Valorant Patch 9.10 D-Tier Agents
Harbor has some decent vision-blocking abilities, but he's generally considered the weakest Agent in Valorant.
KAY/O's neutralizing abilities allow him to push through any enemy defense, but he's often left vulnerable when trying to escape a dangerous situation.
Viper deals a lot of damage with her environmental manipulation tricks and poisonous gas, but she's too difficult to get used to.

Valorant Patch 9.10 C-Tier Agents
Vyse is the newest Agent on the roster, and even though her liquid metal abilities have great effects, she could use some more buffs, especially in terms of visuals.
Astra is perfect for controlling large areas, and if she didn't need so much team communication, she would have made it higher in the ranking charts.
Breach is good for beginners because his skills are straightforward and easy to learn, but he requires good timing.
Fade can interfere with her opponent's vision and hearing, but her skills are too specific and can only be useful in certain situations.

- Useful for aggressive play

PROS:
- Exceptional mobility
CONS:
- Limited utility for the team
