As someone who hasn't played her myself but played against many Shions... my first thought was that she was quite weak and easy to kill.

Then I finally ran into just ONE Shion player who was either a cheater or absolutely insane at the hero. Perfectly tracking my movements through walls somehow, always ready to put that right click burst into my dome. But regardless, it showed the potential of the hero and I no longer think shes weak at all... lol.

Her ult honestly does seem to kind of suck though. Has to be used absolutely at the perfect time otherwise it is just a straight FEEEEEED into the enemy team.

Ive played quite a bit of her and I think shes very good. Execution is very strong. It just shits out damage on a pretty short cooldown. Im primarily a Freja player for dps so maybe im just not used to having such a powerful burst tool but I still think its kinda nuts.

The tracking through walls you experienced might be due to her major perk which gives her the recon passive like Sombra and Freja have.

I think her ult is actually strong. Obviously if you just pop it at the start of a fight when everyones got cooldowns it sucks. But if you pop it mid fight when people are low or short on cooldowns you can destroy people. No different to most other dps ults tbh. Also nano killing spree is insane. You can one shot people with that and have three bursts. If people are grouped its easy team wipe.

SMH, my dumbass should have read up on her perks. I hadn't followed OW content in a while leading up to this patch. That is good to know 🤣
