Sova is one of the original agents in Riot Games' tactical shooter Valorant, released in 2020, and 'you lack the patience' comes from his in-game voice lines, delivered when the match pacing turns reckless. Clips of agent voice lines are staples on soundboards, where players grab them as reaction sounds for highlight videos and livestream moments. Much like the bomb has been planted announcement or an enemy spotted callout, it works because every tactical FPS player has lived the moment it describes, which is why the line keeps resurfacing in edits and meme compilations.
