Thankfully, the devs have done a solid job at keeping the game balanced, continuously making tweaks to various maps, weapons, and Agents as they see fit. The community has always had its say too, calling on Riot to make changes and suggesting ideas to improve the game overall. Now, the community is calling for Riot to rework one of the game\u2019s newest Agents Deadlock, where despite releasing just a few Acts ago, they claim she\u2019s the worst out of the current roster. Valorant players call for Deadlock rework In a November 11 Reddit thread, one Valorant player started a discussion regarding whether or not Deadlock needs a rework to keep up with other Agents. The player noted that while the Agent is meant to have a different play style from the rest in its class, the Sentinel simply falls behind compared to others. \u201cIn a world where Cypher\u2019s trips slows you down, stun you, spots you, deal damage, and reactivate after a short period. We have deadlocks stun that, stuns (sometimes),\u201d they wrote. \u201cI know she is meant to have a different play style, but it don\u2019t seems right to me.\u201d In the replies, others agree that the Agent desperately needs a rework, with some even claiming the Norwegian is the \u201cworst by a mile.\u201d \u201cI mean yeah it\u2019s the worst agent in the game by a mile,\u201d said one. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t need a buff she needs a rework,\u201d wrote another. \u201cShe needs like 5 buffs,\u201d a third added. According to some in higher elo\u2019s and pro play, the Agent is practically nonexistent \u2014 further proving she needs changes. \u201cDeadlock might even need a rework and not just a few buffs. In high elo and pro play she practically does not exist,\u201d one noted. It\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll see some significant changes to the Agent anytime soon. However, with Episode 8 set to be the next major update, there\u2019s a chance we could see some tweaks then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valorant players demand Deadlock rework to fix \u201cworst agent in the game by a mile\u201d Riot GamesValorant fans are demanding a rework for Deadlock, which they claim is the \u201cworst Agent in the game by a mile.\u201d With 23 Agents now in the game, Valorant is vastly different from what it was at launch.
