Riot Games really ain’t scared of shaking up Valorant’s<\/a> meta with the revealed changes<\/a>, set to be introduced with Episode 3 Act 2, giving everything food for thought.<\/p>\n There is a lot changed, namely the ability for certain Agents to take out the utility of others as well as subtle but meaningful nerfs to Killjoy’s Turret and a change to Raze’s Boom Bot that fundamentally changes its use case.<\/p>\n It’s those changes to Agents being able to destroy others’ utility that is set to really make the difference though; with Breach, Brimstone, and Sova all becoming more powerful with this change.<\/p>\n It also has a chilling effect on a number of other agents. Killjoy is greatly diminished at the start of Act 2, and Cypher and Sage also look like they will be having a hard time of it, with both their Trapywire and Barrier Orb susceptible to damage.<\/p>\n Which poses the question: who are the most powerful agents in Valorant? We look to break down all 16 possible picks into a tier list to help you gauge their strength and weaknesses.<\/p>\n Couple of things to get out the way before we dive into the list. This isn’t a list that takes in the considerations of very high-level pro play, this is for those average players, grinding away at the competitive ladder. <\/p>\n Some ratings you might vehemently disagree with; Viper is A-tier here but she is S-tier on Icebox, however, we are looking to rank each Agent across the entire game and not specifically for a certain map, so again it isn’t a perfect science.<\/p>\n Things will change throughout the season too, both in how players combat the changes introduced with v3.05 but also with subsequent patches. We will update this list as this becomes apparent.<\/strong><\/p>\n With that said, let’s get into it.<\/p>\n S-Tier<\/strong><\/p>\n Breach<\/strong> just seems to keep on getting stronger. The beneficiary of a series of buffs at the start of Episode 3 which saw his flashes become more powerful, he is again the main man when it comes to changes at the start of Act 2. While Brimstone and Sova can also destroy utility with their own, it is their expensive Ultimates that can do it, on the other hand, Breach’s 100 coin Aftershock can soften up defences in a way not possible before.<\/p>\n Also in the S-tier is Jett<\/strong>, her abilities are unlike any other and with no significant nerfs (in fact the nerfs to other Agents only make her stronger again) she is well and truly still the agent of choice for your top-fragging AWPer.<\/p>\n A-Tier<\/strong><\/p>\n Three Agents make it into our A-tier, each from a different class.<\/p>\n\n
