None of the agents feel completely... right for me

Hello! Been playing for quite a while now, and something that I've noticed being quite the problem as of late is that I don't feel like any of the agents really fit me all that well.

Basically, here's the deal: I've changed my main rather frequently for one fairly big reason: The agent simply does not feel right for me. The ones I've played the most are likely viper, killjoy, phoenix (at the very start), sova, and now fade. However, each and every time, I eventually change agent simply because there's always something missing, whether it be the fact that the playstyle of the agent doesn't match my own, or that I don't use certain abilities, or whatever else it may.

I mean, ideally I'd like some weird frankenstein of agents, which wouldn't really work. I love viper's ultimate, and I've found myself clutching the round on multiple occasions with it. Unfortunately, viper's heavy dependency on lineups and setups have led to me disliking her as it simply didn't fit my slightly more proactive and aggressive playstyle, especially since I rarely found myself having the opportunity to learn any lineups during actual matches. I also love Fade's signature (and sova's for that matter), as some form of information gathering that highlights enemies is something that I love, so although she seems to fit my preferences the most and will most likely be my agent of choice if I don't find someone better from this post, I just don't really like the combo aspect of her abilities. Killjoy's alarmbot is another favorite of mine, as it lets me know if someone is running up on me, but with her being a sentinel, I once again can't play aggressively (especially with the range limit of her abilities). And, of course, some sort of flash to top it all off.

Obviously, some of these could be made up for with the utility of teammates. However, I much prefer having that on my own, as I simply feel more comfortable that way. I can't for the life of me figure out which agent would align with this the most, apart from the aforementioned fade. Should I just stick with her, or do y'all have any suggestions for a better agent that would fit a more aggressive playstyle whilst having abilities as similar to the ones listed previously as possible?
