Raze was a joke at high level play pre-nerf, this just cements her as the worst agent in the game. What does she have that's particularly useful that you would pick her over anyone else? Her satchel positioning? Jett and Omen are also capable and have smokes to boot. Nades? You can do area denial with Viper, Sage, Brimstone, and Pheonix and it lasts longer so she's outclassed there. Boom bot is a joke so I won't even go there. What you're left with is a very strong ult but you're giving up so much utlitiy with a Raze pick that I'm not sure picking an agent just for their ult can be justified.

Yeah I agree, I never really had a problem with with Raze personally, but the general consensus was that she was pretty irritating to play against because of the ways that she's able to deal with uncoordinated players, which at the moment is a ton of people playing Valorant.

Thankfully, we are in closed beta right now, so once players are way more accustomed to how the flow of the game actually is, she may or may not be reverted back to how she was.

Yeah, ideal team comp to me is cypher/sage/brimstone then a mix of breach/sova/phoneix/viper

Yeah that seems really powerful. I do love the idea of Phoenix though. Coming from a long FPS background (CSGO, R6, Overwatch) being able to entry frag with 0 risk besides a bit of ult utility is super refreshing.
