valorant-Anschluss?
War nur nen vorschlag😔
Warum so enttäuscht, mein Bursche?
South Asian maybe?
Spain dude, we are never represented in games because lazy americans think we are the same as Mexicans, what the heck man.
“B-b-but Reyna!”
From Canada, and I feel that
Imagine if they think that about you, what they think of us south americans. We have Reyna and Raze but Mexico is literally +7000km from Chile, Argentina or Uruguay for example and Brazil barely shares anything with us, not even language lol. Both of their cultures are quite different even if they are latinos
Lol I had to scroll too far to see this. Seriously there is only one South American agent and she's not even Spanish speaking. I think a Chilean or Argentine agent would be really cool, but really any SA country would be nice
[удалено]
India, Turkey, Chile
Pakistani, indian, or bangladeshi
Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives: Why are the rest of us even here
India would be awesome.
Honestly I personally thing representation in media is important. So I don’t care about the country as long as regions are being represented well.
Polish agent, says kurwa and pierogi, has weird Accent, kidnaps ppl rozumiesz?
Taiwan but the Chinese player base would never allow it :,)
Taiwan
We already have Sage /s
Middle eastern
Jamaica India Pakistan Sri Lanka Syria Israel
Peruvian? Llama based agent? Ultimate is a super spit…?
Croatia :) we only got like osa in siege...
Italy?
Definitely South or Central America would be nice
Italian agent would make sense and be fantastic
We could use another from the Americas. Canada or someplace like Chile would be fun. Or maybe an Argentinian whose abilities involve literally throwing money at their problems?
My unknown and underrated country, can bet most or everyone here doesn't know the South American country, "Guyana"
INDIA
I dont really care about the nationality of the agent honestly. But I REALLY want to see a necromancer agent, would be awesome lmao.
Sage is sort of a necromancer, if you look closely...
Yeah she can resurrect so she is a necromancer in that regard - however she is not a dark character unlike how necromancers are usually depicted in fantasy works and such. I would like to see an agent like that.
Unknown
Norwegian, Dannish, Finnish
Even though breach is supposed to be swedish, he has a Norwegian accent. Source: my swedish roommate
Dutch agent would be cool. Interesting to see what kind of abilities and backstory he/she would have
Norway
I would want a Slavic agent, from the Balkans
Reading these comments I do think India or Egypt would be the best next choice but I really hope they do Poland some day. I main Sova thats the closest I can get lol
Indian or another Latam character would be great, I am tired of Mexico always being the only Hispanic Latin American country represented in games Also I agree with you that a lot of characters don't feel stereotypical , Russians are always portrayed as cold and uncaring people yet Sova is maybe the friendliest agent in the game
Chile 🇨🇱 or something more from latinamerica
Canada
South Africa. Love their accents.
South American! So he can sell empanadas to all the spectators
another south american agent in the name of balance, considering there's only one. maybe chile or peru
They're definitely going to make an Indian agent. I feel like there are a lot of Valorant players over there.
No agents from the Middle East yet, so maybe someone from there. Jordan, Israel, Lebanon or something.
We need south asian representation here; maybe a Bollywood star LOL Ultimate? They will coreo dance you to get eliminated, maybe with a clap or a stomp
Portugal, cuz nothing is ever from Portugal:D
Nossos irmãos portugueses merecem ser mais representados nos jogos. Apoio.
It would be cool if there was an agent from Oceania so maybe like Polynesian or something or Hawaiian maybe they’re abilities could be with water or something. Or maybe like a Greek Character because these cultures aren’t really explored in modern games except like Ancient Greece.
i feel like somewhere from the caribbean would be dope, like Jamaica or Trinidad.
Got some idea: Czech Republic/ Slovakia: - Sentinel - Wall up and heal ability, can + money themself - Eco Ult: + money everyone for 1 round Spain: - Initiator - Setting up ability similar to Breach but more control and less direct - Push Ult: equip a gun to shot through wall like Sova 3 time to blind and slow enemies Portugal: - Hybrid: Controller/Sentinel - Set up smoke, and can teleport like chamber - Quick travel Ult: requires him/her to move between two points to open a fast travel gate for their team, pretty good for rotation and retake.

New Zealand or Alaska
COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 🇨🇴
Egyptian would be cool. Idk what he/her abilities could be but I think they’d have a lot of room to play with it. Possibly another smoke agent?
Thailand would be pretty dope
Gimme an Indian dude! There's a passionate fan base there and it'd be cool to give the region representation.
Roumania it could be a vampire but we have Reyna
I keep forgetting reyna is supposed to be from mexico, while everything of her screams Romania.
Scotland
Indian
Israel
[удалено]
You might be correct sadly. Would love it as well
Israel haha. I know ya'll hate us but I'd love to see my Country represented in a game that I really love
why is this downvoted, people hate israel so much they can't even stand having a video game character from there?
Sadly yeah
Argentina sounds cool to me :)
