Usually when a new agent is released, they see a large spike in pick rate in Ranked as people at least try and experiment with the new agent. With Yoru, for example, we saw a 34% pick rate in his launch patch. But not Astra, she has by far the lowest pick rate of any agent at launch at just 6.8% across all ranks. Compare that to Viper who has a 10% pick rate. At least with this new release, Skye will no longer have the worst pick rate at 9%.

To those saying that she is picked less because she is a "high skill" agent, her pick rate literally gets worse at higher ranks. If we go up to Diamond, her pick rate drops to just 3.9%.
