The 10 most-picked Agents in VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai are: Viper, Omen, Raze, Sova, Killjoy, Jett, KAY/O, Cypher, Gekko, and Fade.

Each Agent in VALORANT has a distinct role. There’s no question that every Agent is useful in its own way. However, because of the dynamic nature of VALORANT meta, certain agents always stay one step ahead of the others.

In the past, we would always see a drastic shuffle among the top-picked Agents. However, in the Masters Shanghai, the top 10 Agents remained 90% the same as in the Madrid event. The pick-rate percentage, however, has changed significantly. In any case, here are the 10 most-picked Agents in VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai so that you can see for yourself what has changed.

Note: The article was updated after the VCT 2024 Masters Shanghai grand finals.

The Agent meta in VALORANT will always evolve. Just because these Agents are picked the most right now doesn’t mean they’ll keep outperforming other Agents in the next event. Riot Games will likely nerf the most picked Agents in the next big update anyway.
