Deadlock already taking over VALORANT despite pro complaints about her weaknesses

It’s a small and early sample size, but Deadlock already finds herself amongst the top tier of agents in VALORANT Episode Seven. But while she may be a popular choice among the masses, it doesn’t appear she has the same sentiment amongst VALORANT pros.

While competitive data hasn’t been made available yet, the early results coming from all game modes and unrated in particular shows that Deadlock is doing very well. According to data from Blitz.gg at time of writing, she has the third highest win rate amongst all agents in unrated play at 50.9 percent behind Killjoy in first and Raze in second. She’s also sixth overall in K/D at 1.04, and that’s with the game’s fourth highest pick rate at 7.5 percent.
