I know everyone is freaking out about her being good but she just has no place in team comps. She's not going to replace Sova or Skye because they just get so much info, help gain map control and skye has flash and heal and sova has shock darts for post plant potential(as well as some combos with other agents). You can't play her instead of a controller because you need smokes on every map. That leaves you with Jett and the sentinel/Reyna. Neon isn't good enough to warrant replacing Jett in any comp and she doesn't have as much pop off potential as Reyna and she can't hold flanks or sites nearly as well as sentinels can. Sure, her sprint looks good and her tunnel thing does too but the tunnel just allows for the other team to rat around it and hide in the cubbies created by it and her sprint isn't going to be great for fights because you really can't run and gun without a spectre. Her nade and ult are good and she could be really good alongside skye but she just has no place in team comps, at least for the pros. She should be a fun agent to play with and all but I really don't think she's THAT good.

Mjtchell [#7]I think this character will be a good Jett replacement or Raze replacement for those that don't necessarily like to Op, but they still like the simple movement aspect. I'm excited to see what someone like Sinatraa can do with her. Also that double wall is quite literally make phoenix useless.
I mean phoenix has been useless since NA teams actually realized that Reyna is 10x better. He's not a bad agent in reality but he's just not viable with Reyna, Skye and Kayo all in the game already + Neon. Maybe they could make him a little better at everything but he just doesn't fit in with the meta and hasn't for a while.
