Will she ever be good in pro play?
i think shes good and will be played on certain maps, with more close angles and availability for executes as sova isnt too good on those maps. e.g bind, split maybe fracture
Her coordination with here seize ability will be on another level, I think she might replace sova after the nerfs.
She will replace Sova on some small maps with close angles such as bind, split and fracture.Sova will continue to hold crown on Breeze and Icebox. If I have to talk about Ascent, Sova is way too good on Ascent but due to the shortness of the structures in the sites, she can take the control of the whole site which can be useful in both attack and retake scenarios so both can be played. Another thing I want to say is that there is something Sova can't do but fade can do. Fade can prevent a 5 man rush with her q ability.
TLDR: Yes
all of fades abilities provide intel and help her take space i think with the right player it will be very good, ngl some of the freehand stuff you can do with her is insane
For lineup larry nerds, she is gonna be pretty obnoxious to play against. I think she'll absolutely be viable in pro on certain maps. Chance she replaces Sova on Ascent.
i wouldn't get too excited about fade just yet. have to see her get adopted and that always takes forever. kayo wasn't used even after the buff for a while
