All the agents that came before Fade show their face in a fairly similar manner with visible and symmetric eyes. When an agent splash art wasn't symmetrical the artists would actually make a new icon different from the splash art. (Neon and Yoru for example). But nowadays the valorant team just take the original splash art and cut, rotate, and (in Gekko's case) invert the face and make just some little small changes to the icon instead of creating a new one. The old icons, because they are symmetrical look a lot better in the minimap for example (Fade's icon in the minimap looks like a blob)

Not everyone in low ranks is a smurf, sometimes they just have a god-tier game.
