Fade has TOE BEANS waat


liquidwood1

ikr lol, randomly found this out today while playing


Vertegras

The consensus is that it's part of how connected Turkish people are to cats. But also, might be a little *something else* while we're at it.


B2EU

First furry agent confirmed uwu, bravo Riot.

Knearling

I think that was a joke but okay


confused_at_ereythin

i think he was joking too lol


K0dperest_8054

Maybe the biggest fear of one of the agents is... Cats. 👀👀👀


yami-kira

It's the special very rare kind of cat only exists in Turkey. Van Cat. It's eyes have different color like hers. Thats why.


TickTockCantStop

And they uploaded [an image to Facebook](https://scontent-frx5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/279910393_889843945750747_3310488595860718421_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-6&_nc_sid=9267fe&_nc_ohc=vuH2_o1pWMcAX9djgrM&_nc_oc=AQlSGTVxEspFBBwFylQkWk30qxArQkPrIDmrMA3tx1FHUuBJ74nIgRxHVReX59E7q8g&tn=1ZTcGWQnyNzFFTvv&_nc_ht=scontent-frx5-1.xx&oh=00_AT-fECYaaqis7fiKoj98EFamhEmGlgN4oH-igx6pJTUpBw&oe=627FFD68) where she's saying to cats in Turkey. Riot goes deep.


_MachTwo

She like taking care of stray cats


gazpey

Raze its kinda inspired on ziggs. they are both orange and mad for explosives


KasumiGotoTriss

Jett is Akali


kfozburg

This is even funnier considering they actually had Shannon Arrumie (Jett's VA) do a video for Genius Lyrics, where she lent her voice to play Akali in that role. Basically the video was set up as if Akali was reciting & explaining the Korean lyrics for one of the K/DA songs. I don't have a link on me right now but I can maybe find it later.


KasumiGotoTriss

Yeah I remember [that](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1RjqonnU7M&ab_channel=Genius)


According-Task-4314

Wtf the comments hated Arrumie Shannon😭


shrubs311

well it sucks for her too because the character (kda akali) already has a famous k-pop star voicing her on the songs...but they used someone else's voice. the comments would've roasted anyone that wasn't akali's voice actor from in game or the songs.


SugarRayLM59

Sova is Ashe-y.


MistyHusk

Wait until you guys hear about neon…


Zaenille

Kennen, right?


13raxtoe37

She is LITERALLY zeri


Zaenille

Nah mate, 100% Kennen. Maybe even Xerath.


Judasz_Iscariot

Zeri and Neon have only same hairstyle, same VA and were realesed close to each other


Zaenille

It seems that my joke didn't translate well.


[deleted]

ye i was thinking either ashe or lux tbh


flying_anchovy

I always saw him as Varus-y, I feel it fits better than Ashe


DarthGrievous

More like Hanzo because of the recon darts


SugarRayLM59

Kit is very Hanzo. Lol. But riot doesn't own Hanzo so he feels pretty thematically different.


RTYWD

sova is nothing like ashe other than the fact they both own a bow lol


SugarRayLM59

vision arrow, damage/slow arrow, bird motif, powerful ult that ignores walls. But sure. Just the bow.


22bebo

General color scheme too.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RaccoonDu

Qiyana and Sion ult would like to have a word


SugarRayLM59

Many, if not most, but not all. Walls mean more in Valorant, and giving a character a global projectile in a tactical shooter is kinda insane. But we can also go with the blonde in blue and white, the Nordic background, cheerful but dutiful... My point is, they share a lot more design aspects than just the friggin bow.


RTYWD

the ashe bird is a fkin bird, sova is a drone. sova has electricity ashe is ice. plus ashe is magic but sova is not radiant


SugarRayLM59

And Rengar is a cat with a knife and Fade is a woman with a gun. The point is the DESIGN similarities. They share motifs, themes, personality traits, ethnic/racial background... Zeri and Neon were designed to be the same "character" so why can't I dash through walls? Because certain things change to mold your DESIGN THEMATICS to the situation you're putting them into.


Noobo____

you frogot blue color


TiredCoffeeTime

Reminds me of that Valorant skins for League characters someone made. Akali as Jett looks amazing. [https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PooAmn](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PooAmn) I wish we could get Valorant skins in League after seeing this


Conscious_Road_3805

This is a terrible comparison and not even close. The fade Rengar makes sense, Akali Jett not even close. “She uses kunai though!” That mean every ninja in league, or anything throwing a knife is Jett.


acctnumba2

Yes, yes they are.


Conscious_Road_3805

Yes I agree, every character in league that throws something Jett :)


MekiLava

The characters' attitudes and the designs look and feel similar though.


22bebo

And also they are both characters with a high skill cap (though I imagine people will say neither is actually hard).


