Based on our analysis of 14 competitive matches, this is one of the more one-sided agent matchups in Valorant, with Deadlock holding advantages at every stage.
Map selection and team composition cannot fix Viper's disadvantage in this matchup. Deadlock outperforms across all map types and team structures.

For ranked climbing, avoid playing Viper when you expect to face Deadlock frequently. The 8.3 combined percentage point disadvantage across both sides is too large to overcome through individual skill improvement.

Understanding how Sentinel abilities interact with Controller counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential.
