When I first saw new Valorant agent Clove, two things crossed my mind. The first was that they, unfortunately, aren't Glaswegian (we're the best city in Scotland, sorry not sorry). The second, however, was that their kit feels like a blend of all of the shooter's best characters. There's Reyna-style lifesteal, big brain Astra smokes, a damage over time grenade a la Viper, and, of course, a slightly different iteration of Sage's Resurrect. Given the game is almost four years old, I ask agent gameplay designer Dan Hardison whether or not we'll start to see abilities repeating themselves - but he reassures me Riot has plenty of "fresh" mechanics in the works.
