sick and tired of seing clove in ranked,
this agent is so fucking shit
Yistyy [#2]nah she's good. she can use smokes after she dies. the real shit agent in ranked is sage. literally useless and everyone who plays her are always bots 9/10.
getting people to play around 13s smokes is still a pain ngl
but yeah i guess the stats speak for themselves
Unfortunately this is just the ranked experience. People wanna play agents that enable them to take fights and have some sort of get out of jail card (for Clove, it's the heal and the revive ult). Plus, agents like Astra, Viper and Omen require a bit more coordination. Astra especially since she has a high skill ceiling and is more able to play far positions. This makes Astra harder to play in ranked though because not many players are gonna maximise the coordination. It's why Breach and KAYO are difficult initiators to play in ranked.

I see Sage picked way too much. It's definitely a lower-elo favourite since she has heals and a revive. Literally the best pocket support... except a lot of these low-elo players only use these util for their duo/trio or do not know how to use it at all somehow.

Sage win rate in high elo is like the highest

omen is the useful version of yoru
I mean everything is fine except the smokes lasting 2 seconds. On top of that, add the fact that most players cant coordinate util and smokes with site executions in general. If you take too long to hit a site, good luck if your smoke agent is clove. If you really want an easy smoker that can speed himself up and that has much better stalling power, just pick brim. Compared to the ability of smoking after death, brim's smokes are very long lasting which is more important in ranked in my opinion. All of this, of course, considering that you're picking clove because its a controller that is "simple to play". Just pick any other controller otherwise i guess

Real ones know that Yoru and Omen are the funniest agents to play in ranked

Also 50% of cloves don't even use the smoking when dead ability
washedradiant [#7]Sage win rate in high elo is like the highest
maybe because they play her only on split and icebox

omen actually has a very underrated get out of jail free card and entry card in ranked

egirls and fridges need to stop locking in sage bc when sage is picked nobody goes for flank watch and thinks "we solved the sentinel issue". Hate ts bro delete this shit agent atleast viper is tolerable
washedradiant [#7]Sage win rate in high elo is like the highest
legit no body plays sage in high elo unless ur grim or on split even then its a death sentence
ppmcpoopoo [#18]Omen is legit just better clove
his smokes last longer
his flash is wayyy better that whatever tf cloves stun is supposed to be
his tp is so much better for being aggro than cloves healonly bad thing is maybe the ult but even then it has its uses
Omen is a better smoke agent, not a better anything else. Clove fists Omen any other in terms of stats

i stopped playing valorant because of the sages in my games
KOMPOSTO [#15]omen actually has a very underrated get out of jail free card and entry card in ranked
True, but less people appreciate Omen since the TP is shorter-ranged. Tenz definitely boosted Omen play, but I'd say Omen is still less desirable since you often need audio distractions to make the best use of that TP in aggro plays.
