Note: We updated the article on May 5, 2024.”
1. Reyna
Everyone loves to play duelist. So, it is very obvious that a duelist will have the highest pick rate. And Reyna occupies that spot for now. In the last month, 10.8% of the total VALORANT-ranked matches had a Reyna in each team.
2. Clove
Clove has taken the second spot, surpassing Omen as the second-most-picked agent in the last month. Although it is too early to say if people have been playing Clove because it’s a new agent or she’s going to be the new meta. Nonetheless, it is a breath of fresh air to see someone new on this list.
3. Jett
There cannot be a top-ten list without mentioning Jett. Despite several nerfs and buffs, Jett is going strong with a 9.2% pick rate across all ranks.
4. Cypher
Although Killjoy currently dominates as the favorite Sentinel in the highest-level competitive scene [VCT 2024 Masters], Cypher remains the most picked Sentinel agent in VALORANT with a 7.9% pick rate.
5. Raze
Raze is unquestionably a good agent, but her abilities make her valuable only on specific maps. Overall, Raze has a 6.6% total pick rate right now. Which is not bad at all.
6. Sage
Sage is the 6th most-picked agent right now. It is solely because the majority of the VALORANT-ranked players still prefer her, as she is an easy agent to play. Sage had a 6.6% pick rate in the last month.
7. Gekko
Gekko is a mid-tier agent who is good only for certain maps. In the past month, Gekko maintained a 5.7% pick rate across all ranks.
8. Omen
Omen is the only agent to experience a significant pick-rate difference in the last month. Due to Clove’s release, Omen’s pick-rate has gone down to 5.1% from 9.4%. However, players who are still not up-to-date with the meta prefer Omen over Clove.
9. Sova
It looks like players don’t pick initiators that much in ranked matches, especially in the lower-rank lobbies. However, Sova has somehow managed to squeeze into the number 7 spot with a 5.1% pick rate.
10. Chamber
Although Killjoy and Cypher are meta agents right now, Chamber has somehow managed to sneak into the list of the most-picked agents. Chamber maintained a 4.0% pick rate in the last month. Kinda surprising.
