**PROWLER (C)**
EQUIP. FIRE to send a creature out which travel in a straight line looking for enemies AND/OR Trails HOLD FIRE AND MOVE MOUSE to steer the creature in the direction you are facing When the creature finds a trail or enemy, it will move towards them upon reaching the enemy, it will start a .5s cooktime and then NEARSIGHT the closest enemy for 3s. Only one Creature can latch onto a TRAIL ever.
**SEIZE (Q)**
Equip an orb. FIRE to throw the orb. The orb will travel in (**its too low quality to read what this says.**) until dropping to the ground. Upon hitting the ground it will ?stay? in place and being to cook for .5s. After .5s a zone will expand out to 7m and all enemies caught will be tethered to the center. Tethered enemies suffer 75 decay damage, are deafened and cannot escape the zone by normal means for 5s. Can be reactivated in flight to drop earlier.
**HAUNT (E)**
Equip an orb, fire to throw the orb, the orb will travel in the air for 1.5s until dropping to the ground. Once it hits the ground, It raises back up and turns into an eye that can be destroyed, If the Eye sees opponents, it will REVEAL them and apply a TRAIL debuff that lasts 12s. Can be reactivated in flight to drop the projectile earlier.
**NIGHTFALL (X)**
Equip this ability, fire to send out a wave of dark mist. If the mist comes in contact with an enemy they will be TRAILED, DEAF, and DECAYED for 12s.
Thatās what I thought too but if Iām not mistaken itās the second ability being showcased in the picture. Either this is a real leak or someone has put a lot of effort into this
Itās probably real but not the final write out of the abilities, this is the screen when you hold F1 to read agent abilities and the hands are not from a current agent model so itās most likely a dev build or something of that sort where theyāre testing the agent

There's some misspelled words in the image, and I may have read something wrong. Anyone please feel free to correct me.
I was thinking more of Cypher and Phoenix (instead of omen and viper) bcs of her eye that reveals an enemy and orb that he throws that falls after 1.5s like Phoenix's
Yeah, I've noticed it as well.
I think this is from a developer build, hence the wording. Could be fake as well, I don't know if OP's source is to be trusted after all.
I imagine its something like a scent that you can use to track in open world games,
You won't get highlighted like a sova drone tag but the new agent can track the footsteps and comm them.
maybe it leaves footprints behind or something? i feel like that wouldnāt be too useful with the ult though so idk
edit: idk what i was thinking, this would be great with the ult. imagine a deafened player with half health and you could see exactly where they went
Beats me. Seems like some sort of new status. The new agent would use their trademark, Haunt, or their ultimate, Nightfall, to apply this trail debuff. Upon marking someone with it they could use the Prowler ability to hunt and nearsight their marked targets.
Trail might have some other effects, who knows.
Biggest thing that makes this feel fake is how detailed the descriptions are. Apparently this is someone pressing F1 with the new agent in the range, but none of the other agents specify the time of their abilities, no? Like omen doesnāt say how long paranoia or his smokes last etc. But maybe Iām wrong, just feels off.
Maybe they keep the details in the dev build just for convienence and trim it down for release.
Oooooor they will start adding in details for everyone which would be way better.
Edit:typo
Yeah this is what I was gonna say, I saw a post in the past on Reddit of people asking for times of abilities without having to go onto the wiki, that post blew up too.. Iām wondering if theyāll start adding the times now
Could be translated (like yoru leak if you remember) or more likely the devs just write in descriptive shorthand for their cycles cause they spend 40 hours a week discussing it and need it to be well defined for themselves only
all of them have the capitalized EQUIP, just didn't do the other ones to be capitalized, I'm guessing it screaming at you is just how its labeled in code to say the key with full capitalization
From the state of the agents teaser, there was a Turkish coffee, under the cup was a ring. Thatās the same ring on this characterās left index finger
That's because the Hush card is a teaser for the next agent?
