I'd say let people pick what they wanna pick. However, as a sage player:

You got to be ready to heal a teammate and communicate when you do and don't have your heal.
Your wall is a great piece of util, but it does not last forever so don't insta put it up at the beginning of a round unless you have a play to go along with it.
If you're feeling adventurous, learn some basic Grim walls that can catch an opponent off guard.
Lastly, don't res your duo/trio just because they're someone you know. Res when you know it's feasible to do so in order to get the numbers advantage or equalled and ensure you pick someone who has an ult or plenty of util to play out the round.

And just to round off my rant on comp or any game mode in which people play Sage, Killjoy, etc. Stop autopiloting. There are lots of ways to use your set-up both to kill and for info. If you're playing Haven as Killjoy and you see the opponents have gone towards garage and middle the last few rounds, stop putting a kill set-up on A. You may think you're doing something right preventing a potential A push, but you're better off delaying another rush through garage.

Apologies for that last rant, I just needed to get this out to all the Sage and Killjoy instalocks.

This. People think sage is bad because the average sage player just starts the game walling somewhere and then throw 2 slow orbs at random.

If you wall to isolate the enemy duelist, or to defuse the spike, use your orb to actually disrupt retakes or entrys, she is great.

She is a ranked agent at best and even then she is outclassed by duelists with flank util, yes. However she has been buffed to better prevent dashes/sliding into site with her slow orb. Her heal has been buffed a bit. She will not be meta like Killjoy going forward, but she is good if you got a team who can play fast and then someone else can hold flanks and go on lurks. Sage is inherently gonna be best with the team.

You don't say. My point is that if you play Sage, you are always gonna be playing with the team since she gains little to no value on lurks as she has no info util and her heal to teammates is immense. Cypher and KJ are agents you can play with the team or play on a lurk - and arguably, these 2 are agents you should be playing separate from the main team at least on attacks.

Why ? The agent is good in proplay and it's not a char that need a perfect sync to be usefull, so also good in ranked

Deadlock is legit Sage but better in every way

Better wall
Better slow
actual senti util

All that Sage has different is a situational ult and a worse skye heal

um i mean sage can be useful but like a solid 90% of the time its a pocket sage or some 10 year old kid who overdosed on grim content so they both make sage look pretty shit
