Valorant 's controlling agent, Viper , has recently become the pro gamer's choice on the Icebox and Bind maps . Viper , who received a total of five buffs after the game was officially released , had a noticeable decrease in selection rates despite the buffs. The interpretation that players are biased not only against Viper but also against controller agents in general can be based on the fact that controller agent Brimstone was almost never chosen in the North American First Strike tournament.
So much so that Viper was also selected by professional players in the First Strike Europe tournament by 92% for Icebox and 50% for Bind, but was almost never selected for the aforementioned maps in the North American First Strike tournament .A recent video suggests that a new Viper meta has become the best option for pro players, especially on the Icebox and Bind maps.New Viper Line-up for Split Attacking.
