September's post talked about the different lenses that the developers use to:"...drive balance changes, with special focus on player perceptions of our Agents, and how we factor perception with the information we get from quantitative sources like win and pick rates."Along with that, players also got a tease for the next Agent. Notably, the blog post ended with the line:"Jald hi milte hain." This message roughly translates to "see you soon."Valorant's Agent 21 is "almost ready to go out" and will be a controllerJohn Goscicki, the Senior Character Producer on the FPS for Riot, shared some tidbits regarding Agent 21. He first mentioned that the game has evolved through "shifting metas, new maps, and an increase in general game knowledge." Developers are always trying to identify new opportunities for Agents nearly a year ahead of time.ValorIntel@ValorINTELVALORANT have revealed that Agent 21 will be a Controller in their recent "State of the Agents"144172VALORANT have revealed that Agent 21 will be a Controller in their recent "State of the Agents" https://t.co/OQUVLWmr8PThey have noted that there is a scarcity of Controllers on the roster and that other than Viper, there is a "blue ocean of opportunity" to introduce Controllers who "can cover large open areas." Other than the cheeky water-based words and phrases, which refer to Mage's leaked link with water, Agent 21 is surely going to fill this gap that John mentions.Goscicki concluded by stating that Agent 21 is "almost ready to go out" and that he did not want to flood everyone with any more information. Players will likely get more updates in the next few weeks. Valorant Champions 2022's final could also be the perfect stage for that.The upcoming AgentIt has already been leaked that the upcoming Agent will be of Indian origin and likely the character of Varun Batra.
