S tier ( Born for lurking) :
Viper, Cypher, Killjoy,
A tier (Could lurk):
Astra, Reyna, Chamber
B tier (Not great for lurks but could work)
Jett, Yoru, Clove
The rest: Do not lurk with them
IHaveAnswers [#2]Swap kj and astra, also omen might be B teir
Not a big fan of omen lurking since his blind is huge for clearing one side of site
astra should be in s i think
clove is probably a bad lurker (in the context of single controller)
but realistically it all depends on the situation
i think that taking good timings during defaults for example on agents that aren't necessarily that good at lurking is fine
it also sort of depends on utlility and game state
i think its fine to lurk as traditionally non lurk agents if youve already used your important utility
for example if omen used blind early for control, or if sova used dart and/or drone early

Cypher should be S, he has cages for getting by trips, can trip flank for team support and has cam for clearing 50/50s

Cypher is great, the only differential to me is that he needs to be on the spot to use his abilities lurking (like the cage), which means if he makes enough noise the enemy will know. Viper and Astra can be anywhere, so they can easily mislead and be more sneaky
