For this list, we took the pick rates for all VALORANT agents across all ranks, from Iron 1 all the way up to Radiant, and have listed all of the agents in order based on their average pick rate across all competitive ranks, for the current episode. VALORANT agent pick rates from most to least played in ranked The ranking below is determined by averaging each agent's pick rate across each competitive rank for the current VALORANT season. Each agent is ranked from most picked to least picked. This data comes from Blitz.gg. Ranking Agent1 Reyna 2 Jett 3 Omen 4 Cypher 5 Raze 6 Sage 7 Sova 8 Skye 9 Viper 10 Chamber 11 Brimstone 12 Killjoy 13 Gekko 14 Phoenix 15 Yoru 16 KAY\/O 17 Fade 18 Breach 19 Neon 20 Iso 21 Astra 22 Deadlock 23 Harbor Most picked agents in VALORANT competitive 1) Reyna Across every single competitive rank in VALORANT, Reyna is either the first or second most picked agent. She is the most picked in every rank from Bronze 1 up to Platinum 1. Since her release, Reyna has been considered one of the best VALORANT agents to breeze through the ranked ladder with. A good Reyna player can make a huge difference for any team, especially in lower ranks. Reyna players are easily able to get team or match MVP if they hit their shots and take smart duels. This is the reason why many players choose to lock Reyna because playing her well means you\u2019ll make a big impact and therefore have the potential to gain large amounts of RR to rank up. Others think Reyna\u2019s simple kit makes her utility easy to use and understand. 2) Jett Jett is the consensus favorite amongst higher ranked competitive players. She is the most picked agent in every rank from Platinum 2 up through Radiant. For a long time, Jett was a very overpowered agent who wouldn\u2019t get punished for playing extremely aggressively. She received several rounds of nerfs in late 2021, and the developers landed on today\u2019s version of Jett, where the main change is the mechanic of her dash. By having to anticipate the timing of her dash ability, Jett is less spontaneous but still ranks high in terms of overall pick rate. The reason why Jett continues to have such a high pick rate is similar to the reason Reyna is also high on this list\u2014Jett makes a lot of impact with her aggressive style, and more impact for your team generally means more RR. 3) Omen Omen is the second or third most picked agent in every single rank except for Immortal 3 and Radiant. Omen is a classic agent for any VALORANT fan. Many players who want to play a controller agent and provide smokes for their team will start with Omen first because his smokes are easy to place and his teleport gives him a lot of mobility. His flash is also very powerful, and his utility allows him to make creative plays that can result in aces and flashy clutched rounds. Other controller agents have come in and out of the meta, but for the last year, Omen has been a mainstay in ranked play as the most selected controller. Least picked agents in VALORANT competitive 1) Harbor Harbor is the least picked agent across almost every single rank, from Bronze 3 all the way up to Radiant. Harbor needs help; all his water wall abilities make it easy for opposing teams to know where he is, and there's no disruptive or offensive ability in his entire kit. Whereas other controllers have abilities like a blind or a molotov, Harbor doesn't have anything like that. 2) Deadlock While Deadlock isn't the least picked agent in any specific competitive rank, she is consistently in the bottom four in agent pick ate across every single competitive rank. Deadlock is somewhat the victim of being the game's newest agent, but the lack of strength in her ability kit isn't doing her any favors. Her Barrier Mesh walls are a very capable deterrent, but the rest of her kit lacks any real impact. 3) Astra Astra is the least picked agent amongst lower ranked players, from Iron 1 up to Bronze 2. But even at higher ranks she's still in the bottom third in pick rate amongst all agnts. Astra is one of VALORANT's least picked agents, but she's not quite the worst. This is likely due to a combination of the nerfs that saw her star count decrease and star cost increase, but Astra is also generally seen as an intimidating agent for new players since her utility requires a lot of forethought and coordination to be useful.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/11140105\/1920x1080-ep5-Agent-neon_reyna_kj.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659667"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659667"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659667\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1149443,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659667\/revisions\/1149443"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=659667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

