They also said sage is still really strong.
Yeah she's been a top 3 winrate agent from the launch of the game til now, nerfs just dropped her from indisputed #1 to moving around between 1-3 depending on the patch. Sage is very, very good still.

The data is inherently biased, because the more an agent is popular and played, the more the players will be comfortable playing it and therefore perform better with it.
Take Sage and Raze for instance. Despite all Riot's attempts at nerfing them, their winrate is always off the chart, simply because they're the most played agents (maybe not the case anymore for Sage). They're at least a secondary agent (when not main) of most players, so when they're picked, players know how to perform well with them. If I pick Breach, of course I'll be terrible with it. Doesn't mean it's not an OP agent.
We look at mastery curve data too - we're not such data novices that we wouldn't be able to account for this. Breach players at the peak of his mastery curve (which is, admittedly, quite long - it takes longer to "master" Breach than most agents in the game) still sport winrates that are lower than many players' games 1-5 on agents like Reyna or Sage. Breach is just not that strong in matchmaking, full stop.
In terms of balancing between pro play and matchmaking, yeah that's a whole different discussion. We're still building out how exactly those should intersect, but it's a very frequent talking point for us and something we're actively working on. First Strike should be a big learning opportunity for us here, and we're communicating with pro teams semi regularly to get feedback from them on top of the data we analyze daily.
u/Altombre whats the news on Viper?
She's doing a bit better, but still needs some help. We've had some spicier changes bouncing around for testing internally, but nothing we've wanted to ship yet, especially now with First Strike going on and this batch of Sentinel changes + Skye that we wanted to ship.
For controllers, we're looking at buffing Brimstone a bit first, since that's an easier case, but Viper is still on our radar. We just needed to shift around resources to clean up some other aspects of the game on the last patch or two, but we haven't forgotten about her, don't worry!
Breach has a very low pickrate. In free translation it means people dont play him. I don't think he is 'super strong' .
It’s less pickrate and more winrate, but yeah both are true. Few people play breach, those that do play breach are not very successful with him (lowest winrate in the game, right next to viper).
For those who will say it’s because people are inexperienced, even accounting for mastery curves breach is weak. Breach “mains” who play him a ton become more successful, but his peak winrate amongst the players who main him is often still below game 1-5 winrates on agents like Sage or Reyna.
omen 100% pickrate brimstone 1% pickrate but Riot buffs breach flash instead.
We’re working on some Brimstone buffs right now, they just weren’t ready for this patch. Stay tuned!
And furthermore, if she’s dead, do they work?
Nope. Once KJ dies her alarmbot and turret deactivate.
Hey, do we have a price already? Thanks.
its in the video as soon as we look at the store image ;)
Oh god those variants are sexy.
which one is your favorite?
I think the white is the best looking. Black is ok, but I want my skins to stand out more. The default skins are already all black.
I don't get why they recolored the gold finish to silver? Purple and silver doesnt look as good as purple and gold, imo.
we have A LOT of gold on our gunskins. consider also the Ruin set with its black/gold, prime with purple white gold, sovereign, etc. its kind of a meme for us at this point that we always put gold on things and we wanted to just go a bit more muted for this considering it needed that edgy feel rather than the premiere high tier feel you know?
As an Omen main, this is literally the perfect skin bundle. Endgame bundle for me definitely.
glad we delivered!
[UPDATE: Patch 1.11 is currently on hold for all regions until further notice. VALORANT will roll back to Patch 1.10 until we can redeploy later in the week with a solution, and at a less disruptive time for the VALORANT First Strike Qualifiers . If you started the Skye character contract, you won't be able to progress until we patch again. Thanks for sticking with us.]
Skye enters VALORANT and will be available to play in all queues.
(Recently, one of you asked, “how can she be ‘Skye’ if she’s on the ground?” Well, just repeat to yourself, “it’s just a game, I should really just relax.”)
All of our Sentinels and Initiators are getting role and abilities-specific tuning, ...