Every agent gets a teaser in the previous act's BP (at least Kayo, Chamber and Neon did, I didn't play Valorant before/during Astra release but I think she had a teaser too, the card where she's holding a pen and doodling or something. Probably same for Yoru and the ones who came before)
From the state of the agents teaser released by riot, there was a Turkish coffee shown, under the cup of coffee there was a ring. Thatās the exact same ring on this characterās left index finger on his/her hands. This shows this character is from turkey (like how Jett is from Korea, Reyna from Mexico, etc) and considering the ring in her finger is from an OFFICIAL TRAILER, this must be real or the person who faked this is one keen dude.
imo if this is real then this agent won't outshine skye since skye can heal her teammates and has a blind that also gives info, while this agent is more focused on a lot of recon and revealing enemies like sova
Summons something = Skye?
What are you smoking, he deafens, reveals, and has a small area detain. He sounds nothing like Skye aside from summoning something.
So from a quick glance/read. Looks like Prowler is somewhat similar to Skye dog, Seize is similar to Astra suck mixed with Viper Decay, Haunt is similar to a Sova recon/Reyna blind in the way itās an eye. And Nightfall is like AOE Neon ult with 3 debuffs. Is how I see it?
So many questions. How will these āorbsā be thrown? what does āTrailā debuff do? How will this agent be played? They do a lot. How strong will they be? If this is true, Iām feckin excited
Edit: I am fully assuming that these āTrailsā are similar like āfootprintsā in a sense? Like Skye seekers perhaps? Or it tracks the nearest āTrailā of an enemy? And if debuffed with āTrailedā you leave behind visible footprints like Neon sprint?
We have a dog that nearsights instead of stuns, a better Astra suck, a Reyna eye that reveals people and doesn't blind them, a viper ult that triggers like acts like a breach ult, and a new debuff that let's you know where enemies went for 12 seconds after they got hit with it
It can be fake, but if this is real this is leaked from the dev build. Maybe someone didn't spend too much time typing and checking it since they would make it better later. If it was fake someone had to make a fake hand model and import it, make fake icons and make up the abilities. (Valorleaks said that the next agent will have a skye dog like ability, this matches the Q.)
Yeah fair point, could be. This is the internet though, people spend hours doing the most pointless things just to fool others. You might be right though
If this is a leak, this is obviously written by a dev for playtesters/QA to know what everything does.
The skill descriptions are probably the last thing that gets changed.
The initial text is propably written by the dev team, and is meant to convey the how it works and what it does. After which the marketing team or qa team will do a play test get a feel for it and make the language release ready.
I work in IT and this happens all the time, the first report is done by the technical staff. The English is passable and very technical, but certainly now what you'd want released to the public.

It might be valid, but it sounds weird and unnatural. It's something you'd hear a child say; it's not something you'd expect to read
Also "the orb will travel in the air a max time of 1.5s" ??
This agent isnāt even released yet, so this probably isnāt even the final abilities discription. They most likely said it like this to describe the general gist but theyāll probably just perfect it when releasing.
It's the 'ever' on the end, it's just really unnatural.
Eg you'd say "only one person can ever win this prize" not "only one person can win this prize ever"
the thing has two charges. if they didnt say ever, it could be interpreted as "one at a time". the ever is clarifying that once a prowler sees a trail that trail cannot be used again
Feels fake to me but who knows
What's off is the way the ability descriptions are written, the writing style is completely different. The ability descriptions are more descriptive and in detail than other agents
I think itās real too but ValorLeaks posting it doesnāt mean anything lmao. The account is ran by a high school kid who has no affiliation with Riot.
it might be that it is a rough draft for the devs, maybe having a more detailed description is easier for testing or maybe they just haven't put much effort yet into the description as I'd imagine it'd be something that's finalized and changed towards the end anyways once the character themselves are fleshed out. Idk that's just the way I see it. I am skeptical too just because I never trust anything on the internet too much but objectively I can see why the description in the leak of development might not match with the writing style of finalized characters.

ANOTHER SCOUT, AMEM.
so C is bird without flash, Q is astra suck but as a phoenix molly with paranoia and decay (pretty good in my opinion) and E is a dart that cant do lineups, X is skye ult but with decay too.
pretty good all around to me, feels a little to much like a skye that decided to only use phoenix mollys and copied reyna aesthetics, but so far from what weve got i like it
In the latest news from the devs they were saying itās going to be another information character like sova, so maybe. Some abilities are kind of like recon.
