Jett:

With a total of 529 picks, Jett secured the top spot as the most picked agent in the Pacific and claimed the second and third spots in the Americas and EMEA, respectively. Jett serves as an entry specialist, leveraging her mobility and aerial abilities to create space, secure kills without trading, and economically support her team with her knives. Raze is a distant second among duelists at the pro level.

Viper:

Viper was chosen 382 times, placing her as the fourth most picked agent in the Americas and EMEA, and the sixth most picked agent in the Pacific.

Despite regeneration nerfs, her Viper’s Pit ultimate remains a potent round-ending ability.

Skye:

Omen:

Omen amassed 375 picks, making him the most picked agent in EMEA, the fourth most picked agent in the Pacific, and the fifth most picked agent in the Americas. EMEA compositions prominently featured Omen as the primary controller, making him a staple in almost every lineup. Omen’s quick and precise smokes, ability to reach advantageous angles through Shrouded Step, and value as a lurker contribute to his popularity and effectiveness.
