Valorant Chamber has hit a roadblock as his pick rate plummets. But, Killjoy has picked up the slack and dominated in professional play.
Chamber rings alarm bells in all of Valorant's players due to the strength he has had recently.
Being able to dominate and keep teammates alive left Chamber with impossibly high win rates.
But, Riot Games have realised this with frequent nerfs to the overpowered champion.
With his dwindling pick rate in this new update with episode 6 of the game, Killjoy has taken centre stage.
The North American Challengers Open Qualifier saw Killjoy being picked over 70% of the time.
So, let's look at why Killjoy is preferred over Chamber in episode 6 of Valorant with professional players.