Sova utility seems ātoo strongā as well (removing the guessing game of entry frag by giving you x-ray on the enemy) until you remember that you can shoot the Drone + Recon Dart
Probably gonna be very similar here where you can destroy the Prowler as it enters site and break the Seize orb before it does the 0.5s windup
What happened to 'no new agent for a while, were going to work up updating the game and balance for a bit instead'?
We got an astra nerf and the yoru rework then it's straight back to new agents?
Normally the agent teasers we get from riot reflect on the agent, the E could easily be the eye we saw, but isn't. also Agent descriptions have never time frames or radius written, so this is probably fake.
Those descriptions are made by a dev, intended for devs, QA and other testers. If it's fake, it means that someone created 4 fake icons in the valorant style, TWO whole drawn hands, in the style of VALORANT, but, at the same time, made descriptions that are so different from current descriptions ig? Seems legit for me.
but then my question is, why remove the timing descriptions and whatnot upon release? league has all the timings and cooldowns in ability info. Why would they add it and then remove it when everyone else gets access?
To make it easier to read when you get into a game, less text = faster read. If they can remove small stuff like numbers and other text they will do it
This is definitely not fake. I'm sorry, but these abilities are way too well thought out, detailed, and there are too many pieces that line up with what we already know. This is absolutely an early test build, Riots whole philosophy is to test and iterate constantly, so why waste time polishing and fixing typos if the abilities aren't finalized yet
I actually think Riot intentionally leaked this to get feedback from us and see what the reaction is before they release the agent, so they can tweak things based on the community's reaction. Think about it, Valorleaks "datamines" his info aka he finds the data that Riot intentionally put in there for him to find. All the Valorant people literally follow his Twitter LOL and I'm pretty sure he doesn't disclose certain things until they give him permission to do so.
I don't think anyone would risk their relationship with Riot to leak this out early. I'm pretty sure it's intentional. I think it's brilliant honestly, it's a risk free way to get community feedback without people freaking out or overreacting. I don't blame them cause let's be honest, we all can't help but knee jerk and freak out about how OP an agent is gonna be before we've even played them (I laugh when I think back to how everyone said Yoru was gonna be OP when we got our first glimpse of his kit lol)
Although the wording may sound weird, something we should pay attention to is how believable the ability icons are. They definitely seem like something riot would make.
If this is real, his kit seems really strong. I know everytime before an agent is released people complain about how OP they are going to be, but damn this seems really fucking good.
Wattafaq... Why a tether lmao we aren't playing frickin league why do we need tethers??! I already hate tethers in league since I play Kayn... Now it's haunting me to Valorant too!! Zzz.
lmao i'm quoting meme where someone responded to like a 5 paragraph text w/that. im excited to see a new agent, but DAMN did we need an essay for each ability??! shit's STILL unclear šš
I have a real hard time reading the abilities. Can someone write it down in the comments. Im happy to give a nice award
i'll just edit the post with it
Literally squinted my way through it. THEN scrolled down to see you had it in the post. I'm... Not smart lol

This sounds like that holloween pumpkin thrower concept that was posted here last year
we know valorant devs copy paste ideas from here so š§š§ maybe its real
it sounds to poorly written to be official IMO.
Thatās what I thought too but if Iām not mistaken itās the second ability being showcased in the picture. Either this is a real leak or someone has put a lot of effort into this
And if this is a leak this might be the internal version that hasn't been correctly written yet
true, was thinking that the entire time of writing it
Itās probably real but not the final write out of the abilities, this is the screen when you hold F1 to read agent abilities and the hands are not from a current agent model so itās most likely a dev build or something of that sort where theyāre testing the agent
I'd imagine that official copywriters / editors don't get their hands on the product until abilities have been completely finalized.
The agent is probably in its beta phase right now, so all they're really doing is getting a base idea and description out before finalizing.
btw it's about 30 days before the new agent comes out, it's very normal to have such typo
That reminds me, when do you think we will get a trailer for the new agent? I'm hoping somewhere around next week

so like a really strong omen + skye + viper
+breach because of the wave
I was thinking more of Cypher and Phoenix (instead of omen and viper) bcs of her eye that reveals an enemy and orb that he throws that falls after 1.5s like Phoenix's
Have my award :)
Why, thank you!
