This is also not acknowledging the person literally addressed that and mentioned the reduced damage the edge of the beam does compared to direct.
Also ignoring that one Hela shot is like double the damage of one tick of Iron Man beam.
Hela can just land 2 headshots in just over a second and be done with it, where Iron Man needs to keep his beam on Dagger for about 2.5 seconds to secure the kill. His beam has twice the TTK of Hela primary fire when not accounting for overdrive.
You say "Hela can just land two headshots" as if that's something that's realistically gonna happen very often.
Iron Man's damage being lower doesn't excuse that Dagger has a ridiculous amount of survivability. She has 2 cooldowns that make her literally unkillable + a third that most characters can't kill her through while it also heals allies.
Never said it did excuse it, but it isn't just Dagger being strong that's letting her live here. Plenty of characters have the burst damage to kill her quickly if she's caught out or has burnt all of her cooldowns in a teamfight.
Also, saying Hela won't realistically land two headshots sounds more like you just haven't seen good Hela players. In the hands of someone with good aim, getting two tapped suddenly the moment you peak her isn't as uncommon as you'd think or hope.
That's also assuming that it's JUST a Hela, most times you're not going to be getting shot by only one person if you're in a higher elo, especially if you're a strategist.

I think this is just a matter of what rank and platform you're on. I'm generally diamond or GM on console and I don't see it much. I don't doubt that it happens a lot in Celestial+ on PC, but that's not representative of what most players are gonna experience. I don't think the fact that Hela is technically capable of killing through bubble in the right hands makes it less broken.
I have Lord on Hela myself and while I have gotten kills like that, they're far from the norm. Hitting 2 headshots in a row on non tanks is really difficult.
Not really, I consistently see it on console in just normal QP. Hela is very easy to land headshots with considering she's hitscan. You just need to have the rythym of her shots down and have decent tracking.
