On the official Twitter, Riot Games issued new announcements about the Deadeye agent. In the past 2 months, Deadeye is the focus of attention when he is the 17th agent of the Valorant game after Kay/O. Specifically, Deadeye is an agent from France, and the role of Deadeye is a guard rather than a gunman confronting like many previous rumors.
Deadee will be the fourth guards in Valorant after Sage, CYPHER and KILLJOY. Theoretically, guards are the position and responsibility similar to support in MOBA games. Accordingly, the agents carrying the guards own the skill set to maximize the defense to protect their area and repel the opponent's attacks.
However, in contrast to Sage, CYPHER and KILLJOY, Deadeye's skill set focuses heavily on the ability to fight instead of launching tactics. In addition, the appearance of the agent from France is said to be very similar to the general Jhin of League. The coincidence is that Deadeye's agent designer is August who also participated in Jhin design.
Thus, after launching a confrontation agent and an agent, Riot Games created a balance when helping the guards to have one more member, Deadee. In the Valorant game, there are 4 main agent groups that are confrontation, control, start and guard. In particular, the confrontation is the group with the most agents with 5 names Jett, Phoenix, Reyna, Raze and Yoru.
Right after being agents to start with Breach, Skye, Sova and Kay/O. Control agents also have 4 members, Viper, Omen, Astra and Brimstone. With the introduction of Deadeye on a simple gun mechanism, Riot Games is looking to create a new wind about the gameplay when Valorant is still a game that depends heavily on the skill set of the agents.
