START reworking bad agents, making GOOD maps, reworking bad maps, adding new content
The game we have right now is in a good spot and adding more shit is not the right move especially when the reworks/maps are bad-I mean how many agents rn are ass, how many maps are ass-alot
adding more and not focusing on what we have is making what we have worse especially when they try to rework shit its ass (how do you rework harbor the worst agent in the game to be even more ass)
I agree for initiator duelist and sentinel. But holy molecules, controller have so few diversity despite being a classes that we might now need to have 2 per game (Plus more smoke diversity will push more people to play it in soloQ)
thats what reworks are for. Riot think nerfing agents to nothing will make us play them more, we could have options of omen/astra, or double controller with harbor/viper, but instead we get ts
Even if all the controller where good enough, that would not be enough controller since the class is so mush important now
The wholesale nerfs to multiple agents was their attempt to reduce ability overload in rounds. It wasn't really made to make us play the agents more or less, but to shift the game to more gunplay. To an extent, this is good, but I agree that the limitations to agents - especially in the controller class have definitely made the game more constricted in creativity.
The Harbor rework is tragic since he isn't really any better than he was before. Possibly worse since he doesn't have the cascade, but still has high-tide, he only has one cove as his signature ability which has a 40s cooldown and his ult doesn't make the gong which was pretty great info. Harbor is doomed to be painfully niche despite having obvious options to fix his utility.
To your original comment though, devs are so slow to do any of these four things. Maps will only be taken in and out of rotation with the very occasional changes. Good map design feels a bit subjective, but changing up the maps would be fun.
