Underrated Agent/Map Combos?

I got a three big ones I think are slept on

Brim on Icebox - Ok hear me out, you still need a viper for defense, but he's actually so OP for attack if you can get bomb down without man disadvantage. The postplant molly buys so much time, and the stim is also perfect for attack because attack on icebox you're just running back and forth in spawn during the midrounding

Sage on Bind - Wall for safe plant on A, the slows are really good to stop site hits and floods, and having a sage heal midround + the skye heal is so nice. (just don't be named ardiss)

Brim on Ascent - not having the omen blind is tough, but the smokes last longer and the molly / ult are really impactful

I really like Phoenix Sunset too

But Harbor Abyss is 100% underrated. He's not played nearly enough on this map for how good he is

Bind Omen (idk about pro play but in ranked hes very good, you can play attack like a duelist and on defense you can abuse op/judge a lot)

Icebox Omen (play viper as your main controller, and replace jett with omen. idk why pros arent giving this a try)

Sage can be good on most maps if you put some thought into it.

I also like Sova on Lotus (near the end of the year some teams started using him)

Sage is only good because of her wall. Her wall is useful on every map, but on exec/plant heavy maps like icebox and sunset she excels. Her problem is that playing sage requires you to sacrifice a slot for flashes, second smokes, or a second duelist.

Brim on icebox is a really niche but really cool idea. Some of mine are:

Yoru on icebox
Phoenix on bind
Gekko on ascent
Harbor on split
Sova on bind
Brim on split

Yoru on icebox is goated. You don’t really need a hard entry anyways, so his biggest weakness isn’t even that bad. Plus you get quick rotates on a rotate heavy map and flashes, so you can play sova gekko without sacrificing the flashes. On top of that he combos really well with harbor (tp into cove + flash past walls) and sova (long range dart and tp, dart flash, ult combo), two agents that are really good on icebox
