THE AGENT IS NOT CONFIRMED, They were creating an agent and they had multiple concepts. You can see in-game that the scroll bar is long, and the one in the video is shorter. That means they were testing multiple agents.

The only reason I like phantom buff is not phantom buff itself, but rather the skins we will get out of it. People will start using it more so more people will want phantoms skins. Now we will get actually cool phantoms that doesnt sound like ass (seriously vandal sfx sounds so good and it changes so much from the base skin)

If anyone else is confused on the explaining in this video, let me clear a bit of the mistakes up, 1:05, this is definitely a game changer but he’s explaining it weird, every shield blocks 100% of ITS HEALTH, but heavy shield and light shield let a certain percentage of damage through. Kinda like body armor, the bullet still hits you and deals damage but doesn’t killl you. The new regen shield is like a forcefield blocking 100% of 25 damage and not letting any percentage through. Also the regen shield heals two times meaning it starts with 25, heals to 25 after damaged and does that again. So 75 total shield through intervals 6:37, you can double flash as phoenix if you buy the ability, one flash comes free every round, I think he knows this but he explained it weird 9:58, he says phantom bulet got buffed at every single range, but he misspoke he meant it does 4 extra dmg 20m+ Less than 20m stays at 39dmg to the body I understand it now 👍
You know whats crazy? That the low taper fade, like meme is still massive MASSIVE like I see new tiktoks on my for you that I have never seen before get like MILLIONS of views
one of the main designers said that the icon for this new agent has nothing to do with the actual new agent. they said that they have a lot of test asset icons that they use, and this just happened to be shown. it has nothing to do with the next agent
W Patch! What I wish for the future is a constant spray pattern for the Vandal. I have no worries with a difficult one - but please make sprays constant like in CS and not totally random. Make them skill based, not luck based. It's impossible to constantly do a nice spray down and actually hit like intended - sometimes you just casually drip drop the headshots on 2 different opps and sometimes you don't hit 20+ bullets on your specific target while pulling the Vandal down and trying an CS alike spraydown.
this is never going to happen, it is very much so on purpose that it becomes random; it encourages more calm and collected bursting and strafing rather than crouch spray. if youre shooting 20+ bullets on your specific target while pulling the vandal down and trying an cs alike spraydown youre not playing the game the way its meant to be played
@@AZ-wc5ot yeah exactly. as a valorant player playing CS, it feels like players over-use the fixed spray patterns in this game, but in reality it's because its just such a HUGE mechanic. Having that in valorant would completely change up how fights would look. I would hate if they changed anything in that area, because I've already worked so much on my movement that it would be a bit of a waste to have that over-shadowed by something like this where crouching would become the prevalent way to "move" in gunfights.
the regen shield kinda nerfs healing because before, you could have quite a bit of shield left after getting healed by sage or skye, like around 15-20 shield HP, now you'd have to have 0 shields before being able to heal
I was hoping that they'd add the crunching sound when people run on Sage's Slow Orb even if they walk. That's a small quality of life for Sage who doesn't have that much guard ability.
Regen shield looks pretty op. Just a much better half armor. Heavy shield is really more useless now except if you know the enemy is really using outlaw or guardian. But people rarely use those
Phantom makes the shield useless compared to heavy at any range where it doesn't one tap which got buffed but still heavy will stop you from dieing at a long distance phantom shot
I think its only good for pistol round. The rest not really. Theres outlaw, phantom, vandal, even 2 shots of guardian which really couldnt make it as viable.
You can still place open smoke anywhere a player model can stand, you can still make 1-ways but a character must be able to stand where you place it in order for it to hold
7:31 I hope, Deadlock trap can do it too. Right now, Neon and Jett can just run trough and can they can get a kill before trap hit them. They are only agents who don't care about traps. They run trough like a juggernaut, this is stupid af at the moment.
