Besides the fact that he can smoke more than omen/clove, what makes brim so viable on fracture? why do teams opt with him over omen for example? On defense, how do teams not get baited out of their smokes, etc?

delay power?

Can smoke Arcade, CT and Close right on B Site
Can smoke Drop, CT and Ropes on A site
His ult is really strong and can take places like B tower or A site with ease. His molly is also extremely strong.

yeah but with tejo and breach you could have the same no? what makes omen a bad pick on this map

Stim beacon 🤤

Smoking quickly is nice too

The downside of Omen in general is that his smokes are very slow. Brim can drop smokes and stim and run in, but Omen smokes take a critical few seconds longer where you're giving your presence away and aren't gun-out with the team.

Similarly, Astra can pre-place a star and flick to activate it when needed, whereas Omen needs to be firmly behind cover for a few seconds to smoke for the team.

The shape of Bind and Fracture is also such that Brim molly and ult clear a lot of space. Tejo and Breach are more "expensive" to run, in the sense that they need another initiator to help with scouting, which in turn prevents you from running double smoke, double senti, etc. so having high delay power on your controller is efficient.

Am I correct in guessing the reason his 'fast smokes' are needed is cause defense rotations are insanely fast on fracture? Thanks for the answer btw, this was the explanation I was looking for

That's part of it too, yeah.
