Remember that "peak VALORANT" meme a while back, showing a pro match on Pearl's B site littered with abilities? That got me wondering: what if there was an agent that took KAY/O's gimmick of "your abilities mean nothing against me," and applied that to defense? Now, getting swarmed with a billion flashes/stuns can become a little more bearable.
Introducing the (would be) 23rd agent and fifth Sentinel of the VALORANT Protocol/Legion: Vox.
- Signature: Low-Pass
- ACTIVATE to prepare a personal protective barrier for a limited time. If Vox is blinded, concussed, or nearsighted while the barrier is active, the effect is ignored, and the barrier is destroyed. The barrier can be deactivated.
- To give the enemy a warning that their abilities have been negated, a special sound cue will play to signal that Vox was effected, and his position will be revealed, giving the enemy a chance to react and form a new plan, while also giving them the information to properly act on it. Note: this will only happen if an enemy's ability triggers Low-Pass. Otherwise, Vox keeps his location hidden.
- Basic Q: Clipper
- EQUIP a high-power speaker. FIRE to throw the speaker. ALT FIRE to lob. ACTIVATE the speaker to unleash a damaging wave of sound.
- Yes, it's basically just a copy-paste of KJ's Nanoswarm. I ran out of ideas here, so if you all have anything cooler, let me know!
- Basic C: Recorder
- EQUIP a recording device. FIRE to place a destructible microphone that reveals all enemies that make noise in the area. This ability can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.
- Basically, if you could hear it while standing exactly where the Recorder is, and the enemy is within the Recorder's range (about 6 meters or so), the Recorder will reveal them.
- Counterplay comes in the form of a constant hum emitted by the Recorder, and the fact that if you slowly walk by without shooting, you give ZERO intel to Vox.
- Ultimate: Subwoofer.
- EQUIP the Subwoofer device. FIRE to deploy the device. Once planted, it regularly provides a protective barrier to all teammates within range.
- Although the Low-Pass barriers last for much less time, the reveal effect is cancelled during this time.
It's not anything super special or whatever, but I do feel like a defensive KAY/O style agent could help the health of the game to an extent.

PSA for the upcoming Reaver Bundle: The Reaver Buddy will change colour based off the equipped Reaver Variant. This also works for the original Reaver skins. Examples below but to see it more clearly you can go find and test it in the collection as well. Thought this was a neat addition.

Phantom or Vandal. The choice of life feels easier. Definitely need help making the choice
I need help making "the choice". Until now i used the Phantom, but i noticed that it isn't good at anything longer than 15M. Is it only my impression, or i should "switch" to the Vandal? If so, any tips to master it? Any tip (even the small...