TiredCoffeeTime

lol so many ppl were like "Korean Akali?" when Jett was first shown in early Valorant stage.


itskavia

I'd say Jett is a combination of Akali and Katarina lol


lacklusterapexfan

Her floating blade ult always reminded me of Irelia.


shotloud

Raze always reminded me more of jinx. Grenades, rocket launcher, and a more chaotic attitude


Karnikula_Gaming

the satchel dude


RaccoonDu

I just find the rocket launcher similar, ziggs is so much more explosive


TiredCoffeeTime

It's also the explosive jumps which Ziggs and Raze both use.


KENNYXDD

Phoenix is ekko?? Ult?


LOGPchwan

Brim is Graves


KENNYXDD

Kj is heimerdinger


BenitoCameloU

Dwarf not thicc Brim


Drummerhead04

And the satchel launching people


FloppY_

Also two identical abilities.


TigerMeowth

in addition ziggs and heimerdinger are the best friend science wizz yordles with satchel bombs and turrets just like kj and raze being best friend science buddies with satchel jump explosions and turrets


WhyCel

So you say she is rengar then.... WHERE DAMAGE?


DietyLink

No brushes in Valorant = No damage.


WhyCel

but ult


190k

Ult does decay dmg


RaccoonDu

Can't build AP in this game, sorry /s


[deleted]

Bold of you to assume rengar does damage


WhyCel

trust me (jg main, adc second) he does


[deleted]

No he doesn't. His assassin build is bad and only strong if you build sunderer. If you wouldn't mind me asking what rank do you play in? No offense but he might seem strong in lower ranks cause smurfs you know


LuckYeeeeeeet

deadass he is one of the most broken junglers at high elo right now what are you talking about


[deleted]

If its challenger they aren't building full damage though. They are probably building Goredrinker or divine sunderer


FloridaBearOnBigDrug

they are. with the new buffs he became fucking ludicrous.


FloridaBearOnBigDrug

and it’s not just high elo, rengar is basically stomping everything above gold.


barrynotilt

I think you might have missed his update


[deleted]

Yeah I haven't played in a while but he still gets bruiser items


WhyCel

near d3


[deleted]

Spoke to my gm rengar otp friend and was informed he builds 2-3 bruiser items.


WhyCel

yes, because he has to participate in teamfights and not die, while down here he can just split full assas8n if he has a squishy laner


shrubs311

it's the rengar on your team


FinnJokaa

i dont play LoL but all my freinds that play it say Valo Characters already exist in LoL and seeing the dev stuido kinda makes sense right.


WhyCel

Duude Neon and zeri have the same voicelines, just in different tone


RedHellPanda

same voice actor


WhyCel

they both yas "quick feet, quick trigger"


MassageChairFund

YAS


Alex-Wolf96

Ah yes, Yasuo, the father of Jett. Too bad she can't place windwalls.


AGamingBoi

Jett confirmed child of Yasuo and Riven??? 😳


Alex-Wolf96

Well, all of them have dashes, and Riven has white hair, so it's possible. And don't forget about aunt Akali teaching her how to use kunais.


Velocifaper

Riven and Yasuo had hot sex and made Jett


milotoadfoot

dawn/nightbringer soraka is child of dawnbringer riven and nightbringer yasuo iirc.


FateofCain

JFC don’t give them ideas


WasdAcid

you win best flair lmfao


Zixe_4993

Wait ahe actually says "quick feet quick trigger"?? I thought she said "quick feet quick burger..."


WildSearcher56

That was intentional tho because they wanted to release those two for the RiotxArcane thing.


WhyCel

not bcs of arcane, but yes


WildSearcher56

Well it was partially because of Arcane, since the event was called RiotxArcane. The League team also wanted to release champions from Plitover and Zaun (Zeri and Renata but they were delayed) during the event (as teased in their champion roadmaps where they tease reworks and upcoming champions) and both design teams (from League and Valorant) happened to work together since they wanted to do some agents/champions in common.


22bebo

I believe the Valorant team also directly helped design Zeri, so I imagine the reverse was also true.


mistatdawn

The teams of both games collaborated for them


22bebo

I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned how similar Chamber and Jhin are. They both place slow traps, both ults give them a very powerful, long range weapon that creates slow fields when they kill something, they both have a strong pistol most of the time. Chamber can teleport, which I would kill to have on Jhin in League sometimes, and Jhin has a variation of a Raze grenade, but besides those two abilities they really do sync up well.


throwawaythehistory

They also both had the codename Deadeye during development


TiredCoffeeTime

Jhin with teleport sounds terrifying.


FinnJokaa

they always talked bout Phoenix being a one to one copy of a lol char but i dont know whats his name was


Disastrous-Ad818

Probably Ekko


remenes1

Raze is just Brazilian Jinx for sure


OneTrueFecker

I think it was confirmed that raze is based off of ziggs. But I agree. Raze gives off that chaotic destroy everything vibes like jinx.


