Alter's abilities suck

Question

Her tactical: what is it good for? Getting into combat? No because it makes a loud * sound and puts you in the void for like 2 seconds, essentially making you a sitting duck against whoever is on the other side. Getting out of combat? No because they can just follow you through. It's entirely useless unless you're too lazy to go around and find a door and wanna go through the wall instead. Now for the abomination that is her ultimate. It's quite literally just a * version of revenant's old ultimate. Not for exiting fights cause they can follow you through, unless you went through the effort of of having caustic as a teammate and you set up a trap. POSSIBLY useful for getting downed allies out of the fight (if that was intended), or escaping the fight yourself but with that usage time and still the fact that they can follow you through, it's borderline useless. Her passive is her only redeeming quality, and it's essentially just a permanent loba ult. The aesthetics of this girl do not match her abilities at all. She's got a scout passive with a * scout tactical with a * support ultimate. This * has been out for 20 seconds and I already know she needs a HARD rework. (And not like the revenant rework cause don't get me started on how crap he is now).

edit: forgot to mention the embarrassing cooldown on her tactical

@Palette24carats Enemy players can follow you through the Void Nexus, however they'll have to wait for the portal to crack open. What I mean is wherever you teleported from, you leave behind a portal that slowly opens. Once it opens up all the way, anyone, including the one who created the portal can take it back to the Void Nexus.

Another thing to note is that the portal will warn you when someone else follows through the portal. The portal lasts around the same amount of time as Alter's tactical. Each teammate who uses Void Nexus will cause a portal to be created, (max of 3 portals back to the Void Nexus).

If you ever see an Alter tactical, but its not on a wall or surface, it looks different, and has its own sound effects, that's the portal left behind from whoever took the Void Nexus.

I'm guessing this is meant to prevent Alter from having a Wraith's tactical back when it was an instant phase.

Here's what it looks like when it breaks open, the portal is on the right and the left is an activated Void Nexus.

Here's what a fully activated portal looks like:

Its also important to know that the portal will give away which direction the Void Nexus is in. You can tell by looking at what direction the smoke-like trail is going in:

Here's an in-game example of a portal opening, and the direction in which it flows in:

@HigherClouds Very wrong take here. With her tactical you can enter or exit a building on top or bottom with nobody able to gatekeep where you will exit very useful in endgames.
Also it is now a crypto-alter meta; they activate crypto emp and enter the building to finish them off.

As for her ultimate you are wrong; they cannot follow you to the nexus. I have used it to escape a 3rd party, to revive teammates it works very good and goes very far. So you hear a 3rd party coming all 3 of you get far on the nexus then pop an evac you are golden.
