Finally, a press release sent to Twinfinite includes comments from John Goscicki, Riot Games’ character producer who led Chamber development. He had the following to say about the Agent’s design:
What were your objectives when creating Chamber?
“We began by considering various approaches to the Sentinel role. Our initial thought process revolved around the concept of “someone who bunkers down and holds a location by getting frags.” As we worked on Chamber, we saw the emergence of someone capable of holding down a site with a variety of weapons. A player should be able to hold down a location with your loadout, his pistol/ult, and gadgets.”
What sources did you draw inspiration from, and are there any noteworthy concepts you wanted to convey with Chamber?
“We were heavily influenced by the archetype of “the gentleman assassin.” As we worked on Chamber, it became clear that his gameplay was centred on highly lethal, pinpoint accuracy. “
