I’m a filthy Viper main and love her to death, but even I know she’s suboptimal compared to Brimstone as a controller. How could she be buffed?

Personally, I see a few ways. Firstly, her toxic screen definitely needs to be capable of recalls like Killjoy’s turret. If that alone is too powerful, you could modify her orb so that it can’t be saved if it’s already been placed in a round. This would give her some more versatility, as having two different smokes she can move would make her better at rotating, as it feels really bad to wall off an area and leave the wall to go rotate. Her gimmick is reusable utility, so she should be able to reuse it.

Additionally, I feel like Decay needs a slight buff to its duration - as in, making it persist even after leaving the poison for a while before the health starts ticking back up. This would increase the opportunity Viper has to pick em off while they’re weak, and actually make her wall worthwhile decay wise. You take damage from walking through a Phoenix wall, so why not Viper?