For this list, we took the pick rates for all VALORANT agents across all ranks, from Iron 1 all the way up to Radiant, and have listed all of the agents in order based on their average pick rate across all competitive ranks, for the current episode. VALORANT agent pick rates from most to least played in ranked The ranking below is determined by averaging each agent's pick rate across each competitive rank for the current VALORANT season. Each agent is ranked from most picked to least picked. This data comes from Blitz.gg. Ranking Agent1 Reyna 2 Jett 3 Omen 4 Cypher 5 Raze 6 Sage 7 Sova 8 Skye 9 Viper 10 Chamber 11 Brimstone 12 Killjoy 13 Gekko 14 Phoenix 15 Yoru 16 KAY\/O 17 Fade 18 Breach 19 Neon 20 Iso 21 Astra 22 Deadlock 23 Harbor Most picked agents in VALORANT competitive 1) Reyna Across every single competitive rank in VALORANT, Reyna is either the first or second most picked agent. She is the most picked in every rank from Bronze 1 up to Platinum 1. Since her release, Reyna has been considered one of the best VALORANT agents to breeze through the ranked ladder with. A good Reyna player can make a huge difference for any team, especially in lower ranks. Reyna players are easily able to get team or match MVP if they hit their shots and take smart duels. This is the reason why many players choose to lock Reyna because playing her well means you\u2019ll make a big impact and therefore have the potential to gain large amounts of RR to rank up. Others think Reyna\u2019s simple kit makes her utility easy to use and understand. 2) Jett Jett is the consensus favorite amongst higher ranked competitive players. She is the most picked agent in every rank from Platinum 2 up through Radiant. For a long time, Jett was a very overpowered agent who wouldn\u2019t get punished for playing extremely aggressively. She received several rounds of nerfs in late 2021, and the developers landed on today\u2019s version of Jett, where the main change is the mechanic of her dash. By having to anticipate the timing of her dash ability, Jett is less spontaneous but still ranks high in terms of overall pick rate. The reason why Jett continues to have such a high pick rate is similar to the reason Reyna is also high on this list\u2014Jett makes a lot of impact with her aggressive style, and more impact for your team generally means more RR. 3) Omen Omen is the second or third most picked agent in every single rank except for Immortal 3 and Radiant. Omen is a classic agent for any VALORANT fan. Many players who want to play a controller agent and provide smokes for their team will start with Omen first because his smokes are easy to place and his teleport gives him a lot of mobility. His flash is also very powerful, and his utility allows him to make creative plays that can result in aces and flashy clutched rounds. Other controller agents have come in and out of the meta, but for the last year, Omen has been a mainstay in ranked play as the most selected controller. Least picked agents in VALORANT competitive 1) Harbor Harbor is the least picked agent across almost every single rank, from Bronze 3 all the way up to Radiant. Harbor needs help; all his water wall abilities make it easy for opposing teams to know where he is, and there's no disruptive or offensive ability in his entire kit. Whereas other controllers have abilities like a blind or a molotov, Harbor doesn't have anything like that. 2) Deadlock While Deadlock isn't the least picked agent in any specific competitive rank, she is consistently in the bottom four in agent pick ate across every single competitive rank. Deadlock is somewhat the victim of being the game's newest agent, but the lack of strength in her ability kit isn't doing her any favors. Her Barrier Mesh walls are a very capable deterrent, but the rest of her kit lacks any real impact. 3) Astra Astra is the least picked agent amongst lower ranked players, from Iron 1 up to Bronze 2. But even at higher ranks she's still in the bottom third in pick rate amongst all agnts. Astra is one of VALORANT's least picked agents, but she's not quite the worst. This is likely due to a combination of the nerfs that saw her star count decrease and star cost increase, but Astra is also generally seen as an intimidating agent for new players since her utility requires a lot of forethought and coordination to be useful.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/11140105\/1920x1080-ep5-Agent-neon_reyna_kj.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659667"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=659667"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659667\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1149443,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/659667\/revisions\/1149443"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=659667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=659667"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=659667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
