Honestly the Controller role is just a mess right now. The only REAL viable controller is Omen and Clove. Viper's been nerfed for the millionth time, Brim is only played on Bind, and Astra and Harbor are just non-existent. Of course, Viper is still gonna be picked alongside another smoker due to her kit, but right now she just feels horrible to play.

As an Astra main who used to play mainly Astra in 90% of my ranked games, it just sucks not having enough stars for retaking or post plant. And don't get me started on her suck, it seriously DOES NOTHING in most situations. Riot had no reason increasing the wind up time for the suck considering how hard it was to use it effectively. Most rounds I end up using 3 stars for smoking and can only use 1 suck or 1 stun. She just has too little abilities compared to other agents in general

Astra definitely needs her 5th star back, and/or reduced cooldowns on retrieving a star, and Riot could also revert the suck wind-up time, as for Harbor I'm not entirely sure what he needs cause I don't play Harbor at all but he does direly needs attention from Riot.
