What Angela is bad at
- Extremely low personal durability and damage make her a priority kill the instant she's caught away from a teammate
- Heartguard's channel time before attaching gives enemies a real window to interrupt or burst her down first
- She is entirely dependent on the decisions of the ally she attaches to — a bad host wastes the entire ultimate
- Puppet-on-a-String's immobilize requires the string to stay connected for the full three seconds, which mobile targets can break
Every counter below works by pressing one of these.
