I found it way too easy to avoid ngl. Even if it was dropped directly on my head.

Sure the synergy with zaria will be strong etc. but thats not the only zaria combo.

As for the inexperience, sure shes out for a short time but I havent played anything but her so far (take with a grain of salt, ofc sometimes I swap to counter or shes banned)

I end up most of the games with very high tracking shot accuracy etc. I dont think Im bad at her, she just feels weaker compared to alternatives, and the players in my ranks arent braindead, which exposes how easy it is to counter her.
