Is Sheila Useless?
I'm asking players that have played quite a bit of Rampart. Was there a learning curve? Is her Ult useful? For the life of me, I can't use that oversized meat grinder on stilts. The sight is so bulky...
The feedback was great guys! I also should have mentioned I have hardly any trouble against rampart. When she's got her ult up, Ramparts have tended to miss the majority of Sheila's shots. A grenade or two, and they're running scared. But yes, definitely team oriented. I used to play a lot of Caustic and had a high win rate with him compared to my other legends. It's just not worth it if team mates aren't interested in playing a game of patience and strategy.
@JimPinnuchi Just think of Sheila as a suppression weapon.
You're pretty unlikely to knock anybody unless you completely catch them off guard, but you will be able to pin them behind cover with it quite easily (wraith excluded).
If you've got a good position late game you can use Sheila to really force mistakes out of your opponents. Combo'ing her with wattson gives you some really good scope to create some nasty little killzones too but it takes some organisation, a premade is basically a requirement for a team composition like that.
Shiela is really good for getting damage on people at range, shooting people on ziplines and other areas where you have line of sight and you don't need to worry about accuracy.
I've found a fun way to use shiela is to pop her behind a door and shoot through when people are healing/reviving on the other side as she destroys doors.
