So as we can see Currently some agents in the game are super powerful and Are viable on most maps while some agents like Sage , Deadlock are kinda dead agents in the game no one picks them . And we see mostly run same comps on some maps. Like on Ascent every team is running Same Jett Kayo Sova KJ omen comp.
Dev Should really look at this problem and add more agent that can fight in meta . Next year we should atleast 4-5 agents especially a Controller and Sentinal
I think the main issue is with the gun play. I mean judge is too overpowered, it has to be more expensive or if thats too much just decrease the fire rate, mag capacity etc... since smokes are empty unlike csgo, one can literally sit inside it with judge and can get 3k and shorty 1 k and just end the push just by themselves , there is simply no counter play to it. Also viper just needs a nerf at this point she also ruins the "tactical" part of this game. She can just ult the side and spray and pray with phantom/judge/shorty, very cringe.

the counter to judge is don't be an idiot and push into a smoke

what utility can counter a judge? a stun barely does anything, a flash is useful but gets dodged most of the time and there's a good chance you die from spam even if you do it, a drone/dog will only tell you that it's there and then what? you're supposed to just back off because there's someone with a 1.8k gun sitting there?

no the point is i dont really have to waste so much util to get 1 player moving from a fucking smoke. If judge is staying 1.8k then it should be optimized of getting maximum 2 kills. Even if you use util to get the player out of smoke they can just reposition to another corner and repeat this process 1000 times since the current map rotation have very close corners. The game is so boring with its current state, i literally started playing csgo again because i miss having gunfights lmao.

BUFF THE GODDAMN WEAK AGENTS! rather than just nerfing anything and everything into oblivion
this isnt the right approach, because then the game becomes a clusters fuck of utility. if everyone is overpowered, it's not fun

This games core value is utility, it's what sets it apart from counter strike, making it so utility is a 2nd hand tool by just consistently nerfing every decent agent is a stupid move
I think people are slightly overreacting to the jett changes. Rn jett (mainly) and raze (slightly) are the best all around duelists, meaning if you dont have a specific plan in mind, theyre just the best all around, but on maps where jett is the best (unlike raze maps where you can often still run a jett), no other duelist really comes close, like ascent is so heavy jett sided, breeze was heavy jett sided, haven is also jett sided as the raze pickrate on that map has died out this year, but now with this nerf, jett will no longer be the "always best option" and now will be more with other duelists where you pick one of them for a specific reason/play style. As for overall util changes, I dont think its a bad idea but then again we'll have to see, I do want more rounds to be decided by pure shooting and less of a whole laser beam across the map at the start killing 1 guaranteed (c0m) and tagging more

i think they dont want there to be a power creep so nerfing agents is the more viable option instead of buffing the weaker ones

I don't want them to make it 2nd hand. But if they were to make every agent as powerful as someone like jett, then we would be playing overwatch. This game is combo of cs and overwatch, and nurfing characters like her make the game more true to itself