Chamber trap range is ridicilous, i mean let bro watch lurk he only had 1 trap, and 30 seconds is too mutch for trap, 15 or 20 seconds is enough for trap. And op should hit 150 on feet because after collecting 8 orbs, you finally open your ult and Iso puts you in his ult or rush you like crazy with shield, Kayo opens ult or uses his knife and when monkeys see you, they don't come across you without jump peeking
@@gaethjeval While I agree his range should be upgraded, increasing his op dmg to 150 on feet is unnecessary, its counterplay is decent but it still puts high pressure on your opponent. Its ult cost isnt too high, i would say its a skill issue
According to what I understood from the patch notes, omen now can only place smokes in places he himself can stand on, so some smokes that were placed in glitch zones can still be used
The way that omen's smoke work now, basically you can only place your smoke (the triangle indicator) on area that player can step on to. You still can place the smoke in certain box like in the spike site, because any agent with traversal ability (jett, raze, etc) can step into that place.
when it comes to omen, i think these nerfs will encourage a flexinja game style which is one of the most fun ways of playing omen so i really cant complain.
Lmao at the term "God trips". It is a "tactical" shooter. Using "god trips" is a tactic, no? You want to countet it? Come up with counter play. I.E. raze, sova etc. It's part of the game. Don't spoon feed retired pros turned streamers because they whined about it. (Tenz calling you out). Not to mention there were only 2 maps in which "God trips" were viable. Ascent A site and sunset B site. They changed Sunset to deal with it. That only leaves Ascent A site.
@@fyreleya3005 the issue is you dont know what they're picking. It's stupid that the game can effectively be decided before it's even started just bcuz you don't have a way to break an op util piece, which no other agent has anything near as strong other than the neon slide
keep in mind sage ult got double buffed, it's not just the ult points but also the fact that when you get revived with regen shield you're able to get your shields back which is huge
Regen shield might start a meta of force buying second rounds to the losing side. I feel like this will happen in the pro scene especially, which is gonna be real interesting
I like what they did with the run and gun changes. The spectre and stingers being specialized for run and gun instead is excellent. I feel like they are struggling with the Neon balance because it's more of a chaos issue than anything else. The 100% slide is definitely OP but it's a questionable issue since higher elo can deal with it but it also requires a lot of practice to pull off (for neon users).
@@scoot5642 Astra is just bad in comparison to other controllers (minus very specific use cases). Omen didn't need nerfed when he's balanced against other smokes.
@@marcsfat u don’t really compare it to agents. for example, brim, harbor, and viper is better on bind (maybe heaven and icebox) while omen, astra and clove controls ascent and lotus. (3 vs 2 smokes maps). but if we go with all agents, rank- clove, omen, viper, brim, astra, harbor pro- omen, viper, astra, brim, harbor (if breeze counts), then clove as u can see, omen is insane BUT it’s bc of his paranoia not his one ways :/ i don’t like it cuz it makes omen unique
His one ways restrict map design way too much. If a certain choke had a certain nook THATS IT LADS OMEN META ON THIS ONE. Its so lame, especially since its not wuite skillful either nor does it make thematic sense "oh hang on guys let me just... oh no thats the wrong pixel oooo"
I dont remember the last time when Riot buffed agents by reducing ult points needed for ultimates OR when they swapped the place of agent’s free abilities.
idk if im the only one to think abt this phoenix buff but WHY did they have to swap the location of the spell on the HUD, just keep them where they should be, just thinking about having to use flash with another bind feels so wrong , same goes for the molly
so, u want them to change default position HUD between signature and Q just for phoenix specifically ? also, u can just change that bind on settings !?
