This week, I wanted to anlaysis on Haven, instead of something more geographic

tldw ;
Depend on the map, on Haven, archetype are carried by "flex" agent since they are sentinel in each comp. (Winrate of Viper will be winrate of double smoke, etc...)
On map like split, since sentinel arent an obligation it's more interesting to look at archetype
If you were talking about a composition with 5 precise agents... Then they are simple not enough sample size. I think best I can do is to go deeper in the analysis by looking at winrate of a duo of agent. (And I have my own tool for that)
Cypher got fucked in the nerfs so KJ is better now and having a full time info sentinel is a necessity on any 3 bomb map. we might have a chamber or vyse return next year as variations, who knows? I believe we will see fade more with the scan nerfs (two prowlers is more valuable now). double smoke with any meta solo duelist will probably be the main comp but i also think drx neon/yoru-waylay fucks a lot besides a not great winrate (which was more because of choking and CT issues than anything)
i think sova will still be meta on haven
drone shows visual info in case of op
ult is great for retake/anti killjoy/anti plant/post plant and etc, whilst fade's is only retake at best
oh it absolutely will just think fade will be a more viable alternative/sova pickrates won't be as high as they are rn (95%)
I do think Chamber might have a shot in this meta.
About Fade I tend to think double smoke can turn a long range sova map, into a map that is mush more close range, so in that regard, Fade might have a shot in that, chance is thin but still here.
Nah that aint happening... We're probably going to see omen harbor like NRG at RBHG, probably by some relatively aggro teams who are happy to trade viper's lurk potential for harbor's psuedo initiation
Would you classify this sort of video as a "news report" on the state of the game? If so, good video. But for analysis, it's more about answering why the win rate or pick rate is this way. Would love to hear more why you think they are the way they are.
It's a statistical analysis, but you can see at both.
I would like to speak more about "Why X work and not Y", but that's not really my specialty. I think early in the year Teko was an harcounter to KJ so his nerf was an up for her.
For duelist, more pro will master Neon and Yoru more this agent will be strong, pro already know everything about Jett explaining why she is currently bad)
I think Fade thrive in double controller composition and that's why her winrate is good
For Viper I just do think that's how Valorant should be played : 2 smoker almost everywhere.
Personally think that cypher is still just good but am hopeful for some deadlock/vyse actually
Vyse idk if its happening Haven needs a lot of into cycling at the pro scene, and vyse cant really perform that information cycle
I think KJ might be the correct option, since she lock mid while Viper lock A
