According to stats from Overwatch League analytics site Winstons Lab, Ark died only 2.7 times every 10 minutes in stage two, when the average across pros last stage was 4.3.

If this is how you should play the character, surely it indicates some serious flaws in the design when the best way to play is to avoid certain parts of her kit?
