Which agents in the game are the most well designed and which are the worst designed?

I'd argue Omen is definitely up there for best. He's complex while still being easy to understand, he has an insane mechanical ceiling, he can entry, lurk, hard support, initiate a site exec, anchor incredibly well and overall has the most versatile kit in Valorant

Worst designed I think has to be Iso. 2 dogshit abilities that are very hard to get value from and one brain dead game shattering ability that's ideal scenario is just to snowball matches by isolating 1v1's, as well as a complete 50/50 ult that could hurt more than help a lot of the time unless there's a massive gap between you and the rest of the lobby

IMO the best designed agents are the ones who have abilities with good synergy so they are well thought out and not just good in game. for example, omen deafen + tp, smoke + tp, i think those were a smart combination of abilities and makes him extremely fun to play. cypher with his x-ray from his tripwire and ultimate and camera + smoke. fade's abilities make it easier for her prowlers to catch a target. there's still more like sova, killjoy, deadlock, raze, viper, even chamber and loosely iso and sage.

if i had to pick one between the best it would probably be jett because her entire kit seems well thought out and very fluid. the abilities still find value without being used in combination with others but they are made even stronger when used together. :)

there are a few standout agents who seemingly (to me) have abilities with almost no connection to each other outside of lore. characters such as harbor and clove just seem to me like they had a bunch of junk for ideas and abilities selected out of the junk. i understand that they may be good in game but none of their abilities really meld like the others so between them would be my answer for worst designed.

Best is probably Raze. Her movement is iconic and unique to valorant, plus it just fits her personality perfectly.

Worst is, and probably always will be, Reyna. There's just no way to make her be valuable to the team in a coordinated, similar-skill setting without sitting in off angles and praying. And there's no way to really fix that problem without fundamentally changing her kit.
