Analysis of Each Tier

God Tier – Meta-Defining Agents

These agents are must-picks due to their overall effectiveness in ranked and professional play.

Jett remains the most dominant Operator agent, excelling in both offensive and defensive play. Her mobility, burst potential, and ability to take high-risk, high-reward fights make her the most played duelist in competitive play.
Clove has skyrocketed to meta-defining status, bringing incredible sustainability and strong clutch potential to teams. The ability to revive mid-fight and cycle utility makes Clove a nightmare to play against.

S Tier – Strong and Consistent Picks

These agents are highly effective in ranked and are frequently seen in competitive play.

Reyna and Raze are the best duelists for solo carry potential. Reyna thrives in low-ELO ranked, while Raze’s utility-heavy kit makes her viable in both high and low ranks.
Cypher and Tejo provide superior map control and information gathering, making them key picks for site anchoring and defensive setups.

A Tier – Viable but Slightly Outclassed

These agents are strong and useful, but they lack the overwhelming power of God or S-tier picks.

Chamber and Sage remain solid choices, with Chamber excelling in high-skill lobbies and Sage providing stability and healing.
Sova and Phoenix offer reliable utility but require specific team compositions to shine.
Omen is still a strong controller, but his impact has been overshadowed by other agents in the current meta.

B Tier – Decent but Situational

These agents can be effective but are often map-dependent or outclassed by stronger picks.

Neon and Yoru are playable in the right hands, but their situational nature makes them harder to justify over Jett or Raze.
Killjoy and Deadlock offer solid site-holding potential, but Cypher and Clove are currently the preferred choices.
Brimstone and Beach are serviceable controllers, but they lack the versatility of Astra and Omen.

C Tier – Underwhelming Agents

These agents struggle in the current meta and often require specific team compositions to be viable.

Skye, Gekko, and Fade have decent utility, but they have been overshadowed by initiators like Tejo and Sova.
Astra remains a strong controller in pro play, but her high-skill floor makes her a weaker choice in ranked play.

D Tier – Struggling in the Current Meta

These agents are currently the weakest picks in Patch 10.02, either due to recent nerfs or inefficient utility.

Viper, KAY/O, and Harbor have all fallen behind in the meta. Their abilities do not offer enough flexibility or impact compared to other agents in their roles.

Final Thoughts

Patch 10.02 has solidified Jett and Clove as the top-tier agents in ranked, while Viper and Harbor continue to struggle. The duelist meta remains strong, with Raze and Reyna thriving. Controllers and initiators like Tejo, Sova, and Omen remain viable but are outshined by easier-to-play options.

With future patches expected to bring buffs and nerfs, the meta could shift again soon. Until then, this tier list should help players make informed decisions when selecting their agents for ranked play.

Why is Omen only A Tier and not S Tier?

Omen remains a solid controller but is slightly outclassed by other agents like Astra and Clove in pro play. In ranked, his impact is limited due to shorter round durations and inconsistent team coordination.
