Solution for a gameplay problem

I am a Cypher main and I constantly run through a specfic problem while playing which, I think, is common for other agents like Killjoy and Yoru.

The problem I am talking about is the need to face the objects placed on map to activate them (in Cypher's case are the cages). This makes the gameplay unnecessarily rustier, especially when the cages you need are above or under you. It can really mess up your crosshair placement or even your entire play.

So, by observing how League's gameplay work, I thought maybe Riot could implement something similar to Valorant. In League whenever you want to heal or use a shield on yourself, you have to drag your mouse onto you character and use the ability, but you can avoid that by pressing Alt + ability button.

Valorant should also have an alternative activation for Cypher's cages or Killjoy's mollies. But in this context, it should activate the last object you've placed or the one closest to you. The player could choose in the configs what alternative activation suits him best. It would also solve the issue of having to travel your crosshair throughout the whole map to activate both skills.

Maybe, when pressing just Alt, it could also highlight which one would be detonated if the skill button is pressed.

Hope you like the suggestion, let me know what you think.
