Angela is the only flying vanguard and a hero with one of the most annoying CC ability that allows her to displace enemies in any direction multiple times in a minute.
She may not work as a solo tank, because holding frontline is not her job. But she shines as a second tank, constantly annoying enemies, breaking up their frontline or kidnapping the supports.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
-
Flying vanguard.
She is the one who can deal with flying characters, because they can not outlive her. -
Lots of CC.
She can grab up to two enemies at once with her Assassin’s Charge. But her other abilities also CC-oriented. Not to say that her ultimate transforms enemies into piñatas.
Cons:
-
Not enough health.
Even though Angela is vanguard, she has only 450 HP. It may be enough to deal with supports, but it’s hard to play against other vanguards. -
Only one play style.
She is a dive character and she can do nothing against poke characters when they are far away. -
Small damage per second.
Most of the time she is charging her Spear to deal more damage. Without the charge she is a tickle monster.
Gameplay loop
Charge spear, isolate target, secure the kill. Repeat.
