I played Clove in early access with bunch of other professional players and for a week after launch, and I think they are a meta shifting agent. You get some of Reyna's ability that offers you faster heals while letting you activate it without being in the line of sight. Meddle is also an instant decay that can be very useful in pistol rounds and combining it with AOE damaging abilities can be huge. Smoking after death is why I think Clove can be easily fit in any composition and might make the teams play double controllers in a comp.
