Suggestion, like in OW, give it a channel time?

Like a baseline bribe? I think hacking a camp and have it all convert to your side immediately is too powerful. The thing with bribe is that you have a stacking mechanism which forbids you from just constantly taking over Merc camps left and right. I feel like if you put that on an ability, baseline moreover, it’s gonna be too OP.
Maybe have it in a talent where after she gathers stacks of [insert stuff here] she can use her Q to “bribe” 1 Merc of the camp. So like bribe.

Suggestion, maybe use the name originally designated to her stealth ability? I think it was called thermoptic camo.

I really think disabling all of the enemy’s forts and structures is way too powerful. Maybe give her a more distinct ultimate? She already has a hacking ultimate in EMP. Maybe something like allowing her to take on the basic abilities of an enemy hero for a specific time or for limited use.

Also, in my opinion, she shouldn’t be a siege specialist. I mean it’s fine for her to disable structures, but maybe make her not deal enough damage to actually push lanes like Sylvanas. And I just wanna add that maybe copy pasting her kit from Overwatch isn’t really necessary, kinda like how Mei is a fun surprise with her kit. Idk just me. Great concept though.