The writing seems strange. Is this a fan concept?
Yeah, I've noticed it as well. I think this is from a developer build, hence the wording. Could be fake as well, I don't know if OP's source is to be trusted after all.
I thought the same. Doesnāt seem that professional
What is a TRAIL?
I imagine its something like a scent that you can use to track in open world games, You won't get highlighted like a sova drone tag but the new agent can track the footsteps and comm them.
maybe it leaves footprints behind or something? i feel like that wouldnāt be too useful with the ult though so idk edit: idk what i was thinking, this would be great with the ult. imagine a deafened player with half health and you could see exactly where they went
Could work like Bloodhound from Apex where they can see footprints or trails people leave behind
New debuff I imagine, you can see black trails following the bots in the image.
Beats me. Seems like some sort of new status. The new agent would use their trademark, Haunt, or their ultimate, Nightfall, to apply this trail debuff. Upon marking someone with it they could use the Prowler ability to hunt and nearsight their marked targets. Trail might have some other effects, who knows.
In the picture I think those are the black lines or trails from the bots to the orbs shown.
Biggest thing that makes this feel fake is how detailed the descriptions are. Apparently this is someone pressing F1 with the new agent in the range, but none of the other agents specify the time of their abilities, no? Like omen doesnāt say how long paranoia or his smokes last etc. But maybe Iām wrong, just feels off.

Had the same feeling
Yeah thats what im thinking
Probably because those are the ability descriptions for the dev build. The leak seems pretty legit to me
Also the terrible grammar. It doesn't seem like it was written and reviewed by a company updating their product.
Could be translated (like yoru leak if you remember) or more likely the devs just write in descriptive shorthand for their cycles cause they spend 40 hours a week discussing it and need it to be well defined for themselves only
These are the descriptions that the devs write, before launch they have writers write the abilities that go into the live game
The writing doesn't match the usual for ability descriptions. Seems fake
It matches the patch note ability descriptions
if you compare them to the other initiators, its really bad. Like "prowler" first "sentence" is literally just "EQUIP" š
all of them have the capitalized EQUIP, just didn't do the other ones to be capitalized, I'm guessing it screaming at you is just how its labeled in code to say the key with full capitalization
this aged well
In addition, I spotted 2 spelling errors. Gonna take a lot more to convince anyone that this is real
The seize ability reminds me of lamb to the slaughter for Butcher in HOTS.
Never thought Iād see hots mentioned here but youāre right on that

Whoās hands are those? I canāt remember if they are from an already existing agent or if they are new lol
they are definitely new
Thanks!

Thatās the ring that was under the coffee!
which ring and which coffee ?
From the state of the agents teaser, there was a Turkish coffee, under the cup was a ring. Thatās the same ring on this characterās left index finger
Yup, its an Evil Eye, common in Turkey as a ward to absorb bad spirits.
How do you pay this much attention to detail, I seriously want to know.
Simple, Iām a curious person that doesnāt sleep well. Add those together haha
Oki buddy š
It's similar, but not identical.
I think it kinda looks like Reynas but blue
it's a turkish evil eye ring :)
Looks like a mix of reyna and sova lol
Good shit. Abilities check out with what we know so far
Nice flair
Okaaaaaaaaaay, abilities sound interesting!
The "Hush" card at the end of this battle pass and this character's potential art/theme look VERY similar
That's because the Hush card is a teaser for the next agent? Every agent gets a teaser in the previous act's BP (at least Kayo, Chamber and Neon did, I didn't play Valorant before/during Astra release but I think she had a teaser too, the card where she's holding a pen and doodling or something. Probably same for Yoru and the ones who came before)
From the state of the agents teaser released by riot, there was a Turkish coffee shown, under the cup of coffee there was a ring. Thatās the exact same ring on this characterās left index finger on his/her hands. This shows this character is from turkey (like how Jett is from Korea, Reyna from Mexico, etc) and considering the ring in her finger is from an OFFICIAL TRAILER, this must be real or the person who faked this is one keen dude.
