[@YourAveragePersonOnTheStreets]

TIME FOR EARLY AGENT ANALYSIS TIME! 0:50 - able to disable utility? 1:06 - a recon light up beacon thingy 1:08 - some sort of detonation device that can be launched and stick to surfaces 1:11 - probably the same thing as the projectile in 1:08 but is shown how its launched 1:50 - looks to be an aoe affect type ultimate(?) where the agent presses a switch to activate a large series of explosions. (Reminds me a little of Rumble's Ultimate from League of Legends) Role: Initiator, possibly a deep-lying support like Breach and a mix of Sova due to being able to use a lot of ranged abilities this comment may age very poorly or will be used by youtubers to help with their own predictions/early analysis lol Edit: Riot release the gameplay trailer right after I posted this comment so watch that instead of my inaccurate predictions. There’s also already a few videos showcasing the agent fully :p
