Success in VALORANT is dependant on many things, most important of which is your own skill and having the ability to communicate with your team. But aside from that, if you want to have a good win rate and not just a good K/D ratio or headshot percentage, it might be possible that your agent choice is holding you back.
Having many characters from which to choose, it’s not uncommon for players to have some favorite agents to choose from even if they’re not the best at playing them, or if they’re outside of the meta. And as it turns out, by checking out Blitz.gg and their analysis, there are a handful of agents that are consistently on the losing side of their matches.
Now, we’re not saying any of these are bad agents, and we’re certainly not trying to make you change the way you play. But if you see your favorite character in the list below, it might be that your troubles securing a victory might come down to more than just bad luck. Below you’ll find the agents with the worst win rates, from lowest to highest (as found in Ascendant 3 rank):
- Harbor (47 percent win rate)
- Iso (46.3 percent win rate)
- KAY/O (44.9 percent win rate)
- Yoru (48.3 percent win rate)
- Neon (49 percent win rate)
- Breach (48.9 percent win rate)
- Chamber (48.5 percent win rate)
Given that the majority of VALORANT players queue solo and tend to favor double-duelist compositions over double-controller or initiator setups, the agents with the lowest win rates seem to align with these preferences. While avoiding these agents won’t necessarily lead to an immediate boost in your win rate, the statistics suggest it could be a prudent strategy for now. It’s all about following the meta.
