Breach Riot Gamesīreach is loud, aggressive and possibly the best attacking agent in the entire game, his flashbang and disrupting abilities giving him the confidence to run into any unchecked room or corridor. From his smokes to his airstrike ultimate, Brimstone is an annoyance for anyone to play against, shrouding his team when needed and even clearing a site with his artillery when prompted. Brimstone Riot Gamesīrimstone is a similar state to Cypher where although he isn't an instant loss if a top team doesn't pick him, he's an integral piece to many of the teams that won tournaments during the beta period. Overall, though, as we've seen in almost every major tournament during VALORANT's beta, Cypher is a key cog to any winning side. 54% of the pros voted Cypher an S-tier agent while a surprising 4% thought he wasn't as necessary or important by putting him C-tier. There isn't any other agent in the game that can lock down a site like Cypher can with his wide array of booby traps and no one beats him when it comes to shutting down a well-timed flank. The Morrocan king of intel himself, Cypher finds himself sliding into the A-tier where agents are considered staples in a majority of compositions played on the competitive stage. Still, even with her setbacks, it's hard to see a world where Sage still isn't 100% picked until her healing's effectiveness is lowered. In a game where a heal from the Chinese monk can be the difference between a won or lost round, she's the only agent in the game that can't be left on the table during the selection phase.Īlmost as if the VALORANT developers were reading our pros' minds, Sage was nerfed going into the official release, with her healing duration and wall durability both being weakened. Sage is a walking ambulance with her heals, slowing field, ice wall and resurrection ultimate. No one even thought about ranking her lower.
93% of our voters put her in S tier with the other 7% putting her one rung lower in A-tier. The only agent to be an S-tier, we had to put Sage right at the top for how many pros believed she was essential to any sort of VALORANT composition.