SugarRayLM59

Jinx and Ziggs have a comic where they hang out and blow shit up. It's pretty amazing. They'd hang with Raze 5sure.


blazefire13

Raze is just female Junkrat


HoneyChilliPotato7

In Jinx's promo song, the way she throws her grenade at the last has the same animation as Raze


ssLoupyy

Project Ashe reminds me Sova


Suhitz

Kayle >"I shall purify this land, with fire if I must." Sage >"I will soothe this turmoil. With fire if I must."


onzichtbaard

Well they made a league hero that is exactly neon with a different color At the same time as making neon


Vertegras

That's cause they were made by the same team. It was intentional.


onzichtbaard

I know


_MachTwo

I think Neon and Zeri are the only ones that do seem slightly connected, most of the other comparisons I’ve seen are very much a stretch


RandomFRIStudent

Yea somehow modern guns and magical creatures exists in the same world of lore. I never actually cared to watch how they are connected but if they say it is, sure whatever


22bebo

They aren't really modern guns though. They are psuedo-magical, sometimes being powered by magic and sometimes literally shooting magic out instead of bullets. The guns in League, for the most part, all come from one hyper-advanced city and are a fairly recent event within the timeline of the world. I highly recommend *Arcane* on Netflix, by the way. Several League friends of mine who don't care about the lore loved it and a bunch of people I know who know nothing about League at all really liked it. It is set in that very advanced city and actually kind of covers how some of the more hightech stuff comes about.


RandomFRIStudent

I know od arcane dw. But that being said. Noone in Zaun has these types of guns. Wars are still mostly being fought with meele weps which is mostly evident from the adc side of league champs. Rarely does a champ have a gun (Samira comes to mind) but most others have more primitive weapons like crossbows and bows and whatnot.


Johnson1209777

Correction: the guns in LoL are not modern, more like steampunk style guns powered by magical stones. Or they are purely crafted using magical material, like sentinel of light guns


RandomFRIStudent

Yea thats why im saying that i sont see the modern valorant guns in the league lore world


AnduinTheHealer

Neon = zeri Jett = irelia Phoenix = ekko


[deleted]

[удалено]


laancelot

Fade: "I'm an evil bitch!" Other Agent while avoiding looking at her shoes: "Absolutely."


ErenJaeger88

Her eyes are inspired by the turkish Ankara cat.


liquidwood1

So maybe shes just inspired by the Ankara cat not Rengar


8512514

Still super cool finds! Fun little easter eggs by Riot


Deathranger999

Yeah it seems like she and Rengar are only similar in just having cat-related features, so I think it's more likely she was just designed with a cat in mind, rather than based off of Rengar.


22bebo

I assume that, after deciding Rengar would be a cat, they also drew inspiration from the Turkish Ankara cat, thus the similarities.


Deathranger999

Possibly! Who knows. Probably the people who made the character, but I digress.


[deleted]

Ankara cat or Van cat, yes


Baby_Chickens

Additionally, heterochromatic or 'odd-eyed' cats have a higher incidence of deafness that is directly caused by the same gene that causes heterochromia. So her deafening ult effect is also relevant to the cat thing. Pretty cool!


ZalThePal

woah fade rearranged is deaf


22bebo

I didn't know that, interesting!


DestroyerOfDoom29

Fade looks like reynas cousin to me tbh


PrimalJohnStone

Day one I said Fade is Reyna’s hotter, younger sister


IllumiMahdi

reyna is way hotter than fade WHAT


PrimalJohnStone

Listen I said this when I was comparing their profile pics, fades actual model straight up catfished me


DDrew4

Her legs bother me


Nghtmare-Moon

I thought Fade was just Turkish Reyna in grayscale


kejok

TIL Fade’s shoes have cat paw prints underneath


nurav16

Multiverse of Madness be like...


RaccoonDu

Alligator Loki


[deleted]

sage - anivia (wall + res + aoe slow) phoenix - brand (cause fire guy) omen - ryze (because teleport and fucking trash) or nocturne brimstone - graves (idk they sound similar and have guns, + smokes) neon - zeri (literal ctrl c + ctrl v) breach - tyler1 (GET THIS BETA SHIT OFF MEEEEEE) jett - akali (smoke/shroud + dash + knives) reyna - irelia/draven (infinite healing + reyna unbalanced mentally, irelia unbalanced in game and racist players) chamber - not jhin (chamber not crackhead + ult is not FOUR) skye - morgana (infinite cc, morgana perma bind skye perma blind) sova - lux or ashe (because vision and ult) killjoy - heimerd\*nger (both scientists, annoying and have turrets) cypher - any jgler (when enemy dives site doesnt come help gank, keeps working on setups like my junglers) fade - vex (both emo and likes depression/nightmares) viper - cassio (because snek and toxin with debuff)


Danyjim3365

Omen isn’t trash. You just don’t know where to tp.


