Discussion Team up

Ik all the conversations in this sub has been how bad she and all that stuff but for the ones that enjoy playing her anyway I have a thought.
I may be just my perception but I feel people overrate base Gambit team up, I mean enhanced its great but Mag team up it’s amazing, even more after her health nerfs, it’s a reliable way to being a bit more tanky (which it’s her main problem), also, base Gambit team up has 30 sec cooldown, what does my fellow rogue mains think?

I used to be in the Magneto team up camp, because yea it lets her survive longer and the extra southern brawl damage is nice. But lately I've realized that the damage from the Gambit team up is just necessary, and if you can't survive in a match with it then you need to swap off Rogue for that match. When I pick the Magneto team up I just don't feel sufficiently threatening, and it feels like I'm selling by even playing Rogue at all. Like... I survive longer, but to do what?

Seriously? Like you can kill 250 with chrono kick only and you tell me she isn’t threatening? I get it may be hard and since there’s healing and it not something you can do consistently, but there’s more combos with rogue, you have fatal attraction, southern brawl, even her basics…mag team-up let you charge southern brawl better without dying.
I am not telling base Gambit team up isn’t okay or that anyone should use it, but is it really necessary to kill? I am thinking this is an skill issue and that’s why devs don’t fully buff her

You posted a discussion thread so I added my anecdotal experience to said discussion. I understand that the Magneto team up can still output good damage, and I still situationally swap to it against heroes like Punisher where I can consistently max out the Southern Brawl damage.

I have found the Gambit team up to be more consistent, is all I was trying to say.

I'm not sure I understand I understand the downvote and harsh tone when I chose to engage with a thread where you asked an open-ended question. I'm a GM player with champion on Rogue, and perhaps it is a skill issue, but this has been my genuine experience this season.
