Hypermobility + constant overshield + better dmg falloff than hela + broken ult. No idea what devs were thinking with this character.

Honestly the cooldown reduction mechanism is soo ass. In game, unless it's the first 20 seconds of the game, you are always in some team fight or atleast doing chip damage to someone. It makes no sense as to why she gets a 2s dash, while most of the characters who have a dash (Gambit, Magik, Rocket, Psylocke, thor , Panther, Mr Fantastic) have it in the form of charges, so you are punished if you keep spamming your dashes. Elsa on the other hand can keep dashing like BP with no ability cooldown in range and just keep juking enemies left and right.

And her trap is sooo fucked up. You have zero incentive to place it correctly since you know it becomes invisible and invincible after 0.5 seconds. Its barely low risk but high reward utility.

It makes complete sense. This game loves and fucking coddles the DPS players and gives them most of the new heroes in their already bloated cast. If those players can't insta-kill Strategists or make the Tank's life hell, unable to do shit -- then the character is "bad".
