Yesterday, professional esports player and current member of Version1 - Melanie "meLGlobal Esports signs polvi and completes Five-Man roster for Upcoming Season" Capone shared her forecast about the new agent ISO on her Twitter account. According to her, ISO, like the previous new agent Deadlock, will be overlooked in the game's future meta.
i’m open to discussion but with the nuanced agents Riot has been releasing, i feel like Iso is going to be left out similar to Deadlock

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… https://t.co/uOEerPLuyl
Let's recall that after the official announcement of the Chinese duelist, which took place yesterday evening, the game's community began actively discussing the new agent. MeL was no exception, the esports player reported that regardless of any position, there are agents who are better suited and have more functionality. In Melanie's opinion, Jett and Raze completely outweigh ISO in terms of solo killing, while Viper and Killjoy play much better in control.
I am open to discussion, but with the nuances of the agents that Riot releases, I feel that Iso will be skipped similar to Deadlock. Individually, Jett/Raze are better duelists, he is no substitute for Viper in competitions with dual controllers, and Killjoy is the king of the meta. So, what place is there in the game for Iso? I have been wrong about something before, so I want to see what happens next, or I still think that his pick rate will be 0%.
For now, it is unknown whether ISO awaits the same fate as Deadlock, who was not chosen a single time at the last world championship. The new agent will be released in the third act of the seventh episode, which is scheduled for the end of October. So, keep following our portal to stay informed about the Valorant meta.
