We've had more than a day to contemplate what Iso will bring to the table with his addition to the Agent pool, and some of the pros have already spilled their tea on him. Here's all we know about it.
Same as every patch or agent addition to the game, some of the streamers get a first glance at those changes. As they got the chance to play Iso in an actual match, some of their opinions might have been too harsh, while others were rolling frags and abusing some aspects of the agent. Here's what's going on around the release of The Dead Lilac.
Valorant Pro meL Thinks Iso Might Be Left With 0% Pick Rate
If you haven't seen what Iso looks like and his abilities, the linked article above has everything you need. Iso is the latest and much anticipated Valorant Agent, and it's been a while since we've seen a Duelist added to the game. Melanji is a GC star, and she didn't hold back when expressing her opinion about Iso.
”It’s just hard to justify having him in a comp over anyone else. Jett/Raze alone are better duelists with raw entry power with their dive, I wouldn’t run him over any initiator, obvs he’s not a Viper replacement in double controller comps, and KJ is king in the senti meta outside of Cypher/Chamber on select maps. So what room exists for Iso to be played?” - meL on X
This has been an issue for quite a long time, and people are getting bored of the same duelist meta over & over again. No matter how nerfed Jett will get she will still be viable, and Raze just seems like the perfect duelist in any map or any team comp. The main argument that Iso might not be viable at all is that he requires quite a big skill cap to properly use his abilities. While this is true, and there is no denying that, others might not share the same opinion and have already rampaged pubs with Iso in the closed testing amongst the streamers.
Cryocells Might Have Found His New Main In Iso
It's always important to see both sides of the story, and as the second one we found 100T Cryo blasting pubs with the new agent. While "meL" had a pretty good take on Iso's ability execute complexity, others think he is the answer to the popular Duelists. The vocal point here is his ultimate, and it seems like it could be the answer to the ever-so-popular Reyna's, Jett's & Raze's. While his ulty is active, and in a duel with any of them, the enemy agent is suppressed and cannot use any of their abilities.
- If you're going to watch Cryocells, watch him Ad-Free on Twitch, and give him a free sub by getting 30 days of Amazon Prime for free on this link .
So, if you catch a Jett or Chamber with Ulty on and no rifle on them, you are getting a freebie as your chances to duel someone with a classic are insanely high. Below you can find the YouTube vid of Cryo showing off his Iso skills, and we hope you can learn a thing or two from it.
