If you wanted to see a riot shield on VALUATION, do not flatter yourself. Riot Games’ main character designer Ryan “Morello” Scott has confirmed that the recent leaks for Crusader and Shatter are actually for older agents who have been canceled.

Morello also said that people are “reading too much” in the game’s archives as many things have been removed since the game’s release in June. As a result, information from recent leaks is out of date and has not yet been removed from files.

According to leaks, Shatter was supposed to be an agent who could create a lure of himself to trick enemies. There were also rumors that his clone could run into an area and explode and harm nearby enemies after a certain time.

Crusader, on the other hand, was rumored to have a breakable shield that he could equip, use to block damage while planting the spike, and could even be thrown. He reportedly also had a grenade dumped in his kit at some point.

Many fans were not too keen on joining a riot shield character VALUATIONIt ranks as the skill would not match the tactical play style of the game. A shield can negate too many abilities, combos, and strategies simply by blocking all damage sent to a player.

A decoy character is not that innovative, but it could be troublesome and difficult to balance. An explosive lure would also provide a lot of utility to a team, both on the offensive and defensive sides.
