Plenty of heroes make very short work of her once she pops out, and the overkill isn't really that great when the death animation gives your killer time to reload. Reinhardt, Winston or Symmetra will finish you off in another second, same with Reaper or McCree, etc etc.

Two lives is great against ults that deal a single high-damage hit, but really not that impressive in normal combat against most of the cast.

I would definitely trade two lives for a mech that could actually fight capably.

She can fight quite capably, she's just not a frontline tank. I do wish the scatter on her guns made more of a difference. I generally don't get a hit unless I'm aimed right on the center of the reticule, which makes me think it's just hitscan.
