I hear what you are saying...
1. I'm not sure I believe the slow part, because watch someone trying to deploy a pathfinder Zipline, how slow that is to launch it. I've been able to deploy and jump faster.
2. Isn't Paths zip cool down longer?
3. Yes Audio has always been an issue, but not sure where that comes in for her teleporting?
If you think her Ult is the only good thing, I'm sorry to say, you haven't tried playing her long enough, because I've been playing her daily since Season 5, and because of her teleport, I can out run anyone on the map, think about that for a sec, you and another legend are standing side by side, who's going to beat her, Pathfinder maybe, from what I recall, his grapple isn't that far, only the zipline, and unless someone playing Path has a clear shot at where to land the zip, it does take most people a second or two to place it.
You have to be more tactical with her is all, and if you are, she can jump fast to high ground and control the area, because of this, not to mention get out of situations...
I know people can see the teleport trail, but no one has ever killed me because of it, you just have to stay aware of the map and people before throwing it.
Let's not forget that you can see Loot others can't, this is amazing. I always easily find that LVL3 & LVL4 loot... LOL You can also steal that nice LVL4 Shield out of the vault now, Black Market, etc... Loba is a great Legend, and let's be honest, it's all nothing but Personal Preferences, and I personally prefer Loba...
On the teleporting side;
---> Look Before You Leap.... LOL 😉
