While almost every Agent in the game found themselves getting picked during Champions 2024, some Agents were clearly more dominant than others in the current meta of the shooter.
In this article, we take a look at the top 5 most picked Agents of Valorant Champions 2024 and find out which Agents are more prominent in the ongoing meta.
Valorant Champions 2024: Top 5 Agent Picks
Without further ado, let’s check out the list of the top 5 Agents in Valorant Champions 2024 in terms of pick rates. Note that the recent 9.04 patch in Valorant brought no major changes to the Agents in terms of buffs and nerfs, so the meta should remain largely unchanged till the next big update.
5) Raze
Raze has undoubtedly remained one of the strongest Duelists in Valorant since her initial launch. While Riot has taken a number of measures to curb her dominance in the competitive scene over the years, she still remains a favorite pick among pros. Raze enjoyed a solid 41% pick rate during Valorant Champions 2024.
4) Cypher
With just a 1% higher pick rate than Raze, Cypher has emerged as the Sentinel of choice for most Valorant pros across the majority of maps. With a 42% pick rate, Cypher proved to be an extremely useful Sentinel in Champions 2024, providing his team with great value through his defensive utility.
3) Viper
Despite being a Controller, Viper’s defensive utility makes her a fan-favorite among pros as her kit also enables her to lock down crucial choke points with ease. Viper’s effectiveness in the current meta is evident in her 50% pick rate at Valorant Champions 2024.
2) Sova
Despite initiators like Gekko and Fade being quite popular in certain maps, Sova finds himself topping the list of Initiators in terms of pick rates. His Owl Drone and Recon still remain two of the strongest abilities to safely gather information before executing onto sites, which earns him the #2 spot on this list with a 52% pick rate.
1) Omen
Omen’s dominance in the current Valorant meta isn’t very surprising. His kit enables him to Smoke off areas with ease, while also making room for aggressive plays with his flash and teleport. On top of that, his ultimate makes room for some sneaky plays while also keeping his opponents on their toes. Omen stands proud at a whopping 62% pick rate throughout Valorant Champions 2024.
