Tejo was released at the beginning of 2025, and fans were anxious to know who was joining him next after claims from pros that the new playable character is OP and better than Jett, Yoru, and Reyna combined. Riot Games has now pulled the curtain aside, and, while the new character is by no means bad, some fans are disappointed with the abilities for Valorant Agent 28, Waylay.Valorant fans disappointed with Agent 28 Waylay abilitiesThe official abilities for Valorant Agent 28, Waylay, are as follows:RefractInstantly create a beacon of light on the floor. Reactivate to speed back to your beacon as a mote of pure light. You are invulnerable as you travel.Light SpeedEquip to prepare for a burst of speed. Fire to dash forward twice. Alt fire to dash once. Only your first dash can send you upward.SaturateInstantly throw a cluster of light that explodes upon contact with the ground, hindering nearby players with a powerful movement and weapon slow.Convergent PathsEquip to focus your prismatic power. Fire to create an afterimage of yourself that projects a beam of light inValorant. After a brief delay, you gain a powerful speed boost and the beam expands, hindering other players in the area.Reacting to these abilities on Reddit, there is some disappointment within the community. The overwhelming complaint is that creativity is really dead. Fans are not impressed with how Riot Games created a new agent [just] to add other agents abilities to them, and this is because their skillset is basically Breach ult + Jett dash + clove decay + clove ult but in reverse, or Chamber tp, Jett q+e Neon stun that dont screen shake.Most of the complaints are about Riot recycling/tweaking other agents abilities, and how this is a sign the developer is running out of ideas. Another comment says, This is underwhelming. Nothing new added, just past agents abilities rearranged into a new one, which is echoed by another comment saying, Why are we reskinning abilities? [They dont] have a single unique quality.While fans might be disappointed, reskinned abilities was to be expected as Valorant pros teased Agent 28 is a cocktail of previous Duelists. Hopefully this new character has enough about them to stand out when they release on March 5th, but right now fans are underwhelmed.For more Valorant, check out our18 tips on how to get betterat the game along with our guide forhow to appear offlineif you dont want certain friends knowing youre playing.
