Kate Bishop or Hawkeye, or Hawkeyette.
Kat is the third Hawkeye and they always just call her Hawkeye in most comics I read(now I am not a big young avengers fan so w.e) and I do not really get the need to call her a plain name, like the most boring super hero name in the game.
Anyway
As a character she is very similar to Hawkeye(Clint) to no surprise but with more control on her arrows. This is for better and worse, While Clint can do really high damage and do a lot of effects in one turn is all up to chance and an order he has on what arrow he will draw. Kate instead got a multifunction second ability with 4 different arrow attacks for different effects, most of them quite good this plus an AoE fatal blow ability as third and then a unavoidable finisher attack that hits through phasing etc.
So she has a pretty good toolbox however, thats it. First of all like most other characters who have way to many moves she dot have any really amazing move. Rather have 1 good move you can spam then having 5 mediocre. I often find myself kinda wanting more when I have used her first round attack as then her better aoe is a on cooldown.
But her biggest issue is that she don't have any passives at all. All characters now days has 2-3 if not more really good passives and amazing ultimates etc. She got like the worst in game "preemptive" counter in the game as her passive.
Then she has the most limited passive in the game that she has extra coordination with Hawkeye(Clint) one in a kind of limited passive ever in the game. Some other characters are limited to 3-4 other characters but 1...just wow that is so horrible. So the only team she really can be good in is 2 Hawkeyes.
Her preemptive is really bad.
At first it looks good because its a 100% chance to happen.
But thats what so crappy with it. For example compare it to Magneto's preemptive counter. He has a chance of around 70% per enemy to get 1 attack in if its 2 enemies. This gives a 0.7 x 0.7 = 0.49 that it happens twice per round and a 0.7 + 0.3x0.7(if he fails to counter the first attack) = 0.91 chance to happen once per round.
So in 2 rounds he has a countered rouhgly 3 attacks. She counters 100% 1 attack per round that gives a 2 in total counter, let say Magneto has a counter of like 50%, that is a 25% chance to get 2 per round and a 0.5+0.5x.5 chance for 1 counter that is still 75% chance for 1 counter. That means while he would fail 25% of round where sh wouldent he still has a 25% to get 2 the next turn which evens it out.
The point here is that its aboyut Potential Her counter works like Quicksilver did before he was nerfed. It counters everything even refreshing which is the good part of it. So QS before hew as nerfed had great potential he could get in 1 counter almost every round and often 2. And h could move against everything. Kate has ZERO potential.She always just does one.
And that is just the math fail of her.
She also has to actually fucking move...that is so bad. Other characters with preemptive will do it passively and they don't have to set it up. Sure Magneto cant counter everyone but its usually at least 1 most of the time 2 characters which he can hit and having his iso they can never remove that debuf, which should be noted also removes their critical hit and they cant avoid attacks so its not some simple mark for a binary chance of counter or not.
I wouldn't even call what she has a true preemptive counter is more like a after my attack I will do 10% life damage to the next person in the turn order.
And that would be way better if it was 10% to the person she attacks. As its only 33% chance the target you are aiming at is after you. Means she fails 2 of 3 games with this bonus damage.
Also its really low, 10% is nothing compared to how much better other preemptive attacks in the game are. Its also not a real move of her, like with Magneto its his actual first ability this means it can be further improved with e.g Ionizing iso so it also gives them the radiation dot that stacks and increases energy attack so Magneto's later attacks are further buffed, which also means if he preemptively counter them again next one deals more damage. And obviously from the start he deals way more then 10% damage. Quicksilver even more so he can deal insane damage fully buffed, killing people with low stats.
It does not stack either..so her being a Tactician is pretty shitty as well. She should at least get to stack those boomerang arrows so when she gets her bonus turn its more meaningful.
Hawkeye 2(third in comics) is quite the bad character, she is supposed to only be played with the Hawkeye 1 I guess but htey of course share the same strangt and weakness so its a quite the bad team, I would ratherh have 2 Hawkeye 1s as they would do way more damage faster. At least one of them would get their effect in - I.e potential.
Hawkeye 1/10. Unoriginal(not like the comic was from the start I guess), just a controlled and worse version of old Hawkeye. Horrible passive that is utterly badly implemented and does not work with her class.
