Does Viper Need a Nerf?

Viper has basically been a must pick on several maps since Astra Meta.
Currently she is a must/good pick on:
Pearl, Bind, Lotus, Split
and also is a competitive pick on the rest of the maps as well.
Does Viper need a nerf? And if yes, how would yall nerf her kit?

No we need another sentinel/controller with a similar lurker role. Next agent is sentinel I hope they can deliver by making a good lurker. Kj cant lurk and cypher cages dont put as much pressure as walls.

Yea I agree with ur take. Right now there just isn't a lurker agent available similar to Viper's kit which can take map control as easily as she does.

The only other way it becomes more balanced is if they make cypher cages not be a single use ability. They always stay but have less uptime than viper and you can put them up multiple times in a round. It would help his anchoring ability and his lurking ability. Viper has the abilities to threaten lurks multiple times in a round, cypher has once per round so if you give him more opportunities you might see him be a good rival to viper.
