VALORANT’s most ‘electric’ duelist is a ranked dud, but vital to the potential MVP of VCT Americas

Across the ranked and pro player meta in competitive VALORANT, duelists like Jett and Raze are the clear and obvious frontrunners in regards to pick rate and win rate. Reyna joins the top tier of duelists across most divisions in ranked with a high pick rate and win rate, despite little to no appearances in VCT 2023. But one of the least-picked and least-successful agents in ranked turns out to be a must-have for one of the best pro players in the game.

Neon is one of the most interesting cases when looking at the duelist category and the pick/win rates for each agent. She’s had a pretty poor showing across ranked, with some of the lowest pick rates and win rates amongst all agents in virtually ever skill division, according to data from Blitz.gg. Neon only has a positive win rate (50.7 percent) in Radiant, but she has the lowest pick rate of any agent at that rank, including Yoru.
