Rn the agent pick rates of smokers are balanced, with brim, astra and omen all sitting around 25% pick rate. Viper, however, has an unbalanced 40-50% pick rate since she is a must pick on 2 maps, basically a must pick on bind, and decent usage on fracture and split. Since her wall is so unique, we need another smoker that does wall smokes too so she could be replaced on some of these maps, reducing her pickrate.
The new agent ideally should have:
-a unique mechanic that allows him to bend the wall while casting(however, unable to reactivate the wall again)
-a flash that is specifically for pop flashes around corners/going through walls
-a molly that does a lot of damage to delay enemies(controllers all have some sort of aoe ability and this is no exception)
-a duelist ult for him to be more flexible and making this controller a lot more fun to play. Maybe something like a 6 point cost ult that allows him to have a second life?
To spice it all up, make it so that his wall and Molly heal him. Could be a fun mechanic that allows surprise pushes through his new utility.
Wait a minute... This sounds exactly like Phoenix!