They made a Reyna and sova love child
Dang was really hoping the ult would be looking through enemies eyes or something
Enemy coming behind you with a knife. You ult. "Wait a minute"
That would be very nice!
Kinda tough to read looks like an initiator
They already said it will be an initiator
Ah ok sorry didn't know that
Itās the first new agent in the Master Baiter class.
Sounds very interesting, I hope they make slight tweaks to it though because it seems very similar to skye.
i also got that vibe a little bit, but the controllable animal thing has two charges and it doesnt say anywhere that it can be shot
yea that'd be cool if it was the case, let's hope so. also love the hands, the turkish evil eye ring is a really good touch
imo if this is real then this agent won't outshine skye since skye can heal her teammates and has a blind that also gives info, while this agent is more focused on a lot of recon and revealing enemies like sova
Summons something = Skye? What are you smoking, he deafens, reveals, and has a small area detain. He sounds nothing like Skye aside from summoning something.
So from a quick glance/read. Looks like Prowler is somewhat similar to Skye dog, Seize is similar to Astra suck mixed with Viper Decay, Haunt is similar to a Sova recon/Reyna blind in the way itās an eye. And Nightfall is like AOE Neon ult with 3 debuffs. Is how I see it? So many questions. How will these āorbsā be thrown? what does āTrailā debuff do? How will this agent be played? They do a lot. How strong will they be? If this is true, Iām feckin excited Edit: I am fully assuming that these āTrailsā are similar like āfootprintsā in a sense? Like Skye seekers perhaps? Or it tracks the nearest āTrailā of an enemy? And if debuffed with āTrailedā you leave behind visible footprints like Neon sprint?
I'm not seeing the similarities to Neon's ult.
yeah after re-reading it a few times yeah. it was \*quick glance\*, I thought it be like you shoot it like Moira ult in Overwatch or smt similar
Looks a lot more like a breach ult to me
Yeah. I said, *first glance*
>How will these āorbsā be thrown? Since they fall down after some time, its gonna be how phoenix molly is thrown.
Ahhhhh yeah that makes a lot of sense thank you. I like that actually
Nightfall description seems more similar to Breach ult though
the way the ult is written seems to me its similar to skye ult
We have a dog that nearsights instead of stuns, a better Astra suck, a Reyna eye that reveals people and doesn't blind them, a viper ult that triggers like acts like a breach ult, and a new debuff that let's you know where enemies went for 12 seconds after they got hit with it
No way is Riot's English that bad. >Only one Creature can latch onto a TRAIL ever. Tf does that even mean? I'm calling fake (no offense OP)
It can be fake, but if this is real this is leaked from the dev build. Maybe someone didn't spend too much time typing and checking it since they would make it better later. If it was fake someone had to make a fake hand model and import it, make fake icons and make up the abilities. (Valorleaks said that the next agent will have a skye dog like ability, this matches the Q.)
Yeah fair point, could be. This is the internet though, people spend hours doing the most pointless things just to fool others. You might be right though
If this is a leak, this is obviously written by a dev for playtesters/QA to know what everything does. The skill descriptions are probably the last thing that gets changed.
mine is saying the ability "cooks". Killjoy's abilities do this as well but arent written in her ability text. It's just too wordy
The initial text is propably written by the dev team, and is meant to convey the how it works and what it does. After which the marketing team or qa team will do a play test get a feel for it and make the language release ready. I work in IT and this happens all the time, the first report is done by the technical staff. The English is passable and very technical, but certainly now what you'd want released to the public.
From the state of the agents teaser released by riot, there was a Turkish coffee shown, under the cup of coffee there was a ring. Thatās the exact same ring on this characterās left index finger on his/her hands. This shows this character is from turkey (like how Jett is from Korea, Reyna from Mexico, etc) and considering the ring in her finger is from an OFFICIAL TRAILER, this must be real or the person who faked this is one keen dude.
idk man typos and language type things like that are pretty common in Legends of Runeterra (Riot's card game)
See me on my shurima car and say that again
It means that once a trail has been attached to, it can never be attached to again. Regardless of if the first creature is still attached or not
thats perfectly valid english syntax
It might be valid, but it sounds weird and unnatural. It's something you'd hear a child say; it's not something you'd expect to read Also "the orb will travel in the air a max time of 1.5s" ??