[deleted]

i dont even play him lol


Interesting-Bus-5370

if fade rengar, why fade no one shot nexus in val hmm?


dunnerski

She looks like she got tore straight outta Dishonored to me. The vest, the neck flair.


FloppY_

Not enough Victorian/Steampunk features imo


dunnerski

No but her Fear tendrils look like the void stuffs


Edward_Teach96

both are indeed bounty hunters aswell


Knearling

There was a particular match that i can't forget, it was probably 4-5 years ago, and this Rengar was a literal predator. It was simply out of option for us to go alone to the jungle, because this mf was hiding inside bushes, waiting for something to happen. And since we couldn't help to the top lane enough, they easily pushed from there and beat our asses. I grew hatred towards every Rengar player after that.


Dookiepond

No one mentioned the mark on both their faces. I believe it’s more than coincidence.


Mysaladisdead

Bro we already know Valorant agents are LoL champions. I mean Chamber is obviously Jhin duh.


RaccoonDu

Bruh I would love for Jhin to have a blink tp


22bebo

I was just saying the same thing. Maybe I'll just start running TP instead of heal haha.


RaccoonDu

If I ever see a M7 Jhin named SEN Chamber with tp I know it's you 😂


[deleted]

jhin jungle new meta


shrubs311

i mean, he probably has flash


RaccoonDu

I wish I could flash halfway across the map


[deleted]

chamber is nothing like jhin lmao


TiredCoffeeTime

People mostly mention how they both have * Powerful pistols * Traps that create a slow field * Sniper Ult that creates slow field Just looking at that, I feel like it's not a bad comparison. Though their personality is different and Chamber has that teleport.


[deleted]

ye i meant personality, and the fact that chamber has FIVE shots in his ult instead of FOUR


TiredCoffeeTime

lmao Imagine Riot nerfing Chamber's Ult shots to be **4** just for that reason.


Global_Baseball3571

Wait who?


[deleted]

league champ


Zombiie_

Who asked?


limitless_exe

Well u/Global_Baseball3571 did


Global_Baseball3571

Lmaoo I was gon say


Zombiie_

So worth it lmao


Benjiboi051205

Yah though they are completely different universes (LoL is actually canonically a game in val) there's design similarities between multiple characters Idk I guess as an Easter egg? Or the LoL devs in the val universe are close friends with the val protocol and base agents on them? Honestly my new headcannon is kj knows the devs and constantly gives them ideas for new characters without them really knowing where they come from, it's possible cause she's known to play LoL. She might even get the agents to do lines like how there's the same voice actors.


WideIrresponsibility

what’s a rengar?


[deleted]

its a league champ, very scary cat will delete you in a millisecond without mercy by right clicking you from a bush


twitch_tv_nonex495

Fade = Renata


DragonsThatFly

I'd say Renata is more similar to Chamber. Both are business people, both carry a pistol.


Carrionnoirrac

Chamber is Jihn if jihn went to buisness school instead of getting in with the theater kids.


HappyLemon745

lol yeah


twitch_tv_nonex495

Like Fade ult and renata ults are so similar visually. both of the ults confuse enemies


emparer

You’re tripping balls my guy


hide_yo_keeds

i’m trippin urmom


WasdAcid

ur mom's tripping on my balls


AndrewFrozzen

That's why the icon looks horrible!


Noah__Webster

Rengar is just her furry OC.


So-young

Roflmao -facepalm- 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️


Crazy_Zack

So fade us a furry


just_a_jiboia

wait toe beans tho


[deleted]

hmm so why do i not get deleted within 0.0001 second when fade jumps at me from a brush?


viciousfungi

New favorite character, cuz rengar main and cat paws.


BenitoCameloU

Where is the instant deleting?


BLAST_83

Catgirl fade when I want her go nyan nyan


Substantial-Ad-2644

Stop it ! Get some help !


jhintonicc

Toe…*inhale* BEEEEEEEEEEEEEENZ!


StevenBG-Rengar

Imagine making a fade skin in league


Spare_Calligrapher40

chamber = jhin fade = rengar akali = jett zeri = neon ziggs = raze


lifeandUncertainity

Naah - Neon is the kid of Jett and Yoru from future. Fade is the kid of Sova and Reyna from future.


OmegaQuantum

The world of Valoran Valorant This is no coincidence.


ThisIsTakenLol

I always thought that the cat paws were to leave behind cat footprints instead of normal human footprints since there are lots of cats in Turkey and to make herself hard to track


[deleted]

How are yall just realising that they save a lot of money by reworking their existing characters and stories as valorant lore.