@ilzafadilatulhaq1780 i understand we can change the bind, but if what they just wanted to do was to make phoenix signature spell his flash instead of the molly, why even swap the position of the spells, its so unnecessary
@@thadark I think you can change binds for abilities per agent so it's okay. Just going to need to adjust on visual memory of the ability charges. What I'd like to change is his Ult, I hope they let us cancel it on our own just to avoid getting outplayed, let's say, on a 1v1 situation.
this is great for sage and pheonix, definitely feel like the older agents needed a buff. i'd love to see their agent select screen animations buffed as well.
i think the new agent will be kingdom related because there is a raze voiceline ("Brimstone, that bracer has access to the Kingdom mainframe, yeah? Just asking for a friend.") I mean almost all are kingdom related lmao
bro i hope they keep doing this or just changing the game massively every act or season or what ever idk just do something like this patch, not like a new gun or something just new balance shit or interactions like the slowed dash thing
no, he just means regen shield absorb 100% of damage UNTIL it runs out, rather than normal shields that split the damage 66% to normal shields, 33% to health.
im really happy that theyre nerfing the accuracy while moving. its actually so annoying dying to people who dont want to actually learn to properly aim and just run and gun for luck.
Ngl I want a pixelgun 3d / doom eternal/ ultrakill style valorant where you can category spam and don't lose accuracy while moving ( I know it doesn't work for the current valorant cuz of its machine gun centred ) But it's just exhilarating to rocket through the map and have your movement and extremely quick aiming be the key factors. Valorant scratches a different itch with its more tactical play, but a guy can dream about both combined
Run' gun does take tracking skill to consistently accomplish. Movement error applies in a cone, so as long as the majority of the cone is on target, it is actually pretty likely to hit the target. Also valorant has much more input movement error than momentum movement error, which can lead to confusion about run' gun
Unfortunately the agent part was confirmed as not a leak and rather a test asset. Which is something they use a lot when testing patches. So no agent tease this time.
This is why i dont think regen shield will be THAT op as you know its basically a light shield that heals 25 everytime you take damage assuming all enemy have a vandal and you run away from an enemy before taking a bullet to the body 25 | 100 (INDICATING HP) 0 | 85 1 bullet 25 | 85 (still takes 3 bullets to kill an enemy)(adds up to 110) 0 | 70 1bullet 25 | 70 (adds up to 85) (can take 3 bullets) This is the last regen shield and only then does the shield really matter assuming you can even escape from the enemies while only getting a bullet to your body
its basically good for chip damage. if you only get hit by one of the small nades on raze you'll still be at max light shields etc and it can last quite a few rounds
just played the new update had an entirely new experience, though as a phoenix main, i had to change my control layout to bring back the flash on same buttons
i love how theyre adding new content to the game now, first it was the outlaw now the regen shields before that it was basically the same thing for a while and that was starting to get stale.
I feel like the smoke change is pretty useless unless you’re legitimately deaf which then makes this good cause there’s a loud ass audio sound as the smoke dismisses

@ilzafadilatulhaq1780 i understand we can change the bind, but if what they just wanted to do was to make phoenix signature spell his flash instead of the molly, why even swap the position of the spells, its so unnecessary
@@thadark I think you can change binds for abilities per agent so it's okay. Just going to need to adjust on visual memory of the ability charges. What I'd like to change is his Ult, I hope they let us cancel it on our own just to avoid getting outplayed, let's say, on a 1v1 situation.
this is great for sage and pheonix, definitely feel like the older agents needed a buff. i'd love to see their agent select screen animations buffed as well.
I main viper, she gets nerfed
I main raze, she gets nerfed
I main omen, he gets nerfed as well
Wth is happening 😭
you play very good character
very good character gets nerf
you sad now
@linkplays2952 true 😭
i think the new agent will be kingdom related because there is a raze voiceline ("Brimstone, that bracer has access to the Kingdom mainframe, yeah? Just asking for a friend.") I mean almost all are kingdom related lmao
bro i hope they keep doing this or just changing the game massively every act or season or what ever idk just do something like this patch, not like a new gun or something just new balance shit or interactions like the slowed dash thing
Im wondering how the new shields will interact with overheal
regen sheild should just be an ability on iso instead
that supposed leaked agent image is the old model of killjoy, it's just there as a place holder
wait wait wait so Iso can now tank 3 headshot from vandal
no, he just means regen shield absorb 100% of damage UNTIL it runs out, rather than normal shields that split the damage 66% to normal shields, 33% to health.
