One of the key drivers of VALORANT’s popularity is its diverse roster of agents, each representing different nationalities and backgrounds. Riot Games has ensured a representation of various countries in the game, making it inclusive and appealing to players worldwide. This diversity is evident in the agents’ dialogues, personalities, and appearances within the game. The recent introduction of the world map showcasing each agent’s country of origin further highlights this diversity.
