Best agents on new patch meta

#1

no_noise_979

What do you think will be the most played and best agents on the new patch meta?

I think in no order
Raze
Jett
Cypher
Breach
Omen
Brim
Sage
KayO
Chamber
Sova

A little Killjoy but Cypher will be better overall
Edit: A little Skye but Kayo will be better overall. Reyna will remain a troll/comfort/fragging pick like always

WRONG. her wall is still useful in B although not as much. What about A site? the wall lets you plant top site, block backsite and play post plant for defusing. her slow is still insane in such narrow area in A site too. I even forgot to mention that she can block kitchen with her wall and do combo with jett holding op on top of her wall

Breach is not viable on Breeze and Ascent because Kay/0 is just too powerful on these maps. KR play a lot of Breach on Bind but I think Skye util is useful for clearing areas like hookah, U-hall and even showers. Therefore Breach is S-tier only on fracture and Haven, some teams also prefer him on split.

forgot about breach not being viable on breeze, i think breach gonna get more impact with an execute heavy meta so i still think viable on ascent

Viable on Ascent but not going to replace Kay/0 until a three initiator meta is created.

what do you think about skye? idk if kayo will replace her or not. maybe she will get similar pick rate to kill joy. reyna too.

I think kay/0 has replaced her on all maps. Even on Haven some teams prefer Kay/0 over Skye. Skye's position is under threat due to kay/0's emp being so powerful. She is only good on Bind and Haven atm.

KJ is s-tier on Ascent and Split imo. Other than those 2 maps she is outshone by Chamber and Cypher. Teams that have a good Oper technically prefer a Chamber over any other sentinel.

like #22, skye has already been replaced by kayo. thank god for that, so i don’t have to burn my eyes watching subroza’s “aggro skye” anymore. smokes was the best thing to happen to him.

Viper was kinda overpowered in post plants... her nerfs was really needed and well balanced

she's pretty much still a must have for breeze anyways, im not v sure about using viper as a sentinel anymore in dual controller comps though

Brim-Viper could very well be the new meta on Bind and Fracture. I still see Viper being useful for holding sites even though her fuel drains faster when she uses both her util. You don't see a lot of people play on Viper lineups on post plant in pro play. She still could be the primary smoker on Breeze and Icebox though.

yup... that's what Riot wanted to do with her nerfs... she was a lot more sentinel than controller (which is her main role)...

Still a must have in Breeze (map is too large and her wall helps A LOT), and in Fracture... maybe in Icebox yet

Ya think so? Much difference. Chamber can't hold sites as well as cypher

It’s already happening in many maps. I guess depends if your sentinel can op or switch role with someone that can

Cypher is weird because kj is mostly better and chamber outclasses both of them