I mean the only thing about the regen shield it’s that it regens it will still take the same 125 to kill the regen is actually crazy tho
im really happy that theyre nerfing the accuracy while moving. its actually so annoying dying to people who dont want to actually learn to properly aim and just run and gun for luck.
Ngl I want a pixelgun 3d / doom eternal/ ultrakill style valorant where you can category spam and don't lose accuracy while moving ( I know it doesn't work for the current valorant cuz of its machine gun centred )
But it's just exhilarating to rocket through the map and have your movement and extremely quick aiming be the key factors.
Valorant scratches a different itch with its more tactical play, but a guy can dream about both combined
Run' gun does take tracking skill to consistently accomplish. Movement error applies in a cone, so as long as the majority of the cone is on target, it is actually pretty likely to hit the target.
Also valorant has much more input movement error than momentum movement error, which can lead to confusion about run' gun
@@musicaltarrasque very minimal tracking skill lol.
I was just in a game it was horrible. Got killed by people running around with vandals across the map and head tapping me.
then they buff the phantom.. which is the most no skill gun to ever exist.
Crouch walking with a sherif used to be very accurate before this update
The new shield is also an indirect phantom buff, so phantom gonna be crazy
don;t forget the sunset lighting that flashbanged me for 40 minutes
Unfortunately the agent part was confirmed as not a leak and rather a test asset. Which is something they use a lot when testing patches. So no agent tease this time.
omen one way smokes were a great playmaking tool, and very unique, probably gonna get reverted as his last butchering nerfs back in the days
This is why i dont think regen shield will be THAT op
as you know its basically a light shield that heals 25 everytime you take damage
assuming all enemy have a vandal and you run away from an enemy before taking a bullet to the body
25 | 100 (INDICATING HP)
0 | 85 1 bullet
25 | 85 (still takes 3 bullets to kill an enemy)(adds up to 110)
0 | 70 1bullet
25 | 70 (adds up to 85) (can take 3 bullets)
This is the last regen shield and only then does the shield really matter assuming you can even escape from the enemies while only getting a bullet to your body
its basically good for chip damage. if you only get hit by one of the small nades on raze you'll still be at max light shields etc
and it can last quite a few rounds
So we also have a name range for the new agent, they're between neon and omen so their name can only start with N or O
the changes may be massiv , but u know what else is massiv?
Cheers for the rundown!
just played the new update had an entirely new experience, though as a phoenix main, i had to change my control layout to bring back the flash on same buttons
That new shield will be really powerful for Iso because Iso also has that same feature but mostly different so he will be 2x shield
You forgot the sunset change as well, it looks a lot better now actually
“Would you like fries with that?” ahh agent
i love how theyre adding new content to the game now, first it was the outlaw now the regen shields before that it was basically the same thing for a while and that was starting to get stale.
The fact that they made the Regen shield have 100% damage absorption is probably the one thing that makes it viable instead of just a gimmick imo
Phantom gang!
Goat! Thank you for the support
The regen shield discourages slower chip based play from Attackers. Along with the Phantom Buff it messes with the Vandal Half Shield Meta
stinger and regen armour on the second round gonna go crazy
Yo @Dittozkul I watched 16x more video then the average people (what the RUclips says) this make me the top 0.5% fan❤
I might gift my (whole) soul to Riot again.
You can still double flash immediately? 6:45
the omen nerfs just takes out the quirkines of omen and the skill ceiling
I feel like the smoke change is pretty useless unless you’re legitimately deaf which then makes this good cause there’s a loud ass audio sound as the smoke dismisses
