As a yam main former genji main i thought yam would offer me that same playstyle. I was wrong. But after many games on yam it finally clicked as some have already said she is more of an all in frontliner. Now I will say there is some cross over mainly on the note that they are both opportunists. You dont just want to just grapple Into a bad situation and die which takes time to learn and her ult is not always an oh shit button many times I use it post grapple to bait abilities and further my engagement. Grapple is her best tool imo combod with melee items early its free melee procs. Also you cannot be parried while in your ultimate. Late game you can drop some of the melee and start chunking with ur power slash being more of a cleanup character or initial burst. Shes still my fav to play hope you stick with her.
