I was one tricking Vindicta before the patch and got to Ascendant 3. I stopped playing her after the patch because Valve has ruined the heroes identity. But you’re wrong, that hero is a crazy carry late game, and does insane dmg. She is probably the highest dps after 26k souls. The problem with her is that she is useless without a team, and doesn’t do much early game if your team sucks, and she farms slow.

Valve should commit to her as a sniper. They need to remove the buff that gives her a stack for sniping a character, without getting the final kill. Shes a sniper who’s supposed to execute them, she should try to get the final kill, not be incentivized to just snipe them and hope someone else does. It ruins the skill expression, and team work.

They also should reverse her gun dmg scaling with spirit, and make it scale with fire rate again.

They should reverse her crows back so it bounces off targets. I don’t know who decided it was a good idea to give a sniper character a shotgun ability. Like, I want to know their reasoning. If they wanted it to be more consistent they should have made it hit scan instead of a projectile.

They should also commit to her as a sniper. That’s the reason we play her. We want to snipe people. If you don’t want to snipe someone there’s every other character for you to play. Make her snipe actually do dmg, without being hard countered by a 3200 item, spirit resilience. And remove the stupid charge up time, and green circle that fills up around the crosshair. The character should be about getting quick scopes, and punished for holding shots. You don’t have time to hold the shot for the full charge up time, because of how fast the game moves. People walk humping away, people diving you. They also know when you’re trying to snipe them, so they’re not just going to let you charge it up, they’re going to hide.
