New agent idea

1235

Agent base, soldier from pre ww1, prefers his old guns over New ones

Signature ability, the musket, has a musket which is basically an opportunity but with iron sites and you must hold it in your hand for 15 seconds to shoot it again

C ability, smoke grenade, throws a grenade which does 10 damage but smokes off an area

X ability, equips a helmet which protects him from dying from 1 headshot after shot, it breaks

Ultimate, sub machine gun, shoots at 20 rounds per second with 50 rounds and 1 extra reload, 36 leg, 60 body , and 84 head, no damage drop off and very tight grouping.

The signature ability seems pretty weak-what do you mean by an "oppertunity?" 15 seconds is a long time when a round is only like 2- minutes, and you can't even aim properly with a musket because it has a smooth barrel, so nobody would wanna use that signature ability. The Ult is I think a viable gun, with its speed compensating for its reduced damage, but what about it makes it unique in the context of an ult, and why would people pick that over another gun? The smokes is pretty unoriginal, except for the part where it does damage, but is still useful in a match, and also I have a question: does the helmet completely negate damage from the 1 shot? Or does it only reduce the damage, like if the headshot still does a lot of damage, would it reduce to 1 or something? Also it's kinda funny because I just noticed: the Valorant agents would wear the absolute worst outfits for getting into firefights on a daily basis-no wonder they die in 1 hit (I can never kill them in one hit tho)-wearing some armor might not actually be a bad idea, but rule of cool, I guess. I'm pretty sure the ult is enitehr gonna be next-to-useless or very overpowred-depending on the skill of the player.) You have a pretty neat idea, but I wonder how this will fit into the Valorant lore and world, or would (perhaps?) break the player's immersion? The whole premise of Valorant is supposed to over-the-top and unrealistic, how would a historical pre-WWI soldier who doesn't like the new technology and the radianite-powered everything, fit into the futuristic world or the Protocol? I know that with a bit of creativity and imagination (which I know you already have), you can definitely get this to all work and make sense in-game, and all in all, I think this agent is a cool concept, that can definitely be viable in battle (if you buff the signature ability a bit) and he probably needs a cool backstory-like maybe got time-traveled into the future or something. The Valorant Protocol is full of fantasy superheroes, so having a relative-realist on the team would definitely add another layer of complexity to the game world and the lore, and I think this character would be quite interesting to explore.
