Is Astra dead?

Is Astra dead or is she still playable? Her utility is just so good I can see some teams still using her but im unsure, for sure we will see more brims

Not as good as before ? Definitely
Dead ? Definitely no. Her kit is way too good to be dead anytime soon. And most agents have been nerfed in general so it's not like she's bad while everyone else is better

omen and astra are equal now imo .....maps like haven , astra might be better but on maps like icebox and bind , omen is better

For silver players maybe. Astra is always better on bind and viper is better on icebox

nope, still the best controller by a mile. if there's more Brims then riot should start drug testing players and coaches.

no, she is not the best controller by a mile. thats what she was before the nerf. now she's on par or just slightly better than omen, which makes him extremely viable. you're delusional if u think she's still the best. many pros have said that astra is much worse now and omen is back in business.

EU opinion, every intelligent NA team will be running astra and whoever does will win Berlin.

what? wdym EU opinion lmao... u act as if EU is bad or something, stop being ignorant bro. Astra isnt as good as before, and you dont need astra as a necessity anymore. Omen is now as good as her. even liquid didnt use astra and still placed 4th WHEN she was OP, so think about how teams will do now that she isn't OP? it's basic logic, you are just ignorant.

EU also uses brim kekw
They could've taken a map if they practiced astra or even omen

thats just a groundless assumption. fnatic used astra on many maps and still couldnt take maps, so ur argument makes no sense. brimstone on bind paired with viper works very well, fnatic literally went super close with sentinels on bind.

everyone said before Iceland that no NA team had a chance against EU on bind

yea i never saw anyone say that, but either way its shown that NA is better, but im not talking about that, im talking about the fact that astra just isnt as good as u still think she is. and she is not necessary.

Means they didn't practice her properly like other teams

fnatic literally went super close with sentinels on bind.

Could've won if they practiced with better comp

lol, so delusional. you really think they didnt practise her properly when they were literally the 2nd best team in the tournament? and did u see how close the matches were? stop being a fucking retard and accept the fact that astra isnt as good as she used to be, and that EU used astra properly and still couldnt win. its pathetic honestly. ur talking out of ur ass without any proof of the bullshit ur saying lmao. and fnatic's bind comp is still really good and they have the 2nd best bind in the world. u have no proof that they win if they use different comp

Nope, tried to play astra and its unplayable in MM, her utility cost is big(600) and breaks your individual economy pretty bad.
People played brim cause he was easy to use and omen cause u can play it like a duelist.
meanwhile in competitive she will be played even more with the omen "nerf".

I am amazed no one seems to be talking about the omen nerf. Everyone acting like he was untouched.

I think 600 is one of the cheapest utility costs right now, in fact it should be one of the cheapest in the game.
