Sierra could've been so much more

General :flair-general:

She's probably the hero with the most wasted potential and honestly she already needs a rework. Simply put, she does too little with the drone, the thing that's supposed to be the core part of her kit.

I'm fine with the auto target at this point, its just that with the perk it simply does too much damage. That said, they really fucked up honestly. The drone should've been the thing attacking the marked targets, not her gun. Think of battle Engineer from TF2 with the wrangler or Magiks demons from rivals but with range capabilities.

Her mobility also leaves a lot to be desired. Its basically just two super jumps. They should've let her swing like ball and even allow her to drop kick someone after using the drone. Would've made for a more interesting mobility option. Currently its just widow grapple.

Then we have the nade, the least inspired and flexible part of her kit. You literally can only use it to deal damage, unlike every other nade in the game. Honestly they should just remove it and instead spend that power somewhere else.

The ult simply does damage. Its completely dependent on the map, practically useless in open spaces and a bit terrifying in enclosed ones. Its basically a mix of balls and hanzos ult. Its not interesting, but I dont think it needs to be. That said, I would've liked if you could shoot the drone down, maybe with that deficit they could've made it more interesting.

Her 3D model is nice, great even. You cant go wrong with ebony cammy. Its just that her colors are a mess. I wish they would unify some of her color pallet.

I've already made a post about this before, but I think now I've nailed why I think she is honestly just badly designed. With the faster cadence of heroes, I dont expect blizzard to fix her or even waste too much time on her, which is honestly a shame. I hope that this is not a sign for future hero releases.
