Rank each controller agent

Imo it’s gotta be

1. Omen - smokes regen, tp great escape tool, blind has a wide aoe which is great for site takes. Very versatile as well
2. Brimstone - has a good molly ability that can be used for anything from holding choke to defending spike. Ultimate provides a great way to take a site or delay a defuse. Stim makes it easy to rotate around the map. Only downside is that although he has 3 smokes they don’t regen
3. Viper
   Nerfs hurt her pretty bad but I think the wall just provides so much value. Molly and smoke not as good anymore, ult is good but 9 orbs makes it much more difficult to use. Still a must pick in 2 controller comps
4. Astra
   The concuss and suck are good, but massive cooldowns make them easy to bait out at higher levels. Having every ability be dependent on stars, which have a long cooldown, makes astra feel kind of useless at times. Her wall ult is not bad
5. Harbor
   Feels very hard to use on his own. The wall only being able to be deployed once makes it difficult to determine when to use it. Cove is pretty strong, no complaints there. Walls are fine but don’t replace what smokes do for the team. Ultimate is decent for info, and better when used in tandem with something like raze
6. Clove
   If you’re a ranked demon then go ahead, but other than smokes clove really does nothing for the team

Viper
Omen
Astra
Brim
Harbor
Clove

as a raze-cypher main

1. clove - basically a duelist

2. omen - basically a duelist

3. viper - basically cypher

4. brim - ez af

5. harbor - basically viper which is basically cypher

6. astra - idk how to ult

swap Brim and Viper and this is perfect

brim only useful on two maps, viper above him even after nerfs. Harbor sleeper pick, definitely over astra rn.

Harbor lineups arent worth it, i think his smoke needs a time buff, otherwise hes in my top 3

As a controller main:

1. Omen — Only controller with movement, has some insane range, paranoia is arguably the best ability in the game, and he has one-ways which are something usually only he can do. Frankly he's broken and needs to be nerfed because his outplay potential is genuinely unmatched

2. Harbor — Super underrated and underused agent. He has some of the most versatile smokes in the entire game—High Tide can be used so many different ways and cut off so many sitelines simultaneously, Cascade can be used to scale or take space or just stopped instantly to be used as a normal smoke, Cove can be used to take space or plant/defuse or as cover because it can block bullets. I fully believe Harbor is an amazing agent who isn't seeing play just because he needs time and effort to learn, unlike controllers such as Omen or Brimstone

3. Astra — She'd be higher if she still had 5 stars, or if they didn't nerf the suck for literally no reason. She is an amazing agent who deserves a lot more play than she gets (and she'd have that play if Omen wasn't broken). Crossmap impact is an amazing thing to have, and the ability to instantly smoke the other side of the map is very very strong. Her wall is also amazing and her suck and stun have amazing combo potential if you're not too obvious about it

4. Brimstone — The most basic controller in the game. Very easy to use, has very straight-forward utility, and has some pretty guaranteed baseline value. He has the best stall out of any controller in the game plus the longest smokes in the game, each lasting 20 seconds. The only problem with Brimstone is the fact that his smokes don't regenerate. That means in a longer more defaulty round he doesn't have smokes left over, or he can't smoke sitelines after an exec because he used all his smokes for said exec. This is why he's down here

5. Viper — Received a bunch of major nerfs recently, but even when you don't account for those nerfs, she isn't really a good controller in the sense of being a controller. She's kind of her own role, a mix of smokes and senti, a kind of permanent lurk role. As far as smokes go she doesn't really provide much value, especially when she can't pick up her orb. There are only a few maps where she can use her wall as an actual smoke, and either way you don't see it too often

6. Clove — the absolute worst agent in the entire game, there is absolutely zero reason to be picking her whatsoever

my personal ranking (in terms of preference of playing + how good I think they are)

clove
omen
harbor
astra
brim
viper

Clove has been used a lot more than Harbor lately tho

ranked or pro play if it is ranked
omen clove S+ they can entry
harbour A with mastery he is basically a duelist
viper astra B site holding senti/smokes
brim C
if it is pro play
viper omen S
harbour astra brim A underrated tbh
clove A- only good if you are a ranked demon only and even then omen clears tbh(karon)
smokes are good in general so yeah

Neon is the best controller.
