Actually great for ranked
Nobody shoots the stun, the stim is crazy fast, and having heals on your smoker just works really well
All the Miks + Neon duos are gonna have such inflated stats together

As soon as people figure out you can break them I think it'll stop but I agree, good ranked controller.
I'm still not really sure why the bot is destructable when it doesn't do anything too good and doubly unsure why the smokes don't have a secondary effect like sound dampening (like old astra wall, not complete blocking) or sound-based info like Sage slow, Cypher Cage, Deadlock stuff for example.
But he's a good start for ranked viability. After we finish him, just need to rework Clove and Viper so they're both good in pro AND ranked, and it's much easier to do that when Clove isn't the only simple smokes agent for ranked noobies.
The smokes already last about 2 seconds longer than omen and astra's so I'd say they're fine
I think the stuns are breakable just because it's a lot of stall power to have 6 pulses of stun otherwise.
Maybe they could be unbreakable but only emit two pulses? I feel like this will stop him from being picked in pro if it's not changed
I personally don't like the idea of having 2 charges on his m pulse it's kinda op 2 heals is kinda insane especially when u heal so much and urself also I feel like he should have one charge of his M plus with either a stun or a heal which cannot be destroyed this might be better also the stuns should be lil faster I feel like
I think his stim can get an extra charge or maybe another extra affect like Damage boost or maybe some other effect I think its just like brim stim but for 1 person very repetitive ability rest he is hella cool
Well the stim is intentionally half an ability to make up for having two m-pulses. It's kinda like how harbor and viper have one smoke as a tradeoff for having a big ass wall
The other thing too is that his kit is the most expensive of any controller, at 800 creds.
Since he is a support, riot could lean into that and make the m-pulses more expensive if they turn out to be too high-value. Then there's a lot of rounds where he will only be able to afford one m-pulse or a cheaper gun
Heal also being a stun is intentional design to make him a healer that doesn't lose kit power to healing being mostly bad in pro play. You may recall a common Sage buff suggestion being to make her slow and heal share charges and the cooldown for this reason.
Me and my bro been playing phnx + miks the stil plus ult is absolutely insane guarantee 2 kills every ult
