I've been thinking about this for a while now , and I feel like it's the right time to share my thoughts . As of now , sage is a decent agent and is good at playing the support role . But I think that her viability has reduced significantly .
While she has got heals , we can agree that skye is a much more useful agent , who has even faster and more versatile heals . She can heal upto 2 partly damaged allies extremely quickly . Although her heals don't regenerate and have a range limit , they are still very good since a sage rarely ever gets to heal twice in a round .While her slows can stall pushes , they will probably be useless when chamber comes out because not only will his slows give info , but they can also be activated without him having to peek (aka they can be activated passively ) . We might even see some chamber slow and astra gravity well combos . Sage's wall , which is considered her strongest ability on defense , is an only somewhat redeemable ability . While it is insanely good at weakening pushes when combined with her slows , I feel like it would be more viable to pick a defensive monster like killjoy over sage to lock down a site . It would be much better to leave killjoy alone at a site with her turret and nanoswarm rather than sage with her wall and slows . Lastly , her ult is in a very awkward place right now . While you can resurrect a teammate , it is very hard to do so in an open area without getting yourself or your revived teammate die . Also , the ult of other sentinels like killjoy and potentially chamber are much more impactful .
If I have made any mistakes , please correct me (since in am a fairly new player)

If you have streamer mode on, and you type in chat while the randomizer is running, you can see which agent it's going to pick before the randomizer finishes. (look in chat)
