sick and tired of seing clove in ranked,
this agent is so fucking shit
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 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
