About the Project

The Importance of Understanding Agent Pick Rates

For my final project, I will be analyzing the progression of agent pick rates in Valorant over the episodes (seasons of the game) in order to identify which agents are the most favored. Understanding this can give insight into the diverse “play styles” used in competitive gameplay, as well as the community’s outlook on the updates from Riot Games.

Goals

• Create a bar graph of the agent-specific pick rates
  • Use ‘gganimate’ to create a time-based visualization
• Determine the most favored and least favored agents of each class
  • The four classes of agents: duelist, initiator, sentinel, and controller
