Vantage seems kind of boring

So, I did push through and try her more.  I think a lot of what I had said still applies, but I do want to change that I think she is actually more entertaining than my initial impression.

I think she's going to suffer like Castle did, in that she's not particularly OP at anything.  This is not necessarily a problem, I like to play Maggie and she's really not that OP at anything either.  Castle is also more boring than Vantage.

Vantage can be fun.  She takes some learning, because the bat is not the easiest thing in the world to get used to.  Her ultimate rifle is somewhat better than I expected, because it's really the first Ultimate you can use before fully charged, does okay damage, and basically counts as carrying a third weapon.  Marking a target is better than the actual damage boost you get, because you know, scan meta...locating a target for your team is always good.  The damage boost is really icing on the cake, and I don't even worry about it anymore.

What she might also be benefiting from is the new weapon meta.  G7 is just a very good gun now, and I think it works well for her in particular.  Obviously, a Longbow is good too.  

I don't notice her passive much but it's fine as far as I can tell.

Anyway, she's better.  I don't know if she's really going to change the game, the patch did more to that than the character add.  Seer annoys the nonsense out of me, Valk is still fine, Vantage might be height and scan meta, but is not overtly either like the other two characters are.  The trick is some characters, like Valk, aside from just being good, are a kit that are still more fun to play with less work.  I'll play Vantage, though, and I imagine she'll be more available after the initial 2 weeks of everyone trying her out.
