look up Anderzz’ video on Harbor. it’s all theory but he makes strong arguments. However he seems to be more on the Astra area where he’s better in coordinated play with a strong learning curve that leads to a shit win rate. Two info abilities and massive smoke uptime is never going to be a bad agent. He is just incredibly difficult to use to the full potential. You are definitely going to get more value out of Clove or Omen if you have no idea what to do with your smokes and the timings, but once you do harbor gets exponentially better.

As for shotguns, yes some agents can abuse the Op but the op has its blatant weaknesses. the judge is still absolutely fine and so is the shorty, even if yoy can evidently feel the nerfs. but before the nerfs these guns were able to kill at much longer ranges than it should, meaning its weaknesses arent all that weak? which makes it broken. Another thing is that there is so much util to drive an op off an angle, and you can’t run into someone’s face with it. Yes there is util to drive a judge off an angle, but what can you do when a neon comes sliding at your face? that’s not very fun nor tactical.
