“They straight up gutted…”: Valorant’s Unfair and Unnecessary Nerfing of Two Agents Makes Them Nigh on Unplayable

One of the many reasons for this huge player base of Valorant is the diverse agent roster. As of now, the game features a total of 25 agents (one being unknown) scattered across four different categories. Now the 26th agent is knocking on the door to join the roster.
Riot’s aim has always been to maintain a balance among the agents so that one single character doesn’t get overpowered. However, sometimes some agents have to sacrifice a lot more to maintain this stability.
