Is sage a Controller ?

More I think about it and more I think I will start to classify Sage as a Controller

"The abilities of agents under this role focus on defensive play, with emphasis on supporting the rest of the team through providing intel, anchoring down sites, and preventing the enemy from flanking."
"The abilities of agents under this role allow them to assist their teammates by cutting enemy vision, taking control of an area, and forcing enemies into choke points."

Wish one fit the more to Sage ? Controller one.

Also if we look at teamcomp, is sage more paired with another Controller (Meaning she is a Sentinel) ? Or not ? (Pushing into something more ambiguous)
On 111 games

And don't tell me "Well, she is 2ndary sentinel she cant be played without another sentinel", ok ? So why they are so many composition without a sentinel, 19% of teamcomp in 2024 are without any sentinel... (Are are really strong : Bind, EDG on Auyss and Lotus, GEN on Breeze)

I think Sage is the first controller that is isn't a smoker...

Providing intel and anchoring site define more Sage than cutting ennmy vision, taking control of Area and forcing chokepoint ?

I see nothing in her gameplay that make her more a sentinel than a controller

I'm just digging into the data, and the data tend to tell me she may be more a 2nd controller than something else, she is sooo hard to classify
