In Valorant , Viper has never quite escaped controversy when it comes to rep rate .
Despite getting repeated buffs to his kit, Viper still remains the least selected Agent in the game at all tiers. According to a recent stat from Blitz.gg Viper , the Viper only has a 1.7% pick rate in Gold and gets worse as the tiers go up. He has 1.3% on Radiant and 1.1% on undead.
Viper's incredibly low select rate has been the only flat rate for Agent since Valorant's official launch.
The problem with it wasn't just limited to average matchmaking, as it hardly saw the light of day in any of the competitive games during the Ignition Series tournaments. This trend seems to have followed suit in the North American First Strike qualifiers.
Despite the recent patches, some may think Viper may be overpowered, the pick rate is as lousy as ever, and the Valorant developers still think it "needs a little help".
Brimstone has been dropping quite a bit from the Valorant meta in recent patches , and with Omen and Jett on the roster, he's also seeing less competitive picks.
Riot will not resort to any meta change updates until the First Strike Tournament competition ends , as this could significantly break the competitive integrity of Valorant.