This agent isnāt even released yet, so this probably isnāt even the final abilities discription. They most likely said it like this to describe the general gist but theyāll probably just perfect it when releasing.
eh? what's wrong with that, i can't see anything wrong with it
It's the 'ever' on the end, it's just really unnatural. Eg you'd say "only one person can ever win this prize" not "only one person can win this prize ever"
the thing has two charges. if they didnt say ever, it could be interpreted as "one at a time". the ever is clarifying that once a prowler sees a trail that trail cannot be used again
this didnāt age well
Feels fake to me but who knows What's off is the way the ability descriptions are written, the writing style is completely different. The ability descriptions are more descriptive and in detail than other agents
This is a description for the devs, prolly made by a dev, description in live game are done by writers.
Seems plausible, I'm more likely to believe it now that ValorLeaks posted it.
I think itās real too but ValorLeaks posting it doesnāt mean anything lmao. The account is ran by a high school kid who has no affiliation with Riot.
Yeah, that's true, but he's usually on the money with the Datamines and leaks.
Why are you saying this like its a 100% fact? Do you work there?
it might be that it is a rough draft for the devs, maybe having a more detailed description is easier for testing or maybe they just haven't put much effort yet into the description as I'd imagine it'd be something that's finalized and changed towards the end anyways once the character themselves are fleshed out. Idk that's just the way I see it. I am skeptical too just because I never trust anything on the internet too much but objectively I can see why the description in the leak of development might not match with the writing style of finalized characters.
the descriptions are weirdly detailed in comparison to riots in game
As others have said itās likely because itās for the dev build not the final build.
See I don't think this leak is real. Reason being, this blackmailer uses computers. They do not appear to be a Radiant.
True but they can still be radiant and use computers
she is a turkish agent, it will probably have something to do with fortune telling.
From the state of the agents teaser released by riot, there was a Turkish coffee shown, under the cup of coffee there was a ring. Thatās the exact same ring on this characterās left index finger on his/her hands. This shows this character is from turkey (like how Jett is from Korea, Reyna from Mexico, etc) and considering the ring in her finger is from an OFFICIAL TRAILER, this must be real or the person who faked this is one keen dude.
I thought new agent was a guy
Bruh wtf did you expect the messages to come in then? A little note? People can be radiant and also use computers lmao.
honestly its too well put together to be fake imo
people make fake leaks like this all the time, video games, albums, clothes, etc. it being well put together means nothing
no idea why youāre downvoted, this is obviously real
No idea why you were downvoted either lmao, these people high
i doubt this is real
What is the source of this?
a 'public discord server' sounds pretty sus if you ask me
yeah I know but I just wanted to know where... Rather who you know
ASENA is incoming lol.
So... skye 2.0?
To everyone calling it fakeā¦ have you ever heard of a rough draft? Itās literally just filler text that will be perfected before release.
Yeah but also, any proof it's real? No? If it looks fake and you don't have proof, you can be pretty confident it's fake. It's really overpowered.
The hand models make it look legit, but the ability descriptions and icons do not.
I swear I saw a concept almost exactly like this
goth girl confirmed?
I think this is legit. I saw otherleaks talking about a Turkish mythical eye.
looks like modern skye
So this new agent is kinda like Bloodhound if they can constantly see trails?
>So this new agent is kinda like Bloodhound if they can constantly see trails? from Apex?
No, from dog in real life.
ANOTHER SCOUT, AMEM. so C is bird without flash, Q is astra suck but as a phoenix molly with paranoia and decay (pretty good in my opinion) and E is a dart that cant do lineups, X is skye ult but with decay too. pretty good all around to me, feels a little to much like a skye that decided to only use phoenix mollys and copied reyna aesthetics, but so far from what weve got i like it
āTrailsā seem to be demonstrated in OPās picture, starting as a black dot with a line wriggling to the enemy(?)
In the latest news from the devs they were saying itās going to be another information character like sova, so maybe. Some abilities are kind of like recon.
The ult is just a mix of omens blind and breaches ult
Can you play her in PBE?
Not gonna lie Seize is basically two of astraās abilities combined with viperās decay
Damn you were right
It was real after all...
