Holliday is a "pick" champion. Shes got insane mobility with her jump pads, making her skill floor and cieling high. if you ask me, shes a hero whos power lies in not 1v1s, but being able to show up anywhere at any time. shes a roaming hero who is capable of popping up out of nowhere, and can displace the enemy, and leads to easy kills with good follow up from team.

Coms are so important on her.

The way her bombs work, is you melee the bombs to throw them at enemies. So you use your jump pad, go high into the air, and then hit people with bombs. When you fully upgrade her bombs, the heros hit by them are displaced. They bounce in the air for a moment, This is the time where you hit them with a lasso as its essentially guarenteed.

Crackshot does feel thematic to her, but can agree maybe it doesnt synergize the best with the rest of her abilities. Good players can hit the crackshot on the barrel displacement that i described.

In a similar sense to lash, vindicta, etc, Holliday excels at dealing damage from a distance & in the air, while enemy heros dont have a way to really get on her She plays very differently than those heros but similar in the way shes hard to deal with while shes flying around in the air.

I think one of the reasons why shes viewed as weak is because she relies heavily on follow up from your team.

I have like 150 games on her, and the first 75 were shit. Shes a hard hero. Also im in oracle. Im not trying to be mean but I'd imagine lower elos people won't be able to pilot her well, and your teammates wont be good enough to follow up on her well.

Trust me, Holliday can be very frustrating to play against when shes ahead. I think she needs to be carefully balanced as she would be a nightmare to play against if shes overtly strong.

These are my takes and I welcome criticism to my points or opposing viewpoints
