"Iso is nonviable in professional play, but he has potential," - Sliggy from Team Liquid discussed the new agent

We continue to review the reactions of professional players and media personalities to the upcoming agent Iso. This time, Team Liquid streamer Connor "Sliggy" Blomfield shared that the new character would be useless in professional play.

'ISO isn't viable in pro play'

A Shield to close distance
AOE Vulnerable (a lot of combos)
Light shield meta
Run and Gun is strong
SMG's and shotguns are strong
1v1 ult where worst outcome should be a trade

It doesn't fit the current meta bill for sure BUT it has potential

According to Sliggy, in his opinion, Iso and all his skills appear quite weak. In the current meta of characters, most agents can bypass his abilities, and the unique shields aren't exceptionally strong.

The close-range shield is vulnerable to AOE. The light shield fits in the Run-and-Gun meta but can be pierced with SMGs and shotguns. The ultimate 1x1, where, in the worst case, both players die. The agent definitely doesn't fit the current meta, BUT he has potential.
