A Tier - Strong Picks
(1)A-tier is led by Neon, which holds steady with a 51.5% win rate on a 6.0% pick rate. These are strong, reliable agents that perform well in almost every game.
B Tier - Viable
(1)B-tier is led by Phoenix, which holds steady with a 50.9% win rate on a 2.3% pick rate. These agents are balanced and fully viable with solid execution.
C Tier - Situational
(3)C-tier is led by Yoru, which struggles with a 49.9% win rate on a 5.1% pick rate. They are followed by Waylay (49.8%) and Jett (49.7%). These agents are situational and need favourable matchups or team comps to shine. Despite the low ranking, Jett stays popular at a 12.6% pick rate, meaning players overvalue it relative to its C-tier results, while Waylay (5.0%) is more rightly avoided.
D Tier - Below Average
(3)D-tier is led by Reyna, which struggles with a 49.7% win rate on a 6.5% pick rate. They are followed by Raze (49.6%) and Iso (48.8%). These agents underperform against the current meta and take extra effort to win with. Despite the low ranking, Reyna stays popular at a 6.5% pick rate, meaning players overvalue it relative to its D-tier results, while Iso (1.2%) is more rightly avoided.
