When Reyna got released, even though I'm not very good at the game, I noticed instantly how badly designed she is. She has one blind, and other than that all of her abilities are about fragging, and benefitting from fragging a lot. So I'd imagine (and know) that in higher ranks Reyna is on the worse side of the spectrum, but in lower ranks (I'm talking silver-gold) she's absolutely broken, and I won't believe that I'm only one who noticed this.
A lot of games in this bracket come down to which team gets a relatively higher ranked player (plat) who would pick Reyna, at which point the match really is decided. The problem is that there's no counter-play to her (except to her blind), since all the hero's about is beating people in gunplay, which is not a problem for these better players, who, after taking out enemy players one by one, GET FULLY HEALED TO 150 every time. Most of the time the only tactic against these queue abusers/smurfers (or just people who got underqueued) is to 1-shot them.
I've put off the game before because of this, but picked it up again because I think it's great in its roots, but I have to do it again, because matches feel like a slot machine, where you either get a Reyna or get Reyna'd, with a few rare clean matches in-between.
Honestly, I can't comprehend how badly designed she is, what were the creators thinking? She's so obviously bad/mediocre in pro/high rank settings, but is an absolute smurf heaven otherwise. I think she needs a rework.
Rant off, now I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, preferably players who are better than me at this game. The game is sadly too frustrating for me like this.
