Heat
cNed
yay
(I'm ranking the best jetts at their peak).
Hear me out, if we are talking about Jetts at their peak form, then Tenz at the first Masters has to be top 3 however, if we were to talk about consistent Jett players, I would not have Tenz in my top 3 (especially with how he has been playing in 2022).
Heat at both Masters Berlin and VCT Champions has ranked 1st and 2nd in ACS as a Jett. The only controversy would be that he hasn't played enough rounds or matches because his team has never made playoffs (Top 8).
cNed (in my opinion) has been the most consistent Jett in the world. When he is on Jett it is very rare to see him have a bad game.
Derke has been very consistent as well in big matches. He did rank 3rd in ACS in masters Reykjavik and 1st in VCT Champions even though he has played more rounds than the majority of players.
Overall, I haven't been too focused on the other regions but there probably are jett players I have missed that could be up there for best jett players.
Yeah lol. Heat is debatable sure but Seoldam's util usage and playstyle is pure Jett. Guy's probably the only tier 1 pro player who has a different playstyle of Jett for shotguns, OPs, rifles, and ults.
This guy does shit with the Judge and Shorty most, if not all, other pro players don't. And he does it on 40+ ping, even as high as 80 (he plays APAC from Japan to Singapore)
NOTE: THIS IS PURELY MY OPINION
EMEA, KR AND SEA COMING SOON
NORTH AMERICA
leaf
Nathan "leaf" Orf has been an extremely solid player for Cloud9 recently, being a crucial player in their semi-finals run at Champions. leaf has quite the collection of impressive plays and currently seems to be achieving some of the most impressive stats in the world, with a mind-boggling 299.8 average combat score and a kill/death ratio of 1.33 at Champions - the second best Jett at the final major LAN event of the year. Proficiency with both the Operator and Rifles makes leaf even more of an impressive player, as well his flexibility to do whatever is required of him.
yay
Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker has been one of North America's hidden gems, having represented some of the most impressive squads in the region. Valorant Champions Tour Stage 3: Masters Berlin was yay's first showing on the international stage where he completely dominated the opposition, achieving 2-0 results against North America's best - Sentinels and 100 Thieves - who were contenders to win the whole trophy. Champions was a much weaker showing as the Masters Berlin average combat score of 280 dropped to 243. yay has played much more Chamber as of recent, but his antics on Jett will continue on maps where Chamber is not as oppressive.
Sayaplayer
Ha "Sayaplayer" Jeong-woo (하정우) is the new star player of The Guard, an impressive squad with some of North America's newest and flashiest talent. Saya has been the best Jett in Champions Tour North America Stage 1: Challengers, with an average combat score of 280 and a kill/death ratio of 1.52. Clutches appear to come easy to Saya, winning out a record-high 50% of his clutch situations. Saya specializes in using the Operator, but is still confident in the ability to use the Vandal and Phantom.
TenZ
Tyson "TenZ" Ngo is a fan favourite, dominating the first ever LAN event at Reykjavik and most of the regional competition at the time. TenZ still is one of the most lethal players with Jett's Knives, but does seem to be rather inconsistent at times with his hyper-aggressive entry style. Champions was one of the worst events statistically for TenZ, with an average combat score of 225 and a kill/death ratio of 1.06.
penny
Erik "penny" Penny is the Jett player for Version1. V1 are the best team at North America Stage 1: Challengers as of right now. penny has been a force to be reckoned with, with some of the most insane plays.
In no particular order:
cNed, Derke, yay
I feel like out of all those, and this may be a controversial take, yay has the highest skill ceiling, followed by derke and then cNed. The kicker is that cNed is the most consistent of them all, so he's a safer pick. That being said, when yay and derke go huge, they go HUGE.
Also derke is the most flexible of the three so if you had to pick just one for your team, I'd personally go for derke every single time.
Absolute shit list.
Buzz??
Tenz on lan just because of iceland? (Also hes def not top 3 jetts in 2022 anymore) 💀💀
Deffo? Dont get me wrong, but hes def not top 3, but he does his job well.
Latam is even worse
Nagzet? AND XAND??
Tbh it looks like you just picked literally anyone that you know from these regions and called them the best jetts rofl
Heat def played better than cNed in VK x ACE, but this was the first match of the tournament. Overall, cNed > Heat.
I don't think he's TOP 1, but can be like top 3-5 easily since he have the best stats as Jett both in Masters Berlin and Champions, the only problem is not reaching playoffs.
I really want Riot to create a "All-Stars" for Valorant just like League, with a showmatch between the best Jetts across all regions.