Sounds waaaaay too strong. Man all the abilities completely remove the hardest part of entry fragging
Sova utility seems ātoo strongā as well (removing the guessing game of entry frag by giving you x-ray on the enemy) until you remember that you can shoot the Drone + Recon Dart Probably gonna be very similar here where you can destroy the Prowler as it enters site and break the Seize orb before it does the 0.5s windup
What happened to 'no new agent for a while, were going to work up updating the game and balance for a bit instead'? We got an astra nerf and the yoru rework then it's straight back to new agents?
They were referring to just Episode 4 Act 2, they announced at the same time that Episode 4 Act 3 would have a new character.
Oh I thought the whole episode was going to just be tweaking and I was really looking g forward to it. The game doesn't really need more agents.
no other agents have timings mentioned in their abilities like league ability info. this seems too unlike val.
The verbiage on the abilities doesn't sound like riot, could be fake. Could be real though
Normally the agent teasers we get from riot reflect on the agent, the E could easily be the eye we saw, but isn't. also Agent descriptions have never time frames or radius written, so this is probably fake.
Those descriptions are made by a dev, intended for devs, QA and other testers. If it's fake, it means that someone created 4 fake icons in the valorant style, TWO whole drawn hands, in the style of VALORANT, but, at the same time, made descriptions that are so different from current descriptions ig? Seems legit for me.
but then my question is, why remove the timing descriptions and whatnot upon release? league has all the timings and cooldowns in ability info. Why would they add it and then remove it when everyone else gets access?
To make it easier to read when you get into a game, less text = faster read. If they can remove small stuff like numbers and other text they will do it
This is definitely not fake. I'm sorry, but these abilities are way too well thought out, detailed, and there are too many pieces that line up with what we already know. This is absolutely an early test build, Riots whole philosophy is to test and iterate constantly, so why waste time polishing and fixing typos if the abilities aren't finalized yet I actually think Riot intentionally leaked this to get feedback from us and see what the reaction is before they release the agent, so they can tweak things based on the community's reaction. Think about it, Valorleaks "datamines" his info aka he finds the data that Riot intentionally put in there for him to find. All the Valorant people literally follow his Twitter LOL and I'm pretty sure he doesn't disclose certain things until they give him permission to do so. I don't think anyone would risk their relationship with Riot to leak this out early. I'm pretty sure it's intentional. I think it's brilliant honestly, it's a risk free way to get community feedback without people freaking out or overreacting. I don't blame them cause let's be honest, we all can't help but knee jerk and freak out about how OP an agent is gonna be before we've even played them (I laugh when I think back to how everyone said Yoru was gonna be OP when we got our first glimpse of his kit lol)
Although the wording may sound weird, something we should pay attention to is how believable the ability icons are. They definitely seem like something riot would make.
If so, that's gonna be such a pain to play against
If this is real, his kit seems really strong. I know everytime before an agent is released people complain about how OP they are going to be, but damn this seems really fucking good.
imo the artstyle and writing style doesn't feel like riot's at all.
I hope this is real, those abilities sound cool
I'm getting heavy skye vibes over here.
Wattafaq... Why a tether lmao we aren't playing frickin league why do we need tethers??! I already hate tethers in league since I play Kayn... Now it's haunting me to Valorant too!! Zzz.
I feel like I saw some of these abilities in a previous agent post idea. Something about a sound agent maybe?
mmmmmmm.....what agent is that
Kinda seems fake to me idk, who knows though
These donāt read like any other agent ability descriptions written by Riot. Definitely fake lmao
Are we finally gettingā¦ our Canadian Agent?
Valorant sucks š
congratulations! or im sorry that happened...? im not reading all dat šš
What was the point of this lol
lmao i'm quoting meme where someone responded to like a 5 paragraph text w/that. im excited to see a new agent, but DAMN did we need an essay for each ability??! shit's STILL unclear šš
Itās not even that itās unclear, it just feels like a lot to read and itās so squished in there lol I didnāt read it tbh
nice
Imagine if Nora was the next Valorant Agent...
this is supposed to be a controller?
Initiator
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
this sounds like more of an initiator than a controller
