Valorant has started this trend where a major patch also brings in a new agent. The trend is followed since the launch of Agent 12, Raze.
But, with the current popularity reaching new heights for Valorant, this is “make it or break it” time. With the introduction of Valorant Protocol to the mix, we expect heavy changes.
With the current status of leaks, it is difficult to put a bead on Agent class. However, the player base expects an Initiator agent.
Chamber and Patch 3.10 are quite a move forward. Sun Tzu would acknowledge Riot’s take on “Offense is the Best Defense”.

The card above reveals the quantum 8 traced within the middle of the cardboard. Done using the electricity, it points towards the agent number.
This incident traces back to the onset of Valorant release. Then, the sanctioned agent list still has the 8th agent place missing.
While this missing agent scene was delved, Riot instantly replied. They said he is going to be “ back as soon as he returns”. Therefore, inferring he is absent from the Riot metaverse for now.
Thus, we eagerly await the next Sprinter Valorant leaks.
