If you could play one val agent for the rest of forever, which you picking?
Arun777 [#2]fade
Fade is valid and I think right now might actually be more versatile than sovaa
veronika [#3]viper
I'd probably pick the same, literally the only agent in the game without a clear alternative
9wntr [#5]gekko cus he's never an unplayable pick on any map
also never an optimal pick on any map
Skwish [#6]astra
Astra's a good pick, she can do so much + guarantees you'll always have smokes
aiminverylabs [#9]sova or waylay
Waylay will be nerfed into irrelevance and be left there in the coming months I fear
Maniacwolf [#20]Yoru
I feel like we are due a yoru nerf soon and knowing Riot, he'll be abandoned in an unplayable state for quite some time but he'll probably still be fun so long as they don't change his gameplay identity
dimmed [#16]also never an optimal pick on any map
idc what people say astra is one of the most fun agents in the game
dimmed [#15]I feel like Cypher lacks stopping power
They’ll buff him at some point
dimmed [#15]I feel like Cypher lacks stopping power
Just manipulate your enemies to walk into your trips and being shot trough cages
dimmed [#16]also never an optimal pick on any map
but never like useless
(i.e omen on breeze)

the new map pool is gonna have the yoru pick rate through the roof almost definitely will be 100% on breeze pretty much and he is good on every other map apart from maybe corrode where waylay seems better
dimmed [#21]I feel like we are due a yoru nerf soon and knowing Riot, he'll be abandoned in an unplayable state for quite some time but he'll probably still be fun so long as they don't change his gameplay identity
Yeah probably but even they nerf him but keep the same abilities I feel like he’s still decent
soonwookong [#38]surprised no one said omen yet
issue is that omen on breeze would be troll
dimmed [#12]Fade is valid and I think right now might actually be more versatile than sovaa
fade could be a bit tricky in the current map pool with abyss, pearl and breeze, although playing sova on split and bind doesn't sound overly appetising either. i don't think there's a clear option between fade and sova when it comes to recon initiators
omen or yoru. They arent bad on any map (omen is still playable on breeze and yoru isnt shit on ascent), and they are characters with the highest skill ceiling so there is always something new to learn with them.
